Chantecaille Luminous Glosses have delicious fruit inspired names; it's easy to see where Pink Melon and Framboise (French for 'Raspberry') get their inspiration from! The glosses apply smoothly and evenly; they have a flexible doe-foot applicator that is a bit flat and paddle-like. I like the finish of the glosses; they have a pleasantly balanced luster, avoiding the mirror ball shine you see in some glosses. The formula feels slightly tacky, but wears comfortably.
Chantecaille Luminous Gloss in Pink Melon is a demure light pink that leans a little peach. Chantecaille Luminous Gloss in Framboise is a juicy raspberry pink gloss. Both have nice pigmentation when worn and don't settle into lip lines. You may have noticed that the Spring 2013 Chantecaille Luminous Gloss colors correspond well with their Lip Chic counterparts (reviewed here); in fact, they wear very nicely when used in tandem with the Lip Chics. I've swatched the Chantecaille Spring 2013 Luminous glosses alone, Lip Chics alone, and the two formulas combined below. While each color looks beautiful solo, the combination of Lip Chic with Luminous gloss produces a more intense color and shine. In the promotional photo above, Olivia Chantecaille is modeling the beautifully bright Chantecaille Rose Délice and Framboise combination. The combination with Chantecaille Daphne and Pink Melon is equally stunning.
Both Chantecaille Luminous Gloss in Pink Melon and Chantecaille Luminous Gloss in Framboise ($34 for .26oz.) are gorgeous colors. Whether they're worn alone or in combination with a Lip Chic, you're sure to get a look that's trés chic! Both shades will be makeup bag staples for me this spring! Chantecaille Spring 2013 products are available at Chantecaille online as well select department stores. Thanks for reading! Have tried Chantecaille Luminous Glosses? What pieces are you loving from Chantecaille Spring 2013? Which of the two colors (Pink Melon or Framboise) do you prefer?
Love, Dovey.
P.S Stay tuned, there's more Chantecaille Spring 2013 to come!

Chantecaille glosses are pure luxury (like the whole brand, ah, love them!). Framboise is calling my name, so pretty and wearable, great for work as well, trés chic indeed :) / Claire
ReplyDeleteHi Claire, I'm so glad to hear you're a Chantecaille fan; you're right both colors are work friendly :)

ReplyDeleteHi Sunny, I really like the layered effect too! I'm happy they matched the glosses to the lipsticks :)

ReplyDeleteHi JoJo, I'm quite fond of Pink Melon too!
DeleteThe names of the shades are great. I really like the look of the Daphne+Pink Melon combo :) Chantecaille is definitely at the top of my list of favorite brands!
ReplyDeleteNever tried any Chantecaille but these look very nice and wearable. My fave from your swatch is actually Rose Delice. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dovey, Chantecaille Luminous Glosses have been on my to-try list for quite a while. I'm normally not a big fan of lip gloss, but I've heard lots of great things about these. Both shades look lovely in your swatches, but I especially like the look of Rose Delice and Framboise layered. They look so pretty together!
