Super cute coral shimmer lipgloss! it's a great lipgloss to have: smooth formula, subtle but gorgeous shimmer (really stands out in a subtle manner!) and a cute feminine coral. Packaging is great, not cheap so that elevates the price i'm sure. It goes great with my NC25/30 complexion and really warms my skin when I put it on. Not sure I would repurchase though, I feel as though I can find a clear coral shimmer in most brands but it's definitely encouraged me to go out and try some more chanel glossimers!! :)

One of my favorite Glossimers, hand down - it has that warm, sophisticated shimmer that Chanel does like no one else, and leaves my lips a flattering deep coral shade with incredible shine. Big Bang suits my NC35/40 olive complexion very well. While it is not longer available in the US, it is still sold in Asia. This means that locating a tube is a bit tricky, but it is well worth the effort. It is fairly pigmented, staying power is a bit longer than most glosses, and it is not very sticky at all, particularly in comparison to a product like MAC's lip glass. If only they would bring this back to the States - Big Bang is truly unique, and I will definitely re-purchase!

This lipgloss is one of my least favorites. It's expensive, sticky, and if my lips are the least bit chapped it looks horrible. However, the only thing I like about this product is it's color.

In December 2007, my Chanel SA invited me for a promotional make-up session and I ended up buying this gloss along with Rouge Allure in Quartz (I would never have bought big bang by the look of the colour in the tube !). When worn alone, it is a bit too orangey for my taste but the shimmer is really nice. When pared with a lipstick, it is much nicer. However, I give it only 3 lippies because of the foam applicator which I disliked. Also, it is a bit gritty. After about a year, it developped a horrendous smell, probably because of the foam applicator, so I had to throw it away. For a product which is supposed to last 18 months, it is a pity.

I have brown skin and brown eyes. I a light skinned african american and Big Bang is my absolute favorite. The price is better than Sisley's Ruby gloss (53)$. The glitter is not overwhelming and its just a pretty pinky coral great for day or evening. Whenever I feel a bit drab, this gloss gives me a spark! Chanel's Myriade is pretty but a bit too red for me and YSLs gloss 3 is beautiful but doesnt last as long. Gotta get the big bang 109! It will brighten your day!

I love this colour! At first I wasn't sure on the orange colour in the tube, but once on it looked gorgeous! A light red with goldish flecks - awesome for Summer! Moisturises the lips nicely, sleek packaging and just a fun product. Great on my pale skin and not too flashy. I don't go anywhere without this in my bag

No one can compete with Chanel's glossimers, they are simply the best. When the galaxy collection came out I went to see what they had to offer and no doubt Big Bang was the big winner. Its a very subtle corally reddish pink with gold bits. Very delicate upon application, delivers a sweet and pretty look however I had to take one lippy off for its weak staying power.

Hugely, hugely disappointed in this. Colour doesn't last & its virtually sheer anyway. Lips don't feel moisturised either :(

This is my second glossimer and I'm totally in love. The color in the tube looks very scary but once on my lips, it's a beautiful subtle red color. It has nice glitters in it, but not gritty at all, you don't feel the glitters on your lips. Staying power is okay, but that's not something you can expect from a lipgloss. It goes great with my orgasm NARS blush.

This is a beautiful shimmery, glittery coral lip gloss. When I was at the Chanel counter it immediately lept out at me and both the SA and I thought it looked great on. Unfortunately, it looks good on, but it really lacks staying power. It wears off very soon after it is applied and I'm left with coral and gold glitter all over my lips. I would have expected a bit better quality from Chanel. MAC and BE glosses have better staying power. Overall a nice shade that I will most likely use up, however I do not think I will repurchase.

Oooh I said when I tried this on my hand.

Ooooh indeed.

Look, I have a million lipglosses, I certainly don't need anymore. But there's something about this gloss - it is totally shimmery and a sheer red-pink on my pigmented lips that just looks lush. It has a nice texture (though not long lasting) and really gleams in these cold winters!

This is NOT a LE item in the UK.

My favorite lipgloss as well as one of the most expensive ones I've ever owned at $35. The color is peachy with a hint of gold sparkles. It looks super pretty on my lips and what's better is that it doesn't feel sticky, but super pigmented. This is exactly why I love Chanel.

I waited a really long time to review the Galaxy Glossimers since I bought them.I wanted to try them I got with a couple of blushes and shadows to find out which one work better for which look.So once I got the idea, I knew I had to write a couple of things and rave! In the Glossimer Galaxy Collection, there are four permanent colors (Galactic,Eclipse,Myriade and Equinoxe) and four LE colors (Astral,Sideral,Big Bang and Constellation). Since I can always go and pick up the permanent ones, I thought I should go for LE ones for now. So I bought all. Anyways, first of all the texture is a dream to apply.These go on so smooth and they're so non sticky.Considering they are full of glitter, in fact they look like they're made of glitter, all of these sound hard to believe but it's not. You won't even feel one little piece of glitter particle on your lips! These are not gritty! I love the gel-like texture even better than the other glossimers. Big Bang is the most beautiful one among 3 I have.This is a bright apricot-coral with pink and gold microglitter.Also it's pretty pigmented and enough to use alone.I love it with nude eyes (only mascara), and coral,salmon,peach and salmon blushes (think Chanel Reflex,NARS Taos,Lancome Blush Subtil Abricot Brandy).

I'll start by saying this glossimer's texture is quite different from the regular glossimer texture: more sheer and translucent (i prefer the cremier glossimers really); also more watery and therefore won't last as much on lips.
It is a coral shade with golden sparkles. If you liked YSL Golden Gloss #2, you'll love this. It works greatly with Nars Torrid and Orgasm blush.

I love the sheer coral/apricot/gold sparkly look it has on me (dark brown/blue/freckly tan). I don't like it layered w/ any of the lipsticks I've tried but I don't mind. It's alot easier to apply one product anyway. The package is gorgeous IMO. Love the way it looks in the tube but it goes on much more subtle. Expensive at $25 so I took off one point for that...this is the only glossimer I own and I plan to get more b/c I like this one so much.

The best! My new favorite!! The color is a beautiful pinky, peachy, goldy shade that seems to match everything! It has a lot of sparkle/shimmer, but in a good way-more so than the other glossimers I use (Spark; Coral Reef) Plus the same great consistency as always!
I wear it with Laura Mercier lipliner (the soft one) in Clover. BUY IT!

I called the company, and this was the shade used in the new ad. The pearl biting ad... So sexy and so many women I've met just had to know what shade that was. I hate when they don't list it on the print ad.
Gorgeous and very hot shade!

STUNNING! Omg, I luv it sooooo much! It is a peachy melon with slight gold and copper shimmer and bits of glitter. It makes my blue eyes pop and it very flattering on a tanned face! Definitely will repurchase!!!

This is one of Chanels new glosses that has amazing amount of sparkle to it. This is a peachy color with mostly gold sparkle. I love the color but the staying power isnt as good as some of the others and it tends to leave the sparkle on my lips and that looks odd to me.
