Chanel launched a brand new lipstick referred to as 31 The Red ($195 every) impressed by their iconic tackle 31 Rue Cambon in Paris. There are 12 lipstick shades complete packaged in a surprising re-fillable glass lipstick case that mirrors the Artwork Deco staircase in Gabrielle Chanel’s house. Every lipstick additionally comes with a quilted black case to guard the glass. This is likely one of the most luxurious lipsticks launched so far. Out there now at Chanel.com.
Refills can be found at $80 each however they can’t be used with out the case (there’s a lock/twist mechanism inside the bottom which wants the lipstick case to twist up).
So lots of you could have been asking me to evaluation these. As a long-time die arduous Chanel fan and collector I knew I needed to buy at the least one. I ended up shopping for a number of to attempt to at present I’m sharing all of my ideas after placing them to the take a look at. First here’s a take a look at all 12 shades.
1 Rouge Beige
2 Cruise Pink
3 Rouge Roman
4 Pink Blur
5 Pink Prime
6 Imaginary Pink
7 Personal Pink
8 Pink Fetish
9 Pink Swimsuit
10 Byzantine Pink
11 Rouge Coromandel
12 Rouge 2.55
In order for you a better take a look at the show, case choices and extra I posted an Instagram Reel of the shop shows and setup. We now have a Chanel Magnificence boutique in Tampa so I ended by to swatch all the colours since they’re unique to Chanel.com and Chanel boutiques. In shops they’ve a boxed Coffret Set you possibly can customise and decide a leather-based case (white, black or silver).
Listed below are my ideas on the brand new lipstick:
Components is actually distinctive. It’s essentially the most beautiful method I’ve ever tried. It’s the very best basic satin lipstick method I believe that has ever been made. Texture is clean and comfy. They glide on the lips flawlessly. Pigment is opaque and wealthy. It adheres properly to the lips. They’re softly scented with a floral scent but it surely’s fashionable and delicate. They’ve Gardenia Oil and have fairly good lasting energy.
Packaging is gorgeous. The Chanel 31 Le Rouge instances are precisely what you’d anticipate from Chanel. Thick, weighted, sturdy, constructed like a murals and with a magnetized cap. The glass resembles the tremendous thick glass of tempered glass (just like the duraclear glasses you discover at Williams-Sonoma). I believe the separate pouch is gorgeous too.
The pigment can also be actually lovely. They’ve a micronized pearl making them luminous on the lips, though just one has seen shimmer. The most important draw back in my view is the restricted coloration choice – they’ve one lighter impartial and eleven bolds. Whereas it is sensible that they centered totally on basic reds, I want they’d launched extra neutrals, delicate pinks even some mauves. A handful of you instructed me the lightest shade was going to be too gentle for you and the second lightest choice was straight up orange.
I ended up choosing 5 shades to attempt to listed below are my ideas on every of them.
1 Rouge Beige
1 Rouge Beige is the lightest shade and it’s a pearlescent beige. I like it though it’s pale and is a bit of bit on the sheer aspect (at the least in comparison with all the opposite colours within the lineup). This shade jogs my memory of one among my favourite Tom Ford Lipsticks from my early days of running a blog Within the Buff and Pink Dune. It’s not as seen in pictures however in actual life you possibly can see it on the lips so much higher.
Make-up worn:
_______
2 Cruise Pink
2 Cruise Red seemed promising as a wholesome coral peach, however on my lips it’s actually orange. It’s a vibrant coral that has a summery vibe. I do assume you possibly can tone down the colour by calmly dabbing it versus swiping it on the lips.
_______
3 Rouge Roman
3 Rouge Roman is my second favourite shade. It’s almost inconceivable for me to put on purples on the lips as a result of I can by no means discover the suitable undertone. Most are both too brown, too crimson, or too purple. I believe this one has simply the right combination to really appear like a plum/mauve on my lips.
_______
4 Pink Blur
4 Red Blur is a vibrant heat crimson orange. Swatching it in retailer made me assume it could be a heat coral however on my lips it undoubtedly pulls extra reddish. It’s so vibrant it’s nearly a electrical neon form of shade.
_______
10 Byzantine Pink
10 Byzantine Red is a brown plum. There are 3 darker plum tones and so they all seemed actually fairly in retailer. It was arduous to slender down my decide because the nuances between every of them are slight. I debated between Rouge Byzantin or Rouge 2.55 determined to go for the one with extra brown tones. It’s lovely.
Are they well worth the value? I actually assume this is determined by your finances and private choice. I had a chat with a number of pals in regards to the value just lately – we talked about how some don’t have any hesitation dropping $200 on a fragrance, cashmere sweater, skincare and so forth, however not a lipstick or a make-up palette.
I don’t know that I’ll ever assume a lipstick is value a $200 price ticket, however when you love Chanel or discover a coloration you actually love, I believe the 31 Le Rouge Lipstick will make a gorgeous collector piece. It’ll really be a particular splurge deal with. The packaging is actually beautiful and method is outstanding. A part of me needs they’d extra neutrals or delicate pinks, however I’m completely happy to have at the least 1 impartial.
Out there at Chanel.com and Chanel Boutiques.
