Chanel lipsticks - Rouge Coco, Rouge Allure, etc. - Page 96

post #2851 of 3640

So many backup considerations, so little time (left) girlhaha.gif to use what I already have.......thud.gif

post #2852 of 3640

Where could someone find a backup of Insolente?  I can't find it on any website and was hoping to avoid EBay.

I got some catching up to do in this thread! I glanced bits of my beloved Rouge Allures being discontinued. I don't need backups of anything, but I am anxious to see what takes it's place.

Anyway, I'm here because I bought two new pieces. I bought Caractere Rouge Coco lipstick and Troublant Rouge Allure gloss. I love them both. The lipstick and gloss aren't as WOW on me as I was expecting because my lips are pigmented, but the lipstick has this shimmer in it that brightens up my face and with a little layering, the color shows up nicely. The gloss is a lovely companion piece, shimmer free. I was really, really tempted by Furtif single shadow, but I thought of the price for that single shadow and the fact that I already had a bag full of makeup on my arm and passed. Something tells me I'm gonna go back for it next week, though. It's such a stunning color.

I will most probably get Extatique and Secrete! :)

 

And back-ups of Insolente, just to be sure.

post #2856 of 3640

I just checked and I have on hand 2 Insolente.. and another 2 in storage.. lol.  So I might be dead before I even get to using them.

Would you know it, as soon as I swatch Enthusiast and deicide I want it... It's sold out everywhere. censored.gif I guess I have Mac's Hibiscus, which looks pretty close, but still... *pouts*. 

 

Strangely, I think the only two Allures I have that weren't LE are Coquette (have to back that one up!) and Fatale (I think I can getting away subbing something else for this). The RAs always seem to dry my lips a little (except Coquette), so I gravitate towards the RCs. Part of me wants to grab Flamboyante if it's still available, although it looks a lot like a Guerlain shade I have...

GET FLAMBOYANTE cheerleader.gif

I love that one!

Hey all! I have Rouge Coco Shine in Canotier. It looks overly frosty on me and I have no clue how to wear it with something else. Such a shame that I hate one of my only Chanel lippies!!

LOL!

 

I have three, one onhand and two in storage! :)

 

Will they not expire?

post #2861 of 3640

I have a few RAs that I wanted but I never pick them up. I can't remember what they are now. I have so many chanel lipsticks now I want to finish them up and get the new colours, and I'm looking forward to them - I want a pinky nude! I prefer the colours of RC to RA, so I'm happy that Chanel is updating the RAs. My favourite RA out of what I have is probably Discrete, a slightly peachy nude, and my favourite true nude is Mythic. The RALs are not at my counters anymore.

post #2862 of 3640

If HG has such a reaction with Coromandel... then I must check it out... *gulp*

 

Can anyone tell me if the reds in RA would fade out beautifully? I wore red lips to an elaborate lunch yesterday and after all the foods the lipstick looked like I only lined my lips with a liner icon_eek.gif. Maybe this is inevitable? I'm such a noob with darker colored lips :P.

I found it at Izzy's for $34 which isn't bad considering the regular retail is $32.50 (plus you save sales tax - I did anyway).  I ordered 3 holysheep.gif.

Thank you!  Going to Izzy's now...

Have there been any swatches posted for the new RAs that are going to be released?

 

I would love to see a real swatch (not Chanel promo swatch) of the pink beige and pink coral.

post #2866 of 3640

I WANT swatches too :)

post #2867 of 3640

Haven't seen any swatches either... Only saw this promo pic: Armocromia Make Up: NEW! ROUGE ALLURE CHANEL september 2012

 

Seeing that pic I like all three in the front row, especially the nude ( I guess that's Evanescente ) on the left and the pink on the right. The purple-y pink one behind that one looks nice too.

post #2868 of 3640

Ooohhh..I like the 2 on the ends of the front row and the one at the end of the second row on the left, behind the nude.

post #2869 of 3640

That one on the left front end could be the perfect pinky nude...hoping. They all look beautiful.

post #2870 of 3640

Well, thanks to elegant-one, I bought my first Chanel lipstick. So I felt the need to mosey on over into this thread. I got Rouge Allure #67 Excessive because of a photo of Adele posted in the MAC Marilyn Monroe thread. elegant-one shared that's the shade she's wearing in the photo and I HAD TO HAVE IT. eyelove.gif

Well, someone posted that the Chanel info said that it was indeed Excessive & I reposted that. In this photo^ it does look like Excessive. It looked a bit darker red in that other pic.

 

I hope you LOVE it my dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please let us know. Welcome to the beautiful world of Chanel. friends.gif

post #2873 of 3640

Based on the Chanel promo pic I'm really hoping the lippy in the front right is Seduisante...it looks like La Raffinee. I wasn't 100% sold on the RAV formula but LOVED that color.

post #2874 of 3640

Could be based on the descriptions. I wish they were id'd in that promo pic.  Here's a little more info with the same chart as we saw in the link a few pages back but all together instead of broken up by color family:

I want to check out Gracile, Seduisante and Secrete. I'll need to ask elegant which red I might like!lol.gif

Hi Elegant!!  How long have we been waiting for that perfect pinky nude??  Fingers crossed :)

post #2876 of 3640
I might end up with about half of these. So excited!

I was going to say that I was really only interested in "a couple". Then I looked at what "a couple" actually meant: 

 

Secrete

Extatique

Incandescente

Pirate

Palpitante

Inimitable

Determinee

 

Yeah. That's just a couple. Per column. 

post #2878 of 3640

Elegant-one made me get my first chanel lipstick too. I was thinking about Excessive, but when I swatched it next to Famous, Famous looked more unique. So I got that one. I still would love to get my hands on Dragon, but the only place I can find it is ebay and that's way to expensive :(

Here's a picture of Famous. It's a bit brighter and redder IRL. It feels so nice on the lips!

^^ Very beautiful on you!
post #2880 of 3640

Nordstrom canceled my order for Excessive. They're "unable to fulfill" because it's no longer in stock apparently. Even though it's still being listed as available on the website.thud.gif

 

I did some more searching and ordered it from another store. In my panic, I also added Flamboyante and Insolente to my cart. I'm on pins and needles waiting for my shipping notice. It's funny, but I did receive a shipping notice from Nordstrom for the free sample items.

 

Are there any other of these discontinued Rouge Allure shades that are considered must haves before they're gone? Famous is on my list, and Pinkdollface's picture has confirmed that's a good choice. It looks really pretty.
