Chanel Rouge Coco Shine

It's taken me longer than usual to get my hands  on the new Chanel lipstick Rouge Coco Shine, but as of yesterday I finally have one in my happy hands. Last  years's big Chanel release was Rouge Coco lipstick ( now a CEW award finalist) . Rouge Coco Shine is  the new addition.

I like the first Rouge Coco but don't totally love it . It's drier and more satin than I usually like, but the coverage and pigments were wonderful. My favorite Chanel lipstick formula has always been Aqualumiere  and  Rouge Coco Shine seems to merge the best qualities of  both of these. It has the shine and  softness of  my beloved Aqualumiere, and the  rich pigment and  full coverage of Rouge Coco. It's as the saying goes- win win.

Rouge Coco Shine is  very hydrating, feeling almost like a balm on my lips  and lasted longer than expected for a more sheer formula ( about 2 hours). And it isn't super sheer, at least not my shade, Unique.  There is plenty of pigment there.

One of the unique aspects of Rouge Coco Shine is the shine- of the lip bullet. When I took the cap off it had a mirror shine and I thought there was a plastic cap covering it. No, that's the actual lipstick. Quite neat.
