ROUGE COCO Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour

Recently I found an old tube of a favorite chanel lipstick. I swatched it on my hand and then swatched several other high-end lipsticks next to it in an effort to find a close color match. When I was finished, I used makeup remover to clean all the swatches off my hand and to my amazement all of the other lipsticks were completely removed, yet the chanel lipstick left a visible stain on my hand. This to me is the power of chanel lipsticks. They not only color your lips, but they also stain your lips resulting in long wear and even fading (as opposed to the lipsticks that leave a ring of color around your lip line as they fade). These particular lipsticks are wonderful. They are luminous, light weight and last for hours. I am a MAC NW20 for reference. Maggy is a plum color and Ettienne is a wine color.

Chanel's Rouge Coco Antoinette lip color is an almost identical shade to another lipstick in my collection: Dior's 'Belle de Nuit' - which is a touch less costly than Chanel's but on the flip side - not anywhere near as hydrating as it. I love the fact that this is such a light creamy lipstick which doesn't tug and isn't drying, goes on smooth and lasts 4-5 hours on me, before requiring a touch-up. It's actually mildly hydrating if anything (due to the 3 plant oils/waxes in here). Yes there is a very fine touch of subtle gold shimmer here which I wasn't aware of before purchasing/didn't notice in the online images, but I really don't mind as it isn't dramatic or obvious. The lipstick shade itself is a gorgeous rusty copper red which I usually wear around fall. Using a lip scrub is a good idea before applying this one, and I usually do, but I've not had to use a lip balm so far, as I tend to do before applying a matte lipstick. A splurge for me yes but definitely worth it! -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (thought it might be useful to share my 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

I bought the new RC formulation in Edith which on my naturally rosey lips is a "my lips but better" shade. I've always liked the color range of the Rouge Coco lipsticks but never found them particularly moisturizing. This new formulation; however, has remedied that. Although Edith does not begin to approach the creaminess of Guerlain's Rouge G or Clé de Peau's Extra Silky, it is definitely smoother than the old RC formula and it does moisturize the lips which makes them temporarily plumper and smoother. As for the new color lineup of colors, RC comes in beautiful shades in all the basic color groups so there is sure to be something for everyone. All considered, the new RC is a welcome addition to the Chanel lipstick collection. Now that I have experienced Edith, I'll be back for some more new shades.

I'm happy this shade is permanent...for now. This is the perfect red for those unable to commit to the traditional blue based red as this shade has a coral/orange undertone to it without being super loud and gaudy. I can get away with wearing this with just mascara and still look polished and professional. Absolutely love this shade and formula....which by the way feels lighter than your typical lipstick formula and fades evenly as well. Definitely do not pass this shade up if looking for a red lippie or even those who are hardcore collectors of the shade.

This lipstick is gorgeous!! I'm a fair skinned redhead and finding a good nude lipstick has been difficult for me. I used the Chanel beige lip liner with the rouge lipstick in Adrienne and I'm obsessed! The formula is creamy and comfortable to wear as well. My new favorite lipstick!!

Lovely soft pink. A little color that looks natural and brightens my face. Very comfortable, moisturizing and long lasting.

I waffled over trying this lipstick, since I doubted it's worth the price tag. But I use several other Chanel beauty products and love them, so I figured my hesitation didn't make sense. So glad I tried this. The colors are saturated without being too extreme for me (I'm a "natural but better" lipstick person), and they seem to last surprisingly well. My lips never feel dried out, so I don't have to apply a balm over top - which of course makes the color last longer, too. For reference, I'm blond/blue, Chanel foundation B20 with neutral undertones, and I bought the Suzanne and Mademoiselle. The former is a brown-peach evening shade for me, while the Mademoiselle is the perfect brown-peach daytime shade. The Mademoiselle is basically what I wish the Charlotte Tillbury Pillowtalk were like - and without all the drying effects. I'll probably try other colors for when I want red/coral/pink shades. Definitely recommended.

Have been very pleased with this purchase. The lipstick is comfortable to wear and is not drying even though it appears more matte (i.e., not shiny or glossy) on the lips. I get several hours of wear and find the coverage, at least with this color, to be buildable. I have not had any issues with it smearing, even without a lipliner. In terms of the color, I am a NW15 and find this is a lovely deep pink with warmish undertones (i.e., not a blue pulling fuschia) which works well for me and warms up my complexion without being too bright or dark. Definitely recommend.

I love this lipstick so much! It’s hydrating, long lasting, and it’s a unique shade, perfect for fall and winter! I’m so glad I made this purchase with Claudia from Chanel. ❤️

I was so happy to pick up #440 Arthur on Valentine's Day! It's my new favorite red lipstick! It's a very flattering color and super moisturizing. I drink constantly throughout the day (coffee, water, etc), so lip glosses don't last on my lips and prefer lipsticks. This lipstick has staying power and feels very nice and moisturizing. Love it!

I had given up on lipsticks...they did not stay on my lips and would melt into the lines around my mouth. But you get what you pay for. My mom used to always use Chanel lipsticks and now I know why. I bought three of these in different colors, Coco, Romy and Dimitri. The coverage is great and I don't have to use much color for my lips to be completely saturated. I know these lipsticks will last me probably a year! I put my lipstick on in the morning and it stays on until I wipe it off at lunch time. It even stays on when I drink water from my hydroflask during the day. I will never buy cheap lipstick again! You will love this Chanel lipstick! Definitely worth the price!

I was surprised to find how hydrating these were and how it still had nice color pay off that you can layer on. So many beautiful colors, many nudes, corals, pinks, berries, and reds to choose from. If you can test it at a store, I highly recommend you to test it also on your lips. Some SA are nice to cleanse them for you, otherwise just ask them. If you can't swatch them, I would go for more pigmented color just so you can tone it down by using stain/gradation technique. Otherwise go for shade you usually get so it doesn't just sit in your vanity drawer. 440 and 416 looked different on my arm, but showed same color on my lips, odd, but both beautiful reddish coral color. I lover Roussy, just perfect not too pink color once applied. Adrienne was a nice beige warm nude color. I usually buy CHANEL lipstick as a small surprise no occasion gifts for others since,,,it's not everyday a girl gets CHANEL lipstick, right? I have some swatches of few shades on my flawlessskinday blog if you want to see how it looks.
