CHANEL ROUGE DOUBLE INTENSITE ULTRA WEAR LIP COLOR
I am not a red lipstick sort of gal, but this is a terrific blue-red with good lasting power, and it's my go-to on those rare occasions when I want red lips. I always find the darker long-wearing lipsticks flake off in an uneven, flaky manner as the day goes by, but this one is pretty solid. It won't leave nasty red lipmarks on your coffee cup and will still have plenty of color left at the end of...read more the day, even if it's not a perfect as it was in the morning. I also like the gloss portion of the Chanels - very silky and moisturizing. One of the best long-wearing reds out there; certainly the best I've ever tried. All of the Chanel Rouge Double Intensite lipsticks are such an underrated product, perhaps the best of all the lipsticks Chanel has to offer behind Rouge Allures. It's a long-lasting liquid lipstick with color on one end and a clear gloss on the other. Slight vanilla scent, but not overwhelming. Unlike other lipsticks of similar style, this wears off evenly instead of flaking. I get a good 7-8 hours. As for Ruby Lite, it's a warm-toned, berry-ish red. Very pretty alone with just a dab of the gloss for work, or gloss all over for a night look. A tip: Rather than using the doefoot applicator to apply the color, I use a flat concealer brush. Mine is just a cheap one from Posh. It helps the color lay more evenly, creating a gorgeous canvas for the gloss! I did take off one lippie because the gloss end tends to spurt out if you push back in too quickly. Retails for $32. Somebody pinch me. Did my dream really come true? Not only have I finally found my HG red, it also comes in an ultra long-wearing formula that does not come off until I take it off! Let me tell you, I have bought so many red lippies, and although I found some nice shades, I was never satisfied to wear any as is, I always ended up mixing & layering other colors to get the effect I wanted. The Ruby Lite Rouge Double Intensité is the perfect, most flattering shade of red on me, with a hint of shimmer to bring it to life. I wouldn't classify it as a true gloss, because the red color portion is extremely opaque--it's like a paint, or liquid lipstick. It might be slightly on the cool side, which is just how I like my colors (really makes my teeth look white and bright). And talk about long-lasting. I have tried other so-called long wear lip colors, and this is the only one that truly delivers. It applies smoothly, doesn't crack or collect in corners or folds, and isn't drying or irritating to my lips. It stays comfortable and PERFECT all day long, and believe me, I tested it on Thanksgiving, and it survived all the eating, drinking, and kissing all day long. It's also pretty versatile, which was an unexpected boon. With the gloss, it is an intense, high shine red lip. I have also layered the red color over some of my old red lippies (my old MAC Russian Red felt neglected) and I've got an indelible matte look. You can dab on lightly with fingertip for a subtle stain too, or adjust the depth depending on how you apply. Tips: Please make sure lips are exfoliated before using, and apply carefully, because when it sets, it is truly set all day and beyond. It seriously passes the white napkin test. So even though $30 might seem expensive, it's worth every penny. Since you virtually never have to touch up, I think it is a better value than other products you use up more quickly. Will I repurchase? I already have! I love Rouge Double Intensité, but my husband might love it even more--he loves being able to kiss me without getting color smeared all over his & my face. That's the best testimony of all!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 14 of 17 people said helpful

Stays on feels great
Wonderful selection of colors. This lipstick will stay on even after eating. Goes on smooth. Wait a minute and then apply your gloss your good for the day. It is expensive but it lasts.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 10 people said helpful

BEST LIPSTICK EVER!!!
I hated lipstick until I found this! This stays on all day, and it's not dry/cakey. It's got a beautiful finish, and I use the rose color, which is great alone or layered with gloss. I was so impressed with the staying power!! I put it on at 5am and did not reapply until 4pm.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful

