Chanel Holiday 2010: Charming

Chanel Charming Glossimer ($27.00 for 0.19 fl. oz.) is a sheer barely-there pink gloss with pink shimmer. It is new and limited edition from Chanel’s holiday collection. The gloss itself is nearly colorless, but the shimmer is colored enough that it’s noticeable when worn. It’s a very minimal, easy-to-wear kind of shade that will be a must for some and a, “So what?” kind of gloss for others. Charming can be worn alone for a little dazzle or layered on top of lipsticks to add shine and shimmer.

Glossimers are nearly non-sticky but still have a little tackiness to them, though they are lightweight, non-drying, and last three to four hours on me.   They’re scent- and taste-free as well.  Some of them are more pigmented but the majority have been on the sheerer side based on my experience.

I really love this. I know the shade is nothing special, but the sparkle is so pretty! And it’s only my second Glossimer, so I’m quite excited about that. :p

This reminds me of my beloved Astral which I have a couple tube of, only less intense. I skipped on this particular Glossimer because I have many Glossimers that look like this =D. Pink Pulsion however, I may have to purchase a backup…

It’s very pretty! But yeah, not a really special color. I can never decide whether it’s better to splurge on something special or something I’d wear all the time when it comes to high-end brands.

Can you recommend any glossimers that are more pigmented? I love the sparkle I have pink venus i think it is i like it but love colour the more pigmented the better (I realise these will never be Illamasqua intense lipgloss!)
