Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick Swatches (x13)
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick just got a revamped shade line-up with 14 new shades and six returning favorites. Here are swatches of 13 shades that are new/I haven’t reviewed previously! I have two more on the way so stay tuned!
So many gorgeous shades, but in names that are difficult for me to get the spelling of such correctly! Worse yet, the one I am instantly drawn to has a truly BIZARRE name for something that I’m putting on my face: Rupturiste, LOL.
I also love Ardente, Intuitive and Inspirante.
Rupturist sure is beautiful! Let’s call it 71. Though I don’t like calling makeup by numbers, sometimes French is just to much for me. 🙂
Rupturiste translates to “breaker,” so maybe they intend it to be in the sense of “rule breaker,” since all the other shade names seem to be personality traits-Ardente = Ardent, Intuitive is the same in English and French, Inspirante = Inspiring?
A very pinkish leaning set of lippies from Chanel – they look quite good, but I don’t think any of them are really for me.
I grabbed 64. It’s ok. I mean it’s just ok. I’ve had better lipsticks from Chanel. I’ll use it and sheer it out but won’t repurchase. The texture is just not sophisticated enough but rather a 60’s / 70’s Max Factor $3.99 lipstick. It was a nice try though. I’m not alone in my critique of this.

Quite a few of these will get on to my WL in the near future.
Rapturis is probably my favourite, but Intense, Eternelle and Mysterieuse are also lovely. Essentielle might make for a very lovely everyday kind of lipstick. Pity Chanel have Chanel prices 😉
Nice colors and they all look like they performed well.
But my god, the price point. OUCH.
I’ll order La Favorite (43) immediately. It reminds me of Marc Jacob’s Eat Cake. it was my favorite until it was discontinued. I hope it’s a resurrection of my favorite happy shade. Can’t wait to get it.
