Beauty Care: Chanel Blast & Surprise Rouge Coco Bloom Lip Colours Reviews & Swatches

Blast (146)

Chanel Blast (146) Rouge Coco Bloom Lip Colour ($40.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep, burgundy-red with subtle, darker red pearl strewn throughout a more luminous finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without settling noticeably into my deeper lip lines.

The texture was lightweight, moderately emollient but not too slippery (it didn’t feather/bleed on me), and was comfortable to wear. The color stayed on nicely for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$40.00/0.11 oz. - $363.64 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "intense colour" and a "high-shine finish" that is "longwearing" and "hydrating." The majority of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque coverage with a few having more translucent coverage. The color typically applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging or settling noticeably into my lip lines.

The texture was emollient, more like a lipstick-lip-balm hybrid with moderate slip and a tendency to be more yielding as it warmed up against my lips, though it didn't start off stiff or firm either. I found that most shades were flattering on my lips as they were more forgiving of imperfections in texture.

While they weren't particularly long-wearing--more like three to five hours with deeper, red-based shades lasting the longest--they were comfortable, moisturizing, and not prone to feathering/bleeding. They had a floral scent but no discernible taste.

Surprise (148)

Chanel Surprise (148) Rouge Coco Bloom Lip Colour ($40.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep, pink-red with cool undertones and a luminous finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which didn’t build up to full coverage, though the color applied evenly and smoothly across my lips. I was impressed by the evenness as a lot of more balm-like formulas in this type of color tend to settle into my lip lines visibly.

The consistency felt emollient with moderate slip, but it didn’t slide around too readily during wear. It wore well for five hours, left a faint stain behind, and felt moisturizing while worn.
