Welcome to another episode of Lippy Lovestruck, otherwise known as shameless adulation for designer brand lipsticks. Today’s post is all about YSL Rouge Volupte Shine 4 Rouge in Danger and 5 Fuchsia in Excess.
I know, I know (head shaking)… another red and pink! Like how many more shades of red or pink lipstick a woman can ever have? As vast as the constellation? As deep as the ocean? At this point, I have no other words but Maybe.
If you’re no stranger to Yves Saint Laurent lipstick line then you know that the packaging speaks of timeless elegance. The luxurious gold case and iconic YSL logo are just cherries on top. Uncap it and you are greeted with floral-fruity fragrance (mango/rosy) that may or may not appeal to your olfactory neurotransmitters (scent is relative after all, but I absolutely like it!). It has a glossy finish and two swipes give an enviable pigmentation. Wear time-wise, the gloss factor is good for three hours, give or take. After that, it leaves a lovely stain on the lips which will last you ’til mealtime.
4 Rouge in Danger is described as deep strawberry. On my lips it appears more red-orange.
5 Fuchsia in Excess is described as bright luminous pink. It’s hot pink if you’re struggling to spell foushia. I mean fuchsia. See I told you, I can never get it right in one typing. Ever.

The big reveal: Believe it or not, the woman posing below was a spelling bee champion in grade school although she can’t spell fuschia right. Oh well, at least she nailed it with supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Can you spell fuchsia right?

Like these lippies? Shop ’em!
Gosh these are so pretty! I've never tried any YSL lip products, but this post might have put me over the edge!
Caveat: One you owned one, you want own more.
That fuchsia looks amazing on you! 🙂
Thanks Destany. Happy Holidays!
I drool over this brand but the price keeps me from pulling the trigger. One day… One day…
No one can spell "fuchsia" right. That is what spell check is for. 😉
hahaha. Frickin' spell check in iPhone makes it even wrong, LOL.
I'm always fond of fuchsia
Kudos for spelling fuchsia right, LOL!
Both these shades are lovely! xo's

Pink Frenzy

Yes, you definitely them. Enabler. I. Am. hahaha!
Both of these shades are gorgeous! Wow!
I think you'll like them too!
You always take such clear sharp pictures. These lipsticks are fabulous on you.
Wow I love these! Gorgeous shades!
those are some HAWT shades!
I'm in love with that fuchsia color. Good thing there's spell check because I can't spell it/
Ooh – pretty 🙂 I just picked up Fuchsia in Rage to add to my forbidden burgundy I had and one more shade is on order but since it got lost with my Naked 3 – I can't remember the name. lol These look great on you 😉
Both the colors are gorgeous! I admit I am always confused with the spelling of fuchsia too 🙂
