Not a colour for me personally

This product line’s slogan is “colour of a lipstick, slip of an oil.” Formulated using six types of nourishing oils, but without parabens and without phthalates. It is marketed to have up to 24 hours of hydration.

Color 44 Nude Lavalliere is an iconic pink nude. It is really light. Putting one layer barely shows any difference, but putting on more layers is too pastel for my skin tone. Thus, this colour specifically is not my pick.

In terms of the texture is quite smooth; it isn’t sticky. It is indeed quite hydrating. Lipstick do need to be reapplied after eating and drinking.

Overall rating: 3/5
I like it in general, but my use of it would likely be a normal lip balm. There is a light shine to it, which is pretty cute.
Given the price, it isn’t going to be worth buying. I am intrigued to try different colours that is darker and more vibrant.

Shiny and beautiful

I really love how shiny and lovely this shade is and I will be looking forward to pairing an outfit to wear with it in the future as it just stunning. I would repurchase both this and 150 shade I received from butterfly again as they are just so beautiful!

love!

i absolutely love this lipstick! the colour is beautiful and the formula is so comfortable. it provides a beautiful shine and is very long lasting. i definitely will be purchasing other colours!

Beautiful baby pink shade

This shade was the perfect baby pink nude, that was a flat shade with no shimmer. This shade looked like my lip colour but better. The lipsticks were super glossy, moisturizing, and light weight on my lips- I forgot they were even there when on! I love the way they look on their own, or even adding a lip liner for a more dramatic look. These are perfect for every day or a night out!

Wished it had more pigmentation

I loved the shade but it doesn’t look great on my Asian skin tone. Wished it had more pigmentation for my skin. May be look best on fair skinned people.

Pretty shade and great formula

A pink blush toned nude. Layering will get you close to a ballet pink, though there are hints of peach in it. Flatters most if not all skin tones.
It applies like a traditional lippie, and has a lip oil finish. You get the durability and shine without having to mess with an applicator, which I find is easier on the go and for reapplication. The color starts as semi-sheer and is buildable.
Very pretty as a cool pink option.

Beautiful color & super moisturizing for my lips

Love the beautiful light pinkish color. It’s great for day to day causal use. Making my lips shine and no lipstick flavor. Love it!

I recommend you give it a try.

This lipbalm is insanely gorgeous, keeps your lips moisturized while adding such a pretty color. Its packed with amazing ingredients and do you know the fig pigment is sourced from morocco. Definitely going to repurchase it.

A lovely lipstick that acts like a lip balm

The lipsticks I received came in fully recyclable cardboard boxes, while the tubes themselves seem to be completely made of plastic (can we bring back metallic lipstick tubes and just purchase the inside piece, please?) YSL does packaging really well; I have really enjoyed whipping these babies out. I feel like the ultimate glam gal and loving the feeling. The lipstick’s texture is borderline lip balm texture, and I’m totally here for it. It smells divine—like a juicy cold nectarine you’ve just bitten into (can you tell I am very eager for summer?) It hydrates amazingly well; I haven’t had to reach for my lip balm at all a single time this week. And I don’t get that weird taste at the back of my throat that I get with some lipsticks, thankfully. Goodness, I hate that taste so much.

Both colors I received from Butterly were close to my natural lip color. The Nude Lingerie gave my lips a pinkish hue, while the Nude Lavallière turned them a little darker, with both adding a lovely shine to my lips. I didn’t find it was particularly buildable, but I don’t think the colors that I received were different enough from my natural lip color that I would notice buildability. I am planning on trying out a bolder color at Sephora next time I go there. The shine does transfer off easily when I’m eating or drinking, but it only gives me an excuse to whip out the pretty tube of lipstick again, so I’m ok with that.

Now the thing is that the price point of this lipstick is quite high – at CA$61.00 at Sephora. It’s a lovely splurge item, especially if you want to have a little bit of glamour to carry around on a daily basis. I’m curious to know more about the other colors, and intrigued to see if it’ll keep my lips hydrated through a Canadian winter. I am considering not just doing a six-month check-in, but also a one-year check-in to test this lipstick through winter.
