CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine #48 Evasion
 
You already know that I am a huge fan of the Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks by Chanel. I love the moisturizing formula, the water-light texture and all the range of colors they have to offer. This time I went for a shade similar to one that already exists in my makeup drawer in just one tone darker and in a different texture (see swatch for Shiseido Laquer Rouge http://mladenaswatches.blogspot.fr/2013/01/shiseido-laquer-rouge-rd-203-new.html).
 
I was looking for #48 Evasion for some time now. It was not available in stores, but luckily, I found it at a not that frequent airport duty free shop.

                          

I found out about this shade from my sister, she had it first and it looked great and very natural on her as she has light skin tone. At first, I thought it would be too pale for me, but after several tries, I loved the color. It gives me that perfect nude look that I love to have. It goes perfectly with smokey eyes.
 

#48 Evasion is a sheer nude peach-pink-beige. Depending on your natural lip color it goes from pink to peach and beige. On my lips as swatched it goes more into a beige tone with a hint of peach. As I said the perfect nude look on my lips.
The lipstick gives sheer and hydrating color. You’re not going to get much pigment but you are going to end up with glossy lips with a pinch of color. It does have a hint of shimmer, but you do not really see it when you apply it. As already mentioned in the other Rouge Coco Shine swatches, their glossy nature means that they don’t last long on lips, an hour or two before you have to reapply.
When it comes to the packaging, there is nothing to say about, except: "a bit of luxury in everyday life".
