Chanel Dreamy White & Flirty Coral Rouge Coco Baume Lip Balms Reviews & Swatches
Dreamy White (912)
Chanel Dreamy White (912) Rouge Coco Baume Tinted Lip Balm ($40.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a transparent lip balm with a hint of shimmer and moderate shine; it was intended to be clear/transparent in its base, which was what it was.
The texture was lightly emollient–it looked glossier than it actually felt–and lightweight, which ensured it was comfortable to wear. It lasted for about two hours from what I could tell and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview
$40.00/0.1 oz. - $400.00 Per Ounce
It's a tinted take on the Rouge Coco Baume formula, which is intended to be a hydrating lip balm base. The tints ranged from semi-sheer to medium, but for the limited shade range that has debuted, I felt like I was able to see the distinction between most of them. The texture was smooth, lightly emollient, and comfortable to apply to wear while feeling quite lightweight.
For as shiny as they appeared, they didn't slide around nor feel that emollient on my lips. I appreciated that they were forgiving of lip texture, generally, though they could have softened the look of lip lines a little more. They were lightly hydrating, which I tend to find to be true of formulas like this one where they are lightweight, thin, and don't adhere for long. These lasted two to three hours on me and definitely had to be applied frequently to stay shiny as the shine wore down in an hour or less.
They had a soft, floral scent, typical of Chanel, and no discernible taste.

Flirty Coral (916)
Chanel Flirty Coral (916) Rouge Coco Baume Tinted Lip Balm ($40.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a soft, light-medium coral with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and a lightly glossy sheen. It had semi-sheer to medium color coverage, which applied evenly to my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines or catch on lip texture.
The texture felt smooth, lightly emollient, and lightweight with a thinner feel overall. It stayed on well for three hours and was lightly moisturizing over time.

Flirty Coral looked good to me until I checked the dupe list and saw that I have one, and I never wear it: MAC French Silk.
To be honest, I don’t think I would buy a lip balm from Chanel – more like Burt’s Bees or Dermal. A very expensive lip balm for sure.
I so agree! You can get a drugstore lip balm or gloss for under $10 for the same effect (maybe even better!). I so miss those Revlon Lip Butters for this reason.
While they look nice I’d never pay that much for something I can barely see. They do make for a polished look, but so would most lipbalms or glosses, I think.
