I’ve said it many a time, lipsticks for me are like accessories and nothing beats the power of a strong lip colour. With that being said I treated myself to a new lippie the other day – Chanel’s Rouge Allure Velvet L’Amoureuse (47) from the Variation Collection.
L’Amoureuse is described as an intense rosewood. On me it appears more like a deep plum-toned rose. It’s not typically a shade I’d go for, but with Autumn on the horizon I thought it would look pretty with my preferred minimal makeup look (light base, understated winged liner, lashings of mascara and light dusting of blush).
I have to say I’m really loving the Rouge Allure Velvet line. While I’m fairly new to this formulation (I also own La Diva) they’re quickly becoming my favourite formula. L’Amoureuse has a gorgeous velvety matte finish that feels smooth on application. It isn’t drying (thank goodness) and my lips feel hydrated, don’t chap and the formula lasts a good 4 hours before it becomes more of a stain. Unlike La Diva this shade doesn’t have a white base.
Overall I’m very smitten with my new Rouge Allure Velvet lippie and know I will get a lot of wear out of it as the weather cools down. At the moment we’re still battling 35 degree days where I am, so Autumn is still a while away (unfortunately).

Aaaahhhh!!! It is georgeous! I need this! 😀 Pretty photos btw:)
Thank you 🙂 It’s really very pretty. I think it’s a colour that would suit so many complexions. Let me know if you give it a whirl 🙂
Yes yes yes. I think I’ll have a look at it next month 🙂
Beautiful color!! I really under-utilize lipstick! I need to work on that because, you’re right, it’s such a great accessory!
Thank you – I think so too. Love my lippies – they’re such a mood lifter 🙂 Thanks for dropping by 🙂
I’m in love with this one. Even feeling a little bit sad that spring is coming and I still didn’t wear such shades this winter. oh, well, the next year I’ll know better! 🙂
Yes, it’s so pretty. I’m really loving Chanel’s Rouge Allure Velvet formula and this shade is really lovely. I don’t have anything like this, so it’s a nice one to have it in my collection. Can’t wait to wear it more…. I’m still wearing a lot of summer shades as it’s till very warm here 🙂 Has spring sprung in Croatia?
Actually it has, and a lot. We had 22C today, so sunny and warm and a lot of threes are already blooming! I just hope it won’t turn to rain series.
Fingers crossed it gets a bit cooler at Australia 🙂
Sounds lovely 🙂 Early spring is so lovely, especially when everything starts to bloom. Enjoy 🙂
Thanks dear, will do as much as I can! And have fun with autumn lipsticks:)
Such a pretty color!

Thank you 🙂 I’m getting psyched for my favourite time of the year – autumn/winter. You got me wanting MAC’s Heroine 🙂
You should get it! I love autumn/winter! Are you in this hemisphere too?
I think it looks lovely on you but in other images it looks very purple (maybe a little too purple)…. so I’m unsure now? I really need to swatch it 🙂 And yes… I’m across the Tasman 🙂
This color looks like such a great color for everyday use
Yes, it’s perfectly versatile. I love it 🙂 Thank you !
Aaaand on the wish list it goes! 🙂
Hehe…. it’s really lovely… worthy of going on your wishlist 🙂 Thanks for popping by 🙂
