REVIEW- Chanel Rouge Allure #81 (Spring 2010)

So I work at Arab Street, and thats like 7 mins walk to Bugis Junction. So whenever I go Bugis, I go down to the ATM Machine and that escalator is by the side of Chanel. And for the past couple of weeks, Ive been noticing the big ad for the Chanel Spring 2010 collection and what caught my eyes most was the yummy brownish lipstick!

So while waiting for a meeting with my client, I went up to the counter and checked out the items.
Without much hesitation, I got the lipstick! ♥
My Thoughts: I am in LOVE with the colour! It comes off as a very natural shade and it is very creamy, which I LOVE! I hate lipsticks that make your lips feel DRY. The colour isnt as brown as the lipstick is. But when you use it with a brown based lip pencil (like the oen frm the collection) then you can get a lovely natural brownish shade! This is my first Chanel Lipstick, and the packaging amused me. Its not the usual two piece cover. Instead you need to push the base for the lipstick to come out! SO CUTE!
Its lasting power deserved a 4 out of 5, but the colour, texture and packaging wins it 5 out of 5! If you’re wondering if this lipstick would look good on you cuz you’re maybe fairer or darker than me, well in my opinion, I think this is a pretty SAFE colour. It turns out pretty neutral and glossy and doesnt appear too brown(like how it looks) , and neither is it too pale/nude on the lips!
Retails at Chanel counters for SGD44.
Will I buy it again? I might end up going back to stock up on these since its a Limited Edition collection!
