Chanel Rouge Coco Plumetis Swatches, Photos, Reviews

Rouge Coco Plumetis ($32) is the sleeper hit to the Fall 2011 Chanel Illusion D'Ombres collection. With the release of their new Illusion D'Ombres eyeshadows (Am I powder? Am I cream? Why am I so fluffy and bouncy when you touch me?) and the duochrome Peridot nail polish (Am I gold? Am I green? Why do I look so much better in the bottle than on your fingers?) vying for my attention, it would be a little hard to concentrate on something as basic as a nude lipstick.

But I'm an equal opportunity person, so I played with this while the SA was applying eyeshadows on my lids and her colleague was painting golden strips on a cellophane at the back of my hand. I ended up going home with only one of the eye shadows - I haven't been around here long enough yet, but soon you'll realize that is a major feat - but I did bring along both of the Rouge Cocos released in the collection.

One of those Rouge Cocos is Plumetis, a shimmery peach-pink win. Also, according to these pictures, it makes my lips glisten in a "hey, look at me I have ridiculously healthy lips"way. I look like I drink enough water, which I don't and I should. But with this I can have a parched throat and a dry tongue and still be fooled. My lips but better? I THINK SO.

For those not familiar with the Rouge Coco formula, Chanel claims that it is lightweight, moisturizing, and provides full coverage. All of which I am happy to report holds true for Plumetis.

Rouge Coco Plumetis is a welcome permanent addition to the Chanel lip line. Speaking of permanence, they just discontinued a whole slew of items, so if you have a staple, grab them while you still have the chance. Remember what I said about Chanel regret?
