MakeUp Review: Chanel Rouge Allure in Maniac (147)

I'm into the plum/prune shade these days only because I already have a lip liner to match it with. So I went on my lipstick search with my gal pal, L. We ended up at the Chanel counter and found "THE" one. When I used it the next day here's what I noticed.... it's very very plum indeed and found it a bit thick when applying it. Morticia is that you?? So a lip brush is highly recommended for application. And since I found it too dark I blotted it first before putting gloss over it. (Oh don't forget that my lipliner is already in place from the start)....From the gloss I was able to lighten the shade and so I was confident again. Thanks L for my Christmas gift.:))
