Chanel has revamped its iconic gloss into a new formula called Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss ($45 each). As a longtime Chanel fan I was thrilled to be invited to preview this at the Chanel Beauty Boutique in Brickell Miami.
OG beautylookbook readers may remember that Chanel inspired my first blog post back in 2009 with the Celestial Lights Glossimers (RIP). Chanel Beauty will always have a special place in my heart. To those who have stuck around, thank you so much! When I was 20 years old, I would never have dreamed that this would become my career.
I shared morefrom the event here. If you’re in Miami this summer I think it’s a great pop to visit!
The new Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss is better than I imagined! I didn’t think they could suggest the final formula but somehow they have. It’s bittersweet to have so many great shades discontinued and I still hope they bring back some of the original shades from years ago (ie Seashell, Unity, Blizzard, etc.) The new formula is close to the last but definitely improved. It is somewhat smooth with a slightly thinner texture. It is very moisturizing but does not slide off the lips. It shines with a high gloss. I personally find the pigment a little opaque with most of the shades I’ve tried.
The Chanel team gave us three shades in a bag at the event, but because I can’t control myself I ended up buying a few to bring home. I think every single color is wearable. I still have a few more on my wish list, but for now here’s a look at what I bought.
Lips below, also wear:
Cristal is a bright pink color, with no crystal clear feel.
_____
Charms is a perfect baby pink, with a medium body but good visibility
_____
Impertinente is a caramel shade (Accessoire is close but very nude)
_____
Bijou is the shade ROUGE COCO HYDRA GLOSS The Voice Analyzer said my game is based on my voice, I really like this one!
_____
Reflet is a pale lavender pink
_____
Superposition is the prettiest peach with a golden shimmer
_____
Solaire is a red coral
_____
Fabuleuse is the clearest, pale yellow, but looks like a clear gloss
_____
I didn’t have time to swatch them with all the lips but I hope this gives you a good idea of what the colors look like!
I am 100% impressed. I already can’t wait for more colors to be released for my future collection. They also have new Le Vernis nail colors and the Summer Nights collection out. I don’t know how soon I will be able to look or review but I think the nail colors are really nice.

If you have an SA to buy from or your nearest Chanel Beauty Boutique they sell a separate gloss case that fits 2 lip glosses inside.
