Chanel Sari Dore Rouge Coco Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a lightened orange with a little peach that has a lot of white micro-shimmer and a semi-frosted sheen.  It applies nearly opaque, and it has a very reflective finish, so it can be worn by itself quite easily without looking flat.  It is a new and limited edition shade from the Cote d’Azur Collection, which is online-only at this time–but you never know if it’ll pop-up in-stores (as SoHo eventually did, at least at select locations).

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.

FINAL THOUGHTS: This is one of the more wearable versions of orange I’ve come across; I actually think it may be an orange that’s appropriate for even cool skin tones, because it doesn’t pull too orange.  The Rouge Coco formula is most suitable for those with relatively healthy lips; if your lips are dry and cracking, I would recommend opting for a more moisturizing formula (perhaps Rouge Allure, if you want to stay within Chanel).

I have Sari Doré since this past summer and I am OK with it but it pulls more neon on me (my lips are more pigmented). And you’re right, now my lips are dry and when I tried it a few hours ago it just didn’t look right… went for MAC Drive Me Wild instead. To me it’s a great color for summer!

I completely agree with your final thoughts. I’m surprised this looks so good. Had I only based my impression on the tube alone, I wouldn’t have thought much about it. But thanks to your swatches, I’ll definitely check it out in stores if I can get my hands on it.

On a not-so unrelated note, are you going to review the Chanel Ombres Perlées eyeshadow palette?

I love these Coco Rouge lipsticks! Such a splurge, but well worth it, and the colours are amazing.

I thought Sari Dore was part of the permanent collection, though, but perhaps that’s just Australia? Anybody know?

Hi, so this is fairly random but I need a few suggestions on MAC lipsticks. Well lipstick colors in general, unfortanetly I have darker well carmel skintone and I’d like a nude/pink lipstick just for school. And you are my favorite blogger well guru in general, so yeah. Thanks 🙂

I believe this is not LE in Asia, I have seen this in the counters since the Rouge Cocos are here. But, some colours like Rouge Noir are not available in Asia so I think this LE/available here there everywhere thing really depends on the country. It looks great on you though 🙂

If Rouge Coco is not moisturizing and you say to go with Rouge Allure if staying in Chanel………then what is your fav for a moisturizing, lasting lipstick that does not leave lips feeling dry after it rubs off?

Thx
Rhonda

@TheGlitterGeek Eh. Same same 😛 I just want something summery. I figure if Calypso shows up coral, I can get both and they’ll be different?
