YSL Beauty Rouge Volupté Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick in Cacao No Boundary

For a nourished, high-shine lip, reach for this gloss-meets-balm hybrid. We love the shade Cacao No Boundary, a glossy, warm-toned brown that looks as luxurious as it feels. With a blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and cold-pressed mango oils, it’s ultra-hydrating and lush.

This whipped, matte lip cream has a plush, non-drying texture that lasts throughout the day without cracking or drying out your lips. The shade Teddy Fluff is a warm, rosy brown that would look gorgeous on top of a darker lip pencil.
