After much thought and deliberation about the inevitable zombie apocalypse — because we all know it’s only a matter of time — I’ve come to the realization that when the sh*t goes down, my zombie transformation will probably come sooner than later.
So, instead of wasting time honing skills like wilderness survival and close-quarters combat, and instead of squirreling away baseball bats and brain-slashing instruments under my bed, I’m going to stuff my “In Case of Zombie Emergency” kit, not with canned foods and medicine, but with Chanel.
Lots and lots of Chanel. 🙂
First thing to add? The four Rouge Allure lipsticks ($34 each) and two Rouge Allure Velvets ($34) from the Printemps Precieux de Chanel Spring 2013 collection.
Because, ya know, if I’m going to be a zombie, I’m going to be a cute zombie with plenty of seasonally-appropriate lipstick options. 🙂
PRICE: $34 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Chanel counters and chanel.com
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A (pigmented, hydrating, long-wearing and zombie ready…but pricey)
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Karen says
TGIF to you and to the kittehs, Sunny!
Tracy@Beauty Reflections says
La Favourite! Pretty! And I’m with you. Who needs to eat when you have great lipstick?
Karen says
Word. Zombi-fication, HERE WE COME!
Alice Ann says
Captivante looks great on you, I will have to try it as well as Envoutante.
Karen says
Thanks, Alice Ann. I hope you give a few of the colors a try. The texture and pigment on all of ’em are great.
Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend?
Alice Ann says
Sadly, I will go to work tomorrow after missing most of this week because of this terrible flu. On Sunday I may go to a flea market in Santa Cruz, though, that should be fun. Have a good weekend!
Kiss & Make-up says
God I love Chanel lipsticks! 🙂
Karen says
Me too! They’re some of my faves. 🙂
Kim says
I think Captivante will look best when mixed with brains. 🙂
Happy Friday!
Karen says
Oh, most definitely. Don’t forget to add a side of gooey zombie blood… DELISH!
Happy Friday to you too. Whatcha got going on this weekend? I’m keeping it low key and hanging out at home. Hopefully I’ll find the energy to put the Christmas tree away, LOL! It’s still up and in the living room.
Richa says
I will agree…Captivante looks great on you!
Karen says
Thank you, Richa. Happy Friday!
Lissette Morales says
Karen, which eyeliner are you wearing? It really makes your eyes pop and your complexion glow!
Ruchita says
All the colors are pretty, but Captivante is my fave! Happy Friday! Hopefully Tabs lets you cut of work early today. 🙂
I’m looking forward to some warmer temps this weekend to melt all the snow on the ground. I did take Mingy out on a quick walk the other day and he was thrilled after being cooped up inside for a while.
Ellen says
Why must you do this to me?? Hahaha 🙂 I’m thinking either Envoutante or Captivante – I’m neutral-cool, NC15. Which do you think? Envoutante is something I would go for, but Captivante is, well, captivating!
Rachel says
I love the color of La Favorite. 🙂 I need to try one of Chanel lip products when I get off no/low lip product buy.
Ankita@corallista says
La Favorite for me!
Iris says
I’ve never used much Chanel makeup (even if I’ve heard great things about it) but those lipsticks have me tempted. I hope they’re ongoing and not limited edition. La Favorite looks so pretty.
gio says
They are all gorgeous! My favourite is La Favorite.
Dominique says
I don’t think these Rouges Allure are unforgettable, I much prefer the Rouges Coco for some collections ( spring and fall ), last year they were so beautiful ( Charme, Paradis, Destinée etc.. ) but this year I’ll skip. I love the regular Rouges Allure Collection though ( I have Passion, Pirate and Inimitable ).
Leah @ Mile High Beauty Blog says
It’s dangerous for me to come here when you post about Chanel. Now I also need Envoutante and Captivante.
Florence says

Jennifer says
Chanel does no wrong. I always say it and I’ll keep on saying it. Chanel does nothing wrong!
Chris El says
These are gorgeous spring colors! I’m especially loving Fantasque and L’Eclatante.
Sophie says
i loooove lipsticks!!! Just a shame a very high quality one cant suit my student budget:( x
Tori says
The lippies are nice but I think that your eye makeup is gorgeous and makes you look so feminine and pretty (not that you don’t always look good). Would you mind sharing what you put on your eyes?
nawi says
I am missing fantasique on your lips is that correct?
wiebke says
