Terrifying experience, besides it was an official demonstration with a guy doing my make up… well, I have seen them better at it, really. To me it was all a dull dark navy colour. No mystery, no sumptuousness, no luxury, NOTHING. I have never in my life been this dissapointed with Chanel.

To their credit, I must say the Rouge Allure Lipstick take on the “violent violet” RULES!!! (it is called “Hysteria”). Great colour (well, it’s deep hued and of a rich texture… but beware of fine lines forming at the verge of lips, it needs a lip pencil and/or some concealer or foundation to prevent them). I have also bought the nail lacquer to match… mmm, I think this colour is called “Vendetta”. I’ll tell you when I use it, hopefully for this Christmas going outs.

The other two of the range of Rouge Allure Lisptick, “Obscure” and “Maniac” are supposed to be a dark bourdeux colour and a dark… brown? They proved too much the same on a back hand swap… they do not go well with my beige-clair eurasian skin. Too much on the brown side, the two of them. I’d rather had the Rouge Noir 18 (Hydrabase), has a richer and deeper hue of real dark red.

The matching nail lacquers may prove tricky to combine as they seem much more true to their color than the lipstick ones.

Hope you all find it helpful!
