Just out of interest I swatched the ones from the spring collection and noticed that two of the shades seemed different as there was more slip and they felt more moisturising.
Charme Rouge Coco (£23) #40 is a shimmery cool toned pink with a semi sheer finish. Its such a flattering delicate shade of pink and has just a touch of brightness to it, its gives a very youthful look.
Superstition Rouge Coco (£23) #38 is a sheer shimmery golden beige nude with a bit of warmth. I have very few nude lip colours as the majority look rather unflattering on me. This shade manages to work as its not overly beige and the sheerness allows some of your natural lip colour to show through, which adds a bit of pink to the mix. I really like this shade and its one of the best "nudes" I have found.
Whilst I would still not say these are what I would class as hydrating/moisturising lipsticks, they are definitely not as drying as the other Rouge Coco's I have tried. Another difference is that the colour pay-off is more sheer, which works well for these two shades. If I was blind testing these I wouldn't have thought they were from the Rouge Coco range.
Here are the ingredients, as with all Chanel lipsticks these are scented.
Below is a quick eye look with the Éclosion quad I reviewed here
I bought all these from John Lewis
Ah, I feel so privileged, you've granted my wish for an Eclosion look! It's so very delicate, it definitely has an early Spring feel. Superstition look particularly pretty, though perhaps a bit sheer for pigmented lips. Like you, I'm not a huge fan of the formula, I much prefer the Coco Shines, so I didn't even glance at these. Instead, I was wondering what you thought of the Tigerlily e/s...been resisting, but not sure for how long! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Anna,
DeleteWell I didn't want to incur your wrath and not post a look ;)
I do think you'd find Superstition a bit sheer for your tastes. I'll tell you what I thought of Tigerlily when I swatched it..Orange.. there didn't seem to be any pretty undertones to it either, it just seemed to really clash with my skintone.

Charme Rouge Coco looks perfect! I love the eye makeup as well!
ReplyDeleteHello Vintage Makeup,
DeleteGlad you like the eye look, I notice that I don't seem to have applied my mascara properly though..opps..
:)
Those two shades are lovely, anyone needs a nude and a light pink in my book! And nice to hear that they're more moisturising than the previous ones!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you did some excellent shopping! :)
xx
Hi Tina,
DeleteThank you, Chanel can be a bit hit and miss for me so I am doing better than normal thus far :)
xx
Oh, how I love the look of Superstition! I know it wouldn't suit me, but still I can't help drooling over it...sigh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like the eye look, very subtle and sweet :))

Hi Nina,
DeleteThank you :) You say sweet and immediately my mind thinks I want chocolate and yet I have none....
I think with Superstition it will be either a love or hate type of shade for a lot of people. Do you happen to know if we are getting that Roses Ultimes collection here? x
I picked up Superstition a while back. It's pretty, but haven't used it much. I need to start rotating my lipsticks as I end up using the same thing every day! I love the eye look you did with the Eclosion palette :)
ReplyDeleteHi Makeup Magpie,
DeleteThank you :)
I know what you mean about the need to rotate, I do seem to get caught up with all the newer items I have whilst the others sit in a drawer unloved

That eye look is so pretty and not at all what I would have anticipated from the colours in the quad. You have an excellent eye for what colours work for you and how best to use them.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
DeleteThats a lovely thing to say, thank you :)
I am pleased with the quad and glad I gave it a go, I do wish they would change their formula so it matched that in the singles and duos though xx
I prefer the Allures myself, they feel more mositurising. I have only Mademoiselle and Sari Dore and I don't intend to get more. Your rouge coco shines are amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteYou remind me that I bought a Rouge Allure recently that I really like, I must do a post on that. I do have a bit of a thing for the coco shines ;)
