Chanel launched a brand new lipstick known as 31 Le Rouge ($195 every) impressed by their iconic handle 31 Rue Cambon in Paris. There are 12 lipstick shades whole packaged in a surprising re-fillable glass lipstick case that mirrors the Artwork Deco staircase in Gabrielle Chanel’s condo. Every lipstick additionally comes with a quilted black case to guard the glass. This is among the most luxurious lipsticks launched up to now. Obtainable 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 lots of you’ve gotten been asking me to assessment these. As a long-time die arduous Chanel fan and collector I knew I needed to buy at the least one. I ended up shopping for a couple of to try to right now I’m sharing all of my ideas after placing them to the check. 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 more in-depth 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 finished 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:

Formulation is actually distinctive. It’s probably the most beautiful components I’ve ever tried. It’s one of the best traditional satin lipstick components I believe that has ever been made. Texture is easy and comfy. They glide on the lips flawlessly. Pigment is opaque and wealthy. It adheres properly to the lips. They’re softly scented with a floral scent but it surely’s fashionable and mushy. They’ve Gardenia Oil and have fairly good lasting energy.

Packaging is gorgeous. The Chanel 31 Le Rouge instances 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 believe the separate pouch is gorgeous too.

The pigment can also be actually lovely. They’ve a micronized pearl making them luminous on the lips, though just one has seen shimmer. The largest draw back in my view is the restricted shade choice – they’ve one lighter impartial and eleven bolds. Whereas it is sensible that they centered totally on traditional reds, I want that they had launched extra neutrals, mushy pinks even some mauves. A handful of you informed me the lightest shade was going to be too mild for you and the second lightest possibility was straight up orange.

I ended up choosing 5 shades to try to listed below are my ideas on every of them.

1 Rouge Beige

1 Rouge Beige is the lightest shade and it’s a pearlescent beige. I like it though it’s pale and is a little bit bit on the sheer aspect (at the least in comparison with all the opposite colours within the lineup). This shade jogs my memory of certainly 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 images however in actual life you may see it on the lips loads 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 frivolously dabbing it versus swiping it on the lips.

_______

3 Rouge Roman

3 Rouge Roman is my second favourite shade. It’s practically unattainable for me to put on purples on the lips as a result of I can by no means discover the appropriate undertone. Most are both too brown, too pink, or too purple. I believe this one has simply the correct mix to actually appear to be a plum/mauve on my lips.

_______

4 Rouge Flou

4 Rouge Flou is a brilliant heat pink orange. Swatching it in retailer made me assume it could be a heat coral however on my lips it undoubtedly pulls extra reddish. It’s so brilliant it’s virtually a electrical neon sort of shade.

_______

10 Rouge Byzantin

10 Rouge Byzantin is a brown plum. There are 3 darker plum tones they usually all seemed actually fairly in retailer. It was arduous to slim 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 lovely.

Are they definitely worth the value? I actually assume this is determined by your price range and private choice. I had a chat with a couple of pals concerning the value not too long ago – we talked about how some haven’t any hesitation dropping $200 on a fragrance, cashmere sweater, skincare and many others, however not a lipstick or a make-up palette.

I don’t know that I’ll ever assume a lipstick is value a $200 price ticket, however should you love Chanel or discover a shade you actually love, I believe the 31 Le Rouge Lipstick will make a wonderful collector piece. It would actually be a particular splurge deal with. The packaging is actually beautiful and components is phenomenal. A part of me needs that they had extra neutrals or mushy pinks, however I’m joyful to have at the least 1 impartial.

Obtainable at Chanel.com and Chanel Boutiques.
