An SA at nordstrom applied this gloss on me when I was doing a makeover. I love it. It's this perfect Hitchcock blonde pink, very cool toned and understated. It feels nice on the lips and wears a decent amount of time considering it's a gloss. I also appreciate the fact that it wears off evenly instead of leaving a glittery mess around my lip line.

I've never liked lip gloss very much for all of the reasons that non-lipgloss users give: too sticky, doesn't last, funny taste, strange colors. And then I met Rose Sand. It isn't sticky, it doesn't taste funny, and the color is a lovely, sophisticated pink. OK, it doesn't last but it is easy to reapply. I can't imagine using anything else ever.

This lip gloss is the greatest. It meets my tough criteria for not being sticky, having NO taste, giving a classy grown-up shine and being the perfect shade of very sheer light pink. I get a polished, natural look with this. Although it is expensive, it is the only lip gloss I have liked enough to purchase repeatedly -
Listen to Mommala....... TRY IT !!

I got this as a present and I am in love with it. It's a nice sheer pink color with tiny little shimmer. The color is gorgeous! To me, this is not too sticky and doesn't really smell like anything to me. I'm finding that I am grabbing this one more than any of the other lipglosses that I have recently purchased. My new favorite!

This is one of the best Chanel Glossimer Lip Glosses I've purchased. At the counter I was about to buy Sesame, which I love also, but the MA proposed this color to me to add a little bit more colour. I usually don't listen, but I am happy I did. The texture if really nice too. Not sticky, not to gel-like.

This was ia a pretty lipgloss but as far as quality is concerned it is pretty low in quality it does not last longer than 30 minutes. For something so expensive it needs to be more high quality. It's just a non pigmented pink sparkle and nothing more. I can get more than that at a much cheaper price. Personally, I like a sticky lasting gloss. I don't understand why people want a long lasting nonsticky gloss it makes no sense for a gloss to last it has to be sticky duh! Think of MAC lipglass everyone complains of stickyness but it sure does last even all day.

I grade lip glosses by these five aspects. I also give each aspect a number grade, which is averaged at the end to equal the lipstick grade. Please enjoy!
Name: CHANEL Levres Scintillantes Glossimer - 89 Rose Sand
1. Color
In the package, this CHANEL lip gloss looks like a very pretty pink; not a bright or bubble gum pink, but a sophisticated but young pink (sorry if you can't understand). On lips, this barely gives any color. This gloss gives more of a accent to lips than a color. As with all glossimers, this is not very pigmented. In Color, I would give this a 3.
2. Stickiness
This CHANEL lip gloss has a fairly sticky lip gloss. I don't reccomend you kiss, eat or drink with this lip gloss on; you'll leave a glittery pinkish mark behind. It was dissapointing how sticky this gloss is! Some people may like that, though. In Stickiness, I would give this a 2.5.
3. Shine/Sparkle
This CHANEL lip gloss is both very shiny and sparkly. The glitter is very fine, and it won't feel gritty on your lips; it also "catches" and reflects light, bringing attention to your lips and face. The sticky, gel texture gives a lot of shine. The shine is very reflective, and gives the illusion of fuller lips. Bravo, CHANEL! In Shine/Sparkle, I would give this a 5.
4. How Long Will This Stuff Stay On?
This CHANEL lip gloss will stay on for a moderate amount of time; about 3 to 4 hours if you don't eat, drink or kiss. To maintain the high gloss finish, I had to reapply a thin coat every hour. But if you want to keep just the sparkle finish, you won't have to reapply too much during the day. In How Long Will This Stuff Stay On?, I would give this a 3.5.
5. Package/Applicator
This CHANEL lip gloss comes in a beautiful and sleek package, as always. It is very convinient to carry in you purse. The CHANEL CC logo is on the cap to add prestige! The sloped doe-foot applicator allows precise application. The package will also not allow overflow. The package is also more sanitary than a pot gloss. In Package/Applicator, I would give this a 4.
CONCLUSION:
I would buy this gloss again. Why? The fine glitter, sheer colors, shiny finish and chic package make it a true lip gloss. The horrendous price tag of $26 will make me think twice, though.
FINAL SCORE:
18 divided by 5 = 3.6 (Rounded to 4 lipsticks)

Beautiful gloss. Very pretty light pink. Flattering with different lipsticks. Nice shimmer but not over the top. I wish it lasted a little longer however.

