Chanel Rouge Allure Winter 2015 Collection: Rouge Allure Velvet La Mysterieuse

The new Rouge Allure collection features 4 Rouge Allures (2 regular, 2 velvets), 3 Rouge Allure glosses and some nail polishes and lip liners. Some of the items are from the permanent line making it a rather concise collection.
I wasn't planning on buying anything but when I spotted the display it occurred to me that I might not have tried the Rouge Allure Velvet lip formula. Completely aghast with this realisation I corrected the wrong doing and bought the limited edition Rouge Allure Velvet in La Mysterieuse.




When I came back home the bitter sweetness of having a blog became apparent when I saw that I did in fact buy a Rouge Allure Velvet way back in 2011 and my review was a bit sub-par, well what a dampener on my new shiny purchase.....
The lipstick has a velvety feel and applies really smooth, however it does feel clingy and sinks into lip lines a bit, its not uncomfortably drying but lacks the level of hydration I prefer. On the plus side its richly pigmented, wear time is really good and the colour is just lush, its a medium to deep rose, the base is matte but there is a subtle gold sheen to it which helps it not look flat.
Swatched once

Swatched three times

Applied with one light layer


Ingredients:

Whilst the formula is not my favourite, I really am enjoying this saturated colour that brightens up the complexion, which I really need at the moment, as I am rocking a tired, drab look courtesy of my teething sleepless baby.
Overall I think this collection is worth a peruse and it serves to wet the appetite for the upcoming Vamp Attitude Holiday collection.

I bought this from Boots

    1. I can see you wering this shade, I buy quite a lot of Chanel lipsticks so do think they are worth you trying :)

  2. I think (aside from the nail polish which I love!) lipsticks are really the standout product from Chanel. So many formulas and lots of shades...and best of all; no overly scented or flaky lips when wearing these.

    1. I agree, I think I have more Chanel lipsticks than any other brand, looking forward to seeing their Holiday shades.

  3. Hi dear! What a pretty colour this one! I've not try Chanel lipsticks until now but I'm very tempted to! We are at the endless search of the perfect balance between moisturizing and pigmentation.. I really suggest you Collistar lipsticks, they are among the best ones I own :-) Have a good day dear! Kisses

    1. I do like a Chanel lipstick, the Coco Rouge and shines are my favourite formulas from them. We have Collistar skincare here but I am not sure about makeup, so will see if I can find their lipstick, thanks for the recommendation ;)

  4. What a pretty shade for the fall season! :) I am really loving matte and satin formulas at the moment and there are so many on the market right now. I'm going to the mall tomorrow & hope to give this one a try! xx
