This is a pretty big departure from my normal opinion of Chanel glosses but this one does deserve a chance from everyone. I'm a NC30, LM Sunny Beige, Stila C, and Chanel 20 with black hair and black eyes. My lips are medium pink pigmented and can usually turn a neutral red into a berry.

This shade is not what it appears in the tube... It looks neutral warm red with a heavy dose of gold. On the lips, it is actually kinda cool toned... it turned a berry on me. I would say it's not a true berry but more like a raspberry (think a blue red but not enough to be berry toned). The shimmer and shine is quite high but it really does suit the gloss. The gold seen in the tube is mirrored on the lips (which is quite nice!). I like the texture... it's smooth and not drying. I dont mind the scent either. Overall, it's a great shade... works well with my skintone and it maybe one of the few chanel glosses worth the heavy $$$.

I already own and love Pagoda Glossimer, but I figured it was time for a new color for the holidays so I got Spark off eBay (as Sephora and Nordies were sold out!). It looks scary-dark in the tube, very magenta with gold shimmer, but is beautiful on my pigmented lips. It IS magenta but it's very muted, and the shimmer isn't gritty or intolerable. Punches up my lips and really looks good with a non-dramatic eye look for daytime. Texture and lasting power are excellent, as with all Glossimers. Priced at $24, these glosses are worth it! (But it didn't get a 5 from me because the tube gets gunked up quickly!)

I was shocked at how much I love this color!! In the tube, it looked kind of like a scary, very pigmented red color (like the Passion Glossimer Extreme). However, on the lips it is a gorgeous, semi-sheer raspberry red with verrrry slight gold shimmer. Seriously, it is my new HG. It goes with everything. My boyfriend doesn't like that I love it so much though, bc since it is colored, he never wants to kiss me when I have it on :p It also wears off well, and looks like a lovely stain when the gloss part is gone.

Wow!! This is a very pretty berry/hint o bronze color!! Im a ddd and i normally hate berry colors, im more of a bronze and brown kinda girl. But this is very wearable and sheer.The price is a bit painful and thankfully i was able to get my 2nd one from e-bay, however i would purchase again. The staying power is pretty decent and 1 tube does last much longer than mac's lipglass.

I really like this Glossimer so far. I got this based off of recs on the board for a sheer red/berry gloss and this is absolutely perfect. It seems to turn almost a sparkling ruby shade with gold shimmer on me. It brightens up my face and, as of now, will be my standard fall and winter lip. I'd buy this again as soon as I run out.

Spark is my third Glossimer - I also have Sesame and Sungold - and I'm rapidly becoming a Glossimer addict. I love the non-sticky texture, and the not-too-sheer coverage, and these are definitely the longest-lasting glosses on me. In tube, Spark looks like a very dark berry with shimmer, but once applied, Spark is medium-toned berry, and less fuschia than Hibiscus (which I swatched at the counter). This is a very wearable daily shade, and brightens my whole face. Looks great when paired with minimal eye makeup for a classic look. The price is expensive but for me, it's worth it! The packaging is very chic, and I plan on repurchasing Spark when needed. For reference: NC30, Asian, yellow-neutral skintone; brunette/brown eyes.

This gloss was chosen for me by a Chanel MA, and initially I looked at it and thought, "Ugh, not another berry shade", because I feel like I have so many and I was looking for something unique. Spark is very different from the tube, as it is actually a sparkling red shade, almost like a hybrid between strawberry and raspberry, with a hint of sparkle. It is truly beautiful! I think that it immediately brightens my face and makes me look very polished when I wear it. I have been using Chanel's Aqua Crayon in Cognac to bring out the redness of the shade, and I find that pencil goes perfectly with it. As with the other Glossimers that I own, this leaves my lips soft and with a really good color payout even after the gloss itself has worn off. I would definitely repurchase this!

This was my introduction to Chanel and to glossimers and was thanks to another MUAer who really generously RAOKed me. Well, I guess I thought I knew what lip gloss was supposed to be like but I really had no idea until this most wonderful of lg experiences. I have even tried other HE glosses (like trish mcevoy) and really there is no comparison in overall quality. This product goes on smooth, lasts well and looks, well, simply gorgeous. The color is beautiful berry with gold sparkle (but in a very subtle way). Really can't recommend this enough. I'm NC35 - olive, 42 yo.
Follow-up...since I tried giggle glossimer, its become my new HG so this is still lovely, but I reach for giggle alot more.

I absolutely love this gloss. It is my first glossimer, and they are a very impressive formula. Not sticky at all, good staying power. My only with is that Spark came in a lipstick formula. Sometimes I just don't want all the shine. But I can't have it all. This color looks beautiful on anyone! Depending on how much I apply, it's a sheerly bright pink (but not a loud color) or red. It has lovely subtle gold flecks.

