Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme Review

Happy Almost Weekend Everybody. My love for Chanel lipsticks goes on because you can never have too much Chanel makeup (lol). This time, let’s talk about another one of their latest Fall releases, the Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme ($37). If you’re familiar with the Rouge Allure Velvet lipsticks, which is Chanel’s line of luminous matte lip color, well, this newest Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme truly takes the extreme form of that.

This lipstick has the same shape and form of the Rouge Allure Velvet, including its click-release type of casing, but it sports a sleek matte black appearance. The formula is definitely way more mattifying than the Rouge Allure Velvet and it has a slight powdery feel due to its Rice powder ingredient. That powdery texture kinda reminds me a bit of the other Chanel lip product released this Fall, the Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder (reviewed HERE). At first swipe, this Velvet Extreme feels a bit drying but it does glide easily on the lips. I thought this lipstick would dry my lips after a few hours of wear, but I was surprised to see that this actually didn’t. It does kinda emphasize the lips’ fine lines, but not so much so since it melts and sets on the lips once it gets in contact with normal body warmth and temperature. I actually like the way it looks on my lips.

Modern – nude-beige

ร‰ternel – nude-mauve, very similar to Modern above, but this pulls on as more mauve, a perfect nude if you have pigmented lips.

Extreme – wine-red

Lasting power is impressive. The Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet already stays on my lips for hours and hours without reapplication, but this particular Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme stays on even longer. The colors from this newest Chanel lipstick line are just beautiful, even though there aren’t many, yet you could still definitely find a few shades for each season. I do believe that this lipstick is definitely meant for Fall and Winter. The pigment is just intense while being matte, and its antioxidant formulation is meant to withstand the outside elements. Now, that’s my kind of lip color!

Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder Review

Hello. As promised, I finally tried one of Chanel’s latest lip releases this Fall – the Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder ($30). This unique, squeezable, and powder-like liquid lipstick has a creamy feel upon application and it sets into a soft blurred matte finish. It has a sponge applicator for easy application (kinda like Too Faced’s Melted line of lip products) and it has a very faint floral scent.

This liquid powder lip color glides effortlessly on the lips and it has a creamy cushiony yet powdery feel. It then sets into a blotted/soft-focus matte that stays on the lips very well without smudging. The pigment is impressive and almost all of the six shades are so pretty. The darkest shade (Avant-Gardiste) lasts six hours on me even after having a meal, and one of the lightest shades (ร‰vocation) though patchy at first is still long-wearing.

This liquid powder is great for creating an ombre lip and even though it is mattifying on the lips, it doesn’t make my lips dry at all and it doesn’t emphasize my lips’ fine lines so much. I do feel like there seems to be a slight difference in the formulation for each color as each seems to apply differently on me. For example, the lighter shades kinda pill a bit on me during application, and are also kinda patchy, though they set well on my lips afterward. The darker shades, however, are impressively staining, not patchy and they don’t pill. The application was seamless and super easy.

Avant-Gardiste – Deep blue-toned red, appears like a soft blurred vampy shade

I highly recommend this innovative Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder for its pigment, color range, and its soft-matte effect. They feel weightless on the lips and they are long-wearing. If you love the matte texture on your lips but hate the drying feel, then you’ll be happy with this one. For me, this is one of the best liquid lip powders I’ve ever tried so far. Great job Chanel Beauty!
