Well, she finally arrived and I couldn’t be more thrilled with Le Distinguée – a peach/pink (she’s more peach than pink) beauty! If you’ve read any of my Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet reviews you know I adore this formulation. It’s a smooth matte that feels like silk gliding along my lips and wears like she knows what she’s doing!
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet, Le Distinguée
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet, Le Distinguée. By far this is the best matte formulation I’ve tried because it doesn’t feel like a matte lipstick! I find myself looking in the mirror to make sure I still have “lips” on. Rouge Allure Velvet feels so lightweight you hardly notice you have anything on your lips. It feels like the smoothest balm and is quite hydrating. I wouldn’t normally wear a matte lipstick in warm months but this one is light as air and is peach perfection!

During summer months, I prefer light fabrics and light feeling makeup. That’s why I prefer to wear glossy finish lipsticks versus a heavier finish like that of a matte. But when I heard Chanel had a new online exclusive (limited edition) Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick I immediately placed my order!
Unlike many matte lipsticks that feel drying, look heavy and sometimes cake on the lips, I find the Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet formulation to feel silky smooth, surprisingly hydrating, light in texture, yet gives me an opaque full color pout!
As soon as I receive the new shade, La Distinguée – described as a peach-pink – I’ll be sure to share photos and swatches with you. In the meantime, do you wear matte lipsticks in the summer or do you prefer a sheer, light finish on lips?

I wouldn’t place this deep purple/violet creamy matte shade in the Spring or Summer category of usual suspects but when a color is this good it can stand all on it’s own year round!
