YSL Le Orange #13 vs Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrise.

As you all know I have been on the hunt for the perfect 'coral' lipstick. A friend on TMUS suggested for me to use Girlee CosmeticsTequila Sunrise from a wig site, so I did. I got this in the mail today!

The packaging doesn't look impressive at all. It looks rather cheapo... It feels plasticy... definitely not a good start.

The colour looks so red and you can smell the 'plasticy fake' smell from the lipstick.

When applied I was shocked. The colour was very bright! It's a very bold orangey reddish colour so that = the 'coral' that I have been looking for. The pigment is strong and the colour payoff is quite good!

So it all boils down to which lipstick is better.

MISSION: TO ACHIEVE A BOLD 'CORAL' LIP

YSL vs Tequila Sunrise:

Packaging: YSL wins, Tequila Sunrise loses
Application: YSL wins (more smooth), Tequila Sunrise loses (feels like crayon...)
Pigmentation: YSL loses (more sheer), Tequila Sunrise wins (more bold)
Price: YSL loses ($50AUD), Tequila Sunrise Wins ($16AUD)

OVERALL:

Although the Tequila Sunrise feels like you are applying crayon on your lip, I still would choose that lipstick to use when I go out because essentially it's all about 'aesthetics'. However if I was going to wear a lipstick for 'everyday' use then I would choose YSL for sure! You definitely pay for quality with this one.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Le Orange #13 Review

Le Orange 13.

My order of Kourtney Kardashian's beloved YSL Rouge Pur Couture Le Orange #13 has arrived from Strawberrynet.com. Such a small item in such a big package... look at all the extra padding!

Gold Mirrored Casing... I feel expensive!

The colour looks exquisitely bright. However it looks more of a bright red then a orangey/coral colour.

The mission:

To get that eye catching reddish orangey coral lip colour.

Pros:

Packaging is beautiful.
Smooth application, moisturizes the lips.
Bright pigmentation (if applied a few times).
Staying power is amazing! (lasts all day, even after eating).

Cons:

Not exactly the 'coral' colour I was looking for. Still too reddish for my liking.
Sheer texture (not suitable if BOLD is what you are looking for).
Cost $30 (US), $50 (AUS)

Overall: 7/10

The packaging, application and colour of this lipstick is very well designed. However it dropped in rating since I would have liked the colour to be more of a 'coral' colour than red. Still think it's a quality lipstick and will use this colour on other occasions.

Will still be on the look out for the perfect coral!
