I took the plunge and ordered Teheran after a lot of debate. I got it today and I am so happy with it! It's beautiful. It's frosty, but it still works and it's perfect for Summer. :eyelove:

This shade is a beige with a lot of rose in it...not a brown neutral, but a soft, warm pinky beige. Nicer than superstition from the Spring collection, IMHO.
Got my Avant-Garde today and I agree, although I still like Superstition too. Thanks for raving about it.

Aaaah! Thank you Winthrop! I'm so glad they aren't getting rid of the RA formula. I wish there were some more nude/beiges though, I need a backup of Mythic.

I think Gracile is less nude than Mythic from the colour swatch, but we never know until we see it in person. I commented in the fall thread on the new RAs, oops, but in short I'm excited to see the new colours!

Potential day 1 buy:
Exaltee - Intense fuschia
Inimitable - Intense pearly red (hope they fixed their shimmer shades so they're not as gritty)

Will need to see swatches:
Gracile - pink-beige
Rouge Noir - violine brown
Determinee - black-red

Would like, but need to see how it compares to RAs I already have:
Incandescente - Fire red (need to compare to Audace)
Coromandel - Orange-red (PLEASE be like the laque! Also need to compare to Audace.)
Palpitante - Raspberry red (Need to compare to Rouge Byzantine. Totally read this as Palpatine...give in to the dark side! <_<)
Enjouee - pink coral (need to compare to Hyde Park, Coquette, and Flamboyante)
Excentrique - intense apricot (need to compare to Exotic)

I thought Rouge Noir and Passion were already part of the line? Not sure about RN, but Passion is for certain a regular item up here in Canada.

EDIT: Rouge Noir is listed as a Rouge Coco shade. I'm sure there would be absolutely no possibility of confusion having two shades with the same name in two different formulas...

Yes, we have Rouge Noir here as a Rouge Coco too. How bizarre. Not sure about Passion. I see MUA reviews of it by people in the US but I don't remember it myself. I think maybe it was discontinued awhile before this most recent purge of all but the 5 remaining ones.

I bought 2 rouge coco's at bloomingdales today. First was Culte. I went to the counter swatching every RC they had to see how things look on my skin and I chose that one first. It's gorgeous. The MUA said 'Oh, the new one'. I didn't even realize it was new. I know I've seen swatches, but I guess they did nothing for me online. It's unique to what I have. It's like my lip color, but deeper. Natural without being boring and making you go 'what's the point'. Love, love, love it. The other RC I bought is Sari Dore. Now, I bought this online back when it came out and then returned it. For some reason, I thought it looked crazy on me. I tried it on today and loved it. It looks better on me than Teheran, so I don't know what I was thinking. :crazy: Very, very happy with my purchases. Don't ask me how many Chanel lippies I have. :lol:

Chanel lipsticks are so easy to wear, esp. the Rouge Coco. When a woman wears a rouge Coco, she is never stared at. That's a good thing ! " Culte " is really pretty it has a soft finish, wearable on any occasion. " Sari Doré " well I just know the name, must be great too !

Ladies I am from Canada so I don't know. Where do you buy your Chanel? How much do the Rouge COCO and Shines cost?

I definitely have to get Culte. The first time I swatched it, I thought it just looked really brown and blah, but then I saw it in natural like and it was like

It's beautiful!! I can imagine it looks lovely with your colouring, Shontay.

I also get a little nervous thinking about how many Chanel lippies I have... More than any other brand except Mac and a lot of that is because I just have a much longer history of buying Mac.

If you guys love Culte, check out the new fall RC, (45) Caractere, it's gorgeous. It's lighter but in the same color family.

Do you think that it will be universally flattering or more for one type of skintone?
