This is now one of my favorite lipsticks/glosses. I have four colors: Golden Sun (which was a mistake purchase from the website because I got it confused with Golden Sand; but I wear it over colors), Noir Moderne, Golden Sand and Melancolie. this pretty much all I wear now and have tossed much of my more matte, non-hydrating sticks. Can't go wrong with the colors and quality of Chanel!
This is the best formula out there. I've tried a few of the higher end lipsticks but this is one of the nicest. The smell is amazing, very pleasant but very light, the formula is moisturizing and never sinks into cracks around lips, and I found the color pretty saturated although I haven't taken note of its staying power as much...for me it's long enough. Color Temeraire, which I got, is a deep reddish berry.
I love CHANEL period. Their lipsticks are particularly good because they don't cause those ugly lines around the lips when or after they are applied. This is a very moisturizing lipstick but if you're looking for color this is not for you. I gave it four stars instead of five because of lack of color ..which is in the description so probably just me.
I love the creaminess of this lipstick and the colors are gorgeous. It doesn't dry out my lips even in the coldest winter. That said, however, the lipstick, just by its moisturizing nature, doesn't stay on very long. But, I use Chanel lip liner first and it really helps keeping it on my lips.
