This is the pinker/sheer version of Volage, and the gold-infused version of Petunia (which is also very sheer). I guess it depends on the tube and also on the individual, but this appears on my lips with more pink-toned than golden-toned - the gold appears in the reflective sheen.


For some reason, my tube's gloss is thicker than my other Glossimers (might been the glitter).


For those of you familiar with Nars glosses, this is almost exactly like Sweet Dreams.

This is another gorgeous color from Chanel. Other revierwers described it perfectly. Sheer rosy pink with sublte golden shimmer. Perfect with darker eyes or for a more natural look and just divine over almost any lipstick. It seems to be a trend in Chanel gloss that what you see in the tube is not remotely how it looks on much like Spark, Sirop and others. About this being LE.... mine was with the regular testers and I think it may be permanent like Wild Rose is now. Must check into this. It's hard for me to find colors like this that aren't silvery or so pale that they look milky. Chanel is my go-to for l/g and this is another winner. EDIT: took a lippie off cause it can look a little too "gold" sometimes.

This color is just as lovely as it's name. It's a gorgeous sheer, rosy mauve-pink with very very fine gold mircoshimmer. In the tube it looks like shimmery silk, on the lips it is incredibly sheer though - perfect for achieving that flushed lip look. It's probably also worth mentioning that the shimmer is only really noticeable under intense light. If you're looking for something highly pigmented, you might want to steer clear of this one, but if you're like me and you love the flushed, dewy and naturally beautiful lip look - you won't mind forking over the $27 for this gloss. Would definitely purchase again if it were permanent.

I agree with the other reviewers below. This color is basically a nude. I hardly notice the gold sheen on my lips that appears in the tube. As the other reviewer put it, MLBJ.

Comparing this to the other shades that were recently released, I would say my favorites are Nebula and Silex. Nebula reminds me of MAC's Dazzleglass Date Night and Silex is a fun summery peach, so these were total opposites for me but they work. If I want an overall cool, plummy look, I go with Nebula. For warmth, I wear Silex. For neutral, I go to Waterlily.

I love love this color! It's so pretty on my lips. It's limited edition and I only bought one for now. I'm defintely going back to get another one. It goes on sheer and its perfect for me because I don't like too much color.

Be warned: this color is VERY sheer. I think it's even more sheer than Glow, which is my all-time fave. I'd say Waterlily is like a cool-toned version of Glow. I was a bit disappointed that Waterlily is so sheer, rather than applying like it appears in the tube. However, I have naturally very pink lips so this shade looks nice on me. It's like MLBJ (my lips but juicier). It gives a hint of pink color with subtle golden shimmer. I'm addicted to Glossimers so I'd say it's a worthwhile purchase for me. I've been wearing it every day for the past three weeks since I got it.

I can't believe I'm the first to review this! This was released with the Spring 2008 collection, which is all pinks and blues. In the tube, this color looks sort of scary. It appears to be a bright pink with golden pearl to it. On the lips, it is much more subdued and sheer. For me, since I have naturally pink lips, this just makes them ever-so-slightly pinker and then adds some gorgeous golden pearl/shimmer. Very pretty and not over-the-top.

As the other glossimers are, this is scent-less, not too sticky, and the gel finish is long-lasting.

Overall, I would repurchase if I used it up.
