Lips

Chanel launched a new lipstick formula called the Rouge Coco Bloom and I have swatches of almost all of the colors today! This is a glossy hydrating plumping lipstick with lots of shine and color. If you love the Rouge Coco Flash formula but want more coverage and pigment you will love these! They’re currently available now at Chanel.com.

There are 20 shades available in the US. I have 19 of them swatched today. I wasn’t able to get all of them lip swatched but can do in a separate part 2 post if you are interested. The formula of these lipsticks is beautiful! There is a noticeable plumping effect on my lips without the tingle. They have a creamy smooth texture that glides on the flawlessly with full coverage. They’re comfortable with a moisturizing feel. Scent-wise there is a very subtle almost skincare-like scent to them, it’s not noticeable to me unless I put the tube right on my nose and on the lips I don’t notice it at all.

Colors swatched below in numerical order by their names. They’re mostly creams with a few that have a shimmer. The only one I don’t have is 112 Opportunity (it was back ordered in the initial launch but is not available to order at Chanel.com):

110 Chance – creamy beige
114 Glow – medium brown with a hint of plum
116 Dream – soft warm pink
118 Radiant – mauve with hint of plum

_______

120 Freshness – medium plum
122 Zenith – soft coral
124 Merveille – pink coral
126 Season – hot pink
128 Magic – warm coral red

_______

130 Blossom – bright coral
132 Vivacity – coral with hint of red
134 Sunlight – orange
136 Destiny – bright bold pink
138 Vitalite – blue based pink red

_______

140 Alive – bold classic red with a subtle shimmer
142 Burst – deep bright rose pink, has a subtle shimmer
144 Unexpected – deeper red
146 Blast – plum berry
148 Surprise – deeper plum brown

_______

Some of the shades swatched on bare lips below. They’re full coverage with one-swipe and I love them! There are only a small handful of neutrals in this launch. I feel like most of the colors pull bold pink and red. My top three so far are Chance, Dream and Zenith. For skintone reference I wear Chanel B40 in the foundations, wearing:

• Foundation – Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow in B40
• Powder – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless in Medium
• Brows – Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil in 3.5
• Eyeshadow – Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Candeur Et Experience and Hourglass Scattered Light Eyeshadow in Ray
• Mascara – Chanel Le Volume de Chanel
• Blush – Chanel Fleur de Printemps
• Tee – ATM Schoolboy Tee in Tan

Bottom line love. The formula is excellent – everything I want in a lipstick! Glossy, good coverage, hydrating, not heavy, doesn’t slide off the lips and flattering.

You can find these at Chanel.com now. Have you tried these yet? What did you think?

Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom provided for review.

Chanel launched a collection of lipsticks called Rouge Allure Velvet Le Lion de Chanel ($42 each at Chanel.com). These have the classic Rouge Allure lipstick click magnetic packaging in a black and gold case with the tops embossed in a lion motif design. Luminous matte with a soft diffused look on the lips. Comfortable and weightless without feeling dry.

The formula is one of the smoothest softest mattes I’ve ever tried. Coverage is flawless and soft like velvet! Lasting power is very good and non-drying. I don’t detect a heavy scent although they are very softly fragranced with a super soft clean powder floral that I find pleasant and soothing. Color-wise they all run bold and dark on my complexion. Even the lightest color 227 pulls darker on my skin tone (Chanel B40).

There are eight shades of Rouge Allure Velvet Le Lion de Chanel available individually ($42 each) and online at Chanel.com there is a Trio Set available in a box with shades 257, 277 and 58 ($126).

227 Beige Rugissant – warm beige
237 Beige Ardent – pink brown
247 Rouge Impulsif – bright coral
257 Rouge Triomphal – bold red pink
267 Rouge Audacieux – deeper red
277 Rouge Fauve – warm red
57 Rouge Feu – bold orange
58 Rouge Vie – diffused rosewood

Lip swatches below, also wearing in each look:

• Foundation – Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation in B40 (review + swatches here)
• Powder – Chanel Les Beiges in No 20
• Blush – Chanel Blush in Alezane (swatches here)
• Eyeshadow – Natasha Denona Mini Nude Palette (review here)
• Eyeliner – Cle de Peau Intensifying Liquid Eyeliner
• Mascara – Chanel Le Volume de Chanel

Overall I think the formula is a solid A+ for all the shades. Color range is bolder and more dramatic than I am used to wearing but still classic and chic. I hope they continue making more shades in this formula because it feels so smooth and luxurious!

