Actually, there are two shades of lipstick in the Chanel Plumes Precieuses de Chanel collection – Flamboyante above, and another shade, Volage, which is more of a peachy nude colour and nowhere near as show-stopping as Flamboyante.
You can see from the swatch that it’s a real smack of red – I can’t detect any blue tones in this shade at all. The Rouge Velvet Allure is more of a matte texture than I like, but it’s a very smooth application that feels quite nourishing on the lip. However, if you’re after Flamboyante, I’d definitely ask for a swatch in store – I’ve a feeling it might do that yellow-tooth thing.
The final item I have to show you is Stylo Yeux in Or Blanc (limited edition) – a white-gold eye liner.
By taking the warmth and heat out of the gold and blending it with white, it’s a gorgeous match for Flamboyante. I’m thinking if you like that stark eye look, Or Blanc is perfect for achieving it.
Flamboyante will cost £26 (lim ed) and Or Blanc will cost £19.
