Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipsticks - We Love

Here at Glam Obsessions, we are addicted, yes absolutely addicted, to lippies.

Balms, glosses, lipsticks, stains etc. You name it. We have it.

One of our absolute favourite ways to wear lipstick throughout the work day is matte (As you probably gathered from our previous Bobbi Brown matte lipstick review). We love how natural matte lipsticks look and we also love how polished and put together they make you appear.

Throughout the years, we have tried out our safe share of matte lipsticks. While we love the finish of these, they always have one big problem. They are extremely drying to the lips and accentuate the fine lines on your lips. This is not the most flattering thing for your lips. They are also quite difficult to apply as their non-creamy formula means you have to drag them across you lips and this is uncomfortable and further distresses your lips and emphasises any imperfections.

We were super excited when we came across this Chanel matte lipstick in 33 La Distinguee. Not only is the packaging and color to die for (Gold + Black = Sleek and Polished), the texture of this lipstick means we can have the matte finish we want with a moisturized creamy feeling lipstick. As the name suggests, it has a velvety feel and look and slides on easily for an even application. We found this shade comfortable to wear but it is not particularly long lasting on the lips.



To open the lipstick, you press the bottom of the lipstick and it pushes itself out of the tube. The tip of the lipstick itself has a fine tip for lining the lips similar to the shapes of the Lancome Rouge in Love lipsticks (more on that later) and this makes application extremely easy and cuts out the need for a liner if precision is needed.

As for the color itself, it is very natural and a color that would flatter just about every skin tone out there. It is very work appropriate and subtle but still provides some color to your lips to avoid looking washed out/ghostly.




Out of a 10, we would give this product 9 stars. The only downsides for this lipstick are its price and the fact that it is not long lasting but we are still excited to purchase more lipsticks from this range!

You can find this lipstick at any Chanel counter at Paris Gallery or Arije stores across the UAE.
