"Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together"

...One of my favourite quotes from timeless beauty Elizabeth Taylor.

I have to admit, I have been brought up on Chanel lipsticks my whole life. My mum has to have bought a bullet from every summer and winter collection since her first pay check! Now don't get my wrong, a secret money tree does not grow in our garden but my mum always says "I don't drink, I don't smoke!"

Moving the intro on quickly, my prom is on Thursday and my angel of a Mum purchased this gorgeous Chanel lipstick for me in the shade Satisfaction 89.

This Rouge Coco Shine claims to be hydrating lasting a total of 8 hours while remaining light weight. If that wasn't enough to entice anyone to purchase a Chanel lippie, the "melt away balm" is meant to provide a natural shine so there is no need for lipgloss (you probably guessed from the name anyway)

 

As you can see the lipstick is a fairly nude, but with my lips the story is slightly different.

Here are my natural lips...

With the lipstick...

As you can see it is very sheer, if your eyeshadow like mine for your makeup look is bold then this colour would be fab! Evidently, the transparency of the nude from my hand and then on my lips changes but it still has that nudish tone slightly on the lips surface. My mum thought the lipstick looked coraly nude at first probably due to my natural colouring. I know my mum has different skin colour and undertones to me but she still looked great in this particular shade so I imagine it would suit most people. 

Howerer, I would have to agree with the statement of the shine and moisture it gives! It is wonderfully soft and genuinely feels like you spent £25 on a lipstick. The smell is classic for its kind and not overpowering if that's an annoyance to you. 

Despite the fact I adore this lipstick, I think you could definatley find a cheaper alternative but, I could not guarantee the same quality of a shiny but not disco ball sheen.

As for longevity, the moisture lasts but not quite the colour. Though, it is a nude and a balm so, I didn't really expect it too look overwhelming vibrant. 

Overall this product would be a 8/10 for me due to its chic packaging and stunning sheen, maybe a 10 but the price was slightly of point for the amount of time the colour lasts. But if you can't afford the bag, then get this lipstick!
