Chantecaille Lip Chic lip color is one of those wonderful hybrid products- a cross between a lipstick and a lip gloss with a balm effect, just to make things feel more luxurious. The pigmentation level is worthy of a lipstick, even if the coverage is sheer. There's enough shine to make us perk up and look alive even on a dreary morning and it wears like a balm- very moisturizing and just a little bit heavy.
Lip Chic feels very nice, especially when fighting dryness and looks beautiful. It doesn't stay on past your first cup of tea (it leaves a telling print on the cup), so expect to reapply every couple of hours. I don't really mind- wearing a rich color that feels like a balm is good enough, and the lipstick format makes it easy to carry and apply on the go.
For comparison- the color payoff is much better in this Chantecaille product than in YSL Gloss Volupte. The latter is several degrees sheerer.
The colors I chose were Ceylon, a brown based red, and Damask, a berry burgundy that has become my absolute favorite. I keep one in each of the purses in my current rotation, and it's more or less my signature color lately.
Chantecaille Lip Chic ($30) is available from Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and Neiman Marcus.
