The Yves Saint Laurent Volupté Tint-in-Balms ($34 US/42 CAD) are a luxurious nourishing tinted balm with an absolutely delicious pomegranate scent.
The packaging is pure luxury. Just what you would expect from a YSL Volupté lip product.
The hybrid formula features a lip shape core that runs the entire length of the bullet that is a condition balm formulation featuring apricot butter and jojoba oil. The outer core of the Tint-in-Balm provides the glossy tint for juicy looking lips with a sheer veil of vivid colour. The formula is incredibly lightweight with more of a wet feel than a balmy one. They feel heavenly. They have a fairly short wear time, as one would expect, but I find they do leave a bit of a stain behind.
There are 12 shades available. The colour payoff is quite sheer though so if you want to pick up more than one shade I recommend getting strongly differentiating shades like a more coral toned shade and then a pink toned shade for instance. I have the shades I have are a hot pink, berry, and a plum but come across fairly similarly on the lips.
