It’s finally here! My first Chanel. I am this close to breaking out into song: “Like a virgin… touched for the very first time! Like a vu-hu-hu-hurgin…” But you don’t want to hear that. 
I might have had a minor heart attack when I saw the total, but I am a very giddy makeup addict.
Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in 78 Phoenix ($39 — oh hi BF I hope you don’t ever see this price tag!) is a medium bright strawberry pink. If you don’t know anything about these (and of course you do know, but I will tell you anyway), Rouge Allure Laques are ultra pigmented liquid lipsticks. The lipsticks gives the appearance of a lipstick and a lipgloss in one.
I got to try it right after I brought it back to work from the Chanel counter. From my experience so far, it is amazingly smooth, non-drying and has no offensive fragrances. It applies as bright as it appears on the wand. The shine lasts for about 2 hours on me, and the colour fades slowly and evenly after 4-5 hours. Dare I say it? Phoenix is crack in liquid lipstick form. 
This is easily my favourite lipstick, but it also costs a little bit more than two MAC lipsticks. However, I will say that it is totally worth my money!

Wow that looks amazing, I think I need to get some of these! Chanel cosmetics are even more expensive here in Australia, you can’t get anything for less than $50.

They are so expensive, and that is exactly the reason why I am hoping to get these as gifts instead of shelling out my own money for them. LOL! They are definitely a must-try!
WHOAA CHANEL *grabs computer and stares deep into the screen* that color is gorgeous on you. It would be nice if they lowered their prices, but I’ve got to say this looks like it’s worth it.

I <3 it!
I have the Dragon Rouge Allure Laque and it is SO pretty, but I feel so guilty using it
it was so expensive so in my brain I feel like I should only use it on special occasions, so now I hardly wear it! It just sits in my stash looking gorgeous

OMG Seriously? You gotta wear it! Dragon is sooo next on my list.
Phoenix looks so good…seriously if I had money I would get almost all the Rouge Laques. I have Ming and really want Santal but not at Canadian prices.
