Chanel Hydrabase Lipstick- Poise (118)




Chanel Hydrabase Lipstick in Poise (no. 118) seems to be a Nordstrom exclusive and flies somewhat under the radar. The formula is the usual Hydrabase- cream/satin and is Chanel's longest lasting lip product. Poise is an almost matte warm red with a somewhat brown base. This shade is very balanced and elegant, and depending on your coloring, can be a good daytime red.

While the texture is a bit dry, it still doesn't make the lips look pruny and wears nicely without flaking. I usually prefer to top it with a layer of lip gloss, but it's not really necessary.

Chanel Hydrabase Lipsticks ($28.50) are available from every decent department store and chanel.com. Poise can be found at Nordstrom, online and in store. Beware of a few online vendors that charge extra for this color.

All photos are mine. Ignore the purple swatch in the last picture. I think it's a Nars or something.
