Hi Girls,
For what seems like the longest time, I have heard about THE 10C red and other lovely reds in between and wondered how I had let them pass me by. I started to wonder if I would ever cross paths with THE red that was just perfect for me.
Some of you kindly suggested beautiful pre-loved red flaps but I passed on those for various reasons - thank you again. I was ecstatic at all the positive comments about the 12A red but became concerned when I heard that it was darker IRL than in photos.
I was hoping for a true red, nothing like a dark red with wine/burgundy undertones.. but I was grateful that I got on a wait list a while back to check this baby out.
I received my purchase yesterday, and the minute I took a peek inside the lovely white Chanel dustbag, all I could think to myself was, "OMG, this is IT, the red that I have been searching for!"
I know that many are curious about what shade of red this is (I sure was!), so I searched my house for a red that I could compare it to and finally found it! It is almost exactly like a Cartier red. Sorry in advance but I posted quite a lot of photos from different lighting, angles in hopes that these pics would be helpful. And actually, compared to the Cartier red, this red looks more ravishing as it has a very slight sheen. It can look dark and a bit muted in the shade, but in the light, oh my, it is an utterly striking lipstick red! It's also like a deep strawberry color...just yummy! Now I don't have to wonder about any other reds as this is the PERFECT one for me.
Thanks so much for visiting!!
