As you can tell from the photo above… my red lip issues are slightly out of hand. This photo represents only what I could quickly grab… if I’d actually go through my stash I’d be sure to find at least double. Clearly, I love a red lip almost as much as a nude and neutral lip.
Of course, Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque is my favorite. It has been a part of my stash since the announcement to discontinue it (what.the.eff.) and on my lemming list well before that. It’s rich, saturated, and powerful. Everything a red lip SHOULD be. The doe-foot applicator is my favorite and helped to apply Dragon opaquely all over the lip.
The formula isn’t a stay-the-day type, but leaves a very slight staining on the lips, and really isn’t difficult to reapply (though, let’s not try to kid ourselves, you will need a mirror).
If you’re interested in seeing more pics of Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque, here is the link to my original swatches and review. Below are some quick pics of swatches and a photo of the product… these swatches do differ slightly from the original review, as I have a new camera and I’m sure the lighting was different. Color wise, the photos below are more accurate.

Beautiful!
thank you!
I too absolutely adored Dragon and was sad to see it discontinued! I recently tried the new Lacquer Rouge by Shiseido and shade RD607 Nocturne is a very close dupe, the texture is also very similar. You should definitely check them out

thank you! I am hoping they bring them back. The whole line was full of fabulous colors
I have and love this but I don’t wear it often…maybe I should soon!
even though it isn’t the longest lasting of my reds, I definitely reach for it the most!
You do like your red lips, don’t you. You probably laughed at my post. I know from others though that the Chanel is amazing and your pictures make it look gorgeous.

Why o Why did they discontinue it before I could get my hands on it? Silly Chanel

You can try your counters! Can’t hurt to ask. I really wish they’d have kept this formula.
You’re killing me! I tried to pick this up when it was discontinued, but it was suddenly sold out everywhere near me. I’m dying! So pretty!
