Chanel Glossmier in Pleasing

Pleasing was part of the Chanel holiday 2010 collection.  It is the only item of the collection I picked up since I have increasingly been falling out of love with Chanel powder products. 

Glossimers are great glosses.  Sheer to medium pigment and not too sticky.  I love them alone and over lipsticks.


Pleasing is beautiful, a sparkly brown pink color.  Its a nice neutral that can be worn over most colors. I like it particularly over Chantecaille sari rose lip chic. 

I am normally not a fan of sparkle in my makeup, but glossimers make sparkle sophisticated.

Overall, I would recommend picking this up if you can still find it.

Chanel Glossimer in Spark


I am such a sucker with anything shot through with gold.  If it has gold shimmer, chances are I will be smitten at first swatch.  Spark is no different.  It is a beautiful raspberry color with lots of gold shimmer.  I am a lover of anything Chanel, but glossimers really are top notch glosses.  They are not too sticky, just enough to last a little while on the lips.  I do not expect lipglosses to last super long, so I do not judge them too harshly in that category.  Spark was my very first glossimer, and with it, began a sure to be lifelong love affair.  The color suits me whether I am tanned in the summer or pale in the winter.  It manages to warm up my face and make me look very alive.


I have instilled upon it the much coveted title of Holy Grail (HG) item.  In fact, this is my second tube, which is saying alot for a lipgloss fanatic such as myself.  It pairs perfectly with my Nars Christina lipstick (and yes, I did buy it because it bears the same name as myself).

I was unable to get a swatch photo that was color accurate, so, since I did not want to post an inaccurate photo, I just left it out.  I do believe Lina of The Beauty Look Book has a pretty good swatch if you would like to pop over there and take a look. 

I think Spark would work for all but the very cool in tone.  It works nicely with a subtle smoked eye for nighttime or a toned down face during the day.  



Disclaimer:  I bought this lipgloss with my own money.
