YSL Glossy Stain #4 Mauve Pigmente Update: Swatches

This smells so nice, and just pretty!!! It's a very light sweet scent, with just the slightest/barely there hint of floral. 

It really does feel light yet moisturizing, even after several hours. 

It goes on streaky, so I end up using my finger to smooth out the lines after applying with the wand. Since I pat the application with my finger I don't find this too glossy, but it does make reapplication a little messier than other gloss products. And this does stain. In fact it's a little difficult to get all the way off without some kind of makeup remover...which is good because that's the point of being a stain! Ha ha!

On me this is more of a reddish mauve color, definitely more warm than cool. But that just might be me because with my undertones I haven't had a lip product yet that will show up cool. So that's the very short of it since I've only had this a day and a half. Hopefully I continue to like it as much as the last couple of times I've worn it :-)

These were all taken today, around the Noon hour.
