So I thought I would do a little review on my higher end lipstick. I know that when I am trying to decide what brand or shade to purchase I always search the internet for swatches, reviews and You Tube videos. So hopefully this post will be useful to anyone who is looking at these particular lipsticks or just feels like treating themselves! I will also include links to more in depth reviews so you don't have to search too far into the world wide web.
I'll start with the first higher end lipstick I ever purchased which is YSL's Rouge Volupte in shade 9. I had been saving up my Boots points for so long just so I could treat myself. My reason behind purchasing a YSL lippy was because I had heard so many You-Tubers and bloggers including Shanxo and Emily Canham talking about how much they love the shades and formulas that YSL create as well as how beautiful and luxurious the packaging is.. Shade 9 is the perfect summer pink, its a dusky rose pink shade with a glossy shine meaning that it doesn't particularly last on the lips but the beauty of the packaging and the actual shade surpasses this. http://www.couture-girl.co.uk/2012/11/my-first-ever-ysl-rouge-volupte.html
The next one along is 'Blush Nude' by Tom ford, my lovely boyfriend chose this for me and I actually adore it. It is the perfect pinky nude, so wearable and moisturising. I wear this a lot of I am doing a very dramatic eye look and want something a bit more neutral on the lips! http://www.temptalia.com/tom-ford-blush-nude-lip-color-review-photos-swatches/ (I always end up on this site, they do so many detailed reviews with swatches, they cover all the bases!)
Another high end brand that i really love is Dior, I own both a red '999' and a nudey brown 'Saint Germain' Both of these shades are satin formulas, meaning that the pigmentation that these provide is insane. They glide on so easily, in terms of longevity I find they sit nicely for a while but like most lipsticks as soon as you start eating the lipstick disappears, I think the matte collections longevity would be a lot better but that is the same with a lot of matte lipsticks.

The Last three are from Chanel which are probably my most favourite out of all my high end lippys. I mean isn't Chanel everyone's favourite? I own a red a nude and a pink! all the basic shades!
The nude i own is 'boy' and it is probably my most worn lipstick I wear it all the time. I often wear Mac Velvet teddy and then pop this in the centre of my lips! http://(http://www.thesundaygirl.com/2014/06/chanel-rouge-coco-shine-lipstick-in-boy.html)
I also own a classic red )'Gabrielle' which is a red lipstick with blue undertones so is perfect for fair skinned girls! I love how true red this shade is and it is definitely my most worn red lipstick! http://(http://www.temptalia.com/chanel-rouge-coco-lipstick-gabrielle-rouge-orage-ballet-russe/)
As well as a dusky pinky mauve in the shade 'la raffinee' this is my most recent high end lipstick. I had wanted to try out the velvet matte collection for a while and knew that I wanted a dusky rose shade for spring summer. This colour is perfect and I love the formula, its a Velvet matte so goes on like a satin lipstick but is long-lasting and stay on like a matte lipstick! Definitely going to be looking at getting some more from this formula. (http://www.cosmetopiadigest.com/2014/02/chanel-rouge-allure-velvet-la-raffinee-34-lipstick-review-swatches-photos.html
