This post is going to be short and sweet.
I own many pink and coral lipsticks but my favorite of the bunch is Chanel's Rouge Coco in Chintz. This particular Rouge Coco is creamy and slightly moisturizing, a perfect compromise between hydrating and semi-matte/matte lipsticks. Even though I have dry, sensitive and easily chapped lips, I am a semi-matte/matte lipstick fan so Chanel's RC formula does wonders for me! I love Rouge Allure lipsticks, as the formula is so long-wearing, but the Rouge Coco color range is much better suited to my pink and coral preferences.
Chintz was originally a limited edition piece but since the initial press release, it has been deemed a permanent addition to the RC line. I breathed a sigh of relief with the announcement, as I would have had to purchase at least two back-ups! It is the most flattering pink-coral I have ever worn on my lips. I find that it is difficult to find balanced pink-coral lipsticks, as they either run too pink or too coral. Chintz works with my skintone and brightens up my complexion without adding too much my daily make-up look.
The swatch pictured above is indeed true to color. For a more subdued lip look, I only use one swipe across the bottom lip and press my lips together to spread the color evenly. When I want opaque color, however, I use one swipe across the bottom lip and another across the top lip. The dense pigmentation makes this shade very convenient for daily use!
For those who like a slightly more blue-toned pink, try Rose Dentelle, which launched with Chintz and Chayls, a deep orange-coral. Rose Dentelle is also a touch more moisturizing! I love both but Chintz is the one I can't live without.
And because I always get asked where I purchase my products: I shop at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, or Sephora. If I can't find something at the aforementioned three, I visit Macy*s!

ReplyDeleteso happy to hear this is part of the permanent line. need to get my hands on one. thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteI been debating if I should get this color, It looks gorgeous!!! Then I was checking out swatches on some blogs and it looked so sheer on their lips that made me iffy about it. Is it opaque or sheer?
ReplyDeleteJulie - I saw Temptalia's swatch and couldn't believe how Chintz looked in her photos. My Chintz is very, very opaque!!
ReplyDeleteHave your tried teheran? I heard it is a lovely coral.
ReplyDeleteHey Rae, How does this compare to TF pink dusk?
ReplyDeleteAnon - Pink Dusk is significantly cooler and more matte in texture :)
