Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 42 L’Eclatante Review & Photos!
It’s a busy week for me because of my mom’s birthday celebration and we’ll have a family outing at the end of this week. I am happy because I get to spend more time with my family. I usually just spend my week working, and all the monotony. I need a break, or do we? đ
I am feeling anxious not to post anything on this blog this week so here I am typing away! Today’s post is about the prize I won months ago from Bec, of MyGorgeousPinkCheeks and Pond’s! I won Pond’s BB Creams, and this beautiful and luxurious Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 42 L’Eclatante! Even if I am already running a blog, I still love joining different giveaways from my favorite beauty bloggers, and most days, I am lucky! Thank you, Universe! I personally didn’t think that I’ll own a Chanel lipstick, so I was super excited when I learned that I won!
Let’s now take a look!
Gah, the packaging is very nice. I guess that’s a third of what you are paying for. Hihi. To open, you have to push the gold logo, then the bullet will push up to show the lipstick. If I haven’t read Victoria’s post about her Chanel lipstick, it would take me hundred years to figure out how to open this. Lol!
L’Eclatante was described as vibrant pink. For me, it looks like it has some coral tones in it. For my medium skin, it looks a bit light but not Nicki Minaj-y light on me. I can still pull it off. I usually prefer mauve, deep reds, burgundy and berries because they suit me more. This shade is actually perfect for summer so I need to bust this out more to appreciate it better.
The finish is velvet (obviously!). It glides smoothly on my lips, and it is very lightweight. It doesn’t feel heavy even if I apply several layers. Some people prefer otherwise, though. Sometimes, I also like to feel that I have lipstick on especially when I can’t easily retouch.
Since the shade is light on me, it kind of clings to dry patches, and it tends to highlight my lip lines. I would suggest to put a lip balm underneath to remedy this.
Each bullet costs Php 1,650 here in the Philippines, and this shade is currently in stock at BeautyMNL.com. You can find Chanel at Rustan’s Department Stores.
Will I purchase more shades? Not anytime soon. I usually prefer matte lipsticks like MAC’s. This one for me is nice to try but not a must-have in my honest opinion.
Do you have a Chanel lipstick? What shade do you own? Share!

Such a gorgeous packaging pero the colour is not really a must have and as you described it parang not worth the money. My scent ba yung lippie? Thanks sa review! Oh and I love the product photo ang ganda! đ

Has a nice but not that pigmented shade.. it looks dry in pictures as well!

Belated congrats! I think it’s a tube I could stare at for hours. <3 The matte formula for me is ok na, since I've experienced drier matte lipsticks. Sa kamahalan niyan, if it caused my lips to chap, I'd be furious. lol. Their satin finish lipsticks are also nice. Lots of moisture to go around while still maintaining high pigmentation.

haha i couldnt figure out how to open the tube when i went to check these out sa counter! i thought it was cool though, may ala mission impossible spy feel ^^ congrats on winning this and belated happy bday to your mama (if its tapos na). i liked one of their matte shades but i dont remember the name of it. its close to this shade đ but yea since MAC has cheaper but also good matte lipstick id rather go with MAC for now.

Packaging looks gorgeous. Gold body looks precious talaga, and feels like I do not like to use them either but just stare them! đ Anyway, doesn’t have any Chanel Lipstick yet, but I might follow your honest opinion đ
