At first, this seems a little too "porn star" pale pink & glittery for me. I had the same reaction to MAC's Charm Factor & Dainty Cake (but now I want them back lol). Once on, this becomes a lovely frosty pinky peachy color. Still very frosty, so great for a night out or the summer (at least for me).

The frostiness is hard to describe -I see iridescent silver, gold, even aqua.... it does make my lips look fuller, and the frostiness can be toned down with a bit of gloss.

Great color...peachy pink color with flecks of gold. I wish this wasn't a LE. I bought mine on Ebay and was well worth the $$. It looks great as a light lip and really warms up my face. It also seems to brighten up my complexion..just wish it was a teeny tiny bit more moisturizing like the AL's but it might b/c my l/s is getting old. If anyone can get their hands on this color on Ebay or a swap, run for it! FYI, NC25-30,C300,bro/bro.

Not sure what to say that hasn't already been said. Can I just say that I love this shade? :)
Isn't that what it's all about?

I love this lipstick and use it for every day looks. The color is complicated and gorgeous. I was glad to be able to buy the last one at a Chanel counter, because it's a LE. Added later: I use this lipstick all the time, still, but am getting upset because my tube is getting low and I won't be able to replace it. :-(

Another rare chanel lipstick that is not orange, fushcia, or prom dress pink. However, I still wouldn't call this a natural shade. It's a very light baby peachy pink that avoids looking dated with irridescence and golden shimmer. Very pretty and nice for a light lip.

I love this color. It's a fabulous peachy-nude with silver shimmer. Just enough shimmer to make your lips look full and sumptuous but not like like you belong in 8th grade wearing Love's Baby Soft. I'm loving the Infrarouge formulas, they're so light and soft and don't dry your lips out at all. I read in the other reviews that there is aqua glitter in here too?? I didn't see it! Oh well, I love it.

I can already tell that this is going to be my new staple pink lipstick! It's a somewhat fleshy pink with a silvery shimmer. But it doesn't leave your lips heavily frosted, just a bit. It goes on so nicely and you literally forget you even have it on, it's so "light". I didn't notice the trademark rose scent with this lippie as much as the other one I have (Pink Sugar).

My first Chanel lipstick (not counting the myriad Gloss.com free samples) and a really good choice. My lips are very pigmented and this is a bit lighter, but it still manages to produce the perfect Spring/Summer lip. I topped this with Spark (my first glossimer, see a trend? ;-) and even Hubby the Cynic commented on how pretty that combo looked. Showgirl is a complex sparkly peachy pink (read descriptions below) that is oh-so-pretty.

I love this! I'm very fair/pink with blond hair and blue eyes, and have had a lot of trouble finding nude/pale summer shades. This one is gorgeous! Great formula - I love Chanel lipsticks.

My first Chanel lipstick, and I really love it. Showgirl is quite a chamelion: in some lights it appears as a sandy pink, while at others it appears as the perfect neutral sparkly beige-pink. There is a wonderful shimmer to this formula that seems to make my lips seem really full. I wear this when I want an elegant, understated look to my lips. I will definitely be purchasing more of these lipsticks!

This is like my 10th Infrarouge lipstick. I just love the different textures they come in. Showgirl belongs to the newest collection for summer 2003, and it's just tight for the sunny time of year. It's hard to describe the color, it's a bit of pink, peach and beige mixed together with iridicent particles to come out as a sheer stain (my view). Totally love it. hopefully, this color is not limited, as it might become my fave color!!!

This is a really nice pinky neutral colour for spring with sort of an aqua overlay. Its really unusual. Looks nice mixed with a gloss. Its hard to describe you have to go to the counter and try it on yourself to see.

I was a little disappointed in Showgirl. At the counter, it appeared to be a gorgeous peach with slight golden shimmer. Also looked that way on my hand and I made the mistake of purchasing without trying it on first.
Showgirl has a peachy pink base with gold and aqua shimmers. My lips are very pale and the base color didn't show on me at all. The way it looked on me is just a slight shimmery light color, which if you look really close, you can tell it's green. It's okay, and the shimmer is enhancing, but it's just not the color I thought that it would be when I wear it.
I'm sure this works well for more pigmented lips and over liners and such, but it just doesn't give me much color on these pale lips, and I do expect a bit more for the price. Darn, cause I really wanted to love it when I saw it on my hand and in the store.

The most gorgeous peachy pink with aqua and gold shimmer! Light on the lips, long-lasting, and with that pretty shimmery overglaze. Perfect for spring!
