today i want to show the other colour of Yves Saint Laurent's Vernis à Lèvres that i bought: #8 Orange de Chine. i have just talked about the Glossy Stains in general a few days before, please read my previous post for detailed information (here). in short, they are lip glosses with intense pigmentation plus a lip staining effect - and phenomenal staying power.
they contain 6ml and retail for about 30€.
the packaging is nice and functional, the applicator very precise and easy to use.
Orange de Chine is a very bright, intense orange with a coral tinge. it contains a subtle pink and pale gold shimmer which isn't really visible once applied.
swatched, both the gloss and the stain it leaves behind are quite orange, but on my lips its red tinge is more intense making it more wearable than i thought it would be. it's a very true vermillion when layered.
i imagined it to be more pantone-tangerine-tango-ish - i'm glad it isn't. i feel like everything is in this colour at the moment. it's like a BB-cream-hype. *rant modus off*
if i only dab it onto the lips sheerly with my fingers, Orange de Chine creates a soft peachy/coral stain which is easier to sport in daytime.
when i was doing a hardcore-staying-power-test it lasted 9 hours + (!) on me, without any touch-ups. of course it wasn't as bright as when i just applied it, but my lips were still a bit shiny and had remarkable colour although i followed my regular eating/drinking habits. normally i would wear the lip colour for about 6 hours before i reapply to refresh its impact and keep a neat look.
i really love my bright lip colours to stay on so fool-proof, these are an immense step up from the thicker, creamier long wearing lip colours from before (i mean these) and i much prefer them. i think the YSL Vernis à Lèvres are my favourite lip products of this year. even though i don't wear super bright lips so often - these work so amazingly well that i am really stunned.
one swipe of product with the built-in applicator - stain effect left behind when the gloss is swiped off
just so you know - Blogger seems to wash out the colours after i uploaded the photos, in real they are even a bit brighter than that!
i shot the lip swatches both on my super old compact camera and my not too old DSLR, the colouring seems a lot warmer in the compact cam but i still want to show you both versions - you decide.
1. bare lips
compact cam
DSLR
2. very thin first layer dabbed on with the fingers for a light stain effect
compact cam
DSLR
3. second layer for full impact colour
4. 4 hours later
5. 7 hours after application
DSLR - with flash
i fixed the foundation around my lips but not the colour itself.

bare lips - as a soft stain
full application - after 4 hours
Echt tolle Farbe. Eines dieser Glossy Stains wird auf jeden Fall auch bei mir einziehen (früher oder später) <3
ReplyDeleteoh ja, es MUSS! ;) wirklich ganz toll diese dinger. endlich sorgenfrei tiefdunkel.
DeleteI love the colour but the stain this colour leaves on me looks really horrible! like orange-tomato-death :/
ReplyDeletei think the stain is so transparent that it really depends on your natural colour of lip-pigmentation. have you just tested it on or did you buy it? or else you could try #7, it's much more neutral coral and less orange.
DeleteI bought it. my lip pigemntation is light - medium (most of the time light though). I love how it looks on you actually. I got #12, #7 and #17 and those look good. but I really hate the smell, also I find them very difficult to apply but once they set, they look great (I also moisturize my lips with my BB eye cream and I have no problems with dry lips, etc). I think #8 just doesn't suit my skintone as well (N10 natural-olive leaning).
Deletei guess the stain is just true to colour on your paler lips, it's actually a true (yellow based) orange stain, right?
Deletei have no problems with the application at all, i usually dab on some of it onto my lips and smooth it out with my finger for a first layer and after letting it set, i would apply a second layer with the applicator.
i doo agree that the smell needs to get used to or a lot of affection for the product to bear.
i really want to get #7 & maybe #12, too. how do you like them?
