The **Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) LOVESHINE Plumping Lip Oil Gloss in shade 01 Thunder Stealer is a high-end hybrid of lip oil and gloss that combines striking shine with cosmetic plumping and lip-care benefits. According to the official product description, it delivers “8 hours of plumping hydration” and a “long-lasting glassy shine”
Shade 01, “Thunder Stealer,” occupies the first position among the ten-shade LOVESHINE plumping gloss range. Reviewers describe it as a sheer icy-lavender shimmer finish with fine golden particles. For example:
“Color: 1 Thunder Stealer is a stunning lilac with gold shimmer.”
On the lips this translates into a translucent, cool-toned lavender veil with glass-like shine rather than heavy opaque colour. Because the pigment is light, the underlying lip tone will influence the final look.
Oil-Infused Formula (≈95% oils): The gloss boasts a 95 % oil-infused base, designed to moisturise and create that watery-high gloss finish.
Plumping Support – Hyaluronic Acid + Ginger & Pepper Oils:
The formula incorporates hyaluronic acid, intended to help lips look smoother and hydrated.
Stimulating oils (ginger and pepper) provide a mild warming/tingle sensation which is credited with creating a “puffier” appearance.
Treat-and-Wear Hybrid: The product functions as both a treatment (with conditioning oils, fig-pulp extract from YSL’s Ourika Community Gardens) and a high-shine finishing gloss.
High-Shine, Non-Sticky Finish: YSL emphasizes the “most intense level of shine” in the LOVESHINE line, with a non-sticky feel.
Instantly delivers a glass-like shine to lips.
Visibly plumper and bouncier-looking lips thanks to the plumping complex.
Smoothes and hydrates lips by delivering moisture and oil care (up to 24 h hydration claimed).
Lightweight oil-gloss texture that allows for layering or solo wear.
Elegant couture style tube with a plush, oversize wand for comfortable application.
Apply one coat for a subtle, sheer wash of icy lavender shimmer (especially effective if you already have naturally pink lips). For more impact, layer 2–3 coats to heighten gloss and hint of tint.
Because it’s an oil-gloss hybrid, slightly raise the corners of your lips to prevent the gloss from migrating or pooling in fine lines.
The wand is described as “jumbo, plush” for a cushion-soft feel—start at the centre of the lips and glide toward the corners.
If you already wear a lip liner or lip colour underneath, you can apply this gloss as the final top coat for added shine and plump-look enhancement.
Because of the lavender/gold shimmer and cool undertone of 01 Thunder Stealer, it pairs especially well with pale to medium skin tones where a subtle “frosted” effect is desired—or use over a warmer lipstick to create contrast.
The plumping effect comes with a tingling/we-warm sensation:
“the tingling sensation is very strong… like you rub a very hot chilli on your lip.
If your lips are sensitive, you might wish to patch-test first.
Because of the oil base, expect some transfer and that the gloss finish may diminish after a drink or meal—though the hydrating and plumping benefits remain.
The translucent shade means that this gloss may appear different depending on natural lip colour and will not offer full opacity.
If you prefer strictly “lip treatment” feel without plumping tingle, this may feel more cosmetic/treatment hybrid than a pure balm.
In short, the YSL LOVESHINE Plumping Lip Oil Gloss in 01 Thunder Stealer brings together high-fashion shine with lip-care ingredients. It offers a sheer icy-lavender shimmer finish, a conditioning oil-based texture and a visible “plumped” look thanks to its hyaluronic acid and spicy oil blend. If you’re after a luxe gloss that looks elegant, gives a full-lip effect, and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky, this is a strong contender—just be aware of the tingle and the finish’s wear characteristics.
