I agree, Cambon is one of the two I got (the other one was Teheran) and I friggin love it. It's a nice raspberry pink and super flattering on me (NW25). I had a feeling it would look on everyone though. I can't wait to see how it looks on you

I haven't seen these Rouge Coco but the swatches are beautiful. I think I am going to love Mademoiselle. Does anyone have Gardenia? It is an exclusive shade and looks gorgeous. I agree that Perle is frosty, from the pics, so it is off my list.

Miss QQ, I think Gardenia looks really pretty too. That one looks to be exclusive to Neimans - is that right? I'd love to see it irl but have no Neimans within even 3 hours.

I found Rose Comete too shimmery for me...between that and the light color it just didn't look good on my pigmented lips and I had that neon thing going on on my bottom lip with it that I initially had with Gaga (before I found Bubbles). I like Mademoiselle alot and wonder what others, if any, have that same finish. I wonder how shimmery Ruban Rose is? Karla called it "shimmery", which is the way she described Perle. Hmmm.

Has anyone seen/tried Rouge Allure Laque in Phoenix 78? It gets raves on MUA and looks like a really pretty shade in Nordstrom's online swatch.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I wasn't expecting Rouge Coco to be out yet in the UK, but today I stopped in at the Chanel counter and there it was!

Overall I was a little disappointed with the lack of lighter shades. I ended up getting Ruban Rose, which is a pinky-coral-nude with a little shimmer. I might also go back for Rose Comete, which I tried on and was very pretty (it's a shimmery baby pink). I think I prefer the texture and the packaging of the Rouge Allures though.

Is Ruban Rose as shimmery as Rose Comete in your opinion? It's not that I'm anti-shimmer when it comes to lip products in general, it's just not what I'm looking for in these.

Hmm... Well, thinking about it I would say that both are more 'pearlescent' rather than shimmery. Rose Comete was lighter on me, so it did seem to be more pearly-looking on my lips than Ruban Rose. If you're not a fan of any kind of shimmer though, then I'd steer clear.

Yeah I'm lusting after Gardenia but I don't even know if it will be sold in my country...

I have Phoenix and love it! It is a deep raspberry, not too red or bright such that it goes on too bold. Here's a pic of me wearing it. I'm NC20/25.

MzzRach, how are you liking Rouge Orage? Someone on MUA just recommended it to me as a nice unfrosty one.

I love it! It's a great shade for me, I use it with the Rosey Aqua lipliner crayon which works well with it, at least on my skintone. It's very much a "face brightening" lipstick for me.

Here are the swatches of the lipsticks I received this past week - Mademoiselle on top, Rouge Orage on the bottom. Mademoiselle looks super neutral in this photo, it looks much, much pinker on me. I am NW20 with almost no pigment in my lips.

I've seen the Chanel tattoos in some magazines of late - but it is 75$ USD for I think it is 5 temporary tattoos?
nope.gif
I mean, they are very cool and sexy and Chanel, but I personally would not buy them. I'd rather spend that $$ on more Rouge Coco or Allure lipsticks.

Got to see the coco rouge - I got Rose Comete which is such a pretty light violet pink. I cannot stand the perfume taste to it

I thought most of the colors were fairly dark for my liking.

I also wanted to get the new Hydramax lip care/balm - completely sold out

I checked out ebay to see if I could find pics of the tattoos... you get about 50 tattoos in the package. if you type in tattoo & chanel on ebay you can see pics from some sellers to give you a good idea about how many you get of each tattoo

You are so beautiful! Your lips look amazing in that color! Gardenia is the other color I really liked too.

^^ Gardenia is the Neiman's exclusive, isn't it? You didn't see it at Macys, did you? I ordered it from NM online but it's on backorder with no anticipated date!
