Chanel 002 (640x423)

Mark your calendars now for the February 25th release date of Chanel’s newest lipstick collection, Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lipcolor.   A new long-lasting hydrating lipstick created by Peter Philips, Chanel’s Global Creative Director for makeup.  

Mr. Philips’ goal – bring the lip gloss wearers back to the sexy lipstick.   According to WWD, “Women seem to have forgotten how to apply lipstick,” lamented Peter Philips. “We have a whole generation of lip-gloss girls. Now, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with lip gloss — but there is something so feminine about the act of applying lipstick. I want to make lipstick as easy to apply as lip gloss, and for a long-lasting formula to feel comfortable on the lips.”  This new line will replace the existing Hydrabase line of lipsticks – which they are discontinuing the classic Coco Red and Coco Pink since the Hydrabase is being discontinued.   Supposedly they were unable to match the shades with the new formula.  So get your Coco Red and Coco Pink before they are gone forever!   

There are 30 shades in the new line at $30 each.  The lipstick case will be black metal, not the plastic that’s been used in recent years, and with a wide gold band and of course the interlocking C’s.  I know I have February 25th marked on my calendar – do you?
