Chanel Rouge Coco in Legende & Taffetas Rose

I've had these babies for a while but only found time to swatch them recently. These are both pinks, one light - for everyday use and the other one is bright - for those fancy night outs. Both are from the Rouge Coco line - just like my favorite Gabrielle.
  

The tubes are so luxurious! Agree? Agree!

Legende is a very light pink but not sheer. This lipstick is pigmented but very wearable. It doesn't should look at my lips but more like MLBB (my lips but better). You can play it up with eye make up but can also be worn alone. The only down side to this is it becomes a bit drying after a while and you have to re-apply every three hours or so which is actually normal for me. It has bits of glitter too.

I had to Photoshop the last photo because the camera isn't capturing the true color. It looks red but this is the best that I could do. Haha! It's a very bright pink with a hint of purple. It really pops! Believe me! If only it's not too drying. :|

These lipsticks are $28 each in Duty Free but definitely more expensive in stores. I came across one blog where she asked whether to buy something bright and bold or a more "usable" lipstick when buying from luxurious aka expensive brands. I think I got the best of both worlds and I am definitely not regretting my purchase!

What would you rather buy in an expensive cosmetics store, an everyday color or a bold one? Would love to hear your thoughts. :)

New Chanel Collection x Transformers?

How cute is this? Saw this from Ms. Jenni Epperson's blog.

Revisiting Chanel Gabrielle #19

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about my first Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick. I don't know why the color didn't pop in the picture. So, I decided to give it another try. Here are other pictures of me wearing the Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in 19 Gabrielle.

By the way, I bought two more Chanel Rouge Coco lipsticks from Duty Free last weekend. Will post soon!

Enjoy!

Chanel Rouge Coco in 19 Gabrielle

This is my first Chanel lipstick I got it from Duty Free where they sell it at a lower price. I saved around PHP500. I'm so glad I went with my parents to Duty Free.

I chose a very red color - not something I would wear but I decided to try something new rather than to stick with my pinks and nudes. Good thing Chanel cosmetics did not disappoint. 

I got the lipstick for $27 in Duty Free. It's definitely cheaper beause when I checked online, it costs around $30-$32. I asked the SA for their best red lipstick and it was the 19 Gabrielle and I'm so happy with it. It doesn't dry my lips though it's a bit matte. It's supposed to me a hydrating creme lip color but it's not as creamy as I though. It's very pigmented and the color really pops. one swipe on my lower lip and that's enough even for my upper lip. Seriously, one swipe is all you need. The richness of the red isn't too cheap nor overpowering. It's just right. You just have to wear it with everything else muted because it's really very red. I love it.

I seriously don't know why the color doesn't register well in photos but in person, it really stands out.

I took this photo a few hours after application and the color is still good. Stain is still there after a couple of hours. What I don't like about this is whenever I eat or drink, the inner area gets washed out and the outer area still has the stain. Haha. Because of that I need to reapply after a few hours but I don't mind because the color is just wonderful.

I love this Chanel lipstick. 

Have a happy Saturday!
