For me, Chantecaille's line has always represented the epitome of 'effortless chic'. Chantecaille Spring 2013, featuring their quintessential Lip Chics, Luminous Glosses, and a new 'Save the Sharks Palette', is certainly no exception. I've been over the moon (or perhaps more appropriately under the sea) playing with these colors all week! Today I'll be sharing my review of Chantecaille Lip Chic in Rose Délice and Chantecaille Lip Chic in Daphne.
Chantecaille Lip Chics are among my favorite lipstick formulas; they're comfortable, emollient, and shiny. The hybrid lipstick and gloss formula delivers smooth semi-sheer color with added collagen. Their Lip Chic formula also has good lasting power for a glossy lipstick. Chantecaille Lip Chics are packaged in shiny rounded gunmetal cases with Chantecaille emblazoned on the outside and a 'C' logo within.
Chantecaille Lip Chic in Daphne is a light pink that leans slightly peach. Chantecaille Lip Chic in Rose Délice is a bright red pink. (Rose Délice is the color that Olivia Chantecaille is wearing in the Chantecaille Spring 2013 promotional photos). It's also worth noting that each Lip Chic has a corresponding Luminous Gloss color (Framboise and Pink Melon), both of which I'll review soon!
I've made a few comparison swatches below to give you a better idea of the colors in Chantecaille Lip Chic in Daphne and Rose Délice. Chantecaille Lip Chic in Sunrise (Spring 2012) is more coral/peach toned than Daphne. NARS Mayflower lipstick is a little darker and more strawberry toned, while Daphne is more pure pink. You can see how Chantecaille Rose Délice is more of a red-pink when compared to other bright pinks. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Anime (reviewed here) is a hotter pink, while Too Faced Fuschia Shock (reviewed here) is more fuschia toned, as per its namesake!
Bottom line: I'm enamored with both Chantecaille Lip Chics in Rose Délice and Daphne ($35 for .07oz.). The formula and colors are wonderful, as one would expect from Chantecaille Lip Chics. With one bright pink and one light pink, I'm set for spring! The Chantecaille Spring 2013 collection is available at Chantecaille online as well as select department stores. Thanks for reading! Have tried Chantecaille Lip Chics? What pieces are you loving from Chantecaille Spring 2013? Which of the two colors (Rose Délice or Daphne) do you prefer?
Love, Dovey.
P.S Stay tuned, there's more Chantecaille Spring 2013 to come!

Rose Delice looks really pretty. I think bright lips will be my go to look for spring!

Hi Gillian, Thanks! Bright sounds really pretty :)
DeleteTotally off topic, but I still can't get over how neutral NARS Mayflower looks on you! For me it ends up being a rather bold pink. It's always amazing what varying skin tones will do to a shade.
ReplyDeleteHi Alison, that is interesting! It does look more strawberry on my lips though, especially since they're a bit pigmented. On one of my friend it looks more nude.
DeleteRose Delice is really stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bellyhead, I think so too!
DeleteBoth shades are pretty, but I think Rose Delice will show up better on my lips! Can't wait to see the rest!
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny, Thanks! Daphne is more in the comfort zone for me, however you're right... Rose Délice is more of a statement
Deleteboth of them look gorgeous, but Rose delice is more my kind of color ;) I have never tried any of chantecaille products, I believe they aren't available here..
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela, Thanks for the comment! I really love the red tones in Rose Délice; it's a shame that Chante isn't available--- it's a wonderful line :)
DeleteThese are both stunning! Thanks for the comparison swatches.
ReplyDeleteChantecaille is a brand I really have to give a go sometime soon. Everything you swatch of theirs is absolutely gorgeous.
Hi Annick, Thank you! :) I admired from afar for quite some time too; however I've enjoyed what I've tried--- I like the subtlety in their colors.
DeleteI have to agree with everyone else- Rose Delice is a really striking color! I'll have to pick one up as a Valentine's present to myself... :D
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, Thanks! It's fun to hear all the love for Rose Délice, since I'm a more Daphne person myself. Sounds like a great Valentine's day gift :)
DeleteBoth Daphnee and Rose Delice are very pretty <3
ReplyDeleteI have not tried any Chantecaille lip color before but it looks very creamy and I love the glossy look too :)
Hi Memoiselle, Thank you! If you have a chance, they're worth a try--- I really like the formula (and colors) :-)
DeleteBoth of these colors are beautiful and right up my alley!! Do you have any other favorite colors in the Lip Chics?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I need Daphne! x
ReplyDeleteLove how sheer they look.
ReplyDeleteLip Chic's are among my favourite lipstick formulas too! They feel so comfortable, and the range of shades available are beautiful. They both look like pretty shades, but Rose Delice looks like it would probably show up more on my pigmented lips. Looking forward to your gloss reviews, Dovey! :)
ReplyDeleteChantecaille!! <3 love them, such an underrated brand still. I am definitely leaning more towards Rose Délice. Daphne looks interesting as well though, I have to try it and see how it will look on me. I spotted sharks in the bagground ;) can't wait for swatches <3 / Claire
ReplyDeleteI haven't dipped my toes into the Chantecaille pool yet. I think I'm afraid there won't be any turning back once I do! However, Rose Delice is sorely tempting me! That looks just perfect for Spring!
ReplyDeleteSooo in love with Rose Delice, I also like the slight glossy finish, it's so perfect!
ReplyDeleteoooo so pretty! i'm so curious about these!
ReplyDeleteDovey, do you know if these are permanent? I'm kind of in love with Rose Delice now and would like to know if it'll stick around when I feel splurgy. :D
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, think I might need some more lip chics in my life :)
