Shades being reviewed :
#9 – MAGIC COPPER
# 11 – GLAMOROUS RED
Hi all IMBB dolls, I’ve really missed you all, having being out of action for a while, but now I’m back with a bang, and am reviewing 2 shades of YSL lip glosses which I’ve had for about 3 or 4 months now. To tell you the truth, I really have mixed feelings about these glosses – while I’m so loving the shimmery effect they give, I am missing the full coverage which I am used to with my lipsticks, as these glosses are very, very sheer indeed. But anyway here goes :
Upper : # 11 Glamorous Red
Lower : # 9 Magic Copper
These YSL gloss-pens come packed in a gold cardboard packing with the classic red and black YSL logo in the middle of the pack. The gold packaging is definitely eye-catching and attractive. These are pen-type brush applicators which have to be clicked with the black knob at the end to dispense the gloss. Initially, I had to click the black knob at least 20 times before any product appeared on the brush.
# 11 Glamorous Red is a sheer finish light red shade with silver sparkles. I find this looks nice to wear, even on its own. # 9 Magic Copper is a sheer finish rusty-copperish shade also with silver sparkles.

PROS OF YSL TOUCHE BRILLIANCE SPARKLING TOUCH FOR LIPS
- Gives a high-shine, high-shimmer effect that instantly adds glamour to the lips.
- Comes in an attractive packaging.
- Easy-to-carry-around gloss case.
- Feels extremely smooth on lips.
- Spreads evenly on application.
- If you like sheer coverage, this would be a great gloss for you.
- Is a good gloss to layer over any lipstick and won’t feel heavy.
- YSL offers 8 or 10 shades in this range
CONS OF YSL TOUCHE BRILLIANCE SPARKLING TOUCH FOR LIPS
- The smell – the brush tip smells very ‘plasticky’.
- Gives only about 2 hours wear time, sometimes less, then the colour fades completely.
- For me, the sheer coverage might add up to a con, as I like some fuller coverage.
- Initially, after clicking the black knob about 20 times, only the sheer gloss appeared on the pen-brush first for about 5 clicks, followed by the shimmer, but it took quite a few uses before both the gloss and the shimmer appeared together on the brush.
- Is high-priced.
I would give these YSL glosses a :-* :-* :-* rating (minus 1 point for the smell and minus 1 point for the time spent in repeated clicking and even then getting the product in dribs and drabs).
Regarding re-purchase, I won’t be buying this product again but I am happy to use it and enjoy it for the time being!!
NOTE FOR RATI, JOMOL, RADS, AND ALL THE IMBB DIVAS
I managed to find the nail polish I had used in the pics of my last post on the Inglot blushes. It was Faces nail polish No. 24 Shimmer Mauve. Here’s a new pic I took :

Those lipglosses look good on you Sabrina, & the nail color is so pretty :yes:
Thank you very much, Uzma. So sweet of you to say such kind words.
They are too sheer for my liking but suiting your lips very well Sabrina! :waytogo: Do you find these better than the L’oreal glamshines? Which is the pink nail paint you’re wearing here?
Hi Ankita. Thank you. I am going to try the L’oreal Glam Shines (new launch) ones this weekend itself and I will let you know. I am wearing an Inglot nail polish No. 698.
They are soo sheer na Sabreena..but perfect for ur lips 🙂
:thanks: so much, Zeeba.

That’s right, Nids. :jiggy2:
Thanks a ton, Rati. I hope you get the Faces nail paint. I forgot to mention that it’s kind of holographic – from some angles it looks mauve, and against the light it looks completely silver.
Hi Scarlett, how are you? Thank you so much.
