When I first wrote about the lipstick/balm trend back in February I just knew that I had to try Dior Addict and YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Lipstciks/Lip Balms.

You can find my review and swatches of Dior Addict here and today I will tell you my opinion about the YSL.

First of all I have to say that I really love the design. To tell the truth, I used to dislike the golden design  of YSL or D&G but now, although I already like it,  I have to say that I love this silver design much more.

Volupte Sheer Candy has a classic YSL lipstick design which looks chic  and feels heavy. I personally like it.

The second thing that you notice is the delicious mango scent.  I can also say that it tastes nice, it is sweet and light, but don’t ask me how do I know that

As you can see I have three shades and they are:

• 02 Dewy Papaya, sheer fresh peach
• 04 Succulent Pomegranate, sheer bright pink with red undertones
• 06 Luscious Cherry, sheer cherry red with golden shimmer

So what about the application? I find that these lip balms go on smoothly and I personally find them really moisturising and hydrating. They are not gloopy or waxy in any way. I already see you wondering 

Father’s Day is just around the corner but what is even more important to me; it’s my  Father’s birthday tomorrow.

Both events inspired me to write this post. This is not really a Father’s Day gift guide as almost all the on-line shops have one, this is just a post about favourite grooming products of my men. By my men I mean my father, boyfriend and my younger brother.

So a must have for my Dad is Vichy Capital Soleil Homme Body Spray with SPF30.

It is his second bottle actually. My Dad is not really a sun protection fan, he just has sun allergy so he must use a sun protection. I have big doubts he would bother if allergy was not the case. He tried a lot of sun protection products from Bioderma to La Roche-Posay and he says that this one is his favourite because it’s clear and not sticky so that he can use it on the go. Plus it’s a spray so it’s very easy to use.

Who knows, maybe you can convince your man to use a sun protection with a help of this product.

My boyfriend loves his L’Oreal Professionnel shampoos.

He says that out of all the shampoo he’s ever tried these are the best.

There is a small but important detail that I should mention

Remember my post about the blue lip glosses? So today I want to tell you about one of them – the blue Gloss Pur in #11 by YSL which is from their summer 2011 makeup collection.

I like Yves Saint Laurent glosses and already reviewed one of my Golden Glosses which you can see here.

But let’s go back to this blue baby. So what is so special about it?

The fact that it is blue! Now obviously, it doesn’t look blue on your lips but the fact that it is blue in tube makes it so special. It reminds me of the Dior gloss from the spring collection which looked grey/silver in the tube but nothing like that on the lips.

But you know what you are using and that makes it special. I have so many glosses and this one is definitely one of those that stand out when I go through my collection, it catches the eye immediately.

On the lips it

Here is a quick update on what I am wearing on my face today. Most of the products are  from the YSL summer 2011 makeup collection which I really like. I have to say that I’ve been impressed with the latest YSL collections (and I know that I am not alone), Lloyd Simmonds did a great job!

The duo eye shadow in 35 Caramel Tan, Creme de Blush in N° 4 Audacious Orange and Volupte Sheer Candy in  2 Dewy Papaya. I have to say that  I really like everything especially the blush. Will post detailed reviews and swatches later so stay tuned.

And on my nails I am wearing

When I got a link from the lovely Teddy from Planete Beaute to the new YSL Fall 2011 makeup collection I instantly fell in love with the promo images, they are so gorgeous!  I think Lloyd Simmonds did a great job with the colours, simply stunning.

There are a lot of different shades of blue, purple and green…beautiful.

The palette from the collection is called   Jardin de Minuit. My favourite shade is the purple on the left but I also like the mint green in the middle.

Two gorgeous nail polishes in #43 Wintergeen  and  #44 Moonlight Blue.

As for the lipsticks, there will be six new shades of
