I have blogged about my lipstick collection as a whole (post here) but I wanted to focus on quite possibly my most favourite brand of lipstick...Chanel...
(Left to Right)
I would describe this as a bold coral, it's pretty build-able and can be worn fairly lightly or you can add a few more coats to make it really stand out! The Rouge Allure Velvet range is different to most matte lipsticks, as well as being incredibly pigmented these lipsticks are moisturising too so your lips are not left looking dry.
Probably one of my most worn lipsticks, especially now it looks like Summer is finally here! I tend to get quite a few compliments on this lipstick when I wear it as well, definitely a firm favourite in my collection! The colour payoff is brilliant, it's also very long lasting and I find as long as I use a lip liner underneath then I don't really suffer with any bleeding.
This was my first ever red lipstick, I remember talking to one of the girls on the Chanel counter and saying that I love red lipstick but it just doesn't look right on me, after being told there is a red lipstick for everyone and trying this on I was instantly in love!
Inimitable is a gorgeous deep red with a slight shimmer to it, I tend to wear this for evenings out or special occasions - this lipstick worked perfectly for my work's Christmas party last year! Like the other Rouge Allure lipsticks this is really pigmented so a little goes a long way and it's incredibly long lasting - especially when worn with a lip liner too!
Last year I was on the hunt for a dark lipstick perfect for the winter and this shade ticked all the boxes for me! I can't quite pull off a purple lipstick but this berry shade La Sensuelle is just right for me.
I find during Autumn/Winter months this is perfect to wear during the day if I fancy a bold lip and it's also great for the evenings! Definitely a shade I need to wear more of, I find if I use a lip liner underneath then it doesn't bleed and it will last best part of the day with only needing maybe one or two touch ups at the most.
This was my first ever Chanel lipstick and also my most used as you can probably tell! The Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks are not as pigmented as the other Chanel lipsticks but they are seriously moisturising and do have a lovely range of shades!
I would describe Boy as a pale beige-y pink, I find it just enhances my natural lip colour. I wouldn't say it's the most pigmented of shades but it works well with pretty much any make-up look I choose to wear! The lasting power for this lipsticks is pretty good - a few hours without eating or drinking anything but if you're looking for a simple lipstick that's perfect for every day wear then I would recommend giving Boy a try!
Aventure is a mid-tone pink, it has slightly more pigmentation that Boy and is a little bit build-able too if you're wanting a bit more colour payoff!
I'd say this colour can be worn all year round but it's definitely a favourite of mine to wear in Spring/Summer when I want to carry a lipstick with me that I can apply without needing a mirror or having to mess around with lip liner/a brush. I really want to try out more shades from the Coco Shine range...Flirt is next on the list to try!
