Review | CHANEL Rouge Allure Ink 142 Créatif

You know I love everything Chanel. Whenever I go to anywhere that sells Chanel I'm automatically drawn to the stands. Chanel is my favorite luxury brand. Specially when it comes to lipsticks. I own one that, for a long time, was my go-to lipstick. I would use it every day. I still love it but it was time to get a new one!

This is the Rouge Allour Ink. It's a matte liquid lip colour. But honestly this liquid lipstick is one of the best I've ever tried. It glides on really smoothly, almost like a gloss, but it dries down to a smooth velvety finish. It supper moisturizing and it feels so comfortable on the lips all day long -- much unlike those formulas that almost feel like shrink-wrap and make your lips look all crusty. 

It's available in 12 shades including classic brick red, bright coral, and deep chocolate brown. And I have to admit, I had a hard to choosing one shade to take home. They're all so beautiful! But because it's spring I've chosen shade 142 Créatif. The packaging is really beautiful. I love the frosted glass effect of the tube combined with the classic black and gold lid. So classy.

This is a very liquid-y lipstick. The pigment is semi-opaque and goes on sheer, yet it's easily buildable. The doe-foot applicator is small and very easy to maneuver on your lips, making it easy to create a crisp line all around your mouth.

If you’re looking for one of those liquid lipsticks with a matte finish that’s flat, doesn’t budge, and dries within seconds (like the Kat Von D or Kylie Jenner formulas), this isn't it. It's more luxurious and sophisticated -- this is Chanel, after all. In my experience, it takes a solid 15 minutes to truly set. When it does set, it dries down with a semimatte sheen that makes your lipstick look almost stamped or tinted. I apply it in the morning and I go about my day, and it lasts me the until after lunch, with no touch-ups. I re-apply it after lunch - after brushing my teeth - and often when I get home at night it's still on pretty good.
