Beauty: Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée


Hi, everyone.
Ready to peek the next lipstick collection of mine?
Let me introduce you to Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34, La Rafinée,  then.

Belum bosen kan ya untuk membahas lipstik or lipen tercinta?
Aku belum!
Maafkan kalau aku masih semangat aja mereview lipstik-lipstik tercinta yang selalu aku bawa ke mana-mana. Bahkan sepertinya tasku pun berat karena aneka lipstik dan make-up pouch LOL. Plus dokumen kerja pastinya.

Tapi bener deh. 
Dengan aneka ragam model, jenis, warna dan model lipstik yang ada sekarang, sepertinya mereview lipstik setiap hari juga ngga akan habis-habis. 
Apalagi saya suka penasaran dengan berbagai lipstik model dan warna baru.
Seringkali belum selesai dengan satu lipstik, saya sudah tergoda lagi dengan yang lain.
Boleh kan...
So, stick around!




Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée

Here's my take on Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no.34, La Rafinee

 BEHIND THE LIPSTICK

Chanel is for sure an established brand.

Many of us know it for many iconic items like Chanel bag or Chanel no.5 perfume, for example.
But for me, Chanel lipstick is irresistible.
I don't know exactly when they started launching the beauty products but for sure I have been enjoying some of them. 

I first used Chanel lipstick when I was in Geneve, Switzerland, back in 2007. 
It was somehow cheaper in Europe to get European brands,- of course, Indah, it's where they come from LOL.
And now, they have the velvet collection which is perfect me...and you!


love the color

THE LIPSTICK


The lipstick is Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no.34, La Rafinée

As I copied from the website, "This non-drying matte lipstick glides on lips with intensely rich, long-wearing colour and a sumptuously soft, velvet matte finish". That's what the website says.

Sounds great, right.

And the composition of this lipstick is "mother-of-pearl pigments deliver rich colour and a soft finish. Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter comfort and moisturize." Still from Chanel's website.
That is why it's nice and soft on your lips, yet looks beautifully matte with saturated color.

La Rafinée itself means 'refined'.
So I suppose this color is a refined shade that you will definitely love.

The price for this liquid matte is USD 37, before taxes and shipping.

I usually buy it in my favorite shop, Sephora, and you can definitely check it on www.chanel.com or any major department stores here in NYC, like Macy's, Saks 5th Avenue, Barney's, Bergdorf and Goodman and more. They also have it in Chanel boutique.

THE SWATCH


Here's how Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée looks on my complexion. 


that kind of nude I love so much ...

And this is how it looks when I put it on my lips




THE PERKS

I love it because the color is beautiful!
The prefect 'nude' I love put on my lips.
It's like dusty rose but more 'stand-out' for my complexion.

And the most important part is it feels sooo good on my lips!
Yes, another 'comfortable'  lipstick I can put on and on again.
It gives you velvet finish and matte but not drying.
So, I guess that's the reason why it feels great.
It may not stay that long, compared to others

The packaging is sleek and elegant. Not too fancy but it serves the purpose.

THE INGREDIENTS

As I can read in the box, -finely printed of course, the lipstick is made of mixture of, among others, Isononyl isononanoate, dicaprylyl carbonate, synthetic wax, jojoba esters, shea butter,  and more :). 

The lipstick is made in France.


The ingredients


THE NO-NO

It's quite expensive.

That's it!
Well, it's not the most expensive lipstick I have ever had, but loving it and using it most of the time means I have to buy more :).

That's the only no-no I have in mind.
The rest is fine for me.

So, finalement,  I give  Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée the score 9 out of 10.  

Dan kalau bicara lipstik, saya kok jadi inget neng Cheila Ribut alias Bu Guru Kecil deh.

Beberapa chat di WAG terkahir kami banyak ngobrolin soal lipstik hehehe.
Dan Cheila senang sepertinya mencoba aneka warna dan jenis lipstik baru. Mulai dari warna yang nude, bold, sampai warna in between yang juga cocok untuk semua.

Just like me :)
Dan yang penting kan pede dan nyaman di bibir.
So I guess, mom blogger kondang yang juga guru imut asyik di kampungnya dan sarat prestasi ini have the same soft spot for lipstick. Go check out her blog (link up here www.gurukecil.com) and you will see and read her colorful world.

