It’s definitely prettily brown @Titian06 . I remember seeing Allfiesty swatches and thinking the same. I think Libre probably the best comparing to 60, 61 @Winthrop44 . I might get Libre after all

[Winthrop44]

@blackkitty2014  I have also been eyeing 63 and 64. Have you ever tried 62 Libre? I know it's not new with this release, but can't say I remember when it did come out. I guess it's one of the ones they'll be repromoting with the spring collection.

[Titian06]

Thanks for the tag, @blackkitty2014 !  These colors look great on you!  They also are helpful for me to make a decision.  I really want a basic* red and Rouge Vie looks so much nicer than I expected.  51 would probably be a basic red on my neutral undertone and pasty white skin.

*By basic, I mean not a red that is obviously orange, pink, berry leaning; just red. 💄

[Winthrop44]

@Titian06  @blackkitty2014 @Sunnysmom  I think I’ve decided to get Rouge Charnel, 56, not new to this collection 😆 and maybe 63.  I’ll probably wait until the next collection comes out to order.

[Sunnysmom]

Sounds like a good decision @Winthrop44. Charnel is so pretty! I can’t wait to see 63. It looks like such a good muted pinky. Love it. 

[blackkitty2014]

56 and 63 look liked winners @Winthrop44 🌹 I will hoard 63 too 🥰

[blackkitty2014]

@Titian06 @Winthrop44 I need to look at whatever I have but I’m afraid I’m useless there since I like to hoard brick red or rustic reds. But Chanel has so many pretty reds over the year.

[Winthrop44]

@Titian06 Did you ever try True Red Ink? That is gorgeous! I think they may have dc'd it but dept stores may still have it.

[Titian06]

No, I'm not familiar with that one, @Winthrop44 , so I Googled it.  Now that's what I'm talking about! 🤩💋💄

[Winthrop44]

@Titian06 Jessica Clements did a YouTube video where she raved about it and I think suggested a sub for people who couldn't find it. If I can find that video I'll update with the other shade name.

Okay, I found the video but it won’t help. Sorry. She actually wears another true red that I love (RA Powder - remember them? - in Invincible) in the video (A Surprise Delivery from Chanel) and then recommends True Red Ink as a sub for that in the Info Box below the video, because the powders had already been dc’d. She also uses and calls Rouge Coco Bloom 138 Vitalite a true red in her 2021 video Natural Day to Night Makeup. You’d think Live Chat could just recommend a true red in the Velvets. I don’t know about you but I can pretty much never get thru on Live Chat anymore. @blackkitty2014 would know better than me but I think at least in swatches and videos I’ve seen 51 looks warmer than a true red. I think Rouge Vie looks the closest to neutral of the ones I’ve seen swatched recently but maybe has a smidge of brown/warmth in it? Not sure. I wonder if Rouge Charnel is a true red? What do you think @blackkitty2014 and @Sunnysmom?

[Sunnysmom]

I’m finding it challenging to find a true red in the new shades @Winthrop44 and all. Did a deep dive into all my Chanel lips and going to post them soon. None seem to be a true red in this new collection unless it’s 53 or 54 and I don’t think they are either. I did just order them as well because mine are very pinky purple red which I love but… they look very very similar to me. 🤦🏻‍♀️ On my lips they are better and I can tell the variance but still. I think they need to add a few more true reds as you’re talking about. I will swatch my inks and liquids after I do the red lips. Others are above. This is a good exercise. Also in decluttering! (Why do they all look the same. 😳😂)

[Winthrop44]

@Sunnysmom Yes!!!  After poring over online swatches all day I completely agree with your assessment! Thanks again for all the swatches. Looks like a very fun project to me. 😊💄 I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on 53 and 54.

[Titian06]

Aaaawwww, @Winthrop44 !  You are so kind to do so much sleuthing for me! 😘  I like both 51 and 58...decisions, decisions! 😄

[Winthrop44]

@Titian06 So do I!💄

[Sunnysmom]

The new Allure Velvet lip shades are up on Chanel now. 💄Looking forward to the spring collection! My SA said Mar 1 so prob Feb and second part w darling LE blush April 1 so prob March. She says it is only one for the US. 🤷🏻‍

Also the large quad is combo eye and cheek I guess.

Love this brand..It is like " crack" when something new comes out..Spring shadow quad looks beautiful.Worked for them in fragrance a while back.Wish they still made #5  Elixir.

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom   Rouge Allure Velvet 64 Eternelle looks so pretty on the site.  And the blush and Delices eye quartet!  Thanks for warning me so I can save up for these. 🙂

[Sunnysmom]

64 looks lovely @Ispend2much6 ! So many pretties! It’s always a good time to plan our priorities and buys I think! 💞

[sister13]

Oh, I will have to have that blush/highlight! I was just photographing some of my LE Chanel highlighters and thinking I have t been tempted much lately, but this one looks amazing! The mascara looks interesting and I can’t wait to see the eye/cheek in person to judge. @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

Def some interesting new products @sister13 , me too! I went through my Chanel blush and highlighters and while I probably  definitely have enough it appears there is a slight opening for this new one! 😳🤣 A soft fuschia sounds pretty perfect to me! 

[Winthrop44]

Thanks so much @Sunnysmom! Interesting that the Velvets will kind of be repromotes by Feb. I’m more excited for the second part in Mar/April.
