5 Days of Chanel Rouge Coco: There’s Something About Perle

by 84 Comments

Momma always said, “You can’t go wrong with pearls.” Okay, well, maybe she didn’t say that, but I totally think she should’ve because I loves me some pearls. 🙂

Classic, timeless, and they go with practically everything — kinda like Chanel’s new Rouge Coco lipstick ($30) in Perle 02.

She’s not as outgoing as her sister, La Pausa, but Perle’s soft glow still earns her lots of looks.



A shimmery, pinkish beige — conservative, with a heaping tablespoon of stylish fun — Perle loves study dates at the library.

Her favorite outfit? A tank top and skinny jeans, with a tweed jacket, peep-toe pumps and (of course) pearls. 🙂

If you like classically understated lip colors with a dash of panache, consider Perle on your trip to Chanel.

For more fun with Chanel Rouge Coco ($30 each; avail. Feb. 25)…

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

  10. Oh, I love this one 🙂 I *really, really, really* love your whole look (face, outfit, EVERYTHING) with this lipstick 🙂

    Here’s to hoping I can resist its charms!

    The more I can resist, the sooner I’ll be able to buy myself my much needed laptop replacement (and I want a 13 inch MBP). That Philosophy line . . . I might not be able to resist. The powder and the brush especially. *le sigh* Life is so hard when there are so many pretty things! 🙂

  18. Hi Karen, very nice pics. You’ve got me lemming for these babies now and like I NEED another lipstick LOL. If I get just one – which would you recommend – Perle & Mademoiselle??

    Reply

    • I loooove them both, but I love Mademoiselle just a wee bit more.

      It really depends on the look you’re going for, though. Do you think you’d wear a creamy or a shimmery color more often? I vote for the finish you’d get the most mileage out of, as these are kinda pricey.

  24. That looks awesome on you, Teach!!! 😛

    Thats my favorite of the lipsticks so far… very wearable even for non lipstick wearers like me!

  25. Karen, I love your entire look here! Your makeup looks so natural and pretty! Don’t know if I would splurge on the lipstick though but it does look great. What blush are you wearing? It looks like you might have some highlighter on your cheek bones too! Please do tell!

  27. This is my favorite l/s out of the new Chanel line so far! I don’t anything Chanel, but looks like I need to start investing!! 🙂

  28. Your outfits, your poses, your makeup… you and Rouge Coco are burnin’ up the joint! Fabulous job on this series, I can’t wait for the last two installments! 🙂

    P.S. I’m looking forward to going to NM today to strike up my own relationship with the Rouges Coco! 😉

  29. Your Chanel posts have singlehandedly turned me into an overly anxious, overwhelmingly excited, crazy nutbag who is counting down the mere HOURS until I can dash from work to the nearest Chanel counter. At first I thought Mademoiselle was “the one” for me, but with my light hair, green eyes, and MUFE 120 skin…I think this might be the one!

  33. I usually don’t post but i’m an avid reader of your blog. I can’t help but say that I’m loving your Chanel Rouge posts lately. You’re hilarious. Keep it up.

  37. Love it! And I love your hair, makeup, and outfit! Such a pretty color of lipstick. I think you said in one of your other posts that these lipsticks were moisturizing, is that right? Because I have about 4 MAC lipsticks and they dry out my lips (which is why I am a gloss girl). Thanks for sharing!

  41. Very pretty! Love this color on you and can see it on this pale girl too. You’re making my decision on which to buy first very difficult!

    PS – I likes me some pearls too, as did Coco, of course!

  43. I just got back from the Chanel counter with Perle and Mademoiselle (thanks to your awesome pics), and Organdi Rose and Ruban Rose. They are all so incredibly light and comfortable to wear and they last! I’m on hour four with the Ruban Rose and it still has a good color presence. Chanel struck gold with this line.

    I’ve really been enjoying the Rouge Coco posts. Your outfits are just great, your make-up is superb, and your humorous approach is a lot of fun. Thanks!

    • Eileen…you bought 4!? Sweet lord, that is not going to help me when I’m trying with all my might to just leave with 2. Arghhhh I already foresee how this will fare for me when I go to the Chanel counter in about an hour. Makeup will be the death of me!

  56. girl, you are ROCK’IN these chanel lip colors!!! i didn’t think i needed a chanel lip in my stash, but you are wearing me DOWN! 🙂 by day five, i might be making a trip to the counter…

  59. I’ve never posted a comment here before (I’m kinda shy like that) but I just had to put my 2 cents in here — I’m STUNNED!! You look absolutely GORGEOUS. I don’t know what it is … I can’t pick my favorite part of the look! The lipcolor is pure perfection on you, your hair makes me want to go and kidnap my stylist from her bed immediately and your overall style makes me hate my wardrobe! 🙂 This is your look and you work it like a champ. I bought Perle after seeing it on you. I need it in my life …

    On a more personal note, I just wanted to say thanks. As another thirty-something, it’s really so wonderful to see someone my age (which isn’t really that old, right? 🙂 who is beautiful, immensely talented and downright hysterical! You are the hotness, girlie — and it is much appreciated!

    PS: any way we could get a quick run-down of how you did your hair? So fly!!!

    • Hi Maegan,

      Glad that you are Perle are now homegirls! 🙂 I hope you love the color as much as I do.

      As for the hair… these are leftover curls from the day before (I used a large barreled-curling iron to curl the front pieces for the “La Pausa” FOTD). I didn’t wash my hair that night, and in the morning I had it tied back with a ponytail holder thing-a-ma-jig. When I took my hair down the curls loosened up the quite a bit, which is the wavy effect you see in the pics above. I had a couple of wayward pieces, so I fired up the old curling iron, curled in the ends and then smoothed the side-swept bangs down with some hairspray.

  65. You look fab fab fab in all five looks, but I’m loving the Perle for my own soft blond coloring. Thanks for giving the best-ever reviews of new colors!

  66. Great post! Your making me want to go back to the Chanel counter to get Perle! I love the shoes you are wearing, what brand are they and where did you get them?

  67. First I got myself Byznatine, which I did not wear at all, a wine-red. Then I gazed at Perlé because I just get a good protion of gold, very decent, and it is very suitable for work and with the darker eyes I use to wear.
    But I still think the other colours are rather boring… waiting for the new shades!
