Can you tell I do not want to let go Summer?! Another review on my favourites for the Summer that is about to end!

The Tom Ford Lip Colour Shine lipsticks hug your lips in a “semitransparent, high-shine color veil. Each sensuous and delicate shade glides on with a luminous sheen, instantly moisturizing and conditioning the lips.

Tom Ford’s signature blend of rare ingredients, including Soja Seed extract, Brazilian Murumuru butter and Chamomilla flower oil delivers decadent comfort”, and never fail to amaze.

The only ones I have in my collection that are comparable to the Tom Ford Lip Shines are the other favourites of mine, the Chanel Coco Shine Lipsticks, especially Aventure ( previously reviewed here ), with slight differences between them.

The Tom Ford #02 in Smitten is a very natural looking colour on me. It is a my-lips-but-better kind of shade with a twist: the shiny golden particles, which add a lot of light to my lips, making them look fuller and plumped at the same time.

By comparison, the shiny particles in my #57 Aventure Chanel Coco Shine lipstick are smaller and do not transfer on my lips as obvious as the ones in Smitten.

Being a sheer formula, the coverage is barely there. But I like it like that because it is an item easy to throw in my purse and to reapply without a mirror, when I am on the go.

Like my Aventure, due to its natural colouring I guess Smitten is suitable for a lot of different  complexions.

I find that the Tom Ford‘s Smitten has a denser, stickier formula than my Chanel Coco Shines and I think this is the one thing that makes it resist longer on my lips. I was able to wear it for over three hours, before reapplying it and it felt really moisturizing.

The scent of Smitten is delicious too – as expected, right!? – vanillary and sweet, but not overpowering. Better than the Chanel signature rose scent, the sweet tooth inside of me dares to say!

What about the packaging?! As much as I love the simplicity of the black and white Chanel Coco Shine packaging, I am mesmerized by the luxury of Tom Ford’s mahogany and gold practical packaging.

There are mixed reviews on both these products! Some say they are too pricey for what they are, but I simply love them! Both of them! The Chanel Coco Shines are the most worn lipstick in my collection! I use them in various occasions, no matter the season!

What are your opinions on these? You have one that you love more? Please share!

See you soon, beautiful!

My most loved lipsticks: CHANEL ROUGE COCO SHINE #48 EVASION and #57 AVENTURE

I confess! I love Chanel, lipsticks and nude glossy lips!

Therefore, here you have my most loved Chanel products: the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks in #48 Évasion and #56 Aventure.

Both colours are lovely for any occasion, whenever you want to brighten up your look effortlessly. They look good with a neutral eye, with a smoky eye, and even when you are only wearing blush and mascara. Which I often do!

#48 Évasion is a lovely light colour that looks very natural on me. Not too pink and not too coral, but the perfect balance between the two. A very chic and classic pale, pastel lipstick. Actually, it’s a little bit less than lipstick, but more than a gloss. It has enough pigment to be a lipstick, but glossy as well, and feels very light on the lips. The lasting power leaves a bit to be desired, though… Maybe because of the hydrating proprieties which offer the comfort of a continuous 8-hour-long hydration – thanks to the Hydratender complex, the secret behind the softness of the Rouge Coco range.

#57Aventure is a very flattering warm pink  lipstick, with fine gold shimmers. You can’t go wrong with this colour. An easy, casual colour that can be swept on for a touch of shine and moisture. Again, this line is not intended to give the pigmentation or have the lasting power of the other Chanel lipsticks: Rouge Allure or Rouge Coco. Although so sheer, it gives a visible pink flush on my already pigmented lips.

In terms of texture, they become fluid in contact with the lips and provide a stunning gloss effect with natural shine. I think they are very close to the Dior Rouge Serums ( reviewed here ) in every way: texture, pigmentation, glossiness, lasting power, even the price tag is almost the same.

Unfortunately these two shades are discontinued, but you can try your luck with some sellers on eBay. Last time I checked, you could still find Aventure on www.aoro.ro. Right now, the Rouge Coco Shine has a permanent collection of 18 luminous shades, from nude beige to tangy red.

What are your opinions on the Coco Shines? Do you love them or hate them?

See you soon, beautiful!

INTERESTING FACT:

“From her first successes to magical encounters, the shade names of these lipsticks tell the story of Coco Chanel at the dawn of her destiny”, says on their webside. So, #54 Boy – wears the name of Arthur Capel, also known as “Boy”, Gabrielle’s first and only true love, the man who helped her open her first shop in #67 Deauville. #62 Monte Carlo – in 1931, while living in Monte Carlo, Chanel made the acquaintance of Samuel Goldwyn and started to produce costumes for MGM stars, at Hollywood. #61 Bonheur – Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel was her complete name…
