I have a great weakness for YSL’s line of lip products, you might know this if you have followed me for some time. The shades, formulas, and finishes never disappoint. The Rouge Volupté Range might be my ultimate favorite. I can’t quite wait for the new ‘Shine‘ lipsticks for 2013. Onto the Golden Glosses, they are the ultimate for high shine and another favorite of mine.
The Golden Glosses from YSL contain real 24 carat gold flecks which create a mirror finish. It seems a bit excessive, I thought so myself, but I was quite taken back by the sparkle from the large golden flakes. My boyfriend is a big fan as well. Suspended in a high-shine formula the flecks of gold reflect the light and dazzle the eye, unlike other glosses. The gloss is a bit tacky which ultimately allows for longer wear. Once the gloss wears, it does leave a bit of a sandy feel although it is minor and not really a bother. It has the sweet scent of raspberries familiar to alot of the YSL lip products. In my personal opinion, I find the sparkle to be a bit too much for daytime, but perfect for a night out and New Year’s kisses.
YSL Golden Gloss in #30 (Golden Satin)
Golden Satin #30 is a light peachy-pink. This shade is a bit more sheer, gorgeous on its own or layered over a lipstick. Photographs can’t quite capture just how stunning this gloss is and the way it plays with light. I do highly recommend seeing it for yourself in person.

Thanks Lena. Bloggers are terrible influences of one another 🙂 you do the same to me. Love my YSL!
Oooh this is pretty! I think I prefer this to Nars’ Orgasm, which I have. I can never get enough pretty sparkling peachy-pink glosses so I will definitely be checking this one out!
Yes, I totally agree! Probably my all time favorite. Thank you 🙂
So pretty on you, love the kisses at the end! Very key-yute!

I always love the golden sheen to these, but I have yet to purchase one. This is a gorgeous peachy color – very wearable, I think!
Yes very wearable, the shimmer is exquisite. xoxo
Beautiful!!! I’ve been wanting to try one if the golden glosses.
I recommend, they are so luxe and shimmery. I can see it in you 🙂
I don’t normally love glosses or shimmer on the lips but you make me covet EVERYTHING!

Hi Karima. Thanks so much, I very flattered I’m a great fan of your blog and I feel the same way about you 🙂 love your looks and style.. Always inspiring. Happy New Years to you! xxoo
pretty! I was obsessed with golden glosses in college, but now the scent is sometimes too strong and i really don’t need or want so much sparkle. lol!
I hear you! I love me some sparkle.. sometimes. The scent is a bit stron but I dont mind it bc I rather like it. xo
I’m also not huge on sparkle, but sometimes it’s just needed. This gloss is gorgeous Taylor – I’ve been wanting to try one of these and I think I’ve even swatched this one a few times but never purchased. I’ll have to give them another look!
Happy New Year!
It’s definitely not for everyday, but it is marvelous! Do swatch again then go into lights, just to see 🙂 thank you sweetie, happy new year to you! xx
