When the words: love and caring are written right on the label, it’s impossible to not want to pick up and swipe on a little of Yves Saint Laurent’s Loveshine High-Shine Caring Lipstick. It’s YSL after all, which means we automatically want and adore it.
We have blind love for the French brand. Always have. And the products on our vanity, inclusive of the cult favourite Touche Éclat, we’ll-die-without-it Nu Bare Look Tint and our must spritz Paris and Opium eau de parfums, are proof of this amour. So, when Loveshine’s lineup of 20 High-Shine lippies—in hues ranging from Rosy Sand’s light peach nude to Ardent Carmine’s true-blue red—first launched, you know we test drove them all. Now perennials in our purse are “Nude Self’s” warm berry and “Spicy Affair’s” rosy-brown nudes.
Infused with six nourishing oils, complete with YSL’s 60 per cent signature oils base, each lip oil stick is super hydrating. They’re also fuelled with fig pulp sourced from the fashion house’s Ourika Community Garden in Marrakech, Morocco to ensure even the most sensitive and chapped lips can swipe a little on and reap the moisturizing benefits. Not only do our lips feel soft and supple all day, but the colour is buildable so we can wear as much or little as we like.
And when we want more, because let’s face it, we do, we can reach for one of Loveshine’s Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick’s 11 pretty colours or Candy Glow Tinted Butter Balm’s six sheer shades.
Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine High-Shine Caring Lipstick $61 each (Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick $53 each and Candy Glow Tinted Butter Balm $58.50 each), are all available at Sephora.
