I finally chased down my sample of Chanel Hydrabase "Moiré" lipstick and wore it yesterday.
Wearing is believing...I'd forgotten how good this stuff is. Zero bleeding: the outline stayed exactly as I had applied it, hours later. It faded a tad in the center, but not much; simply a matter of dabbing some back in (or, conversely, applying slightly more in the center to begin with). Basically it was, put it on and forget about it. And it looked good.
The color Moiré is plummier than I'd remembered. It's primarily warm-toned plum, with some brown, some brick red, and the finish is matte, although the lipstick itself is moist. It's a classical, rather than trendy, shade.

Sounds pretty, did you take a pic?

I have a really lousy picture of it in the image gallery lol. But I hesitate to link to it (it's still there, but I took it when it had faded...it looks more rose brown than plum there).

I say go for it! A superlative lipstick, no matter how expensive, will do the work of many.
