Loved this, the only thing is that I would have to reapply every 15min, and I'm sad to say I lost this somewhere!

This has been my new favorite lipgloss since I bought it last month. The color is perfect for daily wear. It has a great texture that isn't too sticky. When I want a little extra Va Va Voom, I put this Chanel Glossimer over my Dior Lip Maximizer.

My only complaint is that I can't find #93 online anywhere! I hope it hasn't been discontinued.

I am always trying to find a pink that works with my olive skin that is opaque enough that it works on it own without a similar color lipstick to anchor it and covers my naturally dark pink lip color. This is my favorite gloss at the moment and I am just hoping its never discontinued. Change has a way of discontinuing my favorite glossimers sadly.
If you're looking for a perfect multi dimensional pink gloss that's neither barbie nor too sheer, you NEED this. I bought two just in case and will probably buy more in the near future.

This gives me WOW lips but in a very natural, subtle way. I was truly surprised by how much the right colour can do. I am fair with highly pigmented lips and this is a soft warm pink with shimmer that gives my lips a lot of dimension. I feel like my lips have perfect lighting all the time. It is a great summer look that not only goes well with all blushes and eye makeup, it makes them look better. This is a modern way to wear gloss, a cool update for your makeup wardrobe.

Love this Glossimer. Perfect pink with shimmer. You can use this alone or over any lipstick. I love that it is thicker than other Glossimers. It stays on longer and doesn't feel wet or sticky.

Please click continued for a swtach.

This is a very pretty light pink gloss with multi-coloured shimmers. The pic didnt capture them very good but enlarging the pic may help. It is a bit similar to the Rouge Allure in Admirable from Chanel when on lips. This is not simply glossy but very shimmery. Forunate enough, shimmers in the lip gloss is rather refined and not gritty at all.

The gloss is on the sheerer side when compared to the rest of the line - providing a veil of colour. Needless to comment on the texture - gel-like with good staying power and no funny scent.

I'm not sure if I'll repurchase as to me, this is not an essential color like Praline and the other 2 shades of glossimer in the pic. This is a bit too much shimmer that I can accept as well. Anyhow, this is a pretty shade that I think I'm going to keep until I find a less shimmery one.

I LOVE this lip gloss. The color is so natural and gives a nice shimmer. I really like Chanel lip glosses cause they do not have a funny plastic taste, unlike Laura Mercier lip glosses. You can also layer this gloss on lipsticks to totally change the color or use lipliner to alter the color. Very versatile and a must have!

This beautiful shimmery nudish-pink gloss looks great alone on bare lips or on top of any shade of lipstick as a neutralizer or to add a shimmery glossy sheen! LUV it!!! One day I wore it into a MAC store and the makeup girl even complimented me on my lipgloss color and asked what color it was ^_^

This is my third Glossimer and I love it... just like the other two I own.
I bought this one for 19 euros and it was worth every cent. It's a sparkly pink shade, looks gorgeous with a taupe or a greyish coloured eyeshadow. When you wear this shade your lips are the first thing people notice... it will make someone want to kiss you! :P

I really love this product, but hate the price. Ack! Anyway, as for the gloss itself, it is really pretty on its own, but for evenings or special events I wear it over the Chanel nude lipliner (fill in lips too please!) and it. Looks. Fabulous. It's like your lips, but way, way better. And does anyone else notice that after you put it on, your lips start to tingle like with a plumper? I already have plump lips so I don't need it, but I wonder if it's supposed to plump as well? Anyway, it was a splurge, and a pretty one, but I think I could hunt down a similar product for at least half the price (one would hope!).

I used to be a huge collector of Glossimers, but then I started getting annoyed with them because I found that some of them gave me that dreaded "ring between the lips" effect after a couple hours of wear, or else the tube would get gunky and leaky after a a few months. But, I was in the mood for a new lipgloss, and this looked really pretty in the tube, so I decided to give it a shot.

Like all other glossimers, this is pretty lightweight (I guess attributed to the "gel" texture it is supposed to have), and is quite moisturizing. I find that this one also lasts longer on my lips without getting goopy.