I really like thise colours on my lips. I have to say, #7 is a bit sheer for my taste (it looks beautiful but once the gloss wears off and the stain remains it's visible but you could use any other lipstick to achieve this, also I don't know how this one works with darker skintones, it is very light and sheer imo). I think you will have more fun with #12. it's a very nice rose red and visible all day long, it tints the lips beautifully and I like how it looks after 2 layeres (I feel like it brightens my face/complexion a bit). I do think that #7 is very dupable and almost every coral gloss will have the same effect (of course, texture is different, etc). I don't like to have that many dupes (or dupes at all) :P
DeleteDie Farbe steht dir sehr gut! :)
ReplyDeleteIch werde mir auch auf jeden Fall einen kaufen, konnte mich bisher nur noch nicht für eine Nuance entscheiden... ;)
I can't believe! It lasts only for two hours on my lips..I still love it though and want more colors :)I'm using no. 7 now, the shop assistant chose it for me and I think it's perfect for day-time wearing but this one looks gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteoh really? and i thought they would last well on most of us, if not as long as on me, at least more than 2 hours. that's a pity for you! do you apply it onto bare lips (no balm underneath)? at least you like the colour! #7 is also on my wishlist.
Deleteno, I don't use any lip balm underneath but the shop assistant used touche eclat before applying on my lips so I might give it a go..the same is happening with benetint, after 1-2 hours is gone completely..maybe there is something wrong with my lips :))
Deletei think the touche eclat shortens the lasting time quite a lot if you had it as a base! i haven't tried benetint though, but since it's a liquid stain i guess it would have a good staying power - maybe it's just your individual skin-reaction.
DeleteEine wunderbare Farbe! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful comprehensive post. I have one of these no 17 and while I find the formula remarkable I find it difficult to apply as it is lighter than my natural lip colour. I have to carefully apply in layers onto moisturised lips and not rub my lips together. But I don't think I would have these problems with the darker colours.
ReplyDeletesomehow i already felt that this might become a problem with the paler shades of the range. i skipped them because they looked quite light compared to my natural lip colour and i was afraid that it would be trickier to get them evenly applied.
DeleteThis is really lovely on you! I tried this one out, and it seemed too orange on me - but I do love it on you.
ReplyDeletethank you! i think this shade looks rather orange on paler lips and pink based complexions.
Deletethis is a shade that either looks wearable on you or quite extreme - and if the case is the latter, you have to really like it to sport such a colour. there are many other, more universally flattering shades in the range though - somehow i wanted to try the extremes with these (quite cool-toned pink and very warm orange).
Danke für den Tipp, hab mir nach deinem ersten Post gleich einen gekauft (#5) und dazu noch die Probepackung mit den 3 Farben.
ReplyDeleteWirst du dir auch noch weitere Farben holen? Wenn ja welche?
das klingt ja nach erfolgreichem anfixen ;)
Deleteich hoffe du magst ihn! ich wusste gar nicht, dass es eine testkarte gibt, welche töne sind denn enthalten?
auf jeden fall möchte ich mir noch weitere töne holen, und zwar: #7, #9, #11, #14. (hab sie unten schon in meiner ellenlangen wunschliste aufgeführt :P)
Haha, du bist aber auch meine schlimmste Anfixerin... Mein armes Konto fürchtet sich schon sehr, jetzt wo du (zum Glück) wieder bloggst ;)
DeleteSchau unbedingt bei Douglas vorbei und frag am YSL Stand nach der Probekarte, da sind nämlich genau die #7, #9 und #11 drauf mit einem Applikator.
Ich werde mir auch sicher noch die #7 holen (oder vll. doch die #12, sind ja sehr ähnlich). Und noch einen der knallroten :)
Freu mich schon auf deine Reviews :)
hehe ich hab ja schon vorgewarnt, als ich mit dem haul zurückkam! Leser haften für ihre Konten! das sollte ich vielleicht sogar in den Disclaimer tun ;P
Deletealso die probekarte klingt ja perfekt für mich! werde auf jeden fall losstiefeln und sie mir holen - eigentlich einzig nur um die alle 3 farben jetzt schon ausführen zu können, denn kaufen werde ich sie mir sowieso, nur ein wenig später. muss zur zeit sparen für chikuhodo-pinsel.
auf jeden fall danke für den Tipp!
