Oh that sounds lovely! How's the texture? I was just reading a blog post that mentioned Culte is one of the dry type RCs. Is Avante Garde dry as well?

Avante Garde is the same texture as my Destinee, from the spring collection and Cashmere, which I bought recently because it is a nice neutral.

Yes, when testing out Culte, it did seem drier...and too plumish for me.
I think Avante Garde is my FAV lipstick right now of all brands !!

Dang. I swatched Culte on my hand and I thought it felt OK. At first, it looked too brown, but seen under better light, I really loved the shade. Hope it won't be too drying.

Chanel is a bit of an exception. While we get the seasonal collections later, we seem to get the new product launches early and we get all the colours- including the ones that aren't immediately available in America. Same thing happened with the Rouge Coco Shines.

Same with the Original release of Rouge Coco and the Rouge Allure Velvet. I love that we get lip products early. Though I still wish we got the US blush and quad formula :(

Same, we get new product launches early sometimes. This year was a little messy as we got the Rose de Ultimate collection later.

katred - Hi! I left some posts at the Armani thread - I bought the lipstick and I like it! It's texture gets stickier and drier after a while on the lips, but it doesn't feel drying. Like a much better Rouge Allure Velvet on me.

So I was poking around online looking for info on the new Rouge Allures coming out this fall and found this on La Chanelphile (first breakdown on January Jones' look). Looks like there's a new coral-orange shade coming out named Enjouee. On her it looks pretty close to Exotic. Maybe Enjouee is Exotic's replacement? Then again, re-reading the article it's apparently a matte...but there's already La Ravissante for matte corals. Weird.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed looking at all of those breakdowns. Don't know what the deal is with the lipstick but I see they used the upcoming Beige polish on several of them. I wonder if that lipstick is really a new RA Velvet?

I enjoyed looking at the looks too! What is the colour of the new Illusion d'ombre? It looks gold. The lipstick looks matte to me too, and I thought it's a Velvet.

Culte, Avant-Garde and Magnolia are up on Neiman Marcus and Saks if anyone wants to order.

YAY! I'm so glad you like them. I haven't been on line much in the last little while, but I'm happy to see they've gained another fan.

o_O That's pretty crazy. I hope this RA relaunch is full of awesome, otherwise my RA money may be going to Kanebo Sensai and Tom Ford. Guerlain too, once I finally get around to trying a Rouge G.

There are exactly 5 RAs left on the US Chanel site!
How strange! They're all still there on the Canadian site. Of course, you can't order from the Canadian site, so I imagine that they're keeping them there because they're an accurate reflection of what you'll find in stores.

If anyone wants Magnolia, Culte or Avant-Garde you can get free shipping on Chanel.com with any purchase with the code 2012LOVE. I think it's good thru 5/31.
