Chanel Gardenia Rouge Coco Lipstick
Chanel Summer 2011: Gardenia
Chanel Gardenia Rouge Coco Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark rose pink with subtle golden micro-shimmer and shine. The color applies semi-opaque–almost covering my lip freckle but not entirely–and deposits color evenly. Like many other Rouge Cocos, the finish is shimmery and borders on frosty.
It looks like it is slightly less pink than Camelia (part of the permanent range of Rouge Cocos), but I don’t own it, so I couldn’t compare. For a more affordable comparison, you might try MAC Ramblin’ Rose, which may be noticeably rosier, though.
my thoughts on the formula: Rouge Coco is a slightly drier formula, because most of the shades are frost finishes, but I don’t find it drying–it’s just not moisturizing. It has a light vanilla-rose scent that’s rather faint but still detectable. It doesn’t seem to linger, though. On average, Rouge Cocos last four hours on me. I like the formula overall, and the shade range tends to be very wearable with a wide variety of colors from pinks to browns to reds.
P.S. – I already reviewed Sari Dore previously.

Hmm, this one is okay, but just that- okay. It looks like a good everyday color, but if I’m going to spend $32 on a lipstick I want it to be spectacular!
I’m totally with you!
I don’t know, a lot of Chanel shades seem to be every day shade, but when you put them on they ALWAYS look amazing. I’ve never found one that didn’t suit me. Their formula is outstanding.
I have Camelia, and it looks a lot like it 🙂 Somehow prettier, though!
Gardenia looks like a really soft and pretty pink on you but when i wore it (pigmented lips) i looked like a clown.
LOL! That’s what I was afraid of! Well, maybe not the clown part but it not looking good.
I got all excited by the description but it was very warm/orangy and kinda blah. Bummer. But at least I know not to buy it.
I have this and it’s lovely! This was my first Rouge Coco actually. 🙂
Looks like a color I’ve seen many times before.
looks like something i could get from revlon for $7
