CHANEL ROUGE COCO ULTRA HYDRATING LIP COLOUR - 432 – CÉCILE & MIROIR DOUBLE FACETTES

Rouge Coco, the icon of house Chanel, is according to my opinion, due to its packaging and texture, one of the most exclusive lipsticks in the world. I like the fact that team behind cosmetic lines is studying the legacy of famous Coco Chanel and, focusing on her life, creating products through which they represent people, places and moments that marked it.

I'm a person who enjoys to explore history, among other things history of renowned fashion houses, life stories of individuals who have founded them and also stories behind each product. If I find them, these tales connects me to it and I no longer observe it as a mere item. That's why it was so endearing to read how 24 of Coco Rouge shades were named after close friends of Coco Chanel, those who simply called her Coco. Some of these names are: Arthur, Adrienne, Roussy, Dimitri, Sari Doré, Carmen, Marthe, Edith, Marie, Ina, Jean, Emilienne, Marlène, Suzzane.

The hues are comprised of reinvented formula for all-day sensoriety and hydration, and itself is a combination of three plant waxes: mimosa, jojoba and sunflower moisturize and nourishes the lips and provides instant and long-lasting comfort, while silicone wax induces a whole new sensuous experience. Softer and more soluble, they glides into immediate feeling of fusion with the lips, and polymeric film along with silicone microbeads encourages lasting hold and boosted gloss.

Lipstick comes in classical black, 3.5 gram package, with a gold rim in the middle and logo on top. Chanel experts recommends, for accentuation and before using the lipstick, to apply Coco Baume (you can read the review here) and tap it with your fingers, then remove the excess with a tissue. The next step is to highlight the lips with Le Crayon Lèvres in identical shade and finally to employ the lipstick, starting from the middle of upper lip toward the corners and downward.

In the first variant I used Coco Baume as a base and realized that my lips were more hydrated. In the second case, I can confirm that the lipstick alone can be worn all day without fear of dried lips.

My choice was 402 – Cècile hue, so unique that it's difficult to conjure up words for it. At first glance is somewhat earthy with traces of sheen, but in contact with the lips it turns into gently radiant pink. When I sought out additional information I was surprised that it's often, as one of her favorite, associated with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. I don't know if this is true, but I was completely charmed and captured by its profound delicacy. I would describe this lipstick as a natural extension of the lips, with a tint that doesn't steal all the attention, but subtly emphasizes them, extracting the innate beauty on the surface and adorning it with exquisite shimmering particles.

It's a real pleasure to look at the lips in Chanel Miroir Double Facettes. Miroir Duo is a mirror with one standard and one magnifying side, a fashion utensil of ultra-flat format well suited for easy handbag placement and designed for precise application and discreet touch-ups at any time. Mirror packaging is also recognizably black and includes wonderful velvety bag with an inevitable logo. I'm exceptionally happy with this accessory, I carry it everywhere and I stopped counting how many times in one day I reach for it to check up my makeup.
