YSL Rouge Pur Couture in shade 09 Rose Stiletto


Baby lipstick! Check out the cute! It’s a perfect little replica of the full sized lipsticks except more adorable. The packaging looks gorgeous but feels flimsy and lightweight. I’ve found this in my only full sized YSL lipstick too actually, looks great but doesn’t feel as expensive as it is. Also you only get a shade number not a name on the label which annoys me.


The lipstick itself is lovely though. It has a very strong floral scent, a little bit old lady cosmetics, but no real taste. The shade Rose Stiletto it a deep neutral pink, very wearable and nicely pigmented. It feels smooth and creamy on the lips. It is very comfortable to wear which, combined with the wearable shade, makes it a great work lipstick.


It doesn’t last particularly well and I get perhaps 3-4 hours of wear from it but it is such a little luxury to reapply. Now is the full size worth £23.50? I actually think the formula and shade is nice enough, it looks lovely enough. I’m 90% sold but the lightweight packaging would make me think twice (hasn’t stopped me purchasing a full size in the past though).  Thoughts? x

  2. lovely pink! agree with the packaging - if it is as 'heavy' as the rouge volupte, will feel more 'luxurious'!

  4. Such a pretty rose shade! I think I have two of these, and yeah, I'm still not sure if they are completely worth it. But I like them!

    1. I'm beginning to think it doesn't matter if I think it's worth it, just so long as I love it :p x
