Chanel Rouge Coco Baume Review

  During last September, I bought Chanel's lip balm! I was very excited to try this product because when I was in Chicago, I had heard that it was very hydrating and was a very intensive dry lips treatment from the very nice woman who helped me at the Chanel Boutique and was ready to put these claims to the test! I headed to my nearest Dillard's and purchased it with a huge smile on my face!

The Rouge Coco Baume packaging

  When I arrived at home, I un-boxed the tube and just sat there, looking at its black and gold shiny exterior, just soaking the beauty in. I finally decided that I should actually try it when I woke up the next morning and realized that I had marveled at the packaging without even trying the product.When I applied the balm to my lips, I felt ROYAL. The balm went on very smoothly, had a nice, shiny finish, and was not at all gummy, sticky, or heavy on my lips!
  Later in the day I realized that the balm had worn off and that I needed another coat. This was saddening because I had payed so much for the beauty and hydration of the product, but it soaked in so quickly that it left my lips parched... WANTING MORE. Here I am, about 4-5 months later, and the product is almost gone! I enjoyed many things about the product such as...
- Smooth consistency
- Shiny finish
- Lightweight feel on lips
- Beautiful packaging
- Little to no scent or flavor

  But, sadly, the cons are way too important to the overall product that I will not be purchasing it again. These include...
- High price (30 US $)
- Short period of coverage
- Dry lips still evident after usage
- Parched feel after soaking into lips

Sorry, Chanel. I am hoping to see a better balm from you in the future!
