YSL Golden Gloss # 18 is a lovely cool lilac shade full of gold flecks - and they're not just ordinary gold flecks either, they're 24 carat gold flecks! Ooooooooh!
Now I'm not going to front, I flinched slightly as the sales girl cheerily trilled "That'll be £19 please". In fact I almost changed my mind as the most I've spent on a lipgloss is "MAC money", but as I handed my card over I felt a warm rush envelop me. Yep, it was that oh-so familiar feeling - denial!! I know you've all felt it too, so let's join hands and rejoice as this puts an end to all feelings of guilt that are related to indulgent beauty purchases.
The transaction was over in a matter of seconds and unless I was going to slip a foreign object in the tube when I got home and then claim it was unsuitable to use, I wasn't getting my money back so I thought I may aswell embrace this gorgeous lipgloss for all it's worth - which is £19 in case you've forgotten! *wipes my brow*
It goes on super shiny and is non-drying boasting Nigella and Camelina oil as ingredients. I've never heard of them but they evidently contribute to the lusciousness this delivers, so they're fine by me. It's quite sheer but I found it layers up quite well so you don't find yourself squinting to catch sight of the gold flecks. I can't wait to wear this over a nude lip tomorrow but I may find myself pretending to reapply it throughout the day as I want this baby to last for the price I paid damnit!! I'll happily show the tube off 6 times a day instead.
My Mum has been a lover of YSL cosmetics for as long as I can remember and I fear I may well be adopting her expensive habit as I plan to attend the Boots Christmas evening on Oxford Street next week and pick up the new YSL Singulier mascara and Rouge Volupte # 24 (Praline Delight) - my first Rouge Volupte! Hurrah!
Let the YSL assault begin!

I love Golden Glosses! I played with this the other day but wasn't sure there'd be much colour pay-off on my pigmented lips. You HAVE to try out shades 5 and 8 - tangerine and blackcurrant. They're really amazing shades and gold pops in them.
That looks gorgeous :) x
That's bloody gorgeous! I may have to invest since I adore Lavender Whip xx
Expensive but wow, I want that. :D
Hey Yinka, is the Boots store offering a discount of some sort? id like to get my hands on urban decay 24/7 liner :) x
LOL thanks ladies xx
@ Postcolonial Rabbit - I'll check those shades out next time I'm there
@ Imo - Just the Boots Xmas evening. Spend £50, get 1200 points. I linked to it in the post. Check the site for dates.
This definitely looks like money well spent! Those lips look amazing!!!
The sales associate sounds like so much fun!
I really like that gloss. fabulous. Thanks for the swatch.
is that MAC lavender whip lipstick only available in the UK because i don't see it in the states?! :(
@LissaSiouz - Lavender Whip was Limited Edition and released in either Jan or Feb 2009. It's no longer available here or in the states, unless you track it down on Specktra, Makeupalley or Ebay!
