Chanel Mystery Glossimer Lipgloss ($29.50 for 0.19 fl. oz.) is described as a “fresh rosewood.” It’s a soft pink-peach with a creamy finish. MAC Persistent Peach is similar but a smidgen brighter. MAC So Vain is darker, pinker. Dior Pink Veil is pinker, shimmery. YSL Pure Watermelon is more orange. Benefit Spiked Punch is similar but shimmery. Chanel Caprice is a bit pinker and shimmery.

Mystery is non-sticky, lightweight, and very comfortable to wear.  The consistency isn’t too thick or too thin, and for a creamy gloss  it settles very little into the lip lines–certainly not noticeable from a regular viewing distance.  It also applied rather evenly.  When I tested it out, it lasted for four hours, which was good.  This gloss has a high-shine finish that gives lips a fuller look (just an illusion).  It’s a your-lips-but-better kind of shade with better coverage.

I think it may just be the application :/ (sorry).

GloMinerals’ lip glosses have a beautiful finish that I’ve had no issue with settling. I wish I could remember the name of the shade (Poppy, perhaps) that is very similar to this one.

My sentiments exactly! It looks kind of thick and goopy/drippy in the pics. I love the glossimers that I have, but I think this one is a pass for me.

This seems to be one of those glosses that looks amazing in the tube, but only so so on the lips. I love the color, but I don’t care much for how it gathers in any fine line.

Ooooh, a glossimer that I actually like! 😀 I love the way these glosses feel on, nice and creamy, but I can’t stand the bits of glitter that can be found in most of them.

I like these kind of glossimers more than the ones with lots of sparkles. It looks like a good everyday gloss. I currently use glossimer #46 for that purposes, which is cooler and tends to mauve (my natural lip shade). I will take a look at this one for sure 😉

Woah that lipgloss looks amazing. Is this limited edition or something since it is not coming out till October? Or is it just a new product that they are adding to the line? Just want to know if I need to rush out amd get it or if I can take my time (: Haha.

I really like this. I was thinking about getting this and the other darker Glossimer (name escaping me atm) and now I think this is on my definite list. 🙂

The color is so pretty and very wearable, I really like it but I’m not really a lip gloss kind of gal. Do you know any lipstick dupes for this? I love your eye makeup, the yellow/gold eyeliner really compliments your eye color! (:

I love this color, it’s going to be my first Glossimer! And like T_ZWIGGY – so happy there’s no glitter in it! This looks a bit like a peachier version of Gaga 2 lipglass. On that note I remembered my regret at not getting the Gaga 2 lipstick as well, so I headed off to the Swatch Gallery to see if I could find something similar in another brand but *gasp* there’s no Viva Glam Gaga 2 lipstick there! LoL

I just want to thank you. I discovered your blog just last week when I was looking for a new nude gloss. After reading numerous reviews, I settled on this one and I LOVE it. Thank you, I never would have even considered Chanel on my own. Keep it up: this is really the best beauty blog because you post wonderful pictures and review everything for multiple criteria.
