Confession: I may have a bit of a lipstick hoarding problem going on. Having tried my fair share of lip products, from Merit, Prada, CTZN, Refy and the lot, I’m pretty attuned to what makes a good formula, from longevity to wearability. So, now that Chanel—the brand behind a slew of cult-favorite lippies—has launched a new shine collection of its satin lip balm, aka the Rouge Coco Baume Shine ($45), I’m eager to get my hands on any of the six shades.

Don’t think of this as another matte or velvet lipstick, folks. In fact, it’s not to be confused with Chanel’s best-selling Rouge Allure lipstick, a nourishing matte lipstick that instantly became a hit for its moisturizing formula and non-bleeding finish. The Rouge Coco Baume Shine is actually a tinted lip balm with a sheer-to-pigmented finish, thanks to its buildable coverage.
With one single coat, you can expect to see a gorgeous wash of color sweep your natural lip shade, giving you the perfect everyday look for running errands or heading to work. For special nights out, try applying the hydrating formula two to three times and watch as it brings a rich pigment to your lips.
