One of my favorite bloggers Mirifique Beauty was hosting a giveaway of a Chanel Lipstick of the winners choice and excitingly I won! So, after a lot of umming and ahhing, I finally chose the shade Excentrique out of the Allure range.
I am a big, big fan of coral and orange toned lipsticks and this does not disappoint!
Chanel Allure Excentrique

Not just that, but the packaging is gorgeous, which you wouldn’t expect less from a Chanel product!
The colour? Amazing. Bright? Yes. Orange? Most definitely! Am I pleased? Extremely! I was slightly worried that it wouldn’t suit me, but I am happy to say that it does (at least I think so, anyway!).
The consistency is gorgeous, which I expected and applies to the lip effortlessly with a brilliant staying power. If you are looking for a more daring and orange toned colour, with a few more pennies to treat yourself, then I couldn’t recommend this more. Yes, it is pricey, but I don’t think you can get much better than Chanel – and that is coming from a MAC lover!
Overall, 10 out of 10 and I am so glad I chose this color. And once again, thank you Mirifique Beauty for my lovely prize!
