An amazing pink-y beige shade. I love brownish pink lipsticks. This is very light on my lips and looks very natural. This one of my HG lipstick shades. I really hope it doesn't get discontinued anytime soon.

My holy grail combined with Chanel Nude lipliner and Pin-Up glossamier. With my complexion, it makes the perfect nude lip with a kick, just the way I like it.

Beige Pink with sparkles. Nice glossy finish. Feels incredibly comfortable on lips, almost balm-like. Great broadspectrum spf coverage. On the pricey side, as I don't like to purchase lipsticks over the $20 mark. However, I think this is a great shade and think it's worth it for the SPF. Unless I can find a dupe in Clinique or Neutrogena (which also offer full SPF in their lipsticks), I will be repurchasing this one. EDIT: I found myself neglecting this lipstick for others with more of a color impact, and so I passed it along to my sis instead of letting it collect dust. The color really isn't special enough to merit the high price, even with the SPF and comfortable feel. I will not be repurchasing.

This is by far the closest match I have ever found to the lipstick worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's! I adore it!!!! On me it looks like someone has pimped my own lipcolor and made it ten times better! I am very pleased that I now can feel very natural and sophisticated yet chic, with that extra je nes sais quoi. The texture is wonderful and I think it will last quite a while, so it is worth the money you spend. It is not too sparkly, just shines with a nice glow of confidence, it is Chanel=).

Update! It has passed my absolute and definite test with an A +! I work as an airhostess, and as many of you probably know, it is quite dry inside the cabin. My lips are always dry and I tend to get those ugly lines on my lips from all other lipsticks..but not this! The color stays forever and my lips are moisturised so I never have to feel conscious! Finally I can really enjoy the fact that I am a lipstick lover who cannot be satisfied with lipgloss!

I am typically a MLBB or Nude lips kind of gal, so smearing on a bright or overly dark l/s is really not an option for me ...This lovely lippy takes me to the next level without being drastic. It's not a nude on me at all, however still subtle enough for my tatse. In fact, on my NC 20-25 skin-tone this just brightens up my whole face without being OTT....I like the subtle shimmer and the lovely tone of pink this has, mixed with a hint of rose tone that I detect on my lips. I usually wear a rosey-nude Dior l/s as my everyday color, but this will now be my everyday color for the summer. This is finally the wearable shade of pink that I have been searching for to compliment my lighter skintone...This also looks good paired up with NATURAL lip liner, also by Chanel.

This is my all-time favorite, HG lipstick. Waikiki is a soft, shimmery neutral/ cool-toned pink. There's a bit of cool rosiness to it but it's mainly pink. Pairs perfectly with MAC Dervish lipliner. The formula is moisturizing with a soft shine.

The color, while not unique, is still pretty. It's a light shimmery pink. Very shiny and not drying. And it's great that it has SPF protection. My problem is that it reminds me of MAC Slimshines, but not as shiny and Slimshines are about half the price of Aqualumieres. The only advantage Aqualumieres have is that they contain spf. Since the color isn't that unique, and the same texture can be found elsewhere for less money, I wouldn't repurchase.

I'll cut right to the chase--zero staying power. So the pretty (but not unique) color and nice packaging don't matter. I have 3 other Aqualumiere l/s that have better staying power--not sure why this just disappears so quickly.

I love this colour, it looks like my lips but better with the added shimmer, great colour for work and the texture is heavenly. Doesn't last on eaten or drunk anything but that doesn't bother me much as it looks great applied straight from the tube. Looks lovely with the aqualumiere gloss in diamond rose over the top really pretty! I would definatly repurchase.

This is the perfect pink, not too dark or too light. I wear this one whenever I wear lipstick, it is my one and only. I also love YSL Pure Shine in # 12 but it is discontinued. I don't know what I would do if this were discontinued. I have repurchased this once already. I think this color would flatter most, except maybe darker skin tones. I love it with Rose Sand Glossimer.

