Chanel Rouge Allure Coquette Spring Collection 2011

The Chanel Rouge Allure in Coquette is another one of my buys from the spring collection. I skipped the Rouge Cocos in Peregrina and Jersey Rose because I did not like the formulation as much. I didn't buy Flamboyante Rouge Allure because it is described as a strawberry red. I like my reds but don't need so many of them. When I opened up Coquette I noticed immediately that it was a much warmer pink than Insolente. I'm not sure why but I thought that Coquette would be more of a vibrant pink like Insolente.

Strange though, when I placed Coquette and Insolente side by side, they look quite similar when I took photos. Insolente being more of a blue pink.

The sky was quite downcast when I took the earlier shots. So I decided to wait till it got brighter. Somehow I failed to get a good shot of Coquette. The above shot looks too dark!

You can definitely see the difference in the swatches. Coquette is a warm peachy pink that looks brighter on lips than when swatched. You can see that Insolente is a bubblegum blue pink.

I really love the colour. With the muted fresh peach blush combined with a bright rose pink lips, perfect for spring.
