| Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in La Fascinante |
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet lipsticks are a series of matte lipsticks which offer velvety lip colour. The coverage is opaque, the formula is dense but creamy. Some people find it too dry, I don't, but then dry lips are not my issue so I'm not particularly concerned. I love the fact that is spite of being creamy and opaque the formula is extremely lightweight (it feels like you're not wearing anything on your lips at all). And most importantly, the lipstick stays on your lips for hours (about 5 hours of constant talking and the lipstick won't budge, then it starts to call for improvements).
La Fascinante is a beautiful lipstick, bold vampy red. The colour is so daring that even I hesitate whether wearing it is appropriate and I'm not faint hearted at all. I usually end up wearing it for my hubby at home, hehe.
The first two swatches were photographed in direct sunlight.

La Raffinee (below) is on the other hand a calm nudey dusty rosy pink with hints of beige. It reminds me of my favourite Chanel Rouge Coco Mademoiselle, very similar shade with different formula. This shade is definitely much more wearable and I use it a lot.

The only thing that doesn't appeal to me is the packaging. It's a beautiful, classy black metal thing where the lipstick is held sort of upside down and opens with a click. I'm a fan of the traditional, almost vintage design of most lipsticks so this design is simply not my taste.
