Chanel Rouge Allure Colour & Shine Lip Gloss

Chanel Rouge Allure Lip Gloss ($34 each) (sometimes called Chanel Rouge Allure Colour & Shine Lip Gloss) is the latest from the line famous for the “click click” heavy luxury packaging and its delightful, depth-filled sheer Glossimers. This new line sits somewhere in between–the packaging is pared down a bit from the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss, and opacity is amped-up from the Glossimer line. I see that the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss is no longer showing for sale on Chanel.com, so I am assuming that this line is the replacement (I’ve had no official word). These are available at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and other Chanel sources.

I tried a range–the nude Sensuel, the red Seduction, and the coral-pink Affriolant. These use the “click click” mechanism, rather than the screw-opening of the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss, and the packing feels lighter in weight. The texture of the three that I tried do not seem to have quite the complexity as some of my favorite Extrait de Glosses. These new Rouge Allure Colour and Shine Lip Glosses have a noticeable perfumed scent, which fades after several minutes.

My favorite of these was the gorgeous red Seduction.

Here is the nude Sensuel. Here, I notice that Chanel has worked its magic by formulating a perfect nude. Chanel seems to be a genius formulating colors with both warmth and coolness. I’ve seen it in their blushes for years, and now it brings this talent to Sensuel. Also, Sensuel seems to be a nude that will work for many, many skin tones. How do they keep doing it? This color can be built up to a good opacity.

Affriolant seems to bring its own version of warmth. Now that winter is taking hold, I have to say I enjoy the subdued brightness of this color. It looks beautiful with greys, forest greens, navy, and other colors that seem to be popular in winter. I suspect it will be beautiful in the summer sun as well.

Overall, I’m looking forward to wearing these, and to more releases in this line. Sometimes we need a glossy look with some opacity, and the new line of Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss well worth exploring. The colors are simple, edited, and perfect.

These are available at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and other Chanel sources.
