An innocent trip to pick up a meal deal at Boots turned into a YSL indulgence session. I hold the shiny gold packaging responsible, I can never resist it.After repurchasing my must have mascara, Singulier and my all time favourite liquid liner, YSL's Moire in the number six I was just about to pay when I spotted this.
It is quite possibly the most beautiful lipstick I have ever seen. A lovely milky mix of baby pink and pale lilac.I had to have it.
YSL undoubtedly make the best lipsticks. They smell delicious, feel seriously smooth, are never drying and come in the most amazing array of shades.Number 93 is a Rouge Pure Shine from their latest Summer 2010 collection and also has a matching gloss in the shade 7 which I resisted buying today but will no doubt go back for.
This lipstick however does have a down side, it is a Pure Shine formula so it is very sheer and has little colour payoff. It is not a lipstick for those that love the look of lipstick, it is more of a tinted lip balm.
Personally, I don't mind this for the summer as it's nice to have a lip product that gives a slight colour to the lips while moisturising and looking glossy but also protecting from the sun with an SPF.
Although I know this is going to be my summer lip staple as it's so pretty I can't help wishing it was a Rouge Volupte shade. It would be truly amazing with just that little bit more coverage.Are you a fan of sheer lipsticks or do you need more colour from your lippie?

I love, love, LOVE this colour! It's amazing, perfect for summer days out, when like you say you don't want such a massive impact of colour.. I don't own any YSL lipsticks yet, but this may just be my first! - Thanks for posting x
Oooo that is a beautiful color! I'm gonna check this out because I actually love sheer lipsticks :) It looks great on you!
@The Beauty Sanctum - it is so beautiful you have to go see it in person really! it's def worth it! xx
@ellamarie - yes it's nice to have a subtle colour and nice finish sometimes, easier ot wear!xx
That colour is amazing,love it*wonders if it will suit my skin tone*
Oh that's seriously a gorgeous color, it's beautiful !
I agree, so pretty, ESPECIALLY the color ;)
Ahh it's gorgeous! I hate the Pure Shine packaging though, it gets so scratched :( xx
@India - I know major let down was wondering whether I'm going to have to keep it in the box haha x
This looks so pretty - the packaging is amazing, too. I'm only just getting into lilac-y lipsticks but this is definitely on my wishlist...the sheer texture will be perfect for summer. x
If that lipstick is that beautiful in pictures I cant even imagine how good it looks in person!
@katy - it does take a good picture doesn't it! but even better in real life x
This looks yummy. I need to check out YSL makeup more often x
That lippy looks amazing!I need it in my liiiiife!
This one looks really beautiful on you.
I prefer sheer texture because any sheer color harmonize more with whole look, so it is harder to go wrong. I'm so pragmatic :)
Whoa, that is pretty. I think I should at least own one YSL lipstick. *puts on wishlist* :)
That truley is a gorgeous lipstick! Even as a sheer one it has a lovely colour. Oh I'm gunna have to avoid boots now to make sure my money stays in my pocket! x

ooooh holly, soooooo pretty x
i love that colour, it looks so glossy! i have rouge volupte #1 and i rarely use it as i find it quite drying! interested in looking at some more ysl lipsticks thogh! x
Oh my gosh I need it..the gold packaging is just too cute to resist!
Hi there, just joined your huge follow base. I love the yummy mummy title. Thanks for the photos the lipstick looks gorgeous i am too poor at the moment to buy it but it's nice to look x
these colours suit you so well with blonde hair! xx
i have the coral one from last year, i agree if only the colour was a little stronger its so frustrating as it is one of the few lippys that doesnt dry your lips out! x
What about layering it over something like the Viva Glam Lady Gaga lippie? But alone it does look very pretty!
I love sheer lipsticks and this one is beautiful! x
This looks lovely!
I have another shade from this Pure Shine range, one they came out with last summer, and I loved it! You 'll definitely find that it's an amazing and moisturising lipstick, great for the warmer months! :)

Ohh I love this - will have a look out in Boots next time! xx
Don't tell my boyfriend, but I think I've actually found something to love more than him! ;0)
Holly, you're such a bad (yet good!) influence! I went out and picked it up yesterday and it is AMAZING. I've never really liked Rouge Pur Shines (I have the Frozen Mango one but rarely use it) because other YSL lip products are so much better -- but this color is gorgeous! It's really hard to photograph how lovely it is. I posted about it on my blog today. Love!! Have you tried the Summer collection lip glosses? They're stunning. YSL has really become my favorite cosmetics brand, I think. :)
I think pink is a safe and nice color for most during the ho9t summer months and the mild morning dressings.Though there is a change to coral and peach this summer...pinks are evergreen.
