The **YSL LOVESHINE Plumping Lip Oil Gloss in shade 03 Mellow Mallow is a luxe hybrid of lip oil and high-shine gloss designed to combine cosmetic impact with lip-care benefits. According to the official product description, it offers 8 hours of plumping hydration and a glassy, wet-lip finish thanks to its oil-infused formula.
Shade number: 03, named “Mellow Mallow”.
Because the finish is glossy and translucent rather than opaque, the final look will depend on your natural lip tone—expect a sheer gloss with a hint of rose-pink rather than heavy pigment.
Oil-Infused Base (≈95% oils): The formula leans heavily on oils, creating a lip-oil-gloss hybrid texture with silky, cushiony feel.
Contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate and smooth lips.
Also includes stimulating ginger oil and pepper oil to enhance the appearance of fullness through a mild tingling/”warm” sensation.
High-Shine Finish: Advertised as delivering up to 8 hours of glassy shine and up to 24 hours of hydration in some markets.
Plush, Oversized Applicator: A designed “jumbo plush wand” to apply the gloss smoothly over lips.
Non-Sticky Feel: The brand emphasizes a “smackable, non-sticky” finish despite the high shine.
Instantly boosts gloss and shine to lips, giving a “wet-lip” effect.
Visibly fuller-looking lips through the plumping complex.
Feels comfortable and lightweight enough for solo wear or layering over a lipstick.
The sheer rose-pink tint of Mellow Mallow provides a versatile, wearable colour for many occasions—day or evening.
Premium packaging and finish align with the luxury feel of the brand.
Because the gloss has a strong shine and oil-rich base, it’s best to start with smooth, exfoliated lips to avoid product pooling in lip lines.
Use one coat of Mellow Mallow for a natural, glossy wash of rose-pink; apply a second coat for more intensity and shine.
The oversized wand covers lips quickly—start at the centre of the upper lip and glide outward, then repeat on the lower lip.
For extra definition, you can apply a neutral lip liner first or use Mellow Mallow as the final top-coat over another lip colour.
The plumping effect comes with a tingling/warming sensation: some users describe it as quite noticeable. > “the tingling sensation is very strong… like you rub a very hot chilli on your lip.”
If your lips are sensitive, patch-test first.
Because the finish is a high-shine oil gloss, wear time may be shorter than a matte or long-wear lipstick—expect to reapply after eating or drinking.
The sheer nature of the tint means natural lip colour will influence how Mellow Mallow appears: on deeper lips the rose may mellow further.
The plumping/warm effect may not suit everyone—if you dislike tingling or “warming” lip products, this might feel aggressive.
Make-up purists who prefer matte or non-shiny lips might find the high-gloss finish too reflective.
Some users have reported stronger smell or sensation than expected. > “i was so tempted … but the smell turned me off.”
In summary, the YSL LOVESHINE Plumping Lip Oil Gloss in 03 Mellow Mallow is a luxurious gloss option for someone seeking a glossy, luminous finish with a hint of rose-pink and visible lip-care benefits. Its oil-rich formula gives shine, treatment and dimension, while the plumping complex adds a full-lip look. If you like your lips glossy, comfortable, slightly plumped, and tinted in a warm rose-pink shade, this is a strong choice—just keep in mind the tingling effect, high-shine finish, and the sheer colour payoff.
