I can't believe I've waited this long to tell you about Pirate. I knew I wanted to buy a Chanel lipstick before we went to Paris last year as I had never tried one before and what better place to pick up my first one. It took me a while to finally decide the formula and shade that I wanted and in the end I chose a lipstick from the Rouge Allure formula as it was described as "Luminous, full colour, longwearing lipstick" which is exactly the kind of lipstick I like to wear, especially when it comes to reds.
This shade is more blue/pink in tone than MAC's Russian Red which I have compared it to above as it's the closest shade I had to it in my collection. It applies very smoothly and has a beautiful satin finish with a rich colour. It's fragrance free so it won't annoy those you you with sensitive noses. As you would expect with anything Chanel, the packaging is so beautifully sleek, to open it you push down the gold Chanel symbol at the top and the lipstick pops out which I thought was a nice touch and a little different to other high end lipstick packaging.
I don't have a bad word to say about this, it lasts really well, even longer with lip liner and along with Russian Red is my go to lipstick for glamorous red lips. I've been trying to save it for "special occasions" but I think now that we're coming into Autumn again I'm going to try and wear it more often, there's no point in saving something so gorgeous only for special occasions.
These cost around €30.50 and they are worth every cent.

Are there any products you're looking forward to using more in Autumn?
