Chanel revamped their iconic gloss into a new formula called the Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss ($45 each). As a long time Chanel fan I was thrilled to be invited to preview these at the Chanel Beauty Boutique in Brickell Miami.
OG beautylookbook readers might remember that Chanel sparked my very first blog post back in 2009 with the Celestial Lights Glossimers (RIP). Chanel Beauty will forever hold a special place in my heart. For those who have stuck around thank you so very much! My 20-something self would have never dreamed that this would turn into my career.
I shared some more from the event here. If you’re in Miami this summer I think it’s a super cute pop up to visit!
The new Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss is better than I could have imagined! I didn’t think they could top the last formula but somehow they have. It’s bittersweet to have so many beautiful shades discontinued and I still keep hoping they bring back some of the original shades from many years ago (ie Seashell, Unity, Blizzard, etc.) The new formula is close to the last one but definitely upgraded. It’s somehow smoother with a slightly thinner texture. Very hydrating but doesn’t slide off the lips. Glossy with a high shine. I personally find the pigment to be slightly more opaque with most of the shades I tried.
The Chanel team gifted us three shades in a pouch at the event, but because I have no self control I ended up buying quite a few to bring home with me. I think every single color is wearable. I still have a few more on my wish list, but for now here is a look at what I bought.
Lip swatches below, also wearing:
Cristal is a sparkly semi sheer iridescent pink, no texture of gritty feel with the sparkle
____
Charms is the perfect baby pink, it’s medium-sheer but shows up well
____
Impertinente is a caramel shade (Accessoire is close but more nude)
____
Bijou is the shade the ROUGE COCO HYDRA GLOSS Voice Analyzer said was my match based on my voice, I really love this one!
____
Reflet is a pale sheer lavender pink
____
Superposition is the prettiest peach with some gold shimmer
____
Solaire is a reddish coral
____
Fabuleuse is the sheerest one, it’s a pale yellow, but looks like clear gloss
____
I didn’t have time to lip swatch them all but I hope this gives you a good sense of what the colors look like!
I am 100% obsessed. I already can’t wait for more colors to be released for future collections. They also have new Le Vernis nail colors and the Summer Nights Collection out. I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to swatch or review but I think the nail colors are really beautiful.
You can also see the new Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss in action on the lips here.
If you have an SA you can purchase from or a Chanel Beauty Boutique near you they are selling a gloss case separately that fits 2 lip glosses inside.
Available now at Chanel.com, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Ulta Beauty and all Chanel retailers.
