Chanel Kensington Rouge Allure Lipstick

Chanel Kensington Rouge Allure Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “bold and brilliant fuchsia.” The color is inspired by “one of London’s most posh shopping districts.” It is a vibrant pink with blue undertones. The coverage is mostly opaque, and the finish has a lovely natural shine but still looks creamy and lush on the lips. This is a lipstick that really looks beautiful when worn; it just has that really cushiony look, where lips look like pouty pillows.

It’s not a particularly unique color–there are numerous bright pink hues to choose from–but the comfortable wear, five-hour wear, and how it keeps lips moisturized during wear, make it a good pink to choose. MAC Pink Pigeon is brighter, more magenta. MAC Love Forever is more blue-based, so it appears almost purplish in comparison. NARS Schiap is brighter, slightly darker. Milani Rose Hip is brighter. It has a similar look to MAC Florida.

This is a great review! I usually shy away from lipsticks that cost so much but your review and recommendation made me want to give it a shot. Not sure if the colour will work on my skin tone but I will take it for a test drive!

That is such a fresh pink on you! Would this color bring out yellowness in teeth? Mine look okay with a cool-toned red-berry lip color, but I don’t wear light lip colors now.

Oh dear! I made a call to my nearest Chanel counter and to my horror, this range WILL not be in my country (Singapore)!! Oh God someone must help! I need a Custom Purchase!
