Chanel Rouge Coco Shine

Rouge Coco Shine is Chanel's new lipstick collection. Coco Shine lipsticks are sheer, hydrating and give shine. They were already available here at the counters (at least at Sephora) before April but I didn't buy any of them because I refuse paying for Chanel in retail price (they're approximately US$50/each here!).



Boy, Aventure, Liberte

I picked up 3 colours - the infamous Boy, Aventure and Liberte from the duty-free shop in Brussels Airport last week (they're 23,60EUR each). When I first swatched Boy, I knew I must get it. It's a beautiful sheer light mauve pink.

Aventure is a cute shimmering strawberry pink for me. It's my most favourite among them all. I can't resist pink lipsticks. I'm thinking of getting Evasion next :)

I love coral/peachy tone lipsticks for summer. I was glad to find Liberte, a peachy coral tone with shimmers. I already see myself wearing this a lot in the summer.



They feel like tinted lipbalm on the lips. I find them very moisturising and don't dry up my lips. Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks also have rose fragrance (not really a fan of it). Since they're sheer, I don't expect them to be long-lasting.

Overall, they're great, no doubt I'll re-purchase.

Chanel Lipsticks

I used to be a lipglosses only type of person. About two years ago, I started falling in love with lipsticks. I'm quite particular with the brands I go for because I can't stand some of the scented lipsticks! The smell is just too much for me.

My favourite ones are from MAC (need I say more?), Benefit, Rimmel and NYX. I've never tried any lipsticks from high-end designer brands before. When the department store nearby was having 50% off some selected Chanel cosmetics, I was thinking, why not?



I picked up Rouge Allure Adorable and Rouge Hydrabase Rose Rebelle. Believe it or not, Rouge Allure is US$51 and Rouge Hydrabase is US$49 here, outrageous price for a lippie! Anyway, I shouldn't be complaining too much because I got them at pretty decent prices :) One thing for sure that I'll never pay retail prices for Chanel lipsticks here.

Rouge Allure - Adorable
My first Chanel cosmetic ever! It's from the Rouge Allure Collection in 2009. Just like the name says, Adorable is adorable! It's a gorgeous soft pink - my type of colour.



Rouge Hydrabase - Rose Rebelle
After trying Adorable and how much I like it. I decided to stop by the department store to see if there's anything else I could grab when the sale was still on. I found Rose Rebelle and fell in love with the beautiful mid-tone rosy pink colour. I didn't have a similar colour like this one so I brought it home :) It was part of Chanel Spring 2009 collection.



Rouge Coco - Jersey Rose
I picked this one up from the duty-free shop in the airport on Tuesday. I paid US$31 for this one, I guess that's the normal price you lucky ladies in the US? I absolutely love the pink, slightly peachy tone. It's light and perfect for spring - I'll definitely wear this colour in the summer too.



It's weird to say I can't wait for my next business trip so that I get to buy more cheaper cosmetics. I'm pretty sure my wallet won't be very happy about it :)
