YSL Rouge Pur Couture: Beige Tribute

So, last week I braved the Bank Holiday crowds to pick up a few things.  Although my main intention was to shoot out and eat cake, there was very little chance of making it back without at least something catching my eye.  Sure enough, it wasn't long before I was having the super chic YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick applied to my lips in Beige Tribute (10)..

The Rouge Pur Couture lipstick collection by YSL is inspired by Monsieur Saint Laurent's iconic colour palette; red, fuchsia and orange.  I'll admit many shades from the range caught my eye (could it be the pretty gold packaging?), but eventually found myself settling on this nude shade.  Why?  Because it's Spring, that's why.  The sky is lighter, clothing is lighter and makeup tends to be lighter too!  I adore a bold lip, but there's something undeniably chic about a nude shade that goes hand-in-hand with 'my face but better' beauty.
 

With regard to packaging, YSL steals the show every time; the luxurious gold case is ideal for whipping out of your handbag for a quick last-minute application.  I've been using YSL's Beige Tribute (10) nearly every day since purchasing and have a feeling the pattern of continuous use will continue - scroll down for pros and cons!
