I walked by (well, attempted to walk by... I always fail at that) one of my Chanel counters today and got kidnapped. They gave me a quick makeover, so I'm trying out the Rouge Allure Velvet formula and the cream shadow formula for the first time. So far, no allergic reaction on the eyes, which is good news as long as I don't owe you money. The shimmer isn't as pronounced as I thought it would be when I swatched it on my hand.
The RAV feels amazing. Lancome have been my favourite matte lipsticks for a while, but I think that this might take their place. It's not at all drying (and my lips are particularly dry today) and the pigmentation is to die for. Unfortunately, she put some gloss on top and I was drinking a coffee, so I can't give an accurate report on the wear time. As a rule, lipsticks don't last more than a few hours on me, so I don't usually consider length of wear an issue. (I don't care if I have to touch up.) By the time I got home, My lips had faded a bit, but here's a crappy phone pic of me just after she'd finished. I'm wearing La Sensuelle and, even though the photo isn't great, it is a pretty accurate representation of the colour.
