Aside from the quality, one of the biggest reasons I'm drawn to Chanel products is the packaging. Black with gold detailing, and the classic Chanel logo: beautiful!
Here is a look at Flirt swatched on my arm. As you can see, it has a high sheen and isn't entirely opaque. I like this because it makes it something you can easily use on-the-go or for a more natural look. No lip liner or precision needed!
Here is a look at Flirt on my lips:
Now while I am pleased with this purchase and will definitely use it a lot, I find the Rouge Coco Shine formula to be very similar to the Revlon Lip Butters. Thus, I really don't think you need to splurge for the Chanel product unless you are looking for a certain shade the Chanel line offers (that Revlon doesn't). Just my personal opinion! I probably won't be purchasing any more of these, considering the price. One is enough!
This product retails for $32.50 and can be purchased wherever Chanel products are sold!
Would you wear it?
xx, Allison
perfect everyday color! i think it is definitely worth the splurge

Gorgeous lip colour. :)
ReplyDeleteThats going to be such a pretty spring color! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty on you, but yeah for the price no one needs a bunch of these. The occasional treat is enough. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely, but the price is really high. I still hope we'll get the Revlon Lip Butters in my country...

Lovely colour but I don't think I could afford more than one - I don't even have one yet! I really hope we get the Revlon Lip butters in the U.K soon, would you say that this shade is similar to any of the Lip Butter shades? xx

You would expect a better shade name from Chanel- "flirt" sounds so typical to me.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful natural color. I own 2 rouge coco shines - and I love them. But I definitely agree that their consistency is similar to Revlon's lip butters (which I am obsessed with) - but I think that the coco shines last longer on my lips than lip butters do.

I love the Rouge Coco Shine's, I have Boy and I really want to get some more but I think I'll wait until the Revlon Lip Butters come to the UK so I can compare them :)

ReplyDeletei would wear it if i was willing to spend the money.....which im not! hahaha love you allison
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so honest! I love it! And I love my Revlon Lip Butters. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this color, and I totally agree about the packaging, just gorge! I really wanna try the satin lip color in Kensington. It look like the perfect summer color!

I love chanel lipsticks...they will always make me remember playing with my mom's make up. And I just think it's such a nice feeling to have a luxury product here and there! But I find it so refreshing to hear that you feel like one is enough and you won't purchase another one, I find so many bloggers out there will never discourage anybody from purchasing anything!
ReplyDeleteI have actually just started a blog myself and while I hate to advertise myself, I would really be honored if you stopped by :)

oh, I can't wait to try the Revlon lip butters!!!!! Revlon is not sold in my home country :(
Pretty, but WAY too expensive! You could buy about 5 lip butters for that price. I wouldn't be surprised if the formula was exactly the same, and really all you're paying for is the Chanel name and logo.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your running Allison! You've inspired me to start running too and you've already taught me a lot. I have really bad ankle pain too, but I got some good shoes with GOOD insoles and I've had no pain thus far!
If I had the money I would wear it for sure...but college on a limited budget only allows for me to get one thing and i am working on building my foundation atm. I would love to get it though in the future!!
ReplyDeleteThe price of those chanel lipsticks in america is the equivalent of a mac lipstick here in australia. Since cosmetics are so expensive here, if I came to america i'd probably buy all the chanel lipsticks haha
ReplyDeleteYes, I would wear it, but probably not for the price. Thanks Allison!! www.lovelobeauty.com
ReplyDeleteoh this is SOO SOO pretty i wud def wear it!
ReplyDeleteHi Ali, I'm from Brazil and is a pleasure to always watch you channel! I'm really interesting on BB cream, can you do it a review about it?! Thank you so much! xoxoxx
ReplyDeleteI love that...thanks for the comparison, I need to go check out the lip butters..

I love these. I just got one as a present in color Bonheur and I love it. This color is so pretty too.
ReplyDeletebeautiful colour and thanks for the heads up about it being similar to the revlon lip butters. I have to get me one of those to try *been hearing so much* I think I will skip the expensive chanel and just invest in a bunch of those. Though I must say that colour looks fabulous! what would you suggest for the dupe in the lip butters?
ReplyDeletethanks bunches

The color looks great with your skin color. Curious to see if it would look good on tanned skin.
ReplyDeleteunfortunatelly here in Greece Revlon isnt available. i would love to do a swatch if sb is interested.
ReplyDeleteanyway, i own one chanel in boy and i LOVE IT
interesting post! I was deabting wether or not i need this colour. Could you possibly compare it to MAC's Flamingo lipstick from the Iris Apfel collection?
ReplyDeletethanks!
I love this! I can't buy the Revlon lip butters, because I live in Norway, so I'm probably going to have to splurge on one of these :)
ReplyDeleteI bought Boy as soon as the shade came out, it was a single-shade limited edition at that time. And I completely ran out of it a few months later. I love the formula and I love that you can reapply it throughout the day without a mirror. But I can totally agree with you in the price tag of these Rouge Coco Shines. Unfortunately i can't seem to find Revlon retailers where I live so that's sad cause I've been craving to try some Color lip Butters!
ReplyDeletehey i was wondering if you would do a video on ur college expierience especially that you live away from you family im planning on moving to a different state for college and was wondering how u delt with it
