I love this gloss for a more neutral lip. It is a pretty gold flecked champagne color. It is slightly iridescent, however in a very classy, grownup way. Chanel glossimers are superior in their non sticky and no taste formulas. This is a lovely choice for a simple polished look.

A two rating for the packaging and the formula, the shade did not work on me but that does not mean it will not work on you. I'm fair, probably a NC 15 with non pigmented lips and this shade washed me out, it is so frosty that it was hard to see any peach-ish tone/shade in it. It would have maybe worked over a lipstick but I was really looking for something that I could use with or without a lippie. It retails for $28.50.

This is absolutely GREAT as a shimmery nude gloss for a full-on smokey eye look or with darker shadows. I use this gloss when I want to make the rest of my face stand out and look like I have very full, plush lips. Unlike Chanel's Pink Teaser Glossimer (which I purchased last summer), the glitter particles here are very fine and this gloss isn't tacky. This gloss is GREAT to apply over slighty colorful lipsticks as well - like Chanel Rouge Coco in Camelia and Mademoiselle - because its light color and shimmer will make your lips appear fuller. Of course, my favorite method of using this glossimer is: 1) layered over a pink lipstick like Revlon's Pink in the Afternoon OR 2) on its own.

Yes, it is pricy for a lipgloss that I used up in 6 months (!) but that's because this was my lipgloss of choice when I went out at night. I'm NW35 and think this color works particularly well on cooler-toned women.

Classic Glossimer. Been around for many years. As others have stated; a pale pink color with a little peach undertone and slight shimmer. It is my 'go to' color when I go to gym or don't want full face make-up. It has a thicker consistancy than other Glossimers because of the shimmer. The older colors are thicker and not as wet as newer ones. They keep discontinuing the older Glossimers. Hope this one stays. The pinker version is Paillates.

Love it! It's kind of a nude pinkish shimmery color on my lips. Texture is smooth and not sticky. I won't declare that it last a real long time but a couple hours or so. My only catch is that it's expensive but if your in the mood to splurge on some lip gloss get this!

Seashell is a lovely nude/pink gloss of top notch quality as with all Chanel's glosses, however on my very fair cool skin I just don't see it working that well, I own about 10 glossimer's and Sundress is one of them and I think it works on my complexion way better. This is a lovely color and in my opinion would look fabulous on warmer skinned women especially during the summer against a golden tan. Stunning color just not for me.

I like glossimers and so far, this shade is my favorite. As with most glossimers, it is hydratng, not sticky, and lasts longer than most glosses. And of course the Chanel packaging is divine. This color is a light peachy pink with gold and pink shimmer. I wear this over my Rouge Coco Chintz lipstick and it gives it a nice pop. it is perfect as a neutral color paired with smokey eyes. I gave it 4/5 because the Extrait de Gloss from Chanel is still 10x better in my opinion.

Seashell is my first Chanel glossimer, and I'm in love!! It is a shimmery, multidimensional color that's mainly soft pink but has coral undertones and gold flecks. This is by far the creamiest lip gloss I have ever tried. It glides on so smoothly and feels very moisturizing on my lips. I just love the consistency and the really good staying power. I know $30 is a lot for a lip gloss, but I think this is well worth the money. I normally pair this with my nude lipsticks like Nars Little Darling or Mac Fresh Brew, and it just compliments them so well. I'm looking forward to trying other glossimers. I have my eyes on Iris, Waterlily, and Muscat. I highly recommend this lip gloss. It's so beautiful.

I'm more or less a newbie when it comes to Chanel lipgloss, but after testing this one out at Macy's I purchased it immediately. By far the best thing about this gloss is that it is not sticky AT ALL! On top of that it's super moisturizing. I love the little sparkle of gold that's embedded into the neutral peach tone of the color, it goes with whatever makeup you're wearing, whether it be a cool toned look with purple eyeshadow and pink blush or a warmer look with copper eyeshadow & bronzed cheeks, it goes with absolutely everything. It's a bit pricey, but you do get the luxury you'd expect from Chanel.

A beautiful, simple luxury. This was my first Glossimer and definitely won't be my last. It is a beautiful pink/peach/nude color that looks perfectly sexy day or night. I am just a lip gloss person so I wear this alone and it looks lovely with a darker eye and bronzed cheeks. It's shimmery but not frosty and dated. Huge rave!!

This is a beautiful peach/pink/beige color and can be used on its own or on top of another lipstick. Used alone, it gives me a soft natural look. The texture of this glossimer is sheer but not too sticky as some other lip glosses can be. When I was at SFA trying this glossimer, I swatched 3 RC's on my hand (Beige Felin, Organdi Rose, and Muse) and put Seashell over each one. It made these 3 stunning RC's even better! Now I have to get those RC's! Chanel products are not the cheapest on the market, but this is one of their most versatile products where you will get your money's worth.

This color is perfect for people you want a nude lip, but don't want to go OTT I will always re- purchase Chanel glossimers.

LOVE. I was just re-reading through my own reviews and realized I've never reviewed Seashell and it is the only l/g in my sizeable stash that is almost used up!

Seashell is aptly named, it is a soft, irridescent peachy shade much like the inside of a seashell. This is a very sheer gloss so if you're looking for a lot of color you will want to pass, but if you're looking for a product that adds a pretty luminosity to your lips check this one out. This glossimer brings a lightness to your lips and of course it is long-wearing and comfortable like most glossimers. If you're familiar with the glossimer line you know the consistencies can vary slightly. Seashell is on the gel side, not creamy.

Seashell is a lovely shade of pale shimmery champagne, with a tinge of peachy pink. It doesn't have much color on its own, but it's absolutely stunning over nude lipsticks. Long-lasting yet non-sticky, very shiny, and gorgeous packaging. No fragrance. Pricey, but these glosses come in big tubes and last quite a long time.

Love Chanel glossimers! I would love to have them all. I 'm a sucker for anything w/ Chanel on it :). This gloss is VERY light just a slight peach/pink tint I don't want to say color because it's that barely noticiable with shimmer so it's nice over anything, on its on though it's not much which depending on what look your going for could be a good thing. Right now this is my go to gloss for everyday I just wear w/ a nude lipliner.

I went to the Chanel counter to get another of my fave glossimer, Sundress. I asked them what else I would like that's similar to that (peachy-pink shimmery nude). They rec'd seashell and it is perfect. It definitely is sheer and the pics from enoki? 2 down are pretty spot on as to real life. This is a fabulous color with any color eye as it kind of morphs with your skintone and other makeup. Just a glowy pinkish nude. Great with peach or pink blush and a smokey eye or neutral. I love how long it lasts and that's the sticky for ya! Still hate the enormous tube and how the product shoots out the end initially but for color choice and longevity....I'll keep coming back to Chanel

ok, so I wanted to love this lip gloss!! it looks like a beautiful color in the tube but when you apply it, it has no color on my lips whatsoever!! so dissappointed!! It looks the same as if I were to put a shiny chap stick on!! Also it's a bit stickier than most glosses, and you have to keep layering it on and on to get just a little bit of a hint of shiny pinkishness!! will not repurchase! very upsetting! this is ok if you want a clear gloss, but I advise you to go to CVS and pick up a tube of L'oreal for like $6! I was expecting a cute pale pinkish nude......i think i'll try NARS turkish delight instead!

Beautiful lip gloss! The SA recommended this because she said it was one of the most popular. It's very pretty, pink, and feminine.

At first I did not think this would do much for me. But it is real pretty over some coral lipsticks I wear. It really brightens it up. It will be pretty this summer also for a natural look over a light liner.