Best lipgloss I've ever bought
I read about how great this lip color was, so decided to give it a try. It is the most expensive lip color I've ever bought, but it was worth it. It really doesn't come off. The color is like a stain. You do have to reapply the gloss throughout the day, but the stain stays on - even through drinking and eating! It also has a lovely vanilla smell. I will definitely be purchasing more in a variety of colors!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

most awesome lipcolor
I just purchased the new shade, STRAWBERRY RED, at my local Nordstrom's. I love this color!! I was looking for a red, but not a deep hoochy red, a red that adds color, almost a very healthy red, if you will. Well, the saleslady showed me this beautiful color that JUST CAME IN. I sampled it on myself, noticed that it had the very slightest hint of berry, and immediately purchased it. Chanel Ultrawe...read morear lipcolor is the most awesome, longwearing lipcolor ever!

CHANEL Ultra Wear Lip Color
Do you want color that will last and last? Then this is for you! I highly recommend this lipstick for anyone who wants to put it on once and not have to reapply, specifically, brides, or anyone else that needs staying power. Tip: If you are eating anything that may contain oil, such as a salad with an oil based dressing, this lipstick may break down and start to come off. Also, only use the g...read moreloss that comes on the other end of the wand. It is silicone rather than oil based.

no biggie its only like the bestttt!
This is the best lip gloss I've ever laid my lips and hands on. omg chanel is a genius I've been using this for the past two years and I've not used anything else. I'm so addicted to it i would flip out if i find it empty and I would run to sommerset mall in troy mi and i purchase it i can't go out without it. it last a long time on my lips and in my purse. the last one i bought was in august 2010...read more and now its getting to finishing in december 28 2010. it last that long and i also love it because i wore at my wedding :). the only thing i wish they would change is making only the color without the gloss. i don't use the gloss i only use the color so the gloss is untouched, its a bit pricey but it last for ever.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Pricey But Worth It
I tried several other brands and came back to this Chanel product in the pink pearl. Long lasting, does not dry out the lips like some other long wearing lipsticks and lasts for several hours. Will keep searching for a cheaper alternative, but for now this is the one!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Lovely long lasting lips!
I’m impressed. I purchased this months ago. Used it twice and decided I would return it. The color was nice but the wear was icky, it kept pilling up on me, felt flaky (even with the gloss top coat) and it seemed awfully expensive ($32 USD) for something I can get the same results from w/ a drugstore product. I lost the receipt and procrastinated about returning it for store credit. Final...read morely I decided to give it another go. This time I put it on without any MU on my lips. I always seem to have some sort of powder or foundation transfer on my lips when I apply lipstick 1st thing in the morning. This time it was the evening. I had washed all my makeup off and I was about to hop in the shower. I thought. What a better way to test the “long wearingness†(not a word. I know) of this product than to take a shower and eat dinner with it. Let me tell you. It was going strong after the shower and after dinner, the gloss top coat was gone but the color was still there perfect as ever. No pilling, no awful feel. It was fabulous! The trick to this product is to make sure your lips are completely clean. Wait for the color to dry a bit before putting on the gloss top coat. Reapply gloss top coat only when it is all gone. What makes this different than drugstore bands? The color choices are limited but very unique. The wear is so much nicer and better than anything I have purchased on the cheap and the gloss top coat isn’t sticky at all. You hardly feel it on. It’s like having perfect moisturized lips without a sticky, greasy, gloopy feel. As for the color…I purchased Rose Pearl. It’s a frosty rose, but a warm rose as I’m a MAC NC20/Chanel .5 Limpide and cannot wear cool lip colors. So maybe it’s a neutral rose. I took off one star for the price and one for the packaging as the tube for the clear top coat is black and I cannot see how much product remains. However I do like the fact that the color is a doe foot applicator and the clear top coat is a brush applicator. I am writing this review after eating a bagel w/ butter and hot tea for breakfast and I have only needed to reapply the top coat as the color still looks as fresh as when I applied it this morning. I would definitely repurchase and I plan to get other colors as well.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful
