Chanel Les Sautoirs de Coco- Part II

Yesterday I regaled you with the first three products from the all-new Chanel Les Sautoirs de Coco  collection in this post. I adored the light, delicate eye that it produced. Now, let's talk lips.

There are three Glossimers (2 pink, 1 clear), 1 Plumping Glossimer, one Rouge Allure lipstick, and one Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick in this collection. I have both of the pink Glossimers and the Rouge Allure to share with you.

Rouge Allure #166 Indemodable ($37) is a new shade.

I'd call this a beautiful rosy pink with the slightest bits of berry undertones. To me, the berry shows up in the base- it's not a white base like a Barbie pink would be. It's just a lovely, grown-up pink.

Looking around, it's actually close to the pink in my Kate Spade "Eat Cake for Breakfast" mug.

On my highly pigmented lips, it pulls in the range of what I would call a mid-tone fuchsia.  Here is is, out in the sun:

It provides a punchy counterpoint to the collection's extremely delicate eyes.

Here's how it looks swatched under studio lighting:

I adore this shade. It has decent wear time and doesn't irritate my sensitive lips. It's a standout from the collection.


Now, let's talk gloss.


I almost hate admitting that I purchased two glosses because I've railed about not being a gloss person for years. I have only a handful of lip glosses that I use because I don't like the feeling. Somehow Chanel pulls me in every now and then with tremendous gloss releases. The last time that I bought more than one was the Amour collection back in 2012.

Levres Scintillantes Glossimer #214 Pinctada ($30) is a luminous, sparkling midtoned pink with a white base.

This has obvious glitter and sparkle and pairs perfectly with the understated tones in the quad. It provides a spark of life, and it's honestly the perfectly bright pink gloss that every woman should have in her arsenal. It's the first piece that I reached for from the collection. Wear time is the same as every other Glossimer. This is cooler and lighter than its sister from this collection.

It's a chameleon. Here it is outside in cool light:

Inside, with flash:

Levres Scintillantes Glossimer #215 Babiole ($30) is the darker gloss of the two. It's a cream gloss, without noticeable shimmer. I initially planned to pass on it, but once I swatched I was smitten.

It pairs perfectly with Indemondable- and the two could be sisters.

 I don't have a lip shot, but the wear time is the same as other Glossimers.


Alright, time for some group swatches.  First, inside in the studio lighting setup. L-R: Babiole, Indemodable, Pinctada:

If you love pink lips, you'll love the releases from this collection.


Although this isn't a new release, I'll mention the eyeliner that is promoted with this collection: Le Stylo Yeux Waterproof in 912 Ardoise. First released last Spring, I've been meaning to pick it up ever since. I'm a huge fan of this formula (it has improved greatly over the past year or so) and wear it on my lower lash line on a daily basis.

Ardoise is a steel grey that's perfectly paired with the delicate eye that this collection produces. With such light colors, black eyeliner would feel too overpowering.

Finally, a quick word on the several items I didn't pick up. There is also a Rouge Allure Velvet in a peachy pink (La Delicate), and two clear Glossimers were also promoted. After this past holiday's RAV, I've learned that my sensitive lips aren't a fan of the formula; don't expect to see any reviews of this formula on here.

That's it for my wrap-up of this collection. I hope you've enjoyed seeing this brand-new collection and will enjoy. It's the counterpoint to the bright, bold Spring 2016 collection. I'm very happy with my purchases, and am enjoying experimenting with my new setup.
