Last Thursday was the worldwide debut of Chanel’s new Rouge Coco lipstick, the hydrating new formula named after the brand’s founder. Fortunately, this weekend I was able to swatch the full range of shades. And equally exciting: this week’s giveaway prize is a brand new Rouge Coco lipstick — in the winner’s choice of shade!
Here’s how it works:
- This giveaway starts today and ends on Sunday, March 7, at midnight.
- You can enter once per day. (If you enter more than once per day, only the first entry will be counted.)
- This giveaway is open to readers anywhere in the world.
- A winner will be selected at random from the valid entries.
To enter, leave a comment on this post, and tell me: what makeup product/tool/technique did you say you would never use, but now you do? (I ask silly questions to filter out the spam. They’re also interesting to read.)
Winners will be contacted by email, so please use an email address you check (addresses will be hidden, and will not be used for any purpose other than contacting the winner).
Good luck!






I don’t really use blush, I haven’t found one that looks natural with my skin colour~
I never thought I’d use green concealer again after my scary face in junior high, but I do. I just know how to apply it now.
Eyelash primer
I never thought I would do tight lining.
Colored concealer. Now I love Armani’s master corrector.
Mineral makeup, I didn’t think it would be as good as it is.
I used to hate the idea of wearing lipstick because it just seems like an old-lady product, but I found out that- surprise!- some lipsticks are actually really young and wearable!
White eyeliner. I used to think it’s gross, now I use it as a highlight and in the water line.
Eyelash curler
Concealer and bronzing powder, I used to think these products are a waste… now I changed my mind.
Sun screen – I won’t spend a day without it nowadays.
I never thought I’d wear bronzer because of my coloring, but I wear it quite often now.
shimmering powder..i love it now
concealer
.
I never thought that I would use shimmer bricks and now I do and own at least 4….
I never thought I would use primers, either lip or eye primers. But it does make a difference esp with my lips; since i have pigmented lips and thought all my lipsticks were mlbb.
I thought I would NEVER wear lipstick…until recently this year, I’ve been obsessed! I feel like my lipstick collection is building up so quickly!
I use to never care for blush, now I like it a lot. It’s my favorite make up now.
Primer, never thought of it. But it does make a difference :]
I never thought I’d tightline ~ but once I saw proper instructions…WOW.
Concealer.
I never thought I would use lipliner. I had no idea what was the use for it…now when I wear lipstick…I can see a difference.
Definitely sunscreen. I didn’t realise the benefits of it!
Eyelash Primer
MAC foundation
I now use it ALL the time, it’s my favorite!
gel liner. I never thought I would tight line but WOW!
Becca shimmer powders
creamy eyeshadows! they don’t crease!!
Last one, um, high end mascara. I always said I wasn’t going to use high end mascaras until I found Guerlain’s Le 2 and Givenchy’s Phenomen’eyes mascara. Way better than any drugstore brand.
Nude lipliner … matches every lip color.
Eyeshadow primer. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing…until I tried it.
I never thought I’d use more than one eyeshadow color. I used to be a single-eyeshadow girl for the longest time!
I thought I would never use liquid foundation when I first started using mineral makeup, but now I like both!
Bronzing powder.. until I discovered nars laguna
I never thought i would use an metal eyelash comb to comb out the mascara clumps.
But it’s a great tool to use
Cream eyeshadows
Lipstick all the time now. I’m older!
I never thought I’d use blush, but now I love it!
I never thought I’d wear nude lipstick. While I still don’t put anything on my lips that looks like concealer, I have found that a soft, my-lips-but-better shade is easier to wear and more professional than bright colors.
I never thought I would wear green eyeliner and shadow but now I love it!
I didn’t care for liquid liner.
Blush! I’m naturally very blushed but now I’m obsessed!!!!!
Lip Conditioner, using it makes a big difference.
Wearing liquid foundation. I switched to mineral makeup a few years ago and thought I would never go back. Then I met Revlon’s PhotoReady.
I don’t use it much now but I did try Milk of Magnesia as a primer a couple of years ago, something I thought I’d never do!
Liquid and gel eyeliner. I used to be really bad at applying eyeliner so always had to use kohls so coul smudge them out. But now, I can’t live without these two!
Bronzers! If use carefully they are a nice.
I never thought I would use lip liner, but now I don’t leave home without it.
Blush — used to hate it, now can’t live with it.
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Even though there are a lot of hypes about it, I was skeptical, plus I dun like the ingredients. But now they have a new formula Eden. I gave in and bought it lol.
