Chanel Rouge Allure Glosses have finally arrived in the US in ten different colors ($34 each for 6 ml/0.20 fl oz). The newly released lipglosses are a color and shine lip product packaged in a long clickable tube similar to the Rouge Allure Lipsticks. I’ve been a huge fan of Chanel glosses in general and the new Rouge Allure Gloss does not disappoint. (These are replacing the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss formulas). I picked out five different shades:
- Sensuel 11 is a perfect medium beige nude
- Affriolant 13 is a hot warm pink
- Sensible 15 is a softer warm baby pink
- Séduction 18 is a stunning soft red
- Distinction 21 is a gorgeous deep plum
The Rouge Allure Glosses are truly phenomenal. The formula is thick but smooth. There is a slight tacky feeling when you apply which makes them adhere to the lips well but at the same time they aren’t sticky. The new Rouge Allure Glosses come with a sponge tip applicator which is almost identical the older Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss formula. The difference is that the new ones have slightly better pigment. The Rouge Allure Gloss has a really nice feel on the lips – it helps smooth them, plump them and add just the right amount of shine and color. They also stay put well (as in they don’t bleed around the edges of the lip and don’t disappear after 10 minutes).

The colors I tested are easy to apply and blend. A couple swipes is all you need for medium coverage but they are definitely layerable for more color. The sponge tip applies to the lips perfectly – no lip brush or finger blending needed. The tip has a slight point at the tip so you can get precise application around the edges while the wider base allows you to glide across larger areas of your lip.
A closer look at the packaging shows that Chanel once again was able to revamp one of their classic products with an updated modern look while still retaining the classic Chanel feel, old Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss vs new Rouge Allure Gloss:

Swatched on the lips, most of these shown below are with two swipes. You can definitely add one more swipe to layer each shade for more coverage and color.
It’s pure love for these. In my mind these glosses have everything I want in a lip gloss: smooth coverage, soothing hydrating feel, medium shine, layerable color with good pigment. They just feel incredible on the lips. I give these a huge thumbs up. I’m sad to see the older Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss formula go, but the new Rouge Allure Glosses are really amazing. There’s a slight hint of shimmer in each color I have but it doesn’t really show up on the lips. I love that the colors are classics with a modern feel and that they also have depth. For me these fall into the “need” and I think you really need to try at least one. They are a luxurious splurge but worth every penny.
The Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss retails for $34 each. You can find them now at all Chanel stores and counters. Online now at Nordstrom, Saks, Bloomingdales and Chanel.com.
I saw this on Sunny's blog yesterday and now on yours. It's a sign! Which is your favourite amongst the five? I think they all look lovely on you.
Oh my, I can't pick just one! I really love the plum Distinction because plums often pull really red on my lips or too vampy, the Chanel is just perfect.
I like Sensible for an everyday soft pink, I think this one will suit most neutral lovers.
I rarely like to wear reds, but Seduction is a subdued red.
Tough pick!
Great picks Sabrina!
I have two shades of these myself and I'm amazed with the formula.
Great pigmentation plus a very nice hydrating formula, it's nothing but love!
Wow, these look AMAZING on you. You are stunning!
Thanks for all the hard work you put into your blog, it's lovely.

Pretty colors indeed! I am eyeing on that Seduction. I like red because it makes my lips sexy and kissable 🙂
I love the color sensuel 11 on you! It looks like a gloss you can wear everyday if you wanted to. 🙂
These look lovely and really affordable! Perhaps even I can own a slice of Chanel!

I have Sensuel and Seduction. and I think Seduction looks amazing on you 🙂
Thanks for the great swatches. They all look beautiful on you. Love them!
You are not the favorite of my wallet right now! Just ordered Distinction – it looks beautiful on you!
Love both Affriolant and Seduction on you! Will get those two when the collection arrives here in Manila. 🙂
Seduction and Sensual are great colours! They're so pigmented for a gloss.
Thank you for the review, will definitely check them out myself!
Distinction 21 looks really great!
Lots of love, xx

Love your blog, loooong time follower, first time commenting.
I love Distinction & Seduction! I am not usually a gloss girl, but I've found myself looking for a couple to fill my void. I love my YSL Glossy Stains, therefore I usually just use those when I am wanting to wear a gloss.
Anyhow, can you please speak to the lasting power? IE: Am I going to have reapply right after I take a sip of water?
Thank you so much!
Love it can't wait to have it
I really love these glosses. I have Affriolant and it is a lovely colour and goes on beautifully. Thank you so much for reviewing all the colours and presenting the blog so professionally. I am thinking of buying Seduction, I am after a nice soft red that isn't harsh. So many reds out there but not many that light up the face.
