CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine #79 Saga

In need for a new everyday pink lipstick, I went to check the new shades of my favorite Chanel lipsticks Rouge Coco Shine. And I found one right away, #79 Saga. It is one of the eight new shades of the Avant Première Spring 2013 Collection. As this shade is in limited edition, I was happy to find that it was still available in the store I went, which is not the case everywhere. So if you like this swatch and this lipstick, hurry to buy your #79 Saga Chanel Rouge Coco Shine, as it won't be in stores for long.

As I swatch regularly Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks, I won't repeat myself about the packaging and other details, but will go straight on the description of the colour and the texture.

 

#79 Saga is a warm medium pink shade with a soft creamy shine. I would also say that it is "bonbon rose" in French as a candy pink which describes the best this shade to me. As I most often buy lipsticks in nude shades, this is not a nude shade at all. It has an opaque finish and perfect as an everyday lipstick. This pink shade is perfect for every season, not just for summer (as it is a spring/summer collection). It's the perfect pink that gives your face a healthy and cheerful look. It will look lovely to all skin tones. The formula as usual is moisturizing and comfortable to wear. But your lips need to be scrubed and well hydrated before, because if they are dry, every small dry bit will show as you glide on. Compared to previous releases of Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks, this one is more pigmented and the wear time is longer than usual which is a positive thing.

 

The swatched photo above looks a bit different from the swatched photo below because of the flash. The swatched photo above shows the colour as it was a salmon pink which is true to some point, but I would stick more to the photo below as it shows the colour as it is, but just a bit more pinkish in normal light. 

As a regular buyer of the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks, I must highlight the new price of these lipsticks since recently.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine retails now for 30,50€ in France, whereas the old price was 29,90€.
