Happy Friday, young lady! 🙂 Greetings from the past — YES, the past.
Okay, not exactly. I scheduled this post before I left for the airport this morning. Right now I’m probably somewhere over Greenland begging a flight attendant for another small bag of pretzels and nuts (I just love those damn things).
Speaking of nuts, one of the things I’ve never wanted to be: a stuntwoman.
Sure, I’m down with heights, and I like fast cars, but why would I ever leap from a building onto a speeding train in three-inch heels?
Oh, hail, naaaw!
The closest I think I’ll ever get to stunt-work: the new Chanel Rouge Allure Lacque in Stunt ($32).
It’s a cute creamy plum lipgloss, one of the limited edition goodies in the Chanel SoHo collection. For full coverage color with lots of shine, slick this densely pigmented gloss on sparingly because a little goes a long way (thankfully).
I like the slick, smooth texture. It’s thin and feels non-sticky on my lips, and Chanel didn’t weigh it down with a flavor or scent, either, which I like. As far as wear time, I get from 3-4 hours with it on — pretty good for such a super thin gloss.
Well, if my flight’s on schedule, I’ll be seeing you soon. 🙂 Have you had a good day so far?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Luci says
That color is gorgeous!!! Ahh Chanel, why do you have to be so expensive??
Safe travels, Karen! I hope you have an amazing trip!
makeup morsels says
ooh I absolutely love that color. So creamy and pretty! Hope you have a safe flight, and can’t wait to hear your report on Fashion Week!
Amber says
I love plum lips! First impression is that NARS All Night Long might be a good alternative for those who don’t want to break the $30 barrier.
Toni says
Soooo pretty on you! The more I see of this collection, the more I want to get it! I haven’t tried the Rouge Allure Lacque lip products yet. I might have to make a stop by the Chanel counter this weekend if I get out (caught DS’s nasty cold).
Hope you have safe travels and a fabulous trip!
Appu says
Gorgeous color!! But why the hell does it have to be $32? Why? 🙁 Have a great trip and lookin forward to the Fashion Week pics 🙂
Jenn says
Oh, that is just HAWT. Hope you enjoy yourself in Italy! 🙂
Tracy says
Ok-I need this! It’s a beautiful plum colour! Looks gorgeous on you! Hope you’re getting loads of pretzel packs on your way there!
evo says
i want this so bad! i don’t think we got the soho collection in canada nor can i order it on the chanel site. do you think it’ll be available permanetly in the near future?
Ithfifi says
Thats gorgeous! I’d totally do a back flip for it! I’m going to go mad on this collection, I can tell! Why does everything have to be released so late in the uk? Argh! I hope your having a fantastic time!
Nina says
Me want! Me want! Darn. Color looks amazing with your skin tone Karen!
Trisha says
I hope you’re already having a blast, even on the plane.
And as for this gloss, it looks awesome. I like that it doesn’t have a scent, and especially a flavor. I always end up eating it off my lips.
Alex says
Ooooh, that’s pretty! Kinda reminds me of the colour of a Neutrogena gloss I picked up back in high school. I actually end up liking alot of the Chanel colours, I just can’t afford them. 🙁
Have a great trip, Karen. I’m so jealous! I love traveling!
Beatrice says
I’m in love with this color! and have a safe trip! Hope it’s funn 🙂
Christy says
Lovely shade.
Trina J MUA says
I love this plum gloss. It reminds me of an old MAC lipglass called ElectroLush that I used to use all the time. I may have to spend that $32…LOL.
Glosslizard says

Amee says

Melanie says

Nina says
That is stunning!
saku says
OMG no. Why did it have to be so pretty. I may have to get this. My wallet, lol. 🙁
Hannah says
That color is fabulous. Can you think of any other lip products that are similar?
Kim says
That’s a great color. I would have loved to have been a stuntman when I was younger, but I’m getting a little less reckless with age. Plus, I think you have to be a little crazy to do that long-term (see Stuntman Mike from Grindhouse). Wow, sorry about all the movie references today.
Bunny Masseuse says
Kinda reminds me a lot of the new lipstick/lipgloss “Color Zoom Liquid Lipstick” from Smashbox.
