YSL Golden Gloss in shade 47 White Gold Topaz

YSL Golden Gloss in shade 47 White Gold Topaz* - £22, available here

There's something about YSL which makes it feel a lot more luxurious than other high end cosmetic brands. I think it must be the gorgeous gold packaging as well as the high quality of the product itself. Everything from the mascaras to the lipsticks comes in a beautiful gold tube which looks great on any dressing table amongst the boring black packaging of MAC and Chanel.

I'm not normally a lipgloss or glitter fan, however I was pleasantly surprised when I received this YSL Golden Gloss in shade 47 at an event recently. As you probably know, I'm really into purple lip products at the moment although I usually tend to stick to lipsticks and stains. This gloss works great on its own but it's also great for using over other products such as Illamasqua's Kontrol and ESP lipsticks when I want to brighten my look up a bit and make everything a bit more girly. It's not sticky at all and lasts a lot longer than other lipglosses that I've tried in the past, only needing a top up after a couple of hours, plus it's such a gorgeous, unique colour - perfect for the summer! Its very glittery though so it's probably not best for work.
