YSL Personnel Lipstick in Astral Burgundy #26

Hi all! I'm excited to bust out an older lipstick that I've had in my collection for many fall seasons. It seems now (more than ever) that the darker plum shades are itching its way toward the cooler weather. I'm not one to argue because I love seductive dark reds.



As you can see, it's a very deep burgundy color. This is also like a lipstain; rich color, semi matte finish. It stays on the lips really long and creates a stain effect (which I love) but isn't the most moisturizing lipstick. You'd still need a balm over it to not over accentuate dry lips.




Here's the one photo I took quickly this morning on my phone. Sorry for the overexposure, but the lighting was just crappy at 8am o_o You can see how intense the color on my lips are. I had to blot it down so I wouldn't draw attention to myself when i got into the office! I'll do another look with this lipstick again with a better picture, promise!

I also have another lip stain from Laura Mercier that I think is really gorgeous! I'll have to share that with you gals soon. In the meantime, hope you all have a good day!

Ohh what a great fall lip color, I think it looks great on you. It's bold and definitely a statement color. I can see it looking great with pulled back hair or a bun.

DANG you look AMAZING! : D I love the color on you! Sadly I don't really look good in dark colors. I'm one of those really boring 'I only look good in nudes'-girls : (

Yay, another lipstick lover! This looks like a really pretty shade. It's embarrassing to admit, but I have 5 or 6 different red lipsticks, and yours has just made me think I need a plum red to add to the collection.

I love how it looks on you! So vampish and sultry! YSL is pretty expensive but for something this lovely I'd pay!

Love the dark red lips, don't you hate having to tone down your makeup for work. As much as I love red lips I can't wear it for work.