Rouge Allure Velvet Le Lion de Chanel Lip Colors provided for review.

Happy Monday! I have a look at the new Chanel Rouge Allure Laque ($40 each, 20 shades) today! These are Chanel’s new satin liquid lipstick with a lightweight feel and shiny finish. Coverage is natural looking with medium pigment but they can be layered for full coverage. Texture is light and smooth with a weightless almost airy feel to them. They’re comfortable on the lips with medium lasting power. These come with a beveled sponge tip applicator for an easy line and fill kind of swipe. Available now at Chanel.com.

In terms of similar coverage and feel these remind of the NARS Velvet Lip Glides (which I think are being phased out). Soft almost whipped texture, good coverage, weightless, nice satiny finish with a soft shine. Downside is they are not budge-proof and they do transfer if you touch your lips to a cup or mask (or anything else). I haven’t had a chance to give all 20 shades a full day wear test, although for the handful I have worn, I’ve been able to get very good lasting power. They have stayed fresh looking around 4-5 hours before I took them off for a snack. I do think some of the darker and bolder ones can get even better wear time, but the neutrals I tried wear very nicely on my lips.

The Chanel Rouge Allure Laques aren’t scented although there is a soft scent that is hard to describe. It’s exactly what I’d think a lip gloss would smell like – once on the lips I don’t detect the scent very much. Colors and swatches of all 20 shades below.

60 Inflexible, 61 Continuous, 62 Still, 63 Ultimate, 64 Exigence

60 Inflexible – medium shimmering beige gold
61 Continuous – medium peachy apricot
62 Still – soft beige pink
63 Ultimate – soft muted mauve rose
64 Exigence – pretty rose pink

______________

65 Imperturbable, 66 Permanent, 67 Steady, 68 Unlimited, 69 Remanence

65 Imperturbable – coral pink
66 Permanent – medium-deep rose with a hint of plum tones
67 Steady – bright coral
68 Unlimited – bold orange
69 Remanence – bold hot pink

______________

70 Immobile, 71 Mythe, 72 Iconique, 73 Invincible, 74 Experimente

70 Immobile – bright red with pink

I wasn’t able to get all 20 lip swatched but here are a few for you. I will try to have the rest of them swatched on the face/lips by the end of the week in a second part. I just got a much-needed hair cut and my stylist added toner to help blend out the remaining highlights and it looks so dark now! Also wearing:

• Foundation – Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation in BD41 (swatches here)
• Powder – Chanel Les Beiges Healthly Glow Sheer Powder in No 20
• Eyeshadows – Les 4 Ombres Palette in Tisse Vendome and Candeur Et Experience mixed
• Eyeliner – Stylo Yeux Waterproof Noir Intense
• Mascara – Le Volume Revolution de Chanel
• Blush – Joues Contraste in Alezane
• Highlighter – Poudre Lumiere in Warm Gold 20
• Top – Madewell

Bottom line, I love what I’ve tried so far. If you loved the Rouge Allure Ink I think you’ll definitely love the Rouge Allure Laque. I feel like I am the only beauty lover that did not like the Rouge Allure Inks in the neutral colors. They barely showed up on my lips and did not last long at all, although the bolder/deeper shades performed well. I think these Rouge Allure Laques are a better version of the Rouge Allure Ink with better coverage (although still medium/natural), better lasting power, and a better glossy finish.

By comparison I think the Chanel Rouge Allure Ink Fusion (reviewed here) has the best pigment/coverage and lasting power for a weightless liquid lipstick, although the colors are matte and pull darker while the Rouge Allure Laques are more glossy/translucent.

The Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue (swatches here) has the longest wear for a liquid lipstick in the Chanel line, although the concept is different with the full coverage matte base for color and glossy top coat.

If you liked the NARS Velvet Lip Glides you will also love the Chanel Rouge Allure Laques. I know some of you loved them (just like me) while others did not like it because the lasting power wasn’t long enough.

I hope you find these swatches helpful! I have more saved on my Instagram Reels @beautylookbook if you’re looking for swatches in different lighting.
