I keep hearing about “the return of lipstick,” as if it actually went away, but what I’m looking forward to is the return of gloss.
Juicy, slick and shiny gloss.
These are a few Chanel glosses, all of which reside in their permanent collection ($32 each), that I’ve been loving on lately.
First, there’s 166 Physical. It’s a coral with subtle golden glitter. If your lips are pigmented like mine are, 166 can look pretty sheer, but I really don’t mind that at all. I actually love how subtle it is on its own, but, if you crave more color, it’s also easy to intensify with a base layer of coral lipstick or lip pencil underneath.
Next, there’s 744 Subtil, which also has major summery vibes. It’s also a coral but has rosier tones (aw, I just said Rosie… I miss my cat!). It’s a little more pigmented than Physical, and I bounce back and forth between the two throughout the day ’cause a girl’s gotta have options. 🙂
Then, there’s 724 Burnt Sugar, which is a golden caramel brown. It works well with classic summer eyeshadow shades like golds, coppers, bronzes and rose golds. If you’re into shades like MAC Teddy or Powersurge, or Tom Ford Spice, seriously, check it out.
Last, but not least, there’s 792 Aphrodite (a.k.a. “the blue gloss”). Admittedly, it looks cray in the tube, but it looks understated in actual looks. Don’t ask me how, but the blue just adds a bit of brightness.
Chanel fans, which are your favorite Chanel gloss shades? Mind you, I don’t need any more…but inquiring minds want to know! I mean, it can’t hurt to have a few on my wish list, right?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Wow I love the “Aphrodite”! I don’t own any Chanel glosses so I just went over to the Macy’s site and scored a tube of that. Thanks for the tip Karen!
You’re welcome, Kristie! I hope you love it.
They’re all beautiful, of course! 🙂 I’m quite partial to burnt sugar, which is no surprise, but they all look fabulous on you. I hope Rosie is having a blast with her pet sitter and that you are all enjoying Oahu!
Rosie has her pet sitter doing lots and lots of advanced math! She’s having the time of her life. ?
She is such a task master! 😉 Rosie would be very disappointed if I were her sitter. I find my math skills are getting worse by the day. HAHA!
The Burnt Sugar is my favorite on you. Great color!! Does it have a bit of shimmer? It reminds me of a discontinued lipstick, that I used to wear from Clinique, called Bronze Leaf. Boy, do I miss that shade!! It looked so natural on me.
Hi, Sherry! Yes, there’s a very subtle gold shimmer. I think it adds a little something to the gloss, for sure.
Aphrodite looks the best on you. Considering it looks blue in the tube, it is an amazing looking colour.
I never tried a Chanel gloss, so no recommendations, but Burnt Sugar looks SO good!
