Sirocco! Calypso! Å ja. Gotta like Chanel Glossimers that 1) rhyme as well as 2) noise like the names of late-’80s pop duos, which reminds me…
…freshman year in high school, I sat next to a woman in algebra class who went to a Milli Vanilli show one night as well as then gushed the next day at institution about exactly how “They were so incredible live!”

Lol! Live-ish.
It’s as well poor the Glossimers aren’t less expensive. Both of these restricted edition shades from the summer de Chanel collection are likewise quite sheer, as well as at $29.50 a pop, they aren’t precisely a bargain in terms of pigment per ounce.
Even so, their sheerness is oddly what I like about them.

I can just picture the summer adventures I might have with these two. Touring red wine country one Sunday with my friends, Jen as well as Cindy, peachy beige Sirocco on my lips.
The color is a bit like MAC C-Thru, only less pigmented as well as much more shimmery. ideal for an simple nude lip. I’d whip it out for touch-ups between sips of Merlot as well as the grand revelations that include being a boozy lightweight/cheap date (“Dude, Madonna’s Bedtime stories CD was method ahead of its time!”).

The second shade, Calypso, is a reddish coral with golden glitter. much more pigmented than Sirocco however less opaque than similar shades like MAC Lychee Luxe, it’s the one I’d wear with buddies to Bliss Spa, complied with by lunch at the Samovar Tea Lounge (because tea with buddies makes whatever better).
Sheer as well as shiny coral lips + health spa treatments * tea + great conversation = happiness. add a bright floral dress, as well as I’m smiling from ear to ear.

Hva annet?
Texture: Both of these feel thick to me, however they aren’t sticky. great if you like to feel like you’re really using something on your lips. Oh, however about the glitter? — that, I can’t feel. No grit from it at all, which is a plus.
Flavor as well as scent: Neither.
Hydration: I don’t have any type of problems with these drying out my lips. In fact, they’re quite moisturizing.
Wear time: Not bad. I get about three hours out of them before I requirement a touch-up, as well as I certainly requirement to reapply after tea as well as crumpets.
In this case, being sheer is a stamina since it makes them simple to apply as well as wear, as well as these are great colors for that. No requirement for a lip liner, as well as I can apply them without a mirror.
Some gals will most likely be quick to compose these off, phone call them “just one more summer release,” as well as state they’re as well sheer as well as not distinct sufficient for $30. Ya know, part of me would agree, however here’s the thing: I truly like Chanel. Actually, I like it, however mainly since I partner makeup with exactly how it makes me feel, as well as for a range of reasons, Chanel makes me feel special.
Not rocket science here. If you like sheer sunny colors as well as Chanel, either/both of these wearable shades ought to put a spring in your step.
