YSL Cosmetics Top Secret Review

ysl cosmetics

YSL cosmetics. Last year I purchased a  YSL Rouge Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick in Luscious Cherry. It was perfect for spring summer, not too much colour but nice and bright. I’m really picky about texture and so I’m not a fan of anything too sticky, hence why I stay away from most glosses. The Rouge Volupte goes on smoothly, I can control the intensity of the colour and it’s very hydrating which in my book makes it perfect for daytime. This year I’ve found myself wearing more pink so it’s quite obvious that in addition to the red I need a pink shade as well. I dropped by the YSL cosmetics counter and was immediately drawn to Rouge Volupte No.5 Fuchsia in Excess. It appears to be a very bright pink in the tube but because it’s a sheer, I can control exactly how much I want. One detail that has never been a huge factor, but is a really nice addition, is the scent of these lipsticks. I have no idea what is added to the product but they kind of smell like candy!

While I was at the counter I noticed that my eyes were looking very tired from a whole day of sitting in front of a computer screen. The makeup artist whipped out the YSL Top Secret Flash Touch Wake-Up Eye care roll-on and applied it under my eyes. What are they thinking labeling this top secret?! Everyone needs to know about it. I felt the cooling sensation, closed my eyes and suddenly the world faded out of existence. The harsh fluorescent lights disappeared, the department store noise died into a soft breeze. How is it that it isn’t mandatory for every single female to have this product in her purse?!  Talk about a spur of the moment purchase. I’m going on a trip to Europe next week and I’ve decided that I absolutely cannot leave home without it!

Do you use YSL cosmetics? Do you love them?

  1. Now that seems like a very cool product. It most definitely should not be labelled Top Secret. Thanks for sharing this one Caroline.

  2. I love YSL make up and my latest purchase was a jade nail polish…but now I need to have that eye car roll on pen ! I need it so badly and it’s all your fault :-)) Kisses from Italy

    1. I happily take the blame. That stuff felt crazy good under my eyes!

  3. Hope Howland (@HHDesigns)

    Ooh if it would do anything for the luggage I carry under my eyes I would be sold! Great tip!

    1. It’s really cooling and soothing. It worked really well for me!

  4. yes…lovely YSL…can´t go wrong with that! not a secret at all…

    http://jezzdallasmakeup.blogspot.com/

    1. Ha! I just thought it was funny that they call it a secret.

  5. That looks like a beautiful color <3

    1. Thanks! It’s very girly.

  6. Closet Strategy

    Definitely going to try the Secret Flash! (I have Sheer Volupte in Sweet Fig and I love it, too!!)

    1. Oh I like Sweet Fig, it’s a beautiful colour!

  7. I love YSL lipsticks, I maintain that they are the best of their kind. And what is this eye roller? What is the purpose? You have me intrigued. Although photoshop is much cheaper, LOL!!

    Oh, and thanks for your sweet comments as usual. I thought everyone would have forgotten about me for now. I feel so flattered 🙂

  8. I am obsessed with lip color but I can’t stand anything sticky either. This fuchsia color looks lovely! Also, if you’re looking for lovely lip color that lasts and smells like candy, I definitely recommend you try the Maybelline 14 hour lipstick – the color is great (I love the dark nude color of Lasting Chestnut), the texture is awesome (not too sticky), it lasts, it’s cheap & can be found at nearly every drugstore, and it smells like candy which I love.

    Have fun in Europe! I hope you will be posting about your European adventures 🙂

  9. I love YSL! They are one my favorite brands! You are right…. the scent is amazing and the texture is so butter smooth! I love them!

  10. love YSL makeup, the new colors are amazing!

    love, Gongy

  11. Melissa & Megan @goldonblack

    I love the way their products look! Eye care is amazing!!
