Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick: Antigone and Fétiche

Having tried two shades of Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks a couple months ago, I decided I liked them enough to buy another two, this time in Antigone and Fétiche. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine is a semi-sheer, high-shine, hydrating lipstick. There are currently 18 shades available, and you can find them at all Chanel counters as well as Murale in Canada. Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks feel very much like lip balms: smooth, soft, and emollient. Because of the semi-sheer coverage and the hydrating formula, they don't last longer than perhaps two or three hours, but they aren't meant to be long-wear lipsticks. They feel very comfortable on the lips, and while I wouldn't say they're the most moisturizing lipstick I've ever tried, they are fairly hydrating and are great for those who tend to have drier lips. This is also great for those who like the look of gloss but not the tackiness. Each tube contains approximately 3 grams of product, and retails for $39.

Antigone and Fétiche

Antigone is a raspberry pink with plum undertones and raspberry micro-shimmer. It's a gorgeous colour for that "just bitten" look. It runs very slightly cool, but this would work wonderfully on both warm and cool undertones, as well as fair to medium-dark skintones. Due to the sheerness of the product, this might not show up as well on dark skintones; perhaps a hint of deepened pink. I can see this shade being a staple for fall and winter. Fétiche is a light pink-mauve with gold micro-shimmer. The gold micro-shimmer makes it look almost peachy in the swatch above. It's very much like a mauve version of Boy, which leans more beige. They are, however, the same in lightness. Like Boy, it looks like a better version of your natural lip colour. It does add a tiny hint of pink/mauve, but it's still very natural. This shade will work on both warm and cool undertones, and fair to medium skintones. On medium-dark to dark skintones, this will look like a clear gloss/balm. Because of the neutrality of the shade, however, it will work all year round. All Rouge Coco Shines are scent- and taste-free.