Gute Idee mit dem Disclaimer :)
DeleteIch würde am liebsten alle Farben mal ausprobieren, kann mich so schlecht entscheiden welcher als nächster her soll :)
Hätte noch gerne einen schönen Alltagstauglichen, die #7 ist schön aber auch schon zuuu unspektakulär, find ich.
Bin auf jeden Fall auf deine Meinung schon gespannt :)
Was kosten den die guten Chikuhodo Pinsel?
mir wurde an dieser stelle gesagt, die #12 sei eine bessere alternative, wenn die #7 zu unspektakulär ist. werde ich mir auch nochmal genauer unter die lupe nehmen...
Deleteach ja, die chikuhodos. liegen preislich bei SUQQU und für die 5 stück, die ich momentan anpeile, müssen schon 500-600€ her ;)
Gegen die #12 sprich nur, dass der wiederum extrem ähnlich aussieht wie die #5, die ich ja schon habe (zumindest bei den lip swatches von karlasugar)...
Delete(mein Gott, man stelle sich bloß mal vor, wie produktiv wir alle wären, wenn wir nich ständig Lippenfarben auf Webpages vergleichen würden ;) )
Übrigens, falls die chikuhodos dann super gut sind, dann poste hier ja nichts, sonst werde ich wieder in Versuchung geführt. Spare schon die ganze Zeit auf den SUQQU L, den du so gern verwedest...
:)
It's gorgeous on you. Surprisingly totally wearable. Ill have to checck it out, been looking for a wearable orange.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised with its staying power, I thought it was only a publicity thing when they were saying it stays on. It looks fantastic on you!
ReplyDeletethank you!
Deletei was surprised, too, when i looked in the mirror many hours after application, that's when i was completely won over :)
I like the soft stain on you, looks very natural. I swatched this the other day and actually quite liked the orangeness of it. A bit disappointed that it shows up more as a red :/
ReplyDeletethank you.
Deletehow intense is you natural lip pigmentation? if you have rather pale lips, the colour will read more orange on you than on mine.
Wow, this color looks amazing on you--both as a light stain and a bold lip! I haven't tried this particular color yet, but I think it'll fit right in with all the other orangey-coral lip glosses/lipsticks that are coming out for summer!
ReplyDeletethanks! i think this is a colour you can safely pack into your 2012-summer-wardrobe. a bit brighter and more yellow based than an orange i would wear anytime else, but this season makes me wanna be a bit bold, so it's absolutely appropriate ;)
Deletea very daring and gorgeous color. it suits you perfectly :) and I can see that this lip stain is very long lasting.
ReplyDeleteHey! I just found your blog and I think it's pretty amazing, well structured and with a lot of inspiring posts:)
ReplyDeleteIf you want we can follow each other, I would be very glad to have you as my new friend!:X
Hi Laura! thank you! i just clicked through your blog and i really really like it! you have great taste and are such a pleasure to look at - i followed you right away haha :)
DeleteThe color looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask you something off-topic? I saw that you repurchased the Paula's Choice RESIST serum. I take it that it performed better than the others you were meaning to try?
Thank you!
thank you Lulu!
Deletethe Paula's Choice serums are a long story, but in short: i really really like it, it's my workhorse-serum, so i always want to keep it around. it heals the skin super fast, i even put it onto zits and pimples at night and by the morning the inflammation is almost gone.
for a more detailed review, just check the Paula's Choice or Skincare label on the sidebar.
This looks gorgeous on you. I've been mulling getting this but couldn't make up my mind since I can't swatch it here. But I think you've sold me :-D. Thanks for a great post.
ReplyDeleteOooooooh! You know me, I love an orange based red.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful on you. Thank you for posting your review on this color, I wondered if it would be too bright based on online product pictures but it looks very wearable. I love it! I purchased the glossy stain in #12 and I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeletegreat review!
