Round-up: Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick Overview & Thoughts
Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) was reformulated this year and launched 29 shades. I’ve reviewed all 27 of the shades I had (a mixture of shades I purchased and press samples), so now it’s time for a recap! In general, the formula glides on and has semi-sheer to semi-opaque color coverage with light to moderate shine. Most shades have some level of fine, pearl shimmer, with some appearing more frosted and others appearing more luminous without really detectable shimmer particles. The wear time varies, though it tends to be shorter than average (two to three hours), and my experience showed that some were lightly hydrating, others were slightly drying, and then some were neither. My personal favorite was Julia (404) (A-). If you’ve tried the formula, I hope you’ll write a review 🙂

Hey Christine: When I try to load the swatches, I receive an error saying page not found.
I absolutely love these roundup posts because I find it easier to understand colour swatches on a comparative basis.
Fixed! Had an extra quotation messing the code up. http:/www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery?sg=190107,190106,190105,190104,190103,190102,190101,190100,190099,190098,190097,190096,190095,190094,190093,190092,190091,190090,190089,190088,190087,190086,190085,190084&lips=1
Julia is a beautiful shade. I might have to splurge on this one!
It is a nice beige that’s not too light!

Fixed! Sorry about that. http:/www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery?sg=190107,190106,190105,190104,190103,190102,190101,190100,190099,190098,190097,190096,190095,190094,190093,190092,190091,190090,190089,190088,190087,190086,190085,190084&lips=1
I have Cecile and Julia from this collection and I quite like them. The wear is of an average hydrating lipstick so I think it’s pretty good. I picked up two neutral shades cause I know that I’ll wear them a lot cause these are more of a treat for me 🙂
Glad you’re enjoying the two you picked up, Beti! 😀
Great round-up as always! Like I have mentioned in previous comments,I like this formula. But,I don’t love it. I have a hard time with formulas that are just all over the board. Thankfully, we have such a wonderful beauty blogger in you, Christine. I wound up with Arthur in Julia so far. Teheran and Jean have caught my eye as well. But, I am not sure if I will buy them or not because every time I wear the other two I feel like I am constantly reapplying. I find Bite’s lip primer Too Faced Glossy primer (I prefer this one-glossy finish though) extend the wear very slightly-maybe an 30-60 min. If I wear a lip pencil it helps more.But due to the sheerness, it changes the shade.
Honestly, it doesn’t sound like you’re in love with the ones you got, so I’d probably keep an eye out for something new or another formula that you really enjoy more. These aren’t cheap! I feel like you should LOVE them to bits!
Woot, awesome roundup! Teheran is definitely amongst my favorites.
Teheran is pretty!
Although not one of the highest scoring, I really do like Maggy and I could see myself getting it. I actually love sheer colors, and I don’t mind reapplying once or twice throughout the day.
The color of it is really pretty!
I see others also likes Teheran. I am absolutely going to try it on, and I hope I’ll like it on, as I really love the look of it.
I forgot, I aslo really like Legende, unfortunatelu it didn’t get an A, will still take a close look at it. So pretty.
I hope you love it! 🙂
My typing! So sorry!
I absolutely some of these lipsticks but sheer does nothing for me.
Totally understand!
I didn’t like the reformulation. Prefered the older.
Bummer 🙁
