YSL Tender Peach Rouge Volupte Lipstick Review, Photos & Swatches!

YSL Tender Peach Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick

YSL Tender Peach Rouge Volupte is a creamy and vibrant, medium pinky-peach with a shiny finish. The color is opaque with one swipe.

An object of desire, this award-winning lipstick is wrapped in a romantic, elegant gold case that exudes luxury. Each signature shade saturates lips in captivating color that’s intensely pigmented, and imparts an irresistible glossy shine. The long-lasting, comforting formula is highlighted with a unique Color-shine Complex that leaves lips visibly smoother, plumper and more radiant. Light, silky texture smoothes on a veil of satiny, sensual color that’s altogether alluring . Companion mirror on top of case ensures easy application any time. SPF 15. - yslbeautyus.com

The quality is what you'd expect from a YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick. It's buttery soft and creamy and applies to the lips like a dream. Despite it's creaminess, it feels very light - almost slippery on the lips. It also has the signature mango scent.

The biggest downside with the Rouge Volupte formula in general is, they aren't very moisturizing and they don't have the best staying power. And, for $34 a tube, it's quite pricey for a lipstick that you'll have to constantly reapply.

Nevertheless, it hasn't stopped me from purchasing this lipstick, because it's just so pretty! This is my second Rouge Volupte (I own #2 Sensual Silk as well), and I now have got my eyes on #13 Peach Passion and #30 Faubourg Peach.

Here are some swatch comparisons to similar colored lipsticks:

Tender Peach looks almost exactly like Just Peachy except for the fact that the finishes are completely different. Tender Peach has a high shine glaze finish, while Just Peachy is matte. I'm not sure if my mind was playing tricks on me or not after staring at both swatches.. but Tender Peach seems to be the tiniest bit more peach toned than Just Peachy. Shygirl is the lightest of the three and has the strongest peach tone. Tender Peach actually looks like the Love Child of Shygirl and Just Peachy.. It's like the exact mixture of the two shades.
