The YSL Volupté Tint-in-Oil is a new range now released in Australian YLS beauty counters. This is one of the latest generation of lip products that is a lightweight, tinted, oil formula. (Clarins also has released their version of it for a limited time, called Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil, but I've yet to see these in Australia). The YSL formula reminds me of the Hourglass N° 28 Lip Treatment Oil, which I adored using as an overnight lip treatment (I did a mini review of that here) - this product has no tint to it though. The colour I chose is in #8 'Pink About Me', which is a pale, yet brightened purply pink colour. You know I love me some purply pink! ;) #joygasm !
"Coat your lips with this lip tint for a lightweight texture that instantly melts onto lips. It is infused with a blend of four essential oils for deep hydration: apricot kernel oil, coriander fruit oil, jojoba seed oil, and possiflora edulis seed oil.
Its exclusive applicator envelops the lips in full color and allows for a precise and uniform application.
Lightweight and non-sticky, this lip tint offers a new and luminous shine while the tint effect enhances the natural beauty of the lips—making it the perfect combination for youthful looking lips."
Love the chrome packaging with matching tint colour on the YSL logo. Pretty and sleek. The shape of the applicator is unique and rather cute as it's shaped like lips, but is also practical as its angle and curves make application easy and precise.
Swatches, Pigmentation & Wear
Below are swatches applied on my medium, olive (~NC30) skin. All photographed indoors under artificial lighting and using a strobe. The oil first applies almost without any colour, but after a minute or so, the tint becomes more apparent. As can be expected with an oil-based product that is thin in texture and lightweight - unlike the thicker, more tacky versions of lip glosses - much of the the oil is short-lived on the lips and will pretty much come off after drinks or eating a meal. But, it does still wear down to almost like a balm texture and keeps lips feeling hydrated the rest of the time. However, what impressed and sold me in the end was the pretty stain it left behind and that stain lasts and lasts! So you can enjoy a more lively pair of lips throughout the day right from the very first application, and reapply the product as needed for added glossy (or oily?), shiny finish, or just for hydration - much like you would with a lip balm.
On My Lips
My lips are naturally, cool-toned with dark pigmentation especially on the upper lip, but the tint and stain left behind definitely shows up and makes my lips brighter and a little more even-toned. :)

Verdict
I'm enjoying this new and innovative formula. I'm sure any makeup lover would find this a refreshing and exciting new addition to their lip collection - and a luxurious one at that being YSL, of course. ;) But, I suspect similar formulas will be released by more brands over the coming months - both high-end and more affordable brands.
Availability
Available now at YSL beauty counters in select David Jones and Myer stores. These are newly added to YSL's permanent makeup range I believe.
Hope this was helpful. :)
Thanks for looking! ^_^ xo
Have you tried this new range? Which colour did you pick? Would love to hear your thoughts.
