Review: Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Candeur

I got a Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in the shade Candeur at the same time that I got the Chanel mirror I wrote about in a previous post. And this was actually the first time I tried Chanel lipsticks. So I was rather pleasantly surprised by how creamy the lipstick was, and how nice it felt on my lips, almost like a lip butter or something. So not only does this lipstick turn my lips into a very pretty and natural looking color, it also seems to be keeping them very well hydrated, which I really, really like.

The coverage is not excellent though, so if you are reading this and want a lipstick that gives you full coverage, I'd probably go for another lipstick instead.

I'm not sure the higher price you pay for Chanel lipsticks are really worth it though. The Chanel Coco Rouge Shine is definitely a nice lipstick, I am not denying that at all, but on the other hand, it's not something very special or out of the ordinary either. So I am not sure I will be getting this lipstick again, unless I find a really good deal on it or something. But I would like to try more Chanel lip products when given the chance!

I must also say that the packaging makes a huge difference when it comes to the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine, it's very sleek and chic, like you would expect from a Chanel product I guess, so I do feel it's special to pull this lipstick out of your bag on a night out, which is nice, of course!

Shopped: What I got at the Strawberrynet makeup sale

Strawberrynet, a site for beauty products that has quite awesome prices normally, had a great sale on makeup during the last week, so of course I couldn't resist picking up some products I had been curious about for a while. There was a lot of good stuff on offer, since their makeup sale was for all their makeup products, but I ended up getting this:

A Chanel Double Facettes mirror. Always handy, since I am currently using only one mirror for makeup, a really old Marc Jacobs one (you know, the heart shaped ones), and another one could come in really handy, since I could carry it with me to work and stuff. An isn't a pocket Chanel mirror the most glamourous kind of pocket mirror you can find?

A Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Balm. Because I always seem to need lip balm, and making it a bit more glamourous with a Chanel one can't be a bad thing! (I just hope it's actually good too)

Another Chanel lip product, something called the Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine, in the color Candeur. Because I like pink, sheer lip products that look just like this!

The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer. Because I've tried it, and really liked it, before. (Read why) So obviously I need another one!

The Dior Addict Color Awakening Lip Balm. Because I figured I might like this one too, if I'm such a huge fan of the Lip Maximizer. The only thing that could be slightly tricky about this is that I don't know what color my lips will turn with this (it varies from person to person, you see), since I haven't had a chance to try it, so it was a bit of a risky purchase, but let's hope it will be okay!

A YSL Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick.
The one I got was in the color Juicy Grapefruit, a shade I've tried and really liked before though, but they don't seem to have that shade in stock anymore, so I can't find a pic of the right product. The one in the pic is called Dewy Papaya. But I'll take some pics when I recieve this instead!

I'm really happy with my order, it turned out to be a very good mix of old favorites that I love, and some new products that I have been wanting to try for a while. What more can you ask for?

On my wish list right now

In case you guys are looking for new products to buy, here is a list of some of the things I am currently lusting for myself:

- Rodial's 5 Minute Facial

I never thought such products would work very well, but after falling completely in love with the Bliss Steep Clean 15 Minute Facial (read more about why here), I would love to try some more home facial type of treatments.

- The Yes To Tomatoes Clear Skin line, like the cleanser.

I simply love organic products, and have been curious about this line for a while now. So getting the whole line would be great, since I love trying whole sets at once, but if in a pinch, just one of the products would be great too.

- Chanel's Quadra eyeshadow with several neutral shades.

Because I've always wanted to give Chanel products a try. The packaging of Chanel products must be the most luxurious in the world after all, so if the products are good too, they must be simply amazing! And isn't it so much more fun to pull out high end products like these out of your makeup box?

- A Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipstick, in a neutral, useful every day shade.

For the same reason as the Chanel eyeshadows, really, just to try some Chanel products out.
