Beautiful coral, pinky peach, metallic colour. If you like high shine and like metallic looks then this is it. It's gorgeous. I used to love these when I was younger and wear it as an everyday staple. Now that I'm older and more mature, I can't wear it anymore as it's too metallic. It's a fun cream lipgloss.

Absolutely my HG gloss color for summer. Yes it is frosty, but not in a 1980's big hair playboy bunny frosty. This color is a combo of mauve, copper, peach and shimmer. Opaque and not too greasy this has staying power and does not run outside your lip line. I use Reflex or Rose Bronze blush with this and my skin just glows. I can appreciate other posts that this is dry, it is thick and not a sheer gloss, you will not see your natural lip color through this. Like all good things at Chanel this is on the discontinued list, I am not sure if that applies to foreign markets. You can bet while I'm in London or Paris I will see if they still stock this.

Really disappointing. Colour looked pretty in store (although the poor lighting in Sephora may have misled me there), but turned out to be a flat coral pink, which looks very dated. Texture is thick and lumpy and tube is leaky. Only way to use it is to mix it with other shades. Definitely wouldn't buy again.

I received this as a sample/GWP. The formula is fairly dry and flat, which makes sense now that I've seen it's supposed to be a wand lipstick, not gloss. (So why is it still called "glossimer"? But I digress.) I love the concept of wand lipstick, but it's harder to get a thin layer with the wand--when I first put it on, it was really heavy. The color is VERY pink--80s pink, I dare say--and the gold flecks settle into the ridges in my lips so that my lips look striated when I smile. It's such a cute sample--too bad it stinks. UPDATE: I am bumping this up a lippie because after further use I've found I really like the formula. It lasts better than any other lipcolor I've tried, and doesn't feel uncomfortable or sticky. However, I'm still not crazy about the color.

I have finally found the perfect color for me. I have fair olive-toned skin with brown eyes and brown hair. I wear the Glossimer Extreme in Magic over lip liner. It looks AMAZING and has terrific staying power! I have received many compliments on my lips when I wear it. I agree that it can go on a little gloppy, but a quick blot does the trick for me. I will buy again and again and again!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand why everyone hates this color. It looks like a gorgeous golden/coppery pink on me. I do, however, hate the dried-out liquid lipstick feel of this gloss and its gloopiness. But it is still pretty. Anyone know of another lipgloss that looks like this?

This Color is very Orangish on me. Does not accentuate my lips at all. Goes on like a creme eyeshadow. Im not a big fan of Glossimer extremes!

I love the color - it looks very nice on my FFF. However, I think if anyone is a fan of the Glossimers - you will be VERY disappointed with the Glossimer Extreme. The Extremes are much thicker and stickier. I would not term this a lip gloss. I felt it somewhat dried out my lips. Would not repurchase.

Hate it! Of course in the dark poorly flourescent lit department store the color looked way different, but when I got outside I realized it was a pink with gold/orange undertones. When I tried it on I was even more disgusted! on another review someone described it as putting liquid eyeshadadow on your lips...perfect description. It is pasty, dry and doesn't spread evenly. It is shiny only b/c of the metallic pigments but not in the way that a Mac lipglass is shiny, for example (b/c of the shiny texture of Mac's lipglass) It is not at all what I would call a lipgloss. BIG WASTE of $24!! Wish I could have a refund!

I was wanting this for sometime now and eventually RIS one, and I was sorely dissapointed in it! It is a thin lipstick, not glossy at all. The color wasn't even close to the swatch and did look different on than in the tube even, maybe too orange for me. It didn't seem to dry my lips out as others have said, and it did last fairly well, but that doesn't make up for the bad color and no gloss. There is sheen and shimmer to it however and perhaps in another color, might be pretty. Not sure if I will go out of my way to try other colors though!!

Pretty color, changes in shade depending on the liner you use. Definitely use a lip conditioner underneath!

I LOVE the texture of the Glossimer Extremes.

What you ladies don't realize is that the Glossimer Extrêmes are NOT lip gloss, but rather metallic creme lipsticks with a wand. they are very long-wearing, and can be 'cut' with a gloss

This is the worst lip gloss that I have ever tried! It is dry and cakey and has no moisture at all to it. The color is okay...a shimmering pinky coral but if they were striving for a matte look - they went way overboard. This is a totally unacceptable product from such a high quality line like Chanel. Mine was a GWP sample, otherwise, it would be returned! Don't waste your money!

I was sooooo surprised about this one. The color looks too tacky on and the formula is dry and clumpy.

I think that this color is way to harsh; sure it looks great from the outside, but it comes out clumpy and makes my lips feel dry. The color looks different once you have it on which makes you look like you got warped out of the '80s, and it stains your lips and comes off fast. If I were to get another Glossimer-I'd get a better and lighter color and have faith that it was made better. UPDATE: I found that if you mix this with Clinique Sheer Shimmers in Sparkling White (I think thats it) you get a better looking shade, therefor I gave it 3 lippies.

the extreme glosses are nice, but not as good of a formula as the regular glosses. they are both tacky and clumpy. they make my lips chapped as well. i adore the color of the magic gloss, but don't care for the texture.

These are very intense colours. I got this in magic, the only colour that I think is wearable during the day. It is a pink/coral colour that is nice and bright. Lips need to be moisturised underneath though. It's a gorgeous colour. My only gripe (as with all glossimers) is that the colour keeps leaking out of the tube. Chanel should improve the packaging on these.

This is the worst lip product I have tried in a long time. How Chanel could make such a wretched product is beyond me. The colour looks beautiful in the tube, but goes on pasty and dry, and dries like a waxy consistancy. The colour looked nice in the tube as well, but it goes on a nasty orangey pink, and too metallic. Awful. I will stick to Glossimer.
