CHANEL "INDICE BRIQUE" (BRICK)
SELENA'S FAVE LIPSTICK
SELENA'S FAVE LIPSTICK

| Selena 1971 - 1995 |
***UPDATED FEBRUARY 26, 2020*** Due to the overwhelming "interest" in the Chanel Brick lipstick (and the messages I have been receiving the past three days since MAC announced a relaunch), is why I have decided to update all my posts containing mention of the Chanel Brick compact, stressing what I have been saying since 2000! This compact is NOT available online or anywhere. I can guarantee you all, that any so-called brick compact purchased after 1997, when it was discontinued, are without a doubt, 100% COUNTERFEIT. HOW DO I KNOW? Well for starters, I have met numerous times with Chanel Beauty brand reps, even as recent as this week, and it has been confirmed once again. It's sad that some take advantage of fans, just to make a "quick buck". What those of you purchasing these horrible knock-offs should be more concerned with, is not losing your hard-earned money, but rather what ingredients these amateurs are putting in these palettes, which you then put on your lips. ~Ev (You're welcome!)
*********************************************************************************
I can't count the times I have seen a die-hard Selena fan post on social media how they would LOVE to find a replacement lipstick for the late Selena's favorite CHANEL Brick (long discontinued, over 15 years I believe.) Well after responding on Instagram to many Selena fans that Elizabeth Arden makes the same exact shade AND in the same name, they went nuts: Ceramide Ultra Lipstick $22.50 in "Brick" (a light, golden brown.) **NOTE: I purchased my Chanel brick years ago, guard it well, so no, it is not for sale.**

| Me, wearing Elizabeth Arden BRICK |
How do I compare the shades, since I have the actual Chanel Brick that Selena wore? They're the exact same color! Of course I go easy on my Chanel, as once it runs out - I'M DOOMED! I simply LOVE Elizabeth Arden's Ceramide Ultra lipsticks, as the color lasts and my lips plump (which I don't need) and are ultra hydrated even long after I remove my lipstick.
Here's a TRUE swatch comparison - Top Lip: CHANEL, Bottom Lip: Elizabeth Arden Brick. You be the judge! *For more fab beauty and fashion pics, go to my Instagram @Evcurlgurl
WOW!!! Amazing match!!!!
ReplyDeleteExact, down to a "T"!!!!
DeleteSame exact color!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the original Chanel Brick from???
ReplyDeleteCan't say WHO, but a good pal & rep who had a stash when they announced it was being discontinued. She purchased the remaining stock ;)
DeleteMy goodness you're so lucky! I've been DYING to get my hands on that lipstick! But I'm most definitely going to go for this Elizabeth Arden one! So excited! Thank you!!!
DeleteIs the Chanel Brick the color in the compacts?
ReplyDeleteYes @Lipstick Love Affair. The black compacts are indeed the Chanel.
DeleteOk I ask because I didn't know the lip color was in compact form when I have heard people talk about it. Is one side like a liquid lipstick and the other a lipgloss? I actually have the Elizabeth Arden Brick. Very pretty. I don't love the color on me alone, only with a darker lip pencil. I guess it was better suited for Selena's tone. I also find it hard to figure out what to do with the rest of my face when I wear it and I am a MUA's lol
ReplyDelete^_^ Yes, the dry (left side) is the "liner" and the right-side is the gloss. LOVE IT to pieces.
Deletei would love to buy the chanel from you or the chanel brick from your friend and i will pay $50 for a tune i so want that selena color
ReplyDeleteI would love to buy the chanel brick from you or your friend and i will pay whatever i must have that color i cant find a color similar
ReplyDeleteI noticed the Elizabeth Arden Brick is no longer available.. :( any other shades that match the Chanel Brick?
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline, I see it on there... on the EA website (Ceramide Ultra Lipstick) - even added it to m my bag just now to see. Try it out (here is the link)

Elf makes the same shade as the now discontinued brick lipstick. I have the old brick and I compared it to the Elf lipstick and it is the exact same color!!! If you really want it, you can find it at any Ulta store
DeleteWhat color elf lipstick?
DeleteRegarding the ELF lipstick replacement, I tried it and it is NOT an exact "dupe", trust me (didn't like it.) I tested 50 lip shades for the exact match, and that is Elizabeth Arden's BRICK. I STILL have the original Chanel Brick (2 actually) that Selena used and swatch tested them all against it. Wearing it today on the 20th Anniversary of her passing! R.I.P #Selena #20Years
DeleteIs this the one ?

Yes Marilyn, this is the replacement for the Chanel Brick...MY FAVE (I have like 8!) XoXo~Ev :D
ReplyDeleteThank you. Just purchased it :)
DeleteI just received the brick lipstick by Elizabeth arden as a gift so happy. Is there a lip liner to match??
ReplyDeletecan you post a picture of the chanel lipstick Selena wore in it's bottle? I'm just curious to see it lol
ReplyDeleteMegan, this IS what the lipstick looked like (compact, never in a tube!) Same exact one...
Deletei wanted ask why would you not sell a sample to a company or chanel?
ReplyDeleteTheres other people that would love to have it as a own collection
no matter what the end you will still be the only one with the actual one .
Thanks for your comment, but why would I sell something that is as precious as this? I purchased it because I WAS a Selena fan long before her death (I was 18 years old at the the time of her death in 1995) and I love having it as part of MY collection, even wear it sometimes. No need to "sell a sample" as the EA Brick is the EXACT formula and duplicate, believe me. Bottom line: unfortunately it is not for sale.

ReplyDeletehey i have a question. do you think the selena como la flor compares because if not ill just invest in the brick by elizabeth arden. thank you
ReplyDeleteComo La Flor is an absolute, must-have part of the MAC Selena collection (which, hey, I made myself made sure to have two of each lipstick, aside from the entire MAC collection), but it is more of a cherry red (amplified/shiny) in comparison. "Brick" was definitely more of a matte/mute brown shade. You can see in Selena's video "Donde Quiera Que Estes", a perfect example of how brick looked in daylight, as well as other publicized pictures where her lips were not a "bright red" shade. I love all her lip-looks, but prefer "Amor Prohibido", a nude shade from the #MACSelena collection, to be honest. ~Ev
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a question. I went on the elizabeth arden website but the color "brick" its not showing up. Also, I see that there are two different colors when I searched online. Is it brick #02 or brick #6? Thank you
ReplyDeleteCatherine, it's quite possible that it has sold out (no surprise). It is Brick 02, which you can see in one of the gifs where I am holding the lipstick (picture is right about the pic of me wearing it.)
DeleteThank you soo much for all the helpful information. I also am seeking a Brick Red lipstick because of my skin tone warm with yellow undertones and I was told Brick Red would be my best bet in a red lipstick. I also checked out the Elizabeth Arden website and it isn't even mentioned. I wonder if it is D/C'd. Maybe I will go to a store and see what they have. Maybe they will know if it is D/C'd. Thanks agin for your effort you went through with all of the information. Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteMacy's has it on their website! in the shade brick! just ordered it! great back up for when my selena mac lipsticks are gone! since you can't get the mac selena collection anymore!
