I only get about two solid hours of wear out of Boy, but that’s really what it’s designed to do, considering how light and thin it is. The bullet, however, is a touch thinner and taller, which to me gives the new lipstick a more casual feel. The Shines come in packaging a lot like the regular Rouge Coco lipsticks, with the same kind of magnetic cap that snaps shut (don’t you just love that satisfying “click”?). Speaking of the Aqualumieres, the Chanel artist I worked with today said they’re being phased out to make room for the new Rouge Coco Shines, so if you have a holy grail color in the formulation, now is the time to grab an extra soon they’ll be going, going, gone. It’s also non-sticky with a light rose scent and a very faint rosy vanilla flavor. ![]() Boy feels smooth, like a thinner, slicker version of a Chanel Aqualumiere. This is my first rendezvous with a Rouge Coco Shine, and so far I like what I see. It could very well be the perfect date night lipstick - something worthy of a first kiss at the end of a great night. The medium-pigmented rosy pink contains the cutest flecks of golden micro-glitter, and it looks breathtakingly shiny and kissable on the lips. I stopped by Nordie’s today to meet Boy in person, and, ya know, I think it’s fitting that there’s a love story behind it, because the color feels très romantique! Sadly, Boy was later tragically killed in a car accident. Legend has it he asked her to marry him, but she refused, wanting to wait until she became financially independent first. It was Boy who gave her the funds to open her first shop, and his clothes that influenced her early designs (their boxy, masculine shapes). Turns out the lippie takes its name from one of Coco’s lovahs, Arthur Edward “Boy” Capel, the wealthy English polo player who played a big role in Mademoiselle’s colorful life. Then, after Valentine’s Day, the shade will be pulled from shelves until it returns with the rest of the collection this March. ![]() Boy, one of the colors coming in the line, will make a special appearance at select Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus Chanel counters next week, between February 10-14 - just in time for the Big V. It’s one of 18 new colors in Chanel’s new line of shiny, hydrating lipsticks. It’s very luxurious.No, Chanel didn’t name this Boy after Boy George, but it sure would have been neat if they had. Yes, you can definitely get this look with a Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm or Maybelline Baby Lips, but I just love keeping this in my purse and using it. I would definitely recommend this lipstick if you are wanting to treat yourself and splurge a little bit. This really felt nice on my dry lips and I found that the color lasted a few hours! Even after the color wore off, my lips were still smooth and moisturized. It definitely adds a little something extra. ![]() You don’t have to even use a mirror just swipe it on like a lip balm. It goes on so smooth and adds a hint of color and a lot of shine to my lips. The lipstick is a neutral, “my lips but better” type of color. The packaging is their standard black and gold with the Chanel logo on the top of the cap. These lipsticks retail for $37, which is very high in price, but you know, it’s Chanel. This collection of lipsticks are sheer, shiny and very moisturizing- almost like tinted balms. This lipstick is the Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in 93 Intime. I have been really loving this lipstick that I received for Christmas, so I thought I’d share it with you! I haven’t tried a ton of Chanel makeup, but I do love their lipgloss, Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation, and a few of their brow products. Hello! Today I am reviewing a Chanel lipstick. ![]()
