Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss

What am I anticipating this fall? Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss!
I fell in love with Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Dragon and I still am! I normally don't use red lipsticks on regular days but Dragon is an irresistibly sexy shade of red that I could pull off without looking like a clown.

Going back to Extrait de Gloss, I have high hopes for this one given my delight to it's predecessor

These are the deets I've read in karlasugar.net 
Imaginaire (fresh pink)
Insolence (candy pink)
Confidence (rose)
Genie (coral)
Insouciance (nude)
Exces (red)
Emoi (raspberry)
Fatale (brown red)
Impertinence (chocolate)

Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in 75 Dragon

Vavavoom! This is one of the perfect red lipstick I've encountered!
I got this Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in 75 Dragon from Martha for Php1000, sweet deal!^.^
This retails for Php1895 in Rustan's

I often see reviews and photos about Rouge Allure Laque but I rarely see the top Chanel logo, I was surprised to see the logo when I opened the box!

Here's how it looks on the doe foot applicator. I love the black glass tube, it contributes to Dragon's vibrancy! The glass tube is really classy but you have to take good care of this one, you can't use this when you're in a hurry or else you might accidentally drop it. Also, try to wipe the tube off with a clean cloth after use because it's a fingerprint magnet =p 

Here's my Chanel Rouge Allure Laque 75 Dragon swatch

On me, Dragon looks a bit darker than my Shu Uemura RD170 but it's a beautiful stunning solid shade of blood red. It makes my skin whiter with a healthy glow- not white ghostly pale. 
I was surprised with the lightweight texture, it doesn't feel as heavy as it looks. It is one of the better lipstick formula out there in the market, it looks so pigmented and yet it's feather light to wear.

Although I really really love the color and the formula, sometimes I find the lipstick transferring to my teeth =/ I really have to be careful using this. It lasts a good time and when it fades, it leaves a nice red stain just like my Shu Uemura RD170.

After testing Chanel Rouge Allure Laque, I can say this is one of the best lip product I've tried and it really makes me want to purchase Mandarin (reddish coral) and Phoenix (pink)! ^.^ 
Oh wait, my cousin Shirley just purchased me a handful of lipstick from Sephora! Hmmm... Chanel would have to take a back seat for a while ^.^

I'm Lemming for Chanel Rouge Allure Laque Phoenix and Mandarin


Oh no! I'm lemming for these pretty babies... 
Hello wallet, are you still alive? Can you make it? 
I wanna get Phoenix which is a pretty and sexy shade of pink and Mandarin which is more of a reddish coral color.

Love it? Leave it? I want 'em all! <3
But I need to control...

Holiday Gift Ideas for Make-Up Addicts

Here are some of my stocking stuffers when you want to buy a luxurious gift for your makeupholic family and friends ^.^


Benefit CORALista
Can I just say it again that I love coral blushes? I think it's also flattering for almost any skin tone


Benefit's latest release is Sugarbomb; it resembles a lot like Jill Stuart's mix blush


Chanel Rouge Allure Laque is quite pretty!
I love how Dragon looks so blood red and it is a perfect give this festive season



YSL Rouge Volupte Lip Stick
This one's for your gal pal who's not color shy; the color payoff is consistent and it glides on very smoothly



Givenchy Phenom Eyes
This is a curious little creature in my sight; everyone wants to try that sphere shaped wand



Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick
Eek! I'm getting this from Sis Martha next week!
I've been waiting and waiting for good beauty buys; I also tried to get a Stila trio eyeshadow in Gold Glow for Php350 but luckily the seller wasn't responding to my messages and I stumbled upon Martha's sale! Lucky me! The best thing is I just have to add Php150 to a Givenchy upgrade. Good things truly comes to those who wait.


Jill Stuart Lip Stick (I like the Rose Coral one! Looks so wearable)
I love good packaging; with this one you almost don't need to gift wrap because the packaging itself is a gem
This one has a sheer formula compared to the other lippie product on the list so this is great for the color shy.



Same with this one, Jill Stuart Mix Blush
Try to get the other colors with white powder; it can serve as highlighter too!



Jill Stuart Eye Shadow Palette



Almost all Jill Stuart products are in sync with the festive season, don't you think?
It looks so elegant!



Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. 2
If you've got a friend who's starting with her eye make up I think this is a great starter kit
It has almost every color from nudes, black, grey, gold, violet, blue, green
It also has two mini 24/7 eyeliners and a small primer potion
I've got this one and I'm pretty satisfied with it!=)


Stila Smudge Pot Holiday Set
I really love this holiday set too and the box saves you time and energy from wrapping this up
It also has To: and From: printed on top of the box so you just have to write your names on it ^.^
The box's silver snow flake print is also adorable
I accidentally dropped my Starry Night on the floor but the glass jar didn't break! It just bounced on the floor and rolled until it stopped (along with my heart) haha, now isn't that great?


MAC Baroque Boudoir Lip Stick
Aah... The packaging says it all



MAC Lip Stick
Everybody loves their MAC lipstick and it should be great to put a smile on someone's face when you give them a tube of MAC Lip Stick

Hope this helps! I try to incorporate a lot of lip sticks in this stocking stuffer list because almost everybody uses lipstick or some sort of lip product.
Always remember it's not how much the gift costs; it's always the thought of the gift giver that counts the most. =)
