Chanel Rouge Coco Camelia : A lipstick I can wear every day

30 Comments

A week… or was it two weeks ago, I teased you with a picture of the Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in Camelia #10.

I promised you swatches and I always try to keep to my promises 🙂 Now just quickly for those who are new, the Rouge Coco lipsticks by Chanel have a nice pigment and do not go on very glossy or shiny. I always feel that they are a very adult sort of lipstick. Not something frivolous, but something when worn makes you feel almost like a lady.

The packaging is lux as befits a luxury brand and I like the weight of the lipstick. Not super heavy or bulky, yet has a nice weight so it does not feel like a plaything.

#10 Camelia is a very wearable everyday colour. I’ve got a couple of swatches below 🙂

The colour is a light rose pink which is a colour I wear well. In fact, I’d say that the Rouge Coco lipstick range is a range of very lip safe colours. Nothing super dramatic or bright but there are many good colours for women of any colour who just want a good lipstick.

The colour is a little stronger on my lips than I expected but its a good sort of colour. The texture is more satin and it lasts a long time on my lips without slipping and sliding. “A long time” means till lunch because I have my coffee and water in the mornings and by the time I have lunch, I’d wipe away my lipstick.

Some people have complained that the Rouge Coco range of lipsticks are drying. I personally do not face that problem at all 🙂 Camelia is a nice toned down lip colour I wear everyday which is great when you buy an expensive lipstick, because you want it to go as far as possible!

Pros: Lovely colour, Lasts long on my lips

Cons: Expensive

I also presently have #22 Paris which is bright and not a colour I wear very often these days. Having a colour I can slick on any time every day, that matches well with the rest of my makeup makes Camelia a permanent feature in my lipstick pouch 🙂

Now, I know Chanel lipsticks are out of the price range of many, but have you indulged and if you did, which colour did you go for? 🙂

  10. Lovely color on you! <3

    I have Mademoiselle (Rouge Coco) and Vertige (Rouge Allure)

    Love them to death! I always feel "something" whenever I put my Chanel lippie on. I don't know, like "lady-like" or "classy", I don't know, it's just "something".

    Or maybe I just think too much to justify the price. Haha :p

    • Thanks Wai See but I do find that nice lipsticks or lipsticks in nice packaging does makes a difference to how you feel with it on. Enjoy it – its a touch of luxury after all 😉

  11. Like Wai See and many other commenters, I am a Mademoiselle fan myself – but Camelia is très jolie as well! And I really dig nude lipsticks… I am still coveting Perle, but my bank account has gone from firmly telling me “no” to singing it in a loud chorus. I’m afraid I’ll have to adhere.

    And to echo everyone else, Camelia does look lavish on you, ParisB 🙂

      • I think I might have to check it out eventually! Cool pinks and violets work best with my skin tone so hopefully Camelia works! Now, how to get both Camelia AND Perle at the same time 🙁

  12. I like the embossed Chanel words in the lipstick and the packaging. Totally classy. The colors are usually very classic too. I’ve yet to indulge but have coveted Chanel lipsticks. Perhaps at the end of the year as a treat.

    The color looks gorgeous on you!

    • You know, ever since Chanel embossed their lippies, every brand seems to be doing it! Cue Revlon LOL! But yes, the colours are usually classic and wearable, not crazy in any way. Its like the brand isn’t it? Timeless 🙂
