Chanel Rouge Frais Baume Essentiel Review & Swatches

Rouge Frais (67)
Chanel Rouge Frais (67) Baume Essentiel ($45.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a translucent, light-medium, rosy copper with moderate, warm undertones and fine, golden pearl paired with a dewy sheen. In my experience, this formula really works best as a highlighter or lip balm, as it has no staying power as an eye product (it is marketed as a multi-tasking formula!).
- Sheer coverage (as marketed)
- Balmy, emollient, spreadable
- Applied fairly evenly but best with a brush to avoid lifting base products
- Lasted ~6 hours as a cheek product, ~2 hours as a lip balm, almost no longevity as an eye product

Gigantic waste of $’s. Gets a big Nope from me!
Yikes, for that price and with that abysmal rating, I’d be happier with the Sephora Rouge Lacquer lipsticks!
It looks very light on as a blush, possibly a hightlighter and a very expensive lip balm. Not the best from Chanel.
At least it looks interesting in the tube?
