Last year we fell in love with the incredible Rouge Coco range from Chanel. The gorgeous lipsticks paid tribute to the Gabrielle Chanel and we loved wearing something so seeped in history on our lips.
This year, the luxury leaders have stunned us again with a new range of lipsticks called Rouge Coco Shine. Once again, these colours are seeped in history; the range pays accolades to the rich, inspiring life of Coco Chanel. And once again, we have fallen quickly in love.
The Formula
Chanel beauty knows that the secret to luscious lips is hydration and that no one dreams about kissing chapped lips so they’ve create a innovative formula combining wax with plant-based Phytosterol derivatives to ensure your lips stay smooth all day. The result? A texture that simply melts into the lips, a comfort like no other and a beautifully smooth look.
The Colours
There are twenty-five shades to choose from in the Rouge Coco Shine collection, all of which are semi-sheer with a sophisticated shimmer. The subtlety of these shades makes them wonderfully wearable and worthy of any occasion. Let these luscious colours light up your smile and turn a few heads this season.
The Model
Following last years role as the Rouge Coco range front woman, French beauty Vanessa Paradis is the spokeswoman for Rouge Coco Shine. We couldn’t think of any one more suited to the role. This natural beauty is as stylish as they come and we can’t get enough of the new campaign.

The Essential Hue
Boy
The signature shade from the range pays homage to the Mademoiselle Chanel’s celebrated partner Arthur ‘Boy’ Capel who encouraged her to open her first milliner’s workshop. Wearable and warm, this pretty rosewood is the epitome of relaxed glamour. An essential this season.
The Brave Shade
Bonheur
We’re loving plum shades for autumn and this coppery violet plum really hits the mark. We love that this bold shade makes your teeth look whiter than white and leaves your lips looking delicious. A great one for ladies who want to try a chic plum stained look that isn’t too intense.
The Timeless Classic
Canotier
If you’re intending on making your eyes the focus for the night, or you’re trying out a minimal make-up look, this delicate beige colour is sure to become your lips best friend. Luminous enough to leave the lips with a pretty sheen without being over bearing, this is a sophisticated shade that you’ll be using for years to come.
