I have a million lip products... this is one of the only ones I've ever finished. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's LE.. who knows. I ran out and really wanted it again but the Chanel SA had no idea what I was talking about when I asked about it. I found it on Ebay, but it's so rare I doubt I'll ever find it again. I covet this gorgeous silvery blue color that just looks dazzling on. I can't explain it, it's definitely not blue but it's not clear either. Either way, it makes my lips look ravishing and my blue eyes POP!

Hmmmm..........

After reading the rave reviews for this gloss, I bought it. Bleh. It does absolutely nothing for me. Makes me look like I didn't wipe my mouth properly after brushing my teeth. Oh well!

$30 down the drain.

I was initially attracted to this been blue colour but on bare lips, its a very shiny clear gloss that gives you plump lips look. It has very fine pearly particles as well as shimmering bits of blue... Half way thru the tube, i like this very much...

Crystal Blue looks very pretty and unusual in the tube -- blue opalescence. I was eager to try it since I love unique items, which in light of the massive cosmetics industry, are few and far in between. So, there I was hoping for some kind of hint-of-blue halo effect, but on my pigmented, rosy lips, it shows up essentially clear. Sure, my lips look glossier and really shiny (frankly, almost too shiny for my taste, as they look wet), but I've seen that trick done many times. Over lipstick, it looks great, but again, I have yet to top my lipstick with an almost clear or light lip gloss and not have my lips look poutier.

This is a good lip gloss. When put on my lips i can see little blue sparkles in certain lights, however it gives a plain clear lip gloss some edge. It is a bit sticky. The tube is very classy looking for a lip gloss. Looks like it would last a while, however i dont use it everyday. Overall a good lip gloss to wear plain or over lipstick.

Another fav of mine! This is a transluscent opalescent bluish color. On the lip, it's just a sheer tone with a hint of mauve to it. I'm on my second tube, I have one more to go. I use this almost daily now. It just turns a lipstick from dull to dazzling. It's the nice shine and that mauvey pearlescent shimmer that does it. Really pretty, don't get thrown off by the name, you'll never get blue lips from this one!

This is one very pretty gloss. It looks bluish in the tube but in reality when you put it on, it goes on clear but with a holographic effect to it. Depending on the light, it reflects some lilac or lavender blue sparkles. I use it alone. Let it do it's thing, work it's magic. I usually play up my eyes and this just completes the look without looking like I forgot about my lips. This is my first glossimer. A little pricey but hey it's Chanel. This is definitely the gloss I go for on the days when I feel like I need therapy. Works like a charm!

Ooh.. This is soo pretty both in the tube and on lips!! Of course it's basically clear with blue shimmers, so I have to wear this on top of a lippie. It makes my lips look so luscious, in a nice way - not OTT! Too bad it's LE so I hope I never lose this.

What can I say about Crystal Bleu other than it is one of my favorite Glossimers. After buying my first one I soon bought another because I knew would I finish the original tube. I use it alone or over lipsticks or combined with other Glossimers. My favorite looks include wearing it over Glossimer Extreme in Darling, Aqualumiere in Wakiki or Aqualumiere in Yucatan. I wish Chanel would make this a permanent color for their Glossimer line.

This is a staple in my makeup wardrobe. The quality is superb as are all the glossimers in the Chanel line. It is a sheer gloss with the extra kick of tiny opalescent light mauve-ish blue sparkles. It is wonderful worn alone or mixed with each of my lipsticks. I give it the 10 lippies!!!

For the sheer thrill of owning something limited edition, I bought this color. I already read about it on P'ville and it is worth the rave. Very sheer blue opalescent gloss. My neighborhood Nordstrom had a couple left and I had to have it. Looks great over any lipstick and brings out blue tones if any. I honestly don't know how often I will use it. But it sure is pretty. :)

I think I've fallen in love... I'm some sort of gloss addict but this is my absolute favourite (by now at least). It gives your lips a suptle shimmer that looks like mother of pearl, ravishing! I also top my lipstick with it, which is also looking great.

I agree this looks perfect over Sweet Sixteen. I think that was the idea of this collection. The colour is clear in the tube with mauvey blue sparkles that go on more mauvey and looks really wet and sexy. I love it.

This product is absolutely lovely. A chic bit of blue shimmery color but still so subtle to be almost timeless and beautiful. I was not going to buy this product but I put it over the sweet sixteen lipstick at the chanel counter - and it looked so amazingly pretty. What a great alternative to boring clear gloss. This will be a favorite for a while.

This glossimer wasn't as absurd as I expected. Admittedly I scorned at the idea of a blue-hued lipgloss, and vowed that I would not purchased just because it's Chanel.

However. It's actually very, very wearable. It's a clear, slightly milky gloss, with irridescent microglitter. The glitter isn't gritty at all- wonderful! And it imparts an interesting and pouty effect to lipsticks. Lovely over Sweet Sixteen.

I have to admit I looked at this simply because it was limited edition (yes, I'm that shallow). I'm so glad I did, because it's gorgeous on. It's a sheer with tiny particles of irridesence. Now I know we've all seen this before. But this one is different, more subtle, somehow classier. Maybe it's just because I *know* it's Chanel, as opposed to some cheapie brand. Anyhow, it brought to life my Bourjois matte l/s, made my lips look fuller, poutier, and downright sexy! Who wouldn't like that? My credit card was out before you could say Glossimer Schlossimer!

I am a gloss freak especially Chanel's which I love much more than MAC's. Crystal Blue is a beautiful sheer gloss with tiny irredescent light reflecting shimmers. Lipstickjunkie described this one perfectly to me when she said it resembles Mother of Pearl. It looks great on it's own or over top of l/s. High shine & great staying power as with all of Chanel's Glossimers.

I am SO glad I got this! It is so pretty and perfect for when you just want a clear-ish gloss. Has shimmer but no glass shards like Ovation!

I am a gloss-a-holic!

On my pigmented lips/MMM skintone, this glossimer appears as a sheer (similar to the sheerness of "Naturel" glossimer) lipgloss with a slight hint of silver blue and with blue/aqua sparkles. A very nice effect, especially when the light hits it. Makes lips looks fuller and wetter, and goes really well with many lipcolors. I gave this a "4" because it's quite sheer.

Ohh....I like this one! I usually wear Unity or Blizzard. But, lately I have been wanting something clear. I'm tired of worrying about my color being even. Crystal Blue is perfect. Doesn't look blue on the lips, but looks beautiful in the container. Has a lot of sparkle flecks in it. More then usual for Chanel. But, they are so small, that it doesn't look cheap or overwhelming.