The color is very light -- on my pink lips, it is a light pink with glitters/shimmers. I'm not really sure is there is a comparable color in another brand. For me, since my lips are so bright, this tones them down a little, and I don't have a problem with looking washed-out.

Overall, if I ever ran out, I would probably repurchase.

I'm PPP (lighter than nw15) and can only pull off soft shades so I thought this would be a perfect match.

This was very beigey-peachish on me. Looks gorgeous in the tube but really dulled my complexion.. back it goes :(

The best lip gloss ever! The shade is amazing, it makes face look brighter. Good both for brunettes and blondes. Stays very long, and at the same time is not sticky. Very comfortable to wear! Love it!

I've never written a product review, but I felt compelled to write about this Glossimer because it was rated so low. I LOVE it. It's a pale shimmery pink with just the right amount of sparkle. I think it's so pretty. I've been wearing a lighter lip and playing up my eyes more. This gloss is light and sheer, but it has enough color that I don't feel washed out. It has a great texture and it's very long wearing. It's difficult for me to spend $25 on a lipgloss, but Chanel's glossimers are worth the extra $.

I'm surprised that the reviews on this new glossimer from the 07 spring collection are so mixed. This is a beautiful cool pink gloss with subtle sparkle. It looks beautiful over everything and also just with the nude liner. Aside from Pagoda, I think this is my favorite. Chanel glosses have one of the best textures out there.

I'm so surprised at the negative reviews for this Glossimer! I think the color is beautiful - but I agree it's definitely not a rose shade... this is a light neutral pink with a lot of shimmer. Now, I normally can't wear a light or nude shade of gloss because it completely washes me out, but Pailettes gives me just enough color and what's more, it's long lasting on me.

I love Glossimers but this one is a huge disappointment. It is a shimmery pale pink with a small amount of sparkle. The worst thing is that this glittery sparkle seems to migrate across my lips and face. A big thumbs down on this one.

i looove glossimers, and when i looked at this one in the spring collection i wanted it so bad! pale pink with beautiful shimmer. still, when the guy at the counter applied it and i looked in the mirror, i couldn't help but gasp... it looked awful! completely washed me out, made me look tooo made up, and looks too glossy glopy thick. creased at the corners,too. the color is no good, i agree with the review below. so glad i tried it before buying. still, the shimmer was truly gorgeous. will look for glitter next, maybe it'll satisfy my shimmery craves.

Pailettes is a Glossimer released in Chanel's Spring 2007 line along with the limited edition Glossimer named Glitter. While Glitter is described as icy white, Pailettes is described as a rose glitter. While I didn't mind the glitter, I did have a problem with the "rosiness." I consider myself (NW 15) to have low-to-medium pigmented lips, and the color of this Glossimer was way too light. Note that I said the color was too light- it was much more of a lighter pink than a rose, and it looked pretty awful on my lips. I feel that I would need to tone down my natural lip color before attempting to wear this Glossimer again. Since the color of Pailettes showed up that much, I will say that this Glossimer does have plenty of pigment. This Glossimer also reminded me of the Volage Glossimer, which I bought despite it also being too light of a color on my lips. At least I learned my lesson with Volage- I did not buy Pailettes, because lip glosses that are lighter than my natural lip color rarely get worn. I ended up buying Imaginaire instead of Pailettes because it was more sheer, didn't look awful on my lips, and I believe it to be more versatile.


From the Chanel.com description of Glossimers: Gel texture imparts a shimmery, ultra-glossy look. New shades add extra sparkle and shine.


Water-resistant formula for extremely long-lasting wear. Vitamins C and E protect against free radicals. Automatic wand applicator for easy application. Dermatologist tested.


Sleek on alone for a glamorous glimmer. Or use over lipstick to intensify colour and shine.


I rated this Glossimer as a 3, not a 4, for price. While they cost US$25.00, they are long-wearing, they feel wonderful on my lips (they almost feel like they're moisturizing my lips!), and the tubes seem to last a long time for me. Yes, these glosses are costly, but as long as I find a color I love, I think their cost is well worth it.