Oke, ini ceritaku tentang lipstik  Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick no. 34 La Rafinée.
Semoga ngga bosen ya dengan reviewku.
Ditunggu postingan lipstik-lipstik tercinta berikutnya ya.
Muuuaaah et amusez-vous bien!

Buka - bukaan pouch a la Mama Bo et Obi

Haiii haiiii...

Aiiih...kangen aja dah lama ngga ikutan GA niiih...
Et, seperti biasa, sebagaimana layaknya deadliner sejati, kami pun memutuskan untuk ikutan GAnya our one-and-only Mak Gaoel..

Entah kenapa, padahal dari kemarin - kemarin udah liat postingan temen-temen tapi baru tergerak ngedraft di hari-H. Ya sudlaaah...tidak perlu dibahas kenapa ya hehehe..

Baeklaaaah...mari kita mulai buka-bukaan ...
Sambil mata ngintip-ngintip #Oscar2015 yang seruuu abis :)

Eng ing eeeng...

Ternyata mama Bo et Obi punya 3 pouches kosmetik di dalam tasnya. 
Pantesan ajaa selama ini tasnya kok berat ajaaa #barusadar.
Dari tiga pouches, 2 ungu 1 merah :) #nggaadayangnanya 



Kita mulai dari pouch pertama.
Si merah dengan gambar perahu khas Hong Kong :). 
Aslinya ini pouch kosmetikku juga, tapi ..tapi..tapi...setelah dibukaaaa isinya adalah ...
Taraaa..Dah macam kantong ajaib doraemon aja ternyataaaa..
Karena ada power bank dan kabelnya yang sudah carut-marut, plus sambel sachet aneka rupa (kemana kosmetiknya neeeng...)
Dan sambal ini, wahai teman-teman,  pentiiing lhooo...
Bisa mati gaya mama Bo et Obi lho kalau ngga ada si 'obat ganteng' ini, apalagi kalau lunch di luar sanaaah :)



Dan pouch kedua isinya baru segala perlengkapan 'perang' :).
Walaupun kecil, tapi isinya banyak aja ternyata. Mau tau apa aja?
Ada : 
2 lipstick, satu yang long lasting, satu yang fully moisturizing. Yang pasti 2-2nya ungu :)
1 lip moisturizer (karena udara dingin NY bener-bener buat terpal super duper kering..apalagi bibir kaaan)
5 eyeliners (ya ampuuuun...5 buaaah....mata cuma 2 juga :). Tapi memang 3 warna hitam dengan jenis dan kuas yang berbeda (penting ini, penting), 1 ungu, 1 biru)
3 echantillons (itu lhooo.. sample minyak wangi yang imut-imut :))
1 eye shadow pencil (warna biru dan turquoise...warna favorit setelah unguuuu :))
1 eyebrow pencil (yang udah supeeer pendek :)..diabuse terus soalnya..)
Dan 1 cotton bud (yang kayaknya udah pernah kepake..iiih, mama Bo et Obi joroook ajaa..#maafkeun).

Biasanya selalu ada mascara juga...tapi belum lama ini mascara kami keluarkan karena bulu mata mama Bo et Obi sukses rontok pasca kemo, seperti juga bulu-bulu lain di tubuhnya #nggausahdibahasya...



Dan pouch terakhir (drum roll pleaseeee...#serasaOscar2015 :) isinyaaaa...
1 powder perfume (hmm...kenapa jadi banyak produk wewangian beginiiii... apakah karena jarang mandi selama musim dingin? #eeeeh ).
1 hand and nail lotion (supaya tangan tetap halus dan jelitaaa :)..)
1 petroleum jelly (yang super sakti di tengah hawa dingin NYC yang bikin emosi jiwaaa..)
1 eye moisturizer (supaya mata bisa tetap kedip-kedip cantik...)
dan 1 gembok kecil (untuk apa coba yaaaa...)



Okeee...demikianlah sesi buka-bukaan a la mama Bo et Obi :)..
Dan Mak Gaoel, happy happy birthday yaaa buat hubby tercintaaaaa...
Sering-sering aja GAnya yah :).

Mmuuuaaaah...