I'm on the fence about this lipstick. The color is a very pretty shimmery/silvery pale pink. It's sheer and feels very slippery/oily on my lips. The problem is it doesn't seem to last on me at all. The other day I sat at the back of my son's class for an hour and when I got back to my car and looked in the mirror I discovered this lipstick was completely gone! I had just applied it before the class and hadn't eaten or drank anything. Where the heck did it go? lol! I typically wear lipstick a little darker pink than this and I also wear a lot of sticky lip glosses (MAC, Clinique, Lancome, etc.) so it feels weird to have this slippery lipstick on my mouth. It is a pretty color though and I suspect it will look nice during the summer months, so I'll probably trying wearing it some more. I don't think it's something I would purchase again though. I'd also be careful with the tube in hot weather because this lipstick is so soft I'd imagine it would melt quite easily.

I love this lipstick and I love the color. It is soft and comfortable on, feels great. The color is really something I can wear with almost anything and it always looks good. I keep this one in my purse ALL the time. Updated later: best of all, I forgot to say this earlier - it has both UVB and UVA sunscreen protection. This product can't be beat, IMHO.

I'm fair and my lips are thin and not very pigmented - they're not my best feature so I love sheer lipsticks. Chanel Aqualumieres last longer than many other sheer lipsticks and have UVA/ UVB SPF 15 protection.

i've been wanting this FOREVER. i finally tried it out at the mall and i loved it. it's a sheer shimmery pink on my lips. for some reason i was expecting peach? but i'm still happy w/ the results. not exactly my lips color that i was expecting...it really does show up pink on my lips. my husband said it made my lips look really shimmery and shiny as if i were wearing lipgloss. it lasted quite a long time as long as i wasn't eating or drinking. pretty expensive but i think it's worth it. fyi i'm an nc25, asian, black hair, dark brown eyes.

This is another gorgeous summer color from the Aqualumiere line. I adore the texture of these lipsticks - very silky and smooth. They go on sheer and have good staying power. Waikiki is a beautiful muted pink with silverish shimmer. It does not feel gritty at all. Makes my lips look luscious and pouty. Definite repurchase!

I love the whole Aqualumiere lipstick line;I am slowly but surely collecting them all : D Waikiki is the first shade I tried from this line,and the funny thing is,I didn't like it when I got home and put it away for the longest time.Only recently have I learned to appreciate this gorgeous color.It's a beautiful YLBB pink-rose shade with silver shimmer.The shimmer is not over the top or gritty feeling,it adds subtle dimension to your lips and the formula is like silk!It glides on and wears well all day.I love the added SPF 15 as well.This is a wonderful color to wear all on it's own,or can be a great compliment to smokey/dramatic eyes.HG.

Nicely pigmented shimmery pink hue.
It's very moisturising! So it doesnt crack or anything. However, I dont recommend the 'apply-blot-apply again-blot-apply-blot' method because then your lips will get all crackly and dry and weird.. this is not that type of lipstick.
However, it doesnt really go well with my ever-so-slightly tanned asian complexion. When I put it on, I feel like a barbie (in a bad way) with pink lips on tanned skin, or an old Cali woman with bleached blonde hair, TANNED skin, topped up with a pink lipstick. But in winter, I think it looks really nice with the pale complexion, with a flush of very light pink on my cheeks.

This is a great summer/hot-weather vacation color for me. It looks good on my medium-toned, pink-based skin, especially when I'm a little tan.

One caveat, though ... I have to put tinted moisturizer on my lips (which are extremely pigmented) to get the color to show up properly. I also use the Jaipur glossimer to bring out the pink of the lipstick. So it gets 4 lippies instead of 5 for all the extra work. But it's totally worth it.

Chanel is one of my favorite brands, if not on top of that list. Waikiki is a very nice color and the lipstick can stand really high temperatures and does not melt down, which I *love*. Even my mom loves this lipstick - she stole it from me and went on vacation with it! I'd definitely repurchase in another color as well.