NC30 skintone-Finally bought a glossimer and this is one of three that I chose based on mua members recommendations for me. I mostly use MAC glosses and after trying a glossimer-I'm hooked! I will probably be buying mostly only glossimers from now on. The lipgloss is so smooth and comfortable on the lips but lasts a really long time. I applied some gloss just for fun before a nap and when I woke up an hour and a half later the gloss was still on and my lips looked fab. Makes my lips look really full. This gloss is worth the money!

The color SPARK: A sparkly fushia/purple color with gold sparkles. A great berry shade.

I was at Sephora one night after work trying on lipgloss after lipgloss. My lips were soooooo sore from wiping it off and from trying lip plumpers. I finally left and was walking through Macy's when I stopped at the Chanel counter and saw Spark. I tried it on even though my lips were screaming NOOOOO!! It felt instantly soothing and I loved the color! So I bought it!

I have 3 tubes of this stuff I love it sooooo much! LOVE the color. I'm a pale brunette with green eyes. My hair & eyes are warm but I have a lot of pink in my skin so I consider it cool. I want my lipgloss to give me some color not just be shiny. I hate colors that just melt into your own coloring and I'm not a fan of the nude lip....my drama teacher calls it "liver lips".

I'm also not into bright screaming lips (for myself) either. I have other colors of this like summer plum which I also love for spring/summer. I tried Jaipur but it's just too neutral. (I'm looking to swap it!) I like Blizzard too.

AHH I want this stuff SO badly! I tried it at the Chanel counter and it was such a pretty color! I thought it would be way too red/dark but it wasn't! Kind of a mix between red and raspberry (that sounds ugly but it is hard to describe?!) and it can be worn very sheer; I just dabbed some on with my finger and it was perfect! And I usually *hate* when there is glitter/shimmer in makeup, but the gold flecks are not that bad. They probably help to make this such a pretty shade. But it IS $25..which is crazy for lipgloss! I had just bought two purses and a new pair of sunglasses, so I already felt broke. I just couldn't make myself spend $25 on lipgloss :( I'm sure I will eventually break down and buy it..I keep searching Ebay, but it is just as expensive. I guess it's worth the money, though! :)

My favorite lip shade right now. In the bottle it looked like it would be too dark for my pale skin and light hair, but I was surprised to find how flattering the shade was on. I wear this gloss pretty much every day and I think it was worth the $$ to find a gloss that’s as flattering as this.

I tried this over a too-red lip pencil that has been lying around in my make-up kit for far too long, and the Spark Glossimer turned it into the most beautiful color I've ever had on my lips. Wonderful alone, but it makes even the ugliest lip pencil shade gorgeous. Not too sticky, and it really seems to have great staying power. Best lip gloss I've ever purchased!

This shade is so gorgeous. It is a shimmery red but not brick red or fire engine red. It is pretty strawberryish apple red but the shimmer in it adds the oomph. I understand why this shade is Chanel's best seller.

This is such a gorgeous unique color. I'll start of by saying that the texture of glossimers is fabulous.. it's not too sticky but it still manages to last. Spark is a beautiful raspberry shade with gold shimmer. It goes on sheerer than it looks in the tube. It's also a very flattering shade as it worked on me, a friend, my mom, etc. Spark is my favorite out of the glossimers I own and it's the must-have in my opinion. It retails for $25 (US) and I would rebuy if I ran out.

Whatever you could ask for in a lip gloss THIS IS IT. Worth every penny I paid for it. A fasinating, multi-dimentional shade of berry/plum. Just the right amount of shimmer. Not sticky or fragrant. And best of all...drum roll please...it stays on better than a lot of lipsticks. No kidding. It's amazing. It's perfect. Yes...it's amazingly perfect.

This is a sophisticated, sheer berry color on my lips (NC37) - I was worried it would be too dark and too brown but it's definitely a berry on me. Great for every day and kinda has a sexy edge b/c of the depth of color and subtle shimmer. It lasts and lasts and there's a ton of product. No scent or fragrance. What more could I ask for!?

Hands down THE BEST DAMN lipgloss I've ever used and I've used many believe me! MAC, NARS, Lipfusion, Too Faced, WnW, Maybelline, Sally Hansen, Revlon SL, YSL, Dior, Avon, high end...low end...the list goes on and on. When I first heard Glossimiers were $24.50 + tax I was like "NO WAY AM I PAYING THAT MUCH!" But this is so worth it! The texture of this gloss is so smooth and long lasting and not sticky or goopy like MAC & NARS. "Spark" is a lovely shade or sheer red infused w/golden shimmer. Rasberry red...the only red I can pull of. I love this gloss. It's HG (I'm an auburn haired NC35 for reference.) I also love that Glossimiers have no scent/taste because even the pleasant scent of a MAC lipglass bugs me sometimes. I would defintely repurchase, but for the amount of $$$ you pay the tube should last you a long time!

This is the perfect sheerish red. I cannot wear lipsticks because there is too much color..but this is like the perfect marriage between opacity and sheerness. Just beautiful!
