First things first,I cannot begin to tell you how glamourous I feel when I whip this out my bag and glide it on! This lipstick commands attentions! Everything about the packaging of the Rouge Volupte Perle is rich,glamourous and sophisticated and everybody should own one just for that! Now onto the actual product,it smells amazing (a fruity mango like scent),shade 108 Celestial Mauve is probably one of the most unique shades I have come across,it's a soft pretty lilac with lots of sheen when applied,in different lights i can read pink/lilac. The formula is pretty much weightless,when I am wearing it,I cannot feel anything on my lips although the colour is there,in terms of staying power,there is nothing to shout home about,I would say 2-3 hours wear per application however I love reapplying my lipstick for the ultra fresh glossy look (although my purse doesn't!). One swipe gives a sheer pretty colour,however it can be built up. With my fair colouring and naturally light pink lips,this shade works,however I tried it on my mother who has very dark olive colouring and deep rose lips and it looked far too pale,so maybe this is one for the fair skinned Euro Beauty Dolls.



The great thing about the Rouge Volupte Perle is that it is a lipstick and gloss in one so multiple products are not needed. For a pretty daytime look,I wear this with a nude face and a slick of eyeliner, for more special occassions or when I want to make a statement,I do a soft lilac & grey eye shadow with glowing skin for an angelic doll look.

At £23.50,it is not cheap however the quality is far supreme to anything I have ever used before so I would say that it is definately worth the price.
