It has a smooth feel without the slip.Ĭolors are sheer but buildable with pretty good coverage (except the white one which is clear). It’s not as emollient as the Rouge Coco Flash and not quite as creamy as the Rouge Coco Blooms. They are hydrating with an almost waxy feel (but it’s comfortable). These are called the Hydrating Beautifying Tinted Lip Balm Buildable Color. Once it sets it stays put.Ĭhanel launched a new lip balm called the Rouge Coco Baume ($42). On the lids blended it gives a soft pale gold sparkle veil. Ombre Premiere Laque ($36) in Lumiere 46 is a pretty gold shimmer. I initially thought this was going to look like Tom Ford Nude Dip but a side by side swatch shows that Chanel Mediterraneen is warmer with a more luminous quality while Tom Ford’s pulls a bit more frosty/metallic.
Colors are all sparkly and work on my skin tone as a soft all over ombre wash of color. The Les 4 Ombres ($65) in Mediterraneen 747 has four shimmers in champagne, soft gold, sandy bronze and soft taupe. The eye colors this season are right up my alley! The overall tone is neutral, luminous, bright and golden. The effect is similar to that of the other Baume Essentiels – sheer, dewy, adds just a hint of color, but overall more on the transparent side. I know a lot of you love these dewy like balm sticks for a glow on the cheeks or lips. Spring brings a new Baume Essentiel ($45) in Ensoleille.
For skintone reference I’m in the Chanel B40 / MAC NC35 range but I’m on the lighter side as I’ve lost my tan right now. Both are medium in pigment level but easy to sheer out or layer. Peche Rosee is a coral with gold shimmer and Brun Roussi is a darker brownish shade. Each powder is embossed with a pattern that mimics rays of light. Shimmer is very subtle in these for a subtle glow.
They’re soft powders with a buildable texture. I initially thought they were bouncy, but after some thought, I don’t think “bouncy” is the right word. These are soft powder blushes with a unique texture. There are new colors for cheeks called Blush Lumiere ($70 each) in two shades Peche Rosee and Brun Roussi.
