And since I only get presents mostly from myself, I finally decided to get a Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Pygmalion, a limited edition shade from the L’ete Papillon de Chanel Summer 2013 collection. I was never really a lipstick person. This confession, I know, might shock some. In a world obsessed with the perfect pout, the perfectly applied lip color, I’d always preferred the ease and nonchalance of a bare lip. The idea of meticulously applying lipstick, worrying about feathering, smudging, or reapplication throughout the day, felt… restrictive. Makeup, to me, had always been about enhancing, not masking or constructing. A little mascara, perhaps some blush – that was my comfort zone. Lipstick, however, felt like crossing a line, venturing into a territory I wasn't quite ready to explore.
But Pygmalion… Pygmalion changed everything.
This wasn’t just any lipstick. This was a Chanel Rouge Coco Shine, a legendary product in its own right, and a limited edition shade at that. The allure of the exclusive, the whisper of a fleeting beauty – these factors played a significant role in my decision. But beyond the marketing and the prestige, it was the color itself that truly captivated me. Pygmalion, a soft, shimmering rose-nude, promised a subtle enhancement, a barely-there flush of color that would complement my natural lip tone rather than overpower it. It was the perfect bridge between my minimalist makeup philosophy and the siren call of a beautifully colored lip.
My initial hesitation vanished the moment I swiped the lipstick across my lips. The texture was unlike anything I'd experienced before. The Chanel Rouge Coco Shine line is renowned for its hydrating formula, and Pygmalion lived up to the hype. It wasn't just moisturizing; it was luxuriously so. The balm-like consistency glided on effortlessly, feeling more like a nourishing lip treatment than a traditional lipstick. There was a subtle sheen, a delicate luminosity that added dimension without appearing overly glossy or sticky. The color itself was incredibly versatile. In softer light, it appeared almost translucent, a gentle enhancement of my natural lip color. Under brighter lights, it revealed a subtle shimmer and a delicate rose tone that added a touch of sophisticated elegance.
The staying power, while not comparable to a long-wear matte lipstick, was surprisingly impressive for such a hydrating formula. It lasted for several hours, requiring only minimal touch-ups throughout the day. More importantly, it didn't dry out my lips, a common complaint with many long-lasting lipsticks. The comfort level was exceptional. I could easily forget I was wearing it, a testament to its lightweight, non-sticky formula. This was a revelation – a lipstick that felt as good as it looked.
