Review: YSL Golden Gloss #4 – Glossy Shiny Goodness!

August 21, 2009 Paris B 6 Comments

At the last YSL sale I went to, I picked up the YSL Golden Gloss #4. It was impetuous but I’m happy with my purchase.

YSL Golden Gloss

The gloss comes in a square tube – good to prevent it rolling around I guess. Its also quite a small tube in length compared to many other glosses. However, size does not matter, its how it performs … or have you heard that one already? 😛

I like that the applicator is a compact brush that does not splay. All hail brush gloss applicators! This is the reason I love the Guerlain Kiss Kiss glosses too. Brush applicators rock! Ahem…

It took me a while to choose the colour because I only wanted one so I ended up with #4 which is a cool toned rose red with lots of gold glitter. I say glitter because its coarser than shimmer but yet, it isn’t chunky glitter so it wasn’t too bad. I’ve got a swatch after the jump.

The nice thing about the YSL Golden Gloss for me, is that it is not sticky and did not dry out my lips. I hate it when glosses do that. They feel all nice and goopy but your lips turn into the Sahara under all that goop. Not the YSL Golden Gloss. The shine is good and so is the shimmer and pigmentation is second to none.

What stops me raving too much is the scent. Ah yes the inevitable signature scent in most French brands permeate this YSL gloss too. Its not horrid. But it is rather rosy and strong so be warned if you have a sensitive nose. I just hold my breath till it dissipates and I’ll tell you that red lips on a blue face is not very complimentary LOL…

But seriously, strong scent or not, it does not really bug me that much because as I said, it dissipates.

The gloss is quite long lasting for a gloss. It doesn’t disappear the minute you eat or drink but instead fades quite well. I find that the gold shimmers remain on your lips so if you like, you can actually apply a clear gloss or lip balm over your lips and still have a hint of shimmer.

A tube retails for RM79 at YSL counters but I got it for RM51. There’s a sale going on at the YSL counter at Tangs Pavilion too so you could check it out this weekend! 🙂

Pros: Nice shimmer, Good pigment, Not sticky

Cons: Strong floral scent, Pricey normally

Have a safe Ramadhan!

The fasting month starts tomorrow 22 August 2009 here in Malaysia. While I don’t observe this since I’m not Muslim, I’d like to wish all Muslim friends and readers a safe Ramadhan as I know some people may be traveling to their hometowns to be with their family for the first breaking of fast 🙂

To everyone else, I wish you a happy weekend! There are some deals going on this weekend which I’ll update tomorrow 🙂

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

      Hi YJia

      No I haven’t tried their lipgloss mainly because of the scent. But I’m sure it looks good – I’ve seen it on others and they look awesome!

Filorga is now on Shopee and you can get 18% off ( Filorga is now on Shopee and you can get 18% off (code: FILOJUL09) on top of the discounted prices! Any savings is good savings I say esp with all the price hikes everywhere 😟 Until 15 July. 
They just launched the new NCEF Night Mask, an ultra-regenerating sleeping mask that promises to rejuvenate tired skin in just 7 nights! Well That sounds right up my alley! 😮‍💨
I highly recommend the Meso Mask as well for a rejuvenating, hydrating and smoothing boost to the skin. Its a good brand, that I’ve tried in the past and I’m glad we now have it here! 😊

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
