I’ve been doing some research on the new Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks recently, because there’s been so much buzz about it. I thought I’d splurge on one but was told at the Chanel counter that its only coming in in April 2011 here. So, I’ll have to wait :)
But while I was looking around online, I could not help noticing how the ad for the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine and Dior Addict Be Iconic looked remarkably similar.
Both share the same handwritten cursive font under the product name. A bit of a case of “Twins Separated at Birth”? ;) Even the textures sound similar.
Reading about both lipstick formulas send the spidey senses tingling even more. Both Chanel Rouge Coco Shine and Dior Addict are sheer and shiny lipsticks that apply like a lipbalm. They aren’t the only ones around having this formula for this season. Even Maybelline has jumped on that bandwagon.
Dior Addict is already on the shelves, and I’ve already picked up a couple. Ooh bad me! *slaps hands*
Once the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine debuts locally, I’ll be sure to give it a go and I’ll then do you a little comparison shall I? :)
If you have tried both, or either please share your thoughts on these lippies. I personally am loving the Dior Addict ones, but then I always have :)

I so want the Chanel ones! Out of greed!
Don’t worry. Me too! :D
I went to check out the Dior Addict with my friends, but the sheerness made me think twice. The lemming’s now nothing more than a nag, but yeah. I tried Diorkiss too!!! Should I get one??
Only you can answer that question :) I love sheer glossy lipsticks as much as I do my pigmented ones. In fact I might like sheer lipsticks just that bit more because I love Japanese lipsticks and I’m very pleased at how Western brands are slowly picking up that style and texture :)
Hmmmm… so I really should give sheer glossy lipsticks a try…
Now the lemming’s back!! *Sees angpau in drawer, checks the amount of $$ inside* THANK YOU PB!!!
Sheer glossy lips is love or hate. If Japanese style makeup isn’t your thing, you won’t like it. But in the Dior line there are some stronger colours too.
Hihihi.. this entry make me smile. I bought one too. But i dont know the name, but the code # is 525. I have to admit, this is my .. (donno how many times) .. another.. guilty pleasure :D Love love love this lippi. Yeay :)
#525 is Vintage which sounds very pretty :) I love the texture don’t you? Staying power probably isn’t the best but it feels so lovely on the lips
eeek i don’t feel so bad now….i bought myself 3 too :)
i have it in 333, 343, and 322
Teehee… Never feel bad! ;) I contemplated #333 (Nude) for a long time because that’s one of the Kate Moss picks too but I passed because I didn’t think it’d show up on my lips. From your picks, it sounds like you’re into nude colours for lips :)
Chanel has a lot of lovely shades so does Dior and I like both lipsticks. I’d say they are similar but I am judging only from swatching them, didn’t have the chance to compare how they feel/wear on the lips yet although both lipsticks are already available just near my home. :poor me, what a temptation: but I am determined to get only one shade of each, ha. Wish me luck :))
Oh good luck to you Marina! Its going to be soooo hard to choose just one from both ranges! :D Would love to hear your thoughts on them once you pick it up :)
Hi Paris. I’ve picked the Dior lipstick, couldn’t choose in Chanel but will probably just get Boy on the weekend :)
I hear Boy is very pretty but sheer. I’m still waiting for us to get the line in…
I wanted to try out the Dior Addict Be Iconic lipsticks last night at KLCC but they were already packing since it was kinda late :(
Do you know which color is their bestseller?
I like the one on Kate Moss but I think the color wouldn’t appear on my lips. hmm..
The 3 favoured by Kate Moss are #333 Nude #578 Diorkiss (pink) and #963 Red Carpet. I think Diorkiss is very pretty and it might be quite a sell out for those who like pink :)
The Dior tubes are round and the Chanels are square! ;-) All I know is that there’s a Rouge Coco Shine named “Boy” supposed to be named after Mdm Coco’s love interest, a boy. Or something like that.. :-)
Boy was named after Coco Chanel’s love interest, a captain in the navy whose nickname was Boy… or something romantic like that :) That’s the only one I know too but I think that’s one I know for sure I wouldn’t get, because it looks too light.
OH man those colours you got are making me drool! Can’t wait to see what it looks like on you :-))))))
Teehee… I’ll try to bring some swatches next week. They are proving to be a bit of a challenge to photograph!
I bought myself 561#baby rose – light and sheer pink on my lips and i like it very much. And get a free small lipstick of 578# Diorkiss with purchase more than RM350 if not mistaken. :)
mmm… that’s such a pretty sounding colour! And isn’t Diorkiss pretty? :)
I’ve purchased the rouge coco shine in Boy but also received take home samples of Adventure #57, Liberte #46 and Monte Carlo #62. I love Monte Carlo – the perfect sheer red and have tested some of the Diors but I find that RCs more moisturizing. Boy is quite sheer but perfect for applying when you don’t have a mirror( yes I tried!) goof proof but still adds shine n colour.I’ve tried layering it over RC in Mademoiselle and the colour combo was absolutely gorgeous! I’ll probably get some of Diors too ( colour choice wow!) but my next lippies in line will RC shines in Liberte ( sheer coral) and Monte Carlo :)
