Day 26 of 30: Chantecaille Lip Gloss with SPF15 in Guava

July 19, 2011 Paris B 13 Comments

Chantecaille! The first time I knew anything about Chantecaille was when I saw their gorgeous Coral eyeshadow palette. Since then, there’s been one with dolphins, turtles and tiger heads on them. Very artistic, very gorgeous to look at and… you guessed it… very pricey!

I checked out the brand when I was in Hong Kong a few years ago – its our nearest Chantecaille counter and the prices left me reeling. So, when I was trawling my regular Strawberrynet haunt one day and saw a Chantecaille lipgloss on 50% sale, I just had to give it a go.

chantecaille guava lipgloss

The colour is Guava which research online told me was a nice pinky red and that it wasn’t sticky. The only downside is that it comes in a pan form, and so you need a lip brush to apply this. Well, fingers can work too… but that would be messy.

The packaging is sleek. Its like a little UFO sitting in the palm of your hand. Oh and its small too.

chantecaille guava

Its small and its flat and it really does not contain a lot of product. I used a lip brush and already I can imagine that if I keep at the same spot for 2 applications, I’d hit the bottom. Perhaps that isn’t such a bad thing? 😛

It feels a little like a lip balm going on the lips – its got that creamy balm feel. Not that goopy slippy slidey feel of regular watery lipgloss… if you know what I mean. The colour is sheer for layer 1 but you can already see the colour show up on your lips. Apply 2 layers and you get a lovely sheer lip colour that isn’t glossy nor goopy, but quite an elegant texture.

Also featuring: Sleek Makeup Curacao palette – Blue Lagoon and spots on the chin 😥

The colour is a light pink-red on the  lips and was perfect to tone down that super bright eye I sported. It isn’t super moisturizing but it isn’t drying either and having SPF15 is nice too. Is it worth its US$32 price tag? Honestly? Nah. But at 50% off, it was worth having a gander 🙂

In a nutshell

This is a lovely balmy lip gloss that applies without feeling sticky or goopy and imparts a good amount of colour for a gloss texture. The packaging is sleek and slim but you will need a lip brush to apply, although you can use your fingers in a pinch. Chantecaille products are generally very pricey.

Pros: Lovely non sticky balmy texture, No scent, Nice light natural colour as seen in the pan

Cons: Pricey, Packaging in a pan is a little impractical

I am a little curious why this is called Guava. In fact, I notice that anything named Guava tends to be pink-red. When someone tells me “Guava” I tend to think “green” because the skin of the guava is green. Perhaps they are referring to the guavas with pink flesh? That isn’t very common here – its mostly white on the inside – the guavas I eat anyway. So can anyone shed light on this? 🙂

Reaching a little here, but has anyone tried anything from Chantecaille that despite the hefty pricetag, you think is worth having a go at? I hear good things about their loose powder. Perhaps I’ll just stalk Strawberrynet more often to see what other goodies they bring in 😛

Chantecaille Lip Gloss retails at US$32. This was purchased online at Strawberrynet at a discount.

    I hate lip products in pots. Whether lip balms, glosses, or lipsticks, they are all just very inconvenient and is a very good breeding ground for germs especially if you use your hands to apply them. The very few I have is tucked away at back of my drawer to only see the sun light once every blue moon 😉

    On another note, the only product I have tried from Chantecaille is their Brilliant Gloss in Love. Truth be told, the only reason I purchased it was cause I saw that Angelina Jolie whipped it out and used it at the Golden Globes this year. I’m such a sucker 😉 On the bright side though, I do quite like it as it is not too sticky, not too shiny, has quite a good color payoff and smells fairly sweet, but my problem with it is that it just doesn’t last on my lip, an hour is the max wear time for me 🙁 Will I ever repurchase again? No. I prefer Chanel Aqualumiere better in terms of price and wear time. But at least I can claim I own something that Angelina Jolie owns 😉

      Actually, yes. I hate lip products in pots and in palettes. This was a moment of weakness because I saw it was Chantecaille and it was affordable 😀 That said, I remember the big fuss over Angelina Jolie’s gloss and how quickly it sold out! So you got lucky to pick one up 😀 Lasting power of this isn’t great either. But as I treat it like a lip balm, I don’t expect very much of it 🙂

    I remember some turtle eyeshadows from that brand? Oh, and a lipgloss that Angelina Jolie was seen applying that fell off the shelves… ^.^

      I totally forgot about Angelina Jolie’s lipgloss to be honest. Maybe its because it was a nude sort of colour which didn’t grab my attention 😀

      I’m not too sure about that to be honest. Its not drying, thats how I find it.

    i think it’s weird that diff faces have diff breakout areas. like for me, i almost NEVER get pimples on my nose, chin or cheekbones. everytime i breakout its jawline, centre of forehead. bleh!!!

    so much so that yesterday i ate seapark ipoh hor fun n dripped the soup abt 4 times all over my chin (its that good) and wiped it off wif my hand, but my chin is fine. imagine the oil n all!!

    i think when westerners say guava they always imagine the more ‘exotic’ pink guava juice. =P. perhaps when they see a real guava they’ll be surprised.

      Maybe we all have different problem areas 😛 I battle a constant battle with my chin 🙁 Honestly, guava should be green – that’s all I have to say about that. Unless they mean “jambu” 🙂

    I love chantecaille’s lipgloss in guava! it was the very first lip gloss that i ever encountered that wasn’t sticky (of course after that i saw a few, just a few, others…) so I was completely blown away at how un-sticky it was 😛 but yes it is expensive but i’ve yet to hit pan after a year so it’s not too bad for me 😛

    greeting from hk!

    your blog is very informative. i have been reading about different brands of lipsticks in your blog for a week now and i still have lots to read! a wealth of information !

    as to chantecaille , i have their pluto lip sheer. it is hydrating and it is very pigmented. i have rouge dior baume nuit rose and boreale and guerlain kisskiss roselip. i think chantecaille and dior is more hydrating and chantecaille is most pigmented. kisskiss is most sheer.

It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
