Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet L'eclatante Review, Swatch & FOTD

 

As promised, i'm back with a new review.
Today i'll write a review about my newest addition to my matte lipstick collection, from the Chanel Printemps Précieux Collection for Spring 2013, Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick in  #L'eclatante.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet L'eclatante is a bright pink lipstick that screams spring aloud.

Looking at the color on the tube, i thought it would be a really really bright pink. But no, it's bright, yes, but not too much. In fact it looks gorgeous and luxurious on the lips.

I just love the black and gold packaging, sleek and sophisticated.
It's a matte lipstick that has a creamy velvety texture that glides easily on your lips.
The pigmentation is crazy, you get a full coverage finish in just one swipe. And it's also has a great staying power. It lasted for more than 4 hours on me.

But, sadly, unlike La Fascinante, it enhanced flakes on my lips, also felt uncomfortable after a while. My lips started to feel dry after an hour. You need to exfoliate your lips and put on a lip balm before applying this lipstick.

Well i must say, the drying part is a bit disappointing. I don't experience it at all with La Fascinante, so i had a high expectation to L'eclatante. It's the first Chanel product that i do not fond of :(
