Chanel lipsticks - Rouge Coco, Rouge Allure, etc.

I am dying for a Mythic RA but it's impossible... is there any dupe (or similar) in the RA range?

Karla just tweeted that Chanel will be reformulating the Rouge Allures. The new version will launch in the fall in 18 shades (6 reds). Maybe you'll find something similar to Mythic then. I guess this explains the lack of new RAs recently.

^^ I don't have Flamboyante unfortunately so I couldn't compare. But from swatches I recall Flamboyante had coral undertones which Romantic definitely lacks. Romantic is neutral berry red, no warm or cool undertones. I would say a more subdued version of MAC Craving:


Tope to bottom: MAC All's Fair, Chanel Romantic and MAC Craving

I would say it will look great on everyone but especially on light skin with dark hair, it adds such a great rosy glow

Wow, that is beautiful! I'm going to have to track that one down!!

Any idea what it will be? More moisturising? I look forward to it and hope there are some pretty shades!

 

[Winthrop44]

No, that was all Karla said. I think she was at a Nordstrom trend show where it was mentioned. Don't know what the other details were or if they gave any more than what she tweeted.

I am kinda nervous/excited about the new Rouge Allure formula. They are my absolute faves -- so fingers crossed I love the new formula. Very excited about the new colors!

 

[Winthrop44]

That's how I feel too Michelle. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? But hopefully we'll like the new formula even more. And I'm always happy to hear about new colors.

 

[Miss QQ]

Yup, hope we will like the new RAs more! I'm more looking forward to see the new lipsticks from other brands this time: Dior Addict Extreme, Lancome Rouge In Love and Guerlain RA Shines. I hope they make it to my counters, Lancome don't launch everything here, I never got to see the L'absolu matte.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I'm nervous about the new RA's too! RA's are my fave lipstick formula....well behind RA laques which don't exist anymore :'(

I love the new Dior Addict extreme lipsticks. They are creamier and longer lasting than last year addicts.
The Lancome rouge in Love lippies are ok, kind of dry.

I just bought my very first rouge allure lipsticks last month! Now they are changing my new fav??? Please don't ruin them Chanel...I love them the way they are!!!

 

[Bonitinha]

Yep -- hopefully they don't ruin a good thing by changing the formula! Maybe they will bring back Mythic and some other faves.

I saw the new Dior lipstick/gloss hybrid lippies. I wonder if they are comparable to the RAL's??

Well I am a Dior addict, and a lipstick junkie so i do love the new Dior extremes...BUT, Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick is still better.

 

[QueenOfSnark]

*squirms* I really, really hope the new RA formulation doesn't ruin what's already a good thing as RAs are my fave lippy formula.

The only thing I would change would be to make the shimmery shades as creamy as the non-shimmery ones since the glitter can be chunky and rough against the lips.

With 18 shades (6 reds!) I'll be waiting with bated breath to see what comes out. Maybe I'll be able to get some colors that I've been wanting to try but Chanel DC'd long before I got into the brand (Enthusiast!). I better prepare my wallet for RAgeddon.

 

[katred]

Although I probably prefer the Cocos overall, I love the Rouge Allures and it seems strange that they'd start playing with a formula that has so many fans. Here's hoping it works...

 

[Miss QQ]

I love the Cocos' colour range more. Any chance they are changing the RAs' scent? It is an acquired scent, I didn't like it at first but now I'm used to it and associate it as part of the RA experience, including the clicking.

 

[QueenOfSnark]

^I'm hoping Chanel doesn't change the scent. I prefer no scents at all in my makeup, but my one Dior lippy made me realize Chanel's pretty tame in comparison. If I didn't love the color Nocturne so much I would've returned it in a heartbeat, I nearly gag every time I put it on.

I've always wondered--aside from packaging, what *is* supposed to be the prime difference between the Rouge Coco and Rouge Allure lines?

You could de-scent your Dior lipstick by leaving it open for a day or two, should be much better then.

Rouge cocos were supposed to be more moisturizing. I generally find them the opposite though.

agreed, RC are drier on me that RA's
