Formula Overview

$9.00/0.11 oz. - $81.82 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to sheer coverage with "hi-shine" that is "smoothing" without being sticky. The consistency was lightweight, smooth, non-sticky, and spreadable, which made it a very plush and comfortable formula to wear.

Some shades were more smoothing than others, but I noticed that darker-hued shades had a tendency to settle into my lip lines more noticeably. I was surprised--and disappointed--as one of the things I loved most about the original gloss formula was how forgiving and smoothing it was.

The pigmentation was sheer to semi-sheer, as marketed, while the longevity was solid (good for a gloss) at three to four hours. The formula felt hydrating to wear. It had a sweet, red candy-like scent but no discernible taste.

Formula Overview

$9.00/0.1 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "medium coverage" that dries down to a "diffused matte finish" with "no cracking or flaking." Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque coverage, so they were more pigmented than marketed.

The texture was lightweight, thin, and very fluid (almost watery in a way, that being neither pro nor con!), which made it easy to spread across my lips and get an even application of product. I noticed that the formula was generally forgiving of lip texture/lip lines and didn't settle into my lip lines while drying down.

Most shades took 30 to 60 minutes before they were more matte, or else one could blot gently to achieve that diffused matte finish faster. Once the formula was mostly dried down, it remained flexible and comfortable to wear while feeling lightweight. I achieved four to five hours of wear and felt that the formula was non-drying over time. It had a subtle, sweet scent but no discernible taste.

Formula Overview

$10.99/0.17 oz. - $64.65 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "comfortable, brilliant" and have "16-hour" wear that "doesn't dry out your lips" and is "highly pigmented." Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque coverage; some of the vampier shades tended to be sheerer, while the more mid-tone shades tended to be opaque.

The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth, but it was more fluid, and I found that the applicator seemed wont to over-apply. I tried to use one side of the applicator and only lightly patted on the other side if I needed more product to get an even layer of product, but if I used both sides of the applicator, it seemed like too much product.

The brand recommended a "minute or so" to set, and I would agree; it seemed to need a longer period to really get into place to a more transfer-resistant finish. It was more prone to getting on my teeth until it was set, but after it set, I did not have issues with it transferring onto my teeth, but the wait was long-ish in "feel" just sitting there.

Once set, it had a moderately tacky feel but typically did not lift up color. There were a few shades that I found to perform less consistently with the overall range, and these tended to have issues with texture at different stages of wear. It was comfortable to wear, flexible, and non-drying.

I found the wear varied a lot from shade to shade with some shades lasting as little as six hours and others lasting closer to 12 hours. In general, most shades did not get through two meals well. Unsurpising, some of the lighter shades tended to be the shorter-wearing shades, whereas richer and more red-based shades lasted better.

It had a sweet, fruity-floral scent but no discernible taste to me.

Formula Overview

$45.00/0.18 oz. - $250.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "ultra-intense colour with longwearing satin shine in one swipe" that lasts up to "12 hours" and is comfortable for up to "8 hours." The majority of shades I tested had more medium to semi-opaque coverage in one layer, which could be built up by applying a second layer.

The consistency felt more emollient and like a liquid lip balm initially, and within 30 seconds, it transformed to something slightly thicker, denser, and tackier, which helped to keep the product in place better. I also felt like over time, the color seemed to look more even and was less likely to sit in my lip lines, but this could take an hour or longer to be visible.

It was felt rather lightweight and had more of that "satin shine" the brand claimed after an hour or two of wear, and it felt significantly less tacky. There are other formulas on the market that have a similar start and finish in feel (going from something thinner to something thicker and tackier), but the tackiness wearing down faster with Chanel's formula ended up reducing longevity significantly.

The color lasted between five and seven hours with deeper, more pigmented and brighter shades lasting longer than lighter ones. They did not survive that well through a meal, and for something that is marketed as lasting up to 12 hours, I'd expect better survivability. They were very comfortable and hydrating to wear, though, and they left my lips in better condition after wearing different shades over a few days. They had a floral scent but didn't yield a noticeable taste for me.

And no, these are nothing like the previously-released Rouge Allure Laque formula. The older formula has more like a literal liquid lipstick, so it was creamier, thicker, and the formula didn't change or set after a minute or so; at most, it wore down to a more satin to semi-matte finish after a few hours of wear (as any glossier lipstick might). While they share the same name, they're really different types of formulas.

Formula Overview

$12.39/0.08 oz. - $154.88 Per Ounce

The lipstick is supposed to have 8-hour wear, no transfer, "vivid matte color," and a "naked-lip feel." Per the brand, it should "deliver opaque matte color in one coat." Well, "coat" is difficult because of how firm, stiff, and dry the physical lipstick is, so it was not possible to get an even, fluid one-coat and had to really be pulled and tugged the across painfully and then I used my lips to really blend the color together.

I'd recommend using a lip brush or first swatching the top layer of the lipstick on the back of your hand to help soften/warm it up, which made it marginally more pliable on my lips, though still one of the stiffer lipsticks I've had the unpleasant experience of trying.

It felt very lightweight, but the matte formula was clingy and made my lips look drier/emphasized lip texture and caught on flakiness. If your lips are not naturally pretty smooth, I think this would be difficult to make look even and smooth, even with exfoliating.

Once I was able to get past the stiffness, it did have semi-opaque to opaque color payoff, and it was very long-wearing and fairly transfer-resistant, so it did make it through a meal. Most of the shades stained to some degree, too, which helped the longevity and look of the lipstick as it wore down.

The formula was lightly drying overall, though not nearly as drying as I would have expected (nor as drying as it felt in its clinginess). There did not seem to be any scent or taste.
