My First Chanel! | Rouge Lipsticks in Maggy & Libre

It's been awhile since I actually went to Nordstrom (or any department store really) due to the ease of ordering online. I had actually forgotten how much I've missed it. I had decided, finally, that I was going to get my first Chanel products (achievement unlocked!). Bear in mind that I had no plan for this venture; I was just focused on making my way to the Chanel counter and coming out with a product that I was excited about. You might not be surprised to hear that I emerged from this grand sojourn with two lipsticks:

Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in "436 Maggy" (right)

The Rouge Allure Velvet Matte lipsticks are one of the most creamy matte lipstick formulas I have ever tried. It was funny, when I went to check out at the Chanel counter one of the Sales Associates said I would love the product as it's the creamist matte formula on the market. I would not be surprised if that were true as the formula is fantastically creamy. The shade "Libre" is a wonderfully neutral pink-nude, so right up my alley in the neutrals department!

The Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating lipstick is shiny and hydrating. While the shade isn't the most summery of shades, I find the formula perfect for year-round wear; keep your pout moisturized during the dry season in Winter and nice and shiny and supple during the warm Summer season. This shade, Maggy, has become one of my favs. It's one of my 'edgy' neutral shades (if you can really call it edgy). It's a nude-brown with almost a hint of purple. It gives off a shiny, balm-like look to the lips and feels as moisturizing as it looks.

I'm wearing "Maggy" on the lips and the Viseart "Tryst" palette on the eyes (for an overview and thoughts on the Tryst palette, please see this post!"
