There’s new lip colour from YSL and it’s perfect for summer. Check out the brand new YSL Vernis a Levres Water Stain lip colours. I have details, photos and swatches.

The Glossy Stain from YSL was one of my first luxury lip loves, so I was super excited to get to know this latest launch.

Swatches

I have six of the shades to show you.

603 In Berry Deep, 605 Bain de Corail, 610 Nude Underwater:

612 Rouge Deluge, 617 Dive in the Nude, 618 Wet Vermilion:

They are all such pretty shades.

I thought I’d show you a couple of them on my lips, and went for a nude and a bold.

Here is 610 Nude Underwater:

And this is 612 Rouge Deluge:

My Review

They feel really nourishing and comfortable on the lips and have no heavy feel. It feels almost like a water-gel, or an essence. You can tailor the finish to what you want, so you could go for a smudgy stain, or layer up for something more glossy with deeper colour payoff.

Some of the shades are sheerer than others. For example 610 is a lovely sheer nude, whereas 612 gives a much bolder opaque finish. In fact, 612 is the most opaque option out of the shades I was sent. I love them both.
