Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the YSL The Slim Sheer Matte in the shades 101 Rouge Libre and 106 Pure Nude.
I feel like YSL is doing an amazing job with new releases that are actually original because just like with the Sequin Crush Mono Eyeshadow these lipsticks are very different from what I’ve seen around.
You can get them from Sephora for 39$
101 Rouge Libre
106 Pure Nude
COLOUR
- 101 Rouge Libre is a vibrant cool red.
- 106 Pure Nude is a tender pinky nude.
PACKAGING
I love the packaging, is gorgeous, it’s original from that point of view because it’s actually squared. The point makes it super easy to use the point to draw the contours.
The scent is the classic mango just like all YSL lipsticks.
FORMULA
The formula is very creamy and smooth, it’s not patchy and it doesn’t settle into fine lines. It is sheer so you’ll see your lips underneath.
It is very interesting if you look at it, it’s completely matt and looks like velvet and on the lips is matt too but it’s definitely slippery like a regular lipstick. Actually, it feels like nothing.
It doesn’t tug the lips when you put it on like a regular matt lipstick would.
It’s very comfortable to wear.

106 Pure Nude
LASTING POWER
It doesn’t last as long as a matt lipstick and it’s not transfer proof, on me, it lasts around 4 hours.
RATING:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 7/10
- Packaging: 10/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Comfort: 9/10
- Scent: 8/10
GRADE: A
I really like these lipsticks, I like the effect and the colours, they feel beautiful on the lips. The packaging is amazing: beautiful and effective. When you wear them they feel like a very creamy matt lipstick, so this is for people who hate how matt lipstick feels but love the way it looks. It doesn’t last as long but you have to give up that for the comfort. The shade range gorgeous so I definitely recommend it.

Yeah, matte has this plastic effect on my lips but they look gorgeous, unlike the shiny lipsticks that I am sometimes so very full off. The lipsticks here thought don’t look as outstanding compared to other lipsticks you posted.
I really like this ?
I love the colors but I am inlove with the nude one. You can just wear it anytime. I will definitely check this online. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy! They are soooo good!
I love the Shape of this lipstick! The nude shade is the way to go for me.
It’s so pretty!
I loved the pink shade. You look very elegant in that shade too.
The is a tender pinky nude is more my style! Question… Why does lipstick look so different on different people. Its not fair life! This red color looks amazing.
Thank you! It really depends on your skintone and your undertone! x
Thank you x
love the color of the pure nude. it looks perfectly fine on you, too.
Thank you x
It looks really great! Good to know that you’d rate it an A because I’ve been considering picking some up.
You’ll love them girl x
What I like is that they are matte and velvety. It’s bad that the don’t last too long- anyway, on wouldn’t mind wearing them again if they are so comfy on the lips. You look good in the pink shade.
Thank you x
I like both of the shades! Maybe the second one is what I’d wear more often! And such a weird square shape!
It makes it so easy to use! I love it x
Hm, very interesting. This formula sounds kinda similar to the Glossier Generation G lipsticks in that they’re both sheer but matte at the same time. Those also don’t last as long as traditional matte lipsticks. The colors look beautiful!
Grrrr!! I can’t get Glossier here but I love the vibe of the line! Hopefully the UK site will start shipping here soon too
I’m sure they will be available across Europe soon. I know they get tons and tons of questions from customers asking about international shipping, so I’m sure they’re working on it!
Fingers crossed!
The Pure Nude looks so nice! I actually only own a YSL mini lipstick because of a perfume Christmas set I bought. I haven’t used it much though because it’s a very red shade which is something that I can only wear during Christmas holiday season. Quite keen to try these though since I like sheer formulas. I’m not really someone who loves matte finishes but this looks nice!
You’ll love them, they are so different from most mattes!
