Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in Suspense ($34) is part of the Avant-Premiere de Chanel makeup collection. The collection features some new, improved (extrapigmented) Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks. Suspense is a dark raspberry pink with fuschia shimmer in it. The shimmer is quite fine but visible on the lips, and it adds a bit of complexity to the color. The finish is smooth, the color very pigmented, and the formula feels quite hydrating on the lips. Scroll on for more photos.
Suspense is the perfect lip color for days that need a bright pop of color. The fuchsia shimmers don't stand out as chunky bits, but they do add pretty bits of color and shine to the already bright base. I love how beautifully pigmented the product is and how lovely it feels on the lips, but the combination also means that it does tend to slip a bit around the edges, just a bit, but it's only a problem if you apply the color too thick. Overall, Suspense (and Pygmalion) are definitely the must-haves from the recently launched Rouge Coco Shines.

Chanel is always so perfect, almost can never go wrong with it. And this one looks particularly fabulous on you
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat review! I love how pigmented this particular coco shine is <3
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is pigmented! :D
DeleteThis color looks gorgeous on you :)
ReplyDeleteYour pics are such a feast for my eyes and I mean it Rads. I get motivated to click better day by day when I see your posts. Just to motivate me and treat my eyes you should be posting more often ;)Coz today I see your post and for the next few days I will do anything to click pics the way I want. A couple of days after that my energy goes down and I compromise a lot :(
Awwww...thank you!!! Your photos are quite good, Aarthi..and posting every day like you do can get a stressful, I am sure - I don't think I could ever do it!
DeleteThe shade suits you very well Radhika! It's really a wearable Fuchsia
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? :D
DeleteThis shade looks gorgeous on you, Rads :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're concerned about the lipstick shade slipping, you could try a neutral shade lip liner or MAC's Prep+Prime lip primer to give the lipstick something to grab on to.
I reallly reallllllllly need to get that lip primer..you told me about this before too, didn't you? Somehow I just keep putting basic things like this soon as I see soemthing bright and shiny and colorful.
DeleteHaha, I think that might have been me too. I've been raving about the lip primer because I could never wear bright lipsticks or even apply lip liner properly until I discovered that lip primer.
DeleteI also discovered clear brow gel recently... *SIGH* Love :)
Noooooooooooooo don't tell me about any more products...is one at a time..first we make Radhika buy the lip primer..then the paint pots..then the...ughhhhhhh..my list will never everrrrr endddddddd..
DeleteGorgeous shade, looks great on you. x
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteLOVE this colour! Wish it had launched a few weeks earlier then I could hv got it from Hong Kong...Chanel lippies cost 600 less in HK than in India!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I thought it had already launched there, or maybe it was released in Europe..somewhere it was out a while back! Ooooohh 600 less..wowwww..that's awesome, isn't it? Where you in HK for a vacation - how is the place? Am sure it must have been fun! :D
DeleteYup, it was fun. But I really, really really restrained myself from buying tons of makeup :p
Delete:D :D :D :D Am pretttttttttttttty sure..the "restraint" must have been because you already did enough damage to the credit card :D
DeleteI'm truly loving the Coco Shine formula - and still very happy with Bonheur as the lip treat in my bag. The light rose fragrance is lovely. Radhika you should try le Vernis in Starlet, if you haven't already...
ReplyDeleteHii..I love Bonheur! Thanks for reminding me..I should search it out :D I ordered Starlet and Paparazzi last night - guess will get them by the end of the week, hopefully..
DeleteThat bright color is awesome on you! I need to find a good color to try of the new formula. Maybe this is a good one for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure this would look GOOD on you! Amant and Le Baiser also seem to be getting some good reviews..you might want to give those a try too..
DeleteAnd, thank you! :D
DeleteI wanted to get this as well but my wallet said no I could not choose between this one and Pygmalion accoording to the sales lady Suspense is not limited edition as Pygmalion is and already has sold out in lots of shops nearby so I only got Pygmalion which I love for the summer. I hope Suspense is not limted edition so I can get it later.
ReplyDeletethanks for a great review looks beautiful on you.
Thank you!
DeleteThat was pretty smart shopping! Pygmalion is LE, and as far as I know, Suspense is going to be around forever..and between the two, Pygmalion wins for me :P :D
Thanks that does make me feel better knowing I choose the right one!
Delete:D
DeleteThis looks so gorgeous on you! I may give this one a second thought ;-) when I wear it, it is way too bright for heavy makeup days so I was not that sure...
ReplyDeleteHi Sara! Thank you..oh it's because I am darker, so the color gets toned down a bit on me. It is a bright color even for me, and I find it easier to carry if I keep the rest of my makeup subtle...
DeleteYayy!1 Bought this and Saga last week and totally loving these. I wanted to buy Pygmalion but to tell you the truth when I swatched it I thought I have at least 2 lipsticks from MAC with the same shade as Pygmalion.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking absolutely fantastic on you:) Gosh!! what is up with Chanel?? I feel like buying everything they are releasing these days :)
Yayyyy..am so happy you liked them :D
DeleteMAC has a million and one colors and variations of every shade - I won't be surprised there is something that would be an exact dupe also!! Good for your wallet, though :D :D
Hey Radhika....The lovely colour makes u even more gorgeous...i luv the shade on u...n nice review as well :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandhya! Hope you are feeling better now! :) :)
DeleteThank you..your swatches really did help me decide since I had to buy these online :D
