Source verdict

The reviewer highly recommends the Rhode Peptide Lip Tints and the reformulated Chanel Rouge Coco Hydra Glosses, deeming them must-haves. She found the Rhode luminizer to be similar to a Chanel product but preferred Chanel's texture, and advised against purchasing the Rhode Peptide Lip Shape liners due to poor longevity. The Guerlain Kiss Kiss Bee Glow lipsticks were praised for their creamy, lightweight feel and long-lasting formula.

About this source

This video reviews several new luxury beauty launches for summer, focusing on products from the Rhode Summer Collection, Chanel Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss shades, and Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Pearly Lipsticks. The reviewer provides hands-on demonstrations, compares formulas, and offers her opinions on what products are worth purchasing.

Review notes

The new Chanel Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss reformulation is a must-have for anyone seeking luxurious, high-shine lip products, significantly improving upon its predecessor. The glosses deliver an unreal glow and beautiful, non-chunky pearlescent shimmer, feeling nicer and non-sticky on the lips compared to the previous formula; the reviewer explicitly stated they much rather have the newer formula. If you appreciate luxury lip glosses with exceptional shine and a comfortable, non-sticky feel, this launch is highly recommended. However, if you prefer a very opaque color payoff from your glosses, you might want to layer these over lipstick as they maintain a translucent finish.

What the reviewer liked

  • Completely reformulated for the better
  • Unreal glow and beautiful pearlescent shimmer
  • Not chunky or sticky
  • Exceptional shine
  • Feels nicer on the lips than the previous formula
  • Many beautiful shades available
  • Versatile for wearing alone or layering over lipstick

What the reviewer criticised

  • Sheer, translucent finish might not provide enough color payoff for users seeking opaque lip color