I love this with Chanel Waikiki Aqualumiere lipstick. I have already repurchased more than once.

well, let's put it this way: Buy this if you want to feel pretty without doing anything drastic. An indulgence purchase, if you will. Packaging, as with any other Chanel glossimer, is pretty and classic without being fussy. Texture, as with any other Chanel glossimer, is velvety smooth without being sticky. Taste/smell, pleasant enough. Color? Well... it's pretty... I guess... Mostly shimmer, but not enough to make you look trashy, slight, and i mean SLIGHT color, but barely enough to make a difference. Think Air Kiss by Clinique, but with better taste/smell/texture. It works for everyone because it doesn't really do very much. Pretty enough, but for $24?, a little much..

I'm so disappointed. From the tube, this looks like the most gorgeous pink ever. I'm a huge lover of glossimers, love their feel and coverage. This goes on so so pale, hardly any color. I saw it on the cover of Allure worn by Audrey the French actress in DaVinci Code, it was so beautiful, but it goes on nothing like that. Bummer.

i love this gloss! by far my favorite pink lip gloss. I love the texture of glossimers as well because they aren't sticky or too runny. This color is a light-medium pink with lots of shine and shimmer. Very pretty and I would definitely repurchase

So I really like this so far. It is a bit sheer which i was upset about at first but it's just so pretty that I like it anyway. I think it's more of a cool pink in the tube but on it's a lighter sheerer pink with lots of shimmer, but not in a bad, noticeable way.

This is my current HG lipgloss. It is the perfect YLBB for me. It is a cross between a rose and a baby pink. I would say it is more cool toned than warm toned. It does have shimmer but it is quite fine and less gritty than some previous glossimers such as bubble. This lipgloss is quite sheer but it does show up on my medium pigmented lips.

As with all glossimers the packaging isn't great - wand in tube and sometimes it leaks a little so you have to wipe the stick of the wand on your lips to get all the gloss off before putting it back into the tube. (The does prevent the overspill of the gloss which so many people complain about).

This is such a beautiful color. Great rose shimmer. I took one lippie off just because I think that it is reall similar to alot of the other glossimers (Jaipur in particular) but if you dont own alot of the lighter pinky gloses then grab this one. Its so pretty.
******EDITED****** I caved and went back and bought this gloss. So gorgeous I just couldn't resist. At first I thought it was similar to my other Chanel pinks, but after wearing it more i think it's different enough to stand on its own. More warm pink than cool like the others I have. LOVE for summer :)

A gorgeous pink Glossimer. On some this may be significantly less pigmented than other glossimers tend to be, but it does give some color to the lip (more than just a clear gloss). Great staying power, and it's definitely less sticky than many other glosses. It's not a cheese-y candy pink, nor is it clear - just a great 'your lips but better' color. Very lovely for spring/summer. Would definitely buy again!

This is a lovely, sheer shimmering baby pink, as the previous reviewers have described. Most of the summer 2006 glossimers are sheer, this is probably the sheerest. That being said, I still love it. It looks beautiful over my Barbados Aqualumiere, and great on it's own. I can see throwing this one on before I go to the gym or take the dog for a walk in the park-it's one of those "i'm not really made up today" glosses.

This is one of the more sheer glossimers from the Summer '06 collection, but I love that. Rose Sand is a bit darker than seashell, and almost as sheer. It adds a sheer glaze of shimmery mauvey-rose pink to my lips, making them look fuller and a little pinker without a lot of pigment. It's a great color if you like the natural but prettier look. These seem more gel-like and less sticky than previous Glossimers.

In my opinion this gloss is not very unique. It is very sheer and on my pigmented lips it is pretty much clear. For the price, there are better things out there unfortunately. The staying power is decent, but I would not repurchase because I feel there are much better lipglosses out there.
