The Best & Worst | Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur
Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur
Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur ($37.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a lipstick pencil that twists-up (no sharpening required) and has a consistency that is incredibly creamy, soft, and smooth. The coverage varied from mostly opaque to opaque, depending on the shade, and the wear time ranged between three to five hours with some shades (like the reds and fuchsias) leaving a stain behind. It was a very hydrating and comfortable formula to wear, but they’re so soft that I felt like it was easy to over-apply the product when there isn’t much product in each tube (0.04 oz. compared to a standard Chanel lipstick, which is 0.12 oz.). Twist-up pencils usually contain less product than a twist-up tube of lipstick, but I wish these had a little more (like 0.08 oz.) or else not quite as pricey. I didn’t notice any scent or taste.

Such pretty colors, but I won’t be getting any, sadly. That whole .04 of product leaves me cold. Just like those miniscule amounts of the MUG liquid lipstick. Or the vanishing half-gallons of ice cream that now only contain 46-48 oz. instead of a REAL half-gallon! Brands doing stuff like that just burns my biscuits! ?
Cassis and nude are my picks!
They are all very pretty especially Tangerine and Rose Clair. I’m happy the formula is good on this one I hate when high end brands fail to perform. I own so many lipsticks that I haven’t even worn yet and added some more from my favorite lipstick brand Givenchy & a few from Dior so these will have to wait.
I tested this in Rouge last week. I have to say I loved it. It is so lightweight on the lips, feels so good, and lasted a really long time. I would be very happy to have one, and I may down the road. My lipstick collection is bordering on out of control right now. 🙂
These make me wish I felt comfortable wearing reds! So pretty.
I like most of the colors but will probably only get Cassis as the coverage is a little more even compared to a few other darker pencils on the market. I’m not in a rush for it though. I will probably wait until fall.
Wait, Warrior is double the amount for less cost?!?!?! It might not be worth the slight almost imperceptible difference in smoothness/patchiness of application… Eh, which one is more moisturizing and long wearing?
They’re all very nice but the price for the minuscule amount of product is ridiculous!
