Chanel launched a brand new lipstick known as 31 Le Rouge ($195 every) impressed by their iconic deal with 31 Rue Cambon in Paris. There are 12 lipstick shades complete packaged in a shocking re-fillable glass lipstick case that mirrors the Artwork Deco staircase in Gabrielle Chanel’s house. Every lipstick additionally comes with a quilted black case to guard the glass. This is without doubt one of the most luxurious lipsticks launched thus far. Accessible now at Chanel.com.
Refills can be found at $80 every however they can’t be used with out the case (there’s a lock/twist mechanism inside the bottom which wants the lipstick case to twist up).
So a lot of you will have been asking me to evaluation these. As a long-time die onerous Chanel fan and collector I knew I needed to buy not less than one. I ended up shopping for a couple of to attempt to at this time I’m sharing all of my ideas after placing them to the take a look at. First here’s a have a look at all 12 shades.
1 Rouge Beige
2 Rouge Croisière
3 Rouge Roman
4 Rouge Flou
5 Rouge Premier
6 Rouge Imaginaire
7 Rouge Privé
8 Rouge Fétiche
9 Rouge Tailleur
10 Rouge Byzantin
11 Rouge Coromandel
12 Rouge 2.55
In order for you a better have a look at the show, case choices and extra I posted an Instagram Reel of the shop shows and setup. We now have a Chanel Magnificence boutique in Tampa so I ended by to swatch all the colours since they’re unique to Chanel.com and Chanel boutiques. In shops they’ve a boxed Coffret Set you may customise and decide a leather-based case (white, black or silver).
Listed below are my ideas on the brand new lipstick:
System is really distinctive. It’s probably the most beautiful method I’ve ever tried. It’s the perfect traditional satin lipstick method I feel that has ever been made. Texture is easy and cozy. They glide on the lips flawlessly. Pigment is opaque and wealthy. It adheres nicely to the lips. They’re softly scented with a floral scent however it’s trendy and mushy. They’ve Gardenia Oil and have fairly good lasting energy.
Packaging is gorgeous. The Chanel 31 Le Rouge circumstances are precisely what you’d anticipate from Chanel. Thick, weighted, sturdy, constructed like a murals and with a magnetized cap. The glass resembles the tremendous thick glass of tempered glass (just like the duraclear glasses you discover at Williams-Sonoma). I feel the separate pouch is gorgeous too.
The pigment can be actually stunning. They’ve a micronized pearl making them luminous on the lips, though just one has seen shimmer. The most important draw back in my view is the restricted coloration choice – they’ve one lighter impartial and eleven bolds. Whereas it is smart that they centered totally on traditional reds, I want that they had launched extra neutrals, mushy pinks even some mauves. A handful of you instructed me the lightest shade was going to be too mild for you and the second lightest choice was straight up orange.
I ended up selecting 5 shades to attempt to listed here are my ideas on every of them.
1 Rouge Beige
1 Rouge Beige is the lightest shade and it’s a pearlescent beige. I find it irresistible though it’s pale and is a little bit bit on the sheer aspect (not less than in comparison with all the opposite colours within the lineup). This shade jogs my memory of considered one of my favourite Tom Ford Lipsticks from my early days of running a blog Within the Buff and Pink Dune. It’s not as seen in pictures however in actual life you may see it on the lips so much higher.
Make-up worn:
_______
2 Rouge Croisière
2 Rouge Croisière seemed promising as a wholesome coral peach, however on my lips it’s actually orange. It’s a vibrant coral that has a summery vibe. I do assume you may tone down the colour by flippantly dabbing it versus swiping it on the lips.
_______
3 Rouge Roman
3 Rouge Roman is my second favourite shade. It’s practically unimaginable for me to put on purples on the lips as a result of I can by no means discover the suitable undertone. Most are both too brown, too purple, or too purple. I feel this one has simply the right combination to really appear like a plum/mauve on my lips.
_______
4 Rouge Flou
4 Rouge Flou is a brilliant heat purple orange. Swatching it in retailer made me assume it might be a heat coral however on my lips it undoubtedly pulls extra reddish. It’s so brilliant it’s virtually a electrical neon form of shade.
_______
10 Rouge Byzantin
10 Rouge Byzantin is a brown plum. There are 3 darker plum tones and so they all seemed actually fairly in retailer. It was onerous to slender down my decide because the nuances between every of them are slight. I debated between Rouge Byzantin or Rouge 2.55 determined to go for the one with extra brown tones. It’s stunning.
Are they well worth the value? I actually assume this is determined by your funds and private choice. I had a chat with a couple of buddies in regards to the value just lately – we talked about how some don’t have any hesitation dropping $200 on a fragrance, cashmere sweater, skincare and so forth, however not a lipstick or a make-up palette.
I don’t know that I’ll ever assume a lipstick is price a $200 price ticket, however in the event you love Chanel or discover a coloration you actually love, I feel the 31 Le Rouge Lipstick will make a phenomenal collector piece. It would actually be a particular splurge deal with. The packaging is really beautiful and method is phenomenal. A part of me needs that they had extra neutrals or mushy pinks, however I’m joyful to have not less than 1 impartial.
