Last week, I showed you some pieces from the Chanel Collection Libre Holiday 2017 collection<\/strong><\/a>. I told you then, that while some of the items there were noteworthy, the true stars of the collection were the lipsticks. They were so noteworthy, I felt they deserved their very own post!<\/p>\n

The full name of the Chanel Holiday 2017 collection is Collection Libre Num\u00e9ros\u00a0Rouges<\/strong>. The stars, that are thrust to the forefront and centre, are a selection of Chanel’s popular Rouge Allure lipsticks, in a festive, limited edition red lacquered case. They usually come in black, as you will see here<\/a>, but the red is beautiful! Rouge Allure lipsticks are the ones that you have to depress, and the tube will pop up for you to pull out, as I’ve demonstrated above. It is a very sleek packaging, as there are no protruding bits at all.<\/p>\n

This Christmas, Chanel aims to help you find your perfect red lip, by presenting you with 4 shades in 2 textures, from which to pick. I however, unfortunately only have 3 to show you. But I did stop by the Chanel boutique, before I received these, and had a little play, so I’ll share some swatches of all 4 below. In many ways, this focus on red for the lips reminds me of Lucia Pica’s first Chanel collection, Le Rouge<\/a>. I’m guessing red is her favourite colour to work with then \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Chanel has made their festive lipsticks in the Rouge Allure range, and provided us with 2 formula. The regular Rouge Allure formula, which has more shine, and the Rouge Allure Velvet, which is a more matte formula. I have said before, that I am not a fan of matte lipstick in general, but the Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet is an exception<\/a>. Not only are the colours beautiful, they do not dry out the lips, nor settle into lip lines, and above all, do not look TOO matte, as to crinkle up your lips like dehydrated worms \ud83d\ude1b It is a beautiful formula.<\/p>\n

I was kindly sent 3 shades to share with you, which are imaginatively named No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. The fourth which is not pictured here, is… you guessed it, No. 4 LOL!<\/p>\n
