The Rouge Volupté range of YSL lipsticks has recently expanded to include their new ‘Shine’ formula. When I first caught wind of this new release, I ran to their website, and ordered #8 (Pink in Confidence) sight unseen. I knew it would be a hit for me, so no surprise that it is!
The Rouge Volupté line now imparts luminous shine to their richly pigmented and extremely comfortable line of best-selling lipsticks. “Enhanced with fruit extracts rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it leave lips visibly softer and smoother with up to eight hours of hydration”. It also contains Hyaluronic spheres which soften lips and helps to seal in moisture.
The Rouge Volupté Shine lipstick glides on like a melting stick of butter. Perhaps even a bit more smoothly than the original and Sheer Candy versions. The comfort level is high and the formula is utterly weightless. The shine provided is just the right amount. The scent is fruity, referred to as “Mango” and I would agree. For someone sensitive to fragrance, it is a scent that I have come to love. It is truly sensory experience to apply and of my highest recommendations.
The Shine Rouge Volupté lipstick provides more pigment than the Sheer Candy and less than the original. I expect more pigmentation with other shades that are brighter and deeper than this natural pink. The color does not last as long as the original, although I am provided with hours of moisture. My lips feel incredibly nourished, a perfect lipstick for those who complain about dryness. One swipe provides sheer color and subtle shine. When layered, the color deepens and the shine increases to perfection.

Pink in Confidence #8 is dusty pale pink with a small amount of shimmer.
YSL Rouge Volupté Shine are $34 and come in a range of 16 gorgeous shades. The only trouble is choosing just one! I already have my eyes on a few more shades.

Will you be picking up the new ‘Shine’ formula?
This is a really pretty shade. i can’t use it since my lips are mauve, but it looks natural and fresh on you. Anti-shiny anyways, my lips are super chapped most days, matte lipsticks are the best camouflage for me.
Thank you 🙂 I hear you,
I’d get it only for the packaging! 🙂 I’d get Beige Instinct I think.
I know! Just gorgeous. I have the clear, plastic makeup drawers and their right on top 🙂 Beige Instinct looks beautiful! It’s a shame they all do!
Wow it looks stunning on you! I was totally eyeing these the other day hoping that someone would do a review! Now I know they are awesome! I totally want Rose in Tension!
Hi Annick, thank you. Rose in Tension is definitely on my list to. I’m glad my review helped 🙂
Afraid to try this due to the fact that I got the rouge volupte in 1 nude beige and it was just a waste of money. No moisture, emphasized my dry lips and lines…even after I exfoliated……
Hi Lola, I have heard that. Im sorry. Might I suggest applying balm and then applying the lipstick with a lip brush. It should help. #1 is such a lovely color and one of my favorites, I would hate it to get wasted 😦
Gorgeous! I love the Sheer Candy ones and agree that the smell is awesome and the hydration is amazing! Love this color on you!
Thanks so much Arantha! I’m loving it to, their really the best.. Definitely trouble 🙂
So perfect for the coming spring/summer days! 🙂 I have the YSL volupte and a sheer candy balm…I should really resist buying anymore but your posts are tempting me to go shopping!
It’s a lovely addition, just saying 🙂
Ohh that reminds me of watermelon!! 🙂
Yes yes YES!!! I looooove sheer, balmy lipsticks and YSL’s Sheer Candy ones have been on my wishlist for a while. These new Shine ones look great though–I like that it’s still quite sheer but buildable. Maybe I’ll get one of these instead! 🙂
Haha, the sheer are more balmy, I like the shine and a bit more pigment. Definitely look into this too or get both 🙂 so buttery!
Gosh it looks soo pretty on you, Taylor! I think I will definitely try one of this range 🙂
Another amazing color! How many YSL in your collection now? 🙂 Im envious.
Thank you! This makes 5, haha. It seems like more, I will be expanding to include more shines 🙂
Wow, Rose in Tension looks amazing! Definitely get that. /enabler
Agreed! Enabler back! 🙂
Love your new site design, very chic. I have been interested in trying these, do you think it is long lasting?

Thank you so much. They are not the best for lasting ability, it easy to reapply 🙂
Perfection! That’s all I got to say!
Thanks so much 🙂
beautiful xx
Thank you 🙂
I just love the texture! X
Oh, that lip swatch is to die for! Have you ever considered modeling for cosmetic brands? This color suits you so well. It’s like Taylor’s lipstick!!!!!
Haha, thanks 🙂 That is so sweet! Loving it of course
i want!!!
this soft pink shade looks so pretty on you.
the texture sounds like right up my alley. i do like my original RV, but i find it kinda difficult to wear all the time.
very excited! thanks for your gorgeous review. 🙂
Hi Lena! I do feel the same way, except for the very nude shade! This is definitely great for everyday., I think we have many similarities in the lip products we choose, which is Trouble.. 🙂
Oh dear. These sound fabulous!! I realized when I properly organized my makeup, that I actually have a small number of lipsticks, considering. So, I think it’s time to change that! I’ll take a swing by Sephora some time soon and check these out. It looks gorgeous, Taylor!
Thanks so much Toya! A girl can never have too many lipsticks. U just organized my makeup as well, I need more shadow, haha.
Taylor!!!! This is another lemming!!!!! I really want to try it but I don’t need another lipstick. Beautiful shade 🙂
Uh oh, haha. I know what you mean, lipstick is sort of my weakness!
How did I oversee these new lipsticks? They look so yummy, I love the finish and your lips look so perfect :). Love it so much!
Fuschia in Excess is calling your name! They are amazing, thank you so much!
Somehow, I haven’t heard of this yet! It sounds PERFECT because the original YSL lipsticks just don’t look right on me but the Sheer Candy ones are…well, too sheer. It’s a gorgeous shade, I’ll definitely keep these in mind the next time I feel like splurging on a lip product 🙂
The originals are definitely bright, I sometimes apply them with a lip brush over balm to soften them out . They are a food in-between you right! The Sheer are to sheer for me, but they all feel lovely 🙂
My favourite lipstick 🙂
