Ever since I started blogging, I plan my weekends based on the availability of sunshine. Last weekend was a sunny day so I took the opportunity to swatch the Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss which are my all time favorite lip glosses. Trust me, I am not biased just because they are by Chanel. I have had a fair share of lip glosses and these glosses are by far the best I have tried. They come in the most flattering shades and I have collected all the pink shades from the line.
The packaging reflects the high price tag for a lip gloss. Different to their lipsticks, these glosses come in a weighty black lacquered glass tube. As I have said earlier, I feel my money is justified if a product is packaged beautifully and carries some weight, as opposed to the cheaper drugstore makeup. All of the ones I own contain no shimmers and are semi opaque. The colors are rich enough to show up on the lips whilst still showing a hint of your natural lip tone – which is exactly what I am after from a lip gloss. The finish is a cross between luminous and jelly like. They also felt extremely hydrating to the lips – as soon as they are applied on my usual dry lips, they look instantly more plumped and the appearance of lines and chapped skin is gone.
Let’s start with Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in 57 Insolence - a bright yet wearable pink
Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in55 Confidence - a rosy pink
Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in54 Liberte – a peach with a hint of pink
Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in56 Imaginaire – a pink with a hint of coral, my favorite shade out of them all
Last but not least, a group swatch – aren’t they all so pretty?!
Bottom line: All shades are extremely wearable and would work well with any skin coloring. Highly recommend if you prefer lipglosses that provide just the right amount of color to your lips with a high gloss shine that is not shimmery nor frosty. They are non sticky and wear for about 3 to 4 hours. Of course they can be layered with lipsticks for a more dramatic look.

They’re all stunning on you!
Thanks Jamilla, you are always so sweet!
These are my favorite glosses too!! Confidence and Emoi are my face shades
Hehe..we have similar taste
I need to check out Emoi asap!
The colors are extremely flattering on you. I love “Confidence” out of the bunch. “Insolence” pops out from the swatches but not sure if it will compliment me though.
Although Insolence is a cool pink it is flattering on yellow based complexion. You should give it a try
I love it! I fall in love with imaginare. cute cute cute & you’re also
Love imaginare the most!
Beautiful…I need to look at these next time instead of being distracted by the glossimers!
Oh..I get distracted by glossimers as well..:-) They are just equally beautiful.

Glad to know your fav is also imaginaire!!

I like all those shades especially Imaginaire and Liberte~ They are so pretty!!!
Btw, You have gorgeous full lips hun.
Imaginaire and Liberte are your colors!!
btw I don’t like my lips..:P
Hi! all of the shades look so pretty on you. I passed up on these a while a go because i found them sheer, but now you made me want to revisit them at the counter! I like Imaginaire too
IMO they are pretty pigmented..go give them a second try, especially Imaginaire
Hi reika,
my favorite lip color from rouge allure is number 76.. I love the pink color and I’m using it everyday
lovely article as usual!
Thanks Meryl
love this! your lip swatches are so great. i love all the colors you have.
Thanks for your lovely comment kelly
I like the Allure Lipgloss too!
They are very pigmented and non-sticky!
We always like the same things!
the 1st two look the same on and the 2nd two look like one another on, so looks like only one or two would actually be needed. they are pretty. I LOVE your eye makeup, you look great
Thanks Vonnie. For the eye makeup I used chanel quad in spice in case you are curious
I just got Insolence a few weeks ago (due to reading Liz’s recommendation that it is her favorite gloss on Cafe Makeup), and I already love it although I haven’t had a chance to wear it too much.
I love how all the colors above look on you though, and they are extremely helpful for me because we are similar in coloring. Have you tried any of the more intense colors? I’m intrigued to see how it would look in a red or other intense shade.
Insolence is gorgeous on Liz! But it works well with yellow skintone as well.
I am going to try emoi, which is a rich red shade!
I already have 56 Imaginaire and I love it! So cute and easy-to-wear.. But I think I’ll probably buy 55 Confidence in the future too.
Good picks! I have a backup of Imaginaire
Wahhh you make me want them all <3
They are so pretty aren’t they
Imaginaire and Liberte are gorgeous. I would love to add them to my stash, despite not being a gloss person. The broken fanned out image of the wands against the upright black tubes in your first picture is so creative. Love your photography!
Thanks Dovey. Your photography is lovely too!!
I agree that these lip glosses are among the best! I have two of these too!
The pink color looks amazingly cute on you! <3
Hi Reika,
I really love your make up at the last picture. Which products (foundation, eye make up..) did you use for this look?
Grretings from Germany
Hello Coquette apologies for the late reply, I overlooked your comment as it was on a quite old post!
I had chanel vitalumiere aqua foundation on and the chancel spice eyeshadow quad on my eyes.
Thanks a lot! I will try it
