The Chantecaille Lip Chic formulation is one of my all time favourites. Sheer - like so many of the new lipstick collections have been this year - but hugely moisturising, extremely balm-like, and just pigmented enough to give you a wearable and polished look. I love them, and the funky pewter packaging, and own three, all from the rose shades.
Here they are, Tea Rose, China Rose, and Bourbon Rose:
Tea Rose, is a lovely muted rosy mauve, for me a My Lips But Better shade, which I use with stronger makeup looks, so I don't look like death warmed up by using more "traditional" nude lip shades. China Rose is a little more red, and is a tad warmer, almost coral-ish in wear. And Bourbon Rose is a lovely pink, good for giving a gentle flush of colour to your lips, without totally taking over your face.
Here's how they swatch, with and without flash:
Whilst it's a soft formulation, the lipsticks don't wear down all that quickly, and they're a pleasure to wear. Yes, they're pricey, at around £29 each, but my lipstick collection wouldn't be complete without them.
The Fine Print: I bought each of these, and have actually bought Bourbon Rose twice, the first time was a present for someone else, and I liked it so much, I had to have it for myself too.

These look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the Lip Chic formula too. I've had my eye on Tea Rose for a while but actually I'm now rather interested to take a look at both China Rose and Bourbon Rose. Thank you for the swatches.

They look nice! I really like sheer, balm-like lipsticks, as i think they better suit my lip shape. I really like Becca ones. Have you tried them?

All three are such gorgeous colours, I'd struggle to decide which one I'd want to wear! x x
ReplyDeleteChantecaille is one of my top three favorite makeup brands.
ReplyDeleteThe Violet Mascara and one of the matte lipsticks {haven't decided on the color yet}, plus the Rose compact powder are all on my list for Yulemas this year!
