I love this!!!
I don't understand the negativity...this is a unique product not just for your lips but entire mouth area. It hydrates the skin around your lips without making you break out. It is like a mouth/lip cream that isn't thick or gloopy. I found this special product a pampering treat that I use morning and night after washing my face.
i don't find the pot unsanitary, since i use a special lip brush to apply it on my lips. The real issue is that i can't see any difference/improvement at all! As someone already said, if anything it makes my lips more dry.. So weird, since its chanel! They usually tend to rule at everything they do! I am still trying to convince myself and keep reapplying every 2 hours to see if i might get anything :(
I had high hopes for this. This is clear reminder to me that price doesn't equal quality. While the packaging is luxe (well except for the unsanitariness of a tub) the product disappoints. It feels great the first few minutes but then it quickly wears off leaving my lips dry. I feel like a bit of dummy paying this much for such a sucky product. Chapstick works better. I was hoping this would be my HG buy for now I will stick to Lanolin at nights and MAC lip conditioner in the day time. Like someone else wrote, I think I will reuse the container and decant some other product into it when this is done.

Thought that this would be an investment product. I was wrong and at £20+ for a nice-looking pot of lip balm that doesn't work, consider it a lesson learnt. It felt alright for the first 20mins.. but I think having to apply it every 20 minutes is excessive.

when you first apply this on your lips it works and lasts me maybe two hours at the most, my lips are already dry. Not too happy with this product.
This Chanel lip care is just ok. It's very expensive and majority of the time it wears off before I've even started my day. I thought this would be a fav, but I'm still in search of a good lip treatment.

I wish I could give this 3.5 lippies. This is a nice balm to use as a lipstick base but it isn't very rich or healing. It is a nice balm for maintenance but not for repair.
The pros:
-it doesn't really have a taste or a smell- there is a slight "moisturizer" smell but it fades very quickly.
-it doesn't ball up under or over other products
-i find it quite matte
-it doesn't spread past your lips
-i only use a little at a time
-if you don't have a problem with pots, the pot is cute and "looks" expensive.
The cons:
-this is a very light balm. this did not help me with major dryness. this is a balm that will help you "maintain" normal but not get to normal IME.
-i think this would have worked better as a lip cream in a tube, kind of like decleor, which is a similar consistency (matte, light). If you don't like pots for hygiene reasons...
-Considering it is like the decleor, i find the price expensive for what it is, buy decleor if you want a light, matte balm. In the same price range, La Mer or Sisley are much better balms if you are looking for something rich or long-lasting.
I did mark yes on the rebuy because this is not a bad product that gave me an allergic reaction or something, it is just that I prefer heavier balms, especially at this price point. if you have the money to burn or like lighter balms, it is worth a try. I'm going to use the rest of this pot for in the mornings before i put my lipstick on.
this is the worst lip balm i have never tried. it was dry my lip badly!!

LOVE the packaging, so much so that when it runs out i'm going to empty my HG mac lip conditioner tub into it so i can have the luxury packaging of the chanel and the effectivness of a great lipbalm for a third of the cost yet still a premium brand
i had a voucher for debenhams and i needed lip balm, so lip balm i got, it's a nice lip balm, rosey scented, gives a lovely sheen hhowever hydrating? i'd say not very much, macs lip conditioner smells nicer, feels nicer is MUCH more hydrating and has much better ingredients, costs a lot less too.
if you love chanel skincare im sure you'll love this however personally i think chanel cosmetics are a bit overhyped based on their fabulous clothes.
