Chanel Roman (208) Rouge Coco Stylo ($37.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark, raspberry pink with cool, blue undertones and very fine fuchsia shimmer dusted throughout (it’s not very prevalent). The consistency is lightweight, balm-like, soft and creamy, so it melts as it glides on effortlessly. The texture is thinner than you’d expect, so I didn’t have any issues with it feathering or looking streaky applied. This shade wore for four and a half hours and left behind a moderate stain. It was hydrating both during and after it wore away. MAC Flowerscope (LE, $19.00) is lighter, less glossy (95% similar). ColourPop What If (P, $10.00) is darker, more muted (95% similar).

It had mostly opaque color coverage with a lightweight, emollient consistency that was easy to apply and comfortable tow ear. This shade lasted for four hours on me, while the formula was hydrating.

Formula Overview

Chanel Rouge Coco Stylo ($37.00 for 0.07 oz.) is supposed to offer the “intensity of a lipstick” with the “shine of a lipgloss” and “comfort of a lip balm.” The consistency of this formula is incredibly soft and melts against the lips, so it is easy to over-apply (and subsequently, easy to run through the product!) with a butteriness that you typically find in more emollient lip balms. In general, color coverage is semi-opaque to opaque, with wear coming in at three to five hours, depending on the shade. The formula is comfortable to wear and very hydrating both during and after wear. The downside is that these types of twist-up lipsticks (in the slim casing) tend to contain noticeably less than a standard bullet lipstick (0.10 to 0.12 oz. usually!) and the more pliant formula makes it easy to reapply and run it back and forth more than necessary (for the coverage). There’s a light rose scent to the formula, subtler than the Rouge Allure lipsticks, though.
