Meet 10 of My New Chanel BFFs


Usually, I don’t like change. I’m very much into routine and I like what I like. When it comes to the newly reformulated Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colours ($36), I have to say—I’m loving the change. It’s always a risk for a brand to reformulate a product (especially such an iconic one), however I’m going to go right ahead and say that they did a phenomenal job with this one.

The new range just hit Chanel counters this month. The formula is available in 29 shades (divided up into 6 colour palettes—nudes, oranges, pinks, rosewoods, reds and plums), each named after one of Mademoiselle Chanel’s friends, loved ones and muses. The lipstick has this silky melt-away texture with a glossy, radiant finish. Honestly, I’m so over mattes right now—this formula is exactly what I wanted to see.

The best way I can describe this lipstick would be to think of the most ultra-hydrating, glossy lip colour you’ve ever tried—but then pack on great pigmentation and Chanel’s iconic floral scent. The softer shades like Olga, Edith and Catherine have quite a sheer color payoff straight out of the tube, but can really be built up to a medium-full coverage color. The deeper shades like Jean, Gabrielle and Ina apply with more pigmentation so they require a little extra attention.

The formula is packed with nourishing waxes without being oily or thick—they feel super lightweight on the lips (like a veil or balm). What makes this formula so incredible is the polymer film with silicone microbeads; it fills creases and rough patches, so your lips look silky smooth and plump. I had a serious dry patch on my lips that you can bearly see in the photos!

They aren’t the most resilient lip colours ever—not entirely budge-proof and probably won’t hold up through eating or drinking, but the luxurious texture and ultra comfortable feeling makes me love them anyways.
