Chantecaille Lip Chic China Rose
Chantecaille Lip Chic in China Rose was my first product I got from this brand. The moment I applied this beauty onto my lips, I felt the pure luxury this brand stands for. What is a Lip Chic (paraben-free)? The perfect combination of gloss and lipstick, high shine meets rich, even coverage, added collagen gives lips a plumping boost (according to Chantecaille). And yes, everything is true. Lip Chics retail for 35 US$ (.07oz 2g).
The colour is very interesting, not because the shade itself is uber unique but it actually looks the same in the bullet and once applied (on me). I have the tendency to turn everything a bit more pink, hence my fascination with this particular soft rusted rosy orange shade. It contains very fine, almost copper shimmer and very sparse light green sparkles (not noticeable once applied). The texture is very buttery and not slippery, it feels moisturizing and plumping. This Lip Chic never dried out my lips nor gave me a white line. The pigmentation varies between sheer and medium pigmented (one swipe), can be layered to a visible colour (I need about four layers). It stays on for (at best) two hours, leaving a very soft stain.
I used two swipes for my arm swatch and four for my lip swatch. As you can see, it leaves such a beautiful sheen and my lips appear plumped, smoothed out and just very well moisturized. This is my favourite colour out of all the Lip Chics and I am going to repurchase it, if I (ever) will run out.
oh my, this color looks so gorgeous on you.
(i love your lip swatches and other pictures. so pretty to look at and they are always very artistic! ^-^)
I really like that it is not red pink, rather a warm orange rose colour, very interesting
And thank you lena for your kind words, I hope to get a better cam soon though, would be so much easier 
that’s weird – the bullet looks like a warm toned red, but on you it reads a muted rose color. It’s a pretty color on you. This would only enhance the green in me. ce la vie
To my eye the colour in the bullet actually looks like a rusted orange rose (it may appear a wee bit brighter here than it is in real life). But actually, I think one could describe it as a warm toned orangey red as well. I had a lucky day while taking pics of my swatch and can say, it look exactly like that on me. I do agree, for olive skintones this warm colour might not be a great choice but actually, the swatches I saw online turned more red than orange (I have the tendency to turn colours in an odd way sometimes, lol).
Oh this is SO pretty on you! Love it! I keep meaning to check out more things from Chantecaille–everything from the brand is always so beautiful. Plus I love that the brand always finds a way to give back!
That’s true, I am still thinking if I should get the elephants! Their lip chics stand out to me the most however but I also really like their e/s
ooo that looks really nice on you!
Thank you Joyce
Oh my this is SO gorgeous!!! I’ve never tried anything from Chantecaille (not available here), but now I have to check it out when I’m somewhere with the brand!
IKR? and it makes my lips so smooth. You have to try their lip chics, they are very impressive.
Gorgeous! I’ve read lots about this brand but haven’t tried it before. This definitely goes to my “to try” list
Those lip chics are the best hydrating lipstick/balms I’ve tried. Report back what you think about them
