Chanel Glossimer for Lips

Chanel is my favourite brand of cosmetics and to me is the optimum definition of premium. For my best occassions, I will occassionally purchase a lip gloss. I am not a huge fan of lip gloss as I tend to find that they come in short and stubby, sticky and over filled bottles. The applicators tend to gloop all of the lip gloss together which leaves my lips with a large amount of sticky mess. When the Chanel consultant suggested that I try the Glossimer, I was very dubious. However, I was actually very impressed witht he bottle. It was tall and sleek and didn't look cheap and plasticy. There was no sticky over filled residue around theapplicator and the ...  Read the complete review

Okay, Chanel makeup is one of my great loves, but the Glossimer and Glossimer Extreme take top spot. I first tried these when I was in the US, at the insistance of a friend. Kudos to her, they are the ultimate in lip colour. The packaging is great, slim and sleek, the CC logo atop the lid.. Not over-fancy and not too bulky to just shove in your bag loose. Each comes with an automatic wand applicator built in, as you pull it out, the excess gloss is taken off and remains in the tube - no messy gunk here, and no fussing around to find a lip brush. The formula itself is great, allowing you to build up the colour as desired. Dab it on lightly, smooth over ...  Read the complete review

I was brought 2 of these lip glosses for Christmas and although i would never usually fork out £13 for a lip gloss i have to say after using this product a cheapo lip gloss would just not cut the mustard!

The lip gloss comes out ...  Read the complete review

I had read about the Chanel Glossimers in one of my glossy mags that they were chosen by many of the rich and famous for when they wre being made up for photo shoots. There are about 10 shades in the range and each has a sparkly element to its colour. The gloss comes in a tube with a wand attachent with a sponge applicator, I went for the colour Blizzard which is a pale pink with glittery silver particles interspersed in it. The gloss glides on evenly and actually stays put ie. lasts on me from 7am - 12pm and the residue left is not the usual gunk from other glosses but all the silver particles stay on your lips. The glossimers cost about £12.00 I say about that ...  Read the complete review
