CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine 63 Rebelle

Hi dear lovelies! Sorry for my sporadic posts, I've been running around like a headless chicken trying to complete everyday tasks at work. Plus I caught this nasty flu, recovered from it but then its starting again! AAACK! What a ride. The weather is to be blamed. Its hot and sunny then its raining before you know it. *sigh* Anyway, I have pretty one for you today!

Its my fourth Rouge Coco Shine! Rebelle is described as a "bright coral red".

A vibrant pop of color in a juicy shade of orangey-pinkish red, it's a hit for me! :)

Sure looks intimidating judging it from the tube but its really sheer and looks more "approachable" when worn on the lips.

If you are looking for easy to wear reds you might want to try Rebelle, especially if its still summer on your part of the globe. It looks really nice and spot on with nautical inspired fashion. ;) 

If you're already a red lip diva you will find this refreshing because of the orange tone. I personally love wearing this especially when I'm too lazy to be bothered to put on a full face. It brightens up the face instantly and I fancy the melt on your mouth feeling every time I swipe it on. Its like butter on warm toast. <3

I tried my best capturing the vibrant red-orangey hue but I failed. xD

This is not a long wearing lipstick (I get 2-3 hours) but it does leave a cute "I-just-ate-a-cherry-popsicle" tint on my lips after it fades. I quite like it because its easy to wear, its not drying and it makes my lips look shiny and healthy. I don't think I'm done with the Rouge Coco Shines just yet as some enablers bloggers are making me want more! (thinking of getting a peach or coral shade next)

In other news, the über talented Yasumi of Worship at the House of Blues is having a MASSIVE and EGG-ZOITING giveaway! I love her blog, her photos are beautifully taken and her cosmetic reviews are spot on! Yasumi also designs amazing shiny fings at The Worship Blues Emporium. Follow her if you're sassy and smart!

CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine in Biarritz, Boy and Romance

The latest release from Chanel cosmetics, Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks are lightweight, sheer lip colors which melt as soon as swiped over your lips giving it a wet looking, shiny finish.

I tried all the colors which appealed to me the most, wanting to decide on which (1) shade to get. Unfortunately for my wallet, I liked Biarritz, Boy and Romance very, VERY much I couldn't just leave them there. I had to take them home! xD

42 Biarritz

54 Boy

55 Romance

Compared to Rouge Allure and Rouge Coco lipsticks, Rouge Coco Shine is housed in slimmer tubes which contain 3 grams of product. According to their website, these babies can last up to 8 hours of wear, but thats not the case with me as I only get 2-3 hours, then I need to reapply it. That makes me confident about finishing these lipsticks. I'm not sure if thats a good thing. ;)

Swatches:

42 Biarritz (coppery beige), 54 Boy (rosy pink) and 55 Romance (bright pink) - all shades have very light micro shimmer which is undetectable on the lips.

The formula for Rouge Coco Shine is buttery smooth, balm-like and very lightweight, however, even if it feels hydrating, there were times wherein my lips became dehydrated while wearing Romance. So I still recommend applying lip balm or essence underneath the Rouge Coco Shine's. Pigmentation varies from very light beiges to striking reds.

 Local price is a whopping Php1,850 (approx. USD42) and no, I did not get any gifts with purchase. In fact, I've never received any GWP from any local Chanel counter. hmm... :\

The Chanel website says there are 18 shades, but there are 25 shades available in Manila. *confused*

I posted this photo on my Facebook page and a lot of lovelies "liked" it as expected. But one high school friend commented about my successive makeup posts which made me laugh. I dont think HE knows I'm a beauty blogger. ^_~

Happy Thursday!

♡,

G
