Beauty Care: Chanel Rose Audacieux & Rose Impulsif Rouge Allure L'Extrait Lip Colours Reviews & Swatches

Rose Audacieux (838)

Chanel Rose Audacieux (838) Rouge Allure L’Extrait Lip Colour ($55.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, darker raspberry pink with subtle, cool undertones and a satin sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly across my lips but wasn’t quite as forgiving of lip texture/imperfections compared to other shades, though it was certainly comfortable to apply and to wear. It stayed on well for seven hours and left a faint stain behind, while the formula was hydrating to wear.

Formula Overview

$55.00/0.07 oz. - $785.71 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "satin" finish with eight-hour wear (and 12 hours of hydration) and an "ultra-high concentration of pigments" and a "deeply moisturizing complex." The range was quite pigmented with most shades delivering fully opaque coverage in a single layer, though there were a few exceptions.

The consistency was smooth, creamy, and lightly emollient without too much slip, so it stayed in place without feathering on me, but it was a "thicker" and denser formula compared to most Chanel lip color formulas I have tried; this wasn't a good or bad thing, but it was a departure worth noting for those familiar with prior lipstick releases from the brand. I felt this thicker formula did help to soften my lip lines and yield a very flattering look on my lips, though.

Most shades lasted at least four hours with some shades lasting closer to six hours but eight hours of decent wear would have been a stretch. Eight hours with some remnants of color? Possibly with some of the bolder hues (e.g. a red). The formula was comfortable and hydrating to wear, and I definitely felt no need to hasten to get lip balm after one wore off.

The lipstick had a subtle, floral scent (I didn't notice it after I applied it, mostly in the tube) but no discernible taste.

Note: this is a refillable lipstick, so the price reflects the cost of the case and the lipstick shade (cases are not currently available on their own). Refills are $40 each at the time of publishing.

Rose Impulsif (844)

Chanel Rose Impulsif (844) Rouge Allure L’Extrait Lip Colour ($55.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, almost neon, pinky-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth with some density, which was forgiving of lip texture and lip lines, but gave me a bit of streaking along the outer edges due to the slip. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for almost six hours and felt hydrating over time.
