I was hesitant to carry around my YSL 409 lipstick because it's so new and precious, so I bought this affordable alternative, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it! There are some differences, of course. The YSL feels more luxurious and mature, with a velvety texture that seems to envelop your lips. In contrast, the A'pieu lipstick has a more vibrant and cheerful vibe. The staying power is slightly less impressive, but since I'm the type who often touches up my makeup anyway, I don't find this to be a major drawback. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied!
As mentioned above, the staying power is a bit less than ideal. But honestly, I can't think of any other negatives.
