Chanel Holiday 2009: Which Aqualumiere Lipstick Is Your Fave?
Tue, 10/6/2009 by Karen | Posted in: Makeup
There’s nothing like lipstick to lift a girl’s spirit and help her climb out of a mental funk.
Today the four Chanel Aqualumieres ($29 each) from the Holiday 2009 collection were my little rescue workers.
I’m a little surprised that Chanel chose to release these for fall/winter on account of how sheer and shiny they are; seems like pinks and nudes are more typical spring/summer fare, but Coco and Co. always like to shake things up.
I think my favorite’s Maldives… It’s hard to go wrong with a name like that (I hear there’s good surfing in Maldives), and I dig the rosy pink.
I like all four of the names, but it doesn’t look like there’s a huge degree of difference among the shades…
Loading ...It’s time for this tired girl to hit the haaaaaay…
Sorry about not keeping up with your comments. I have been reading them all, even during the move, but I haven’t had time to reply. I’ll get back on track soon.
Hope you had a nice day. 
Zzzzzzz…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Grenada is beautiful, I think more flattering on a larger range of skin tones!

Where’s the “all of the above” option? All are beautiful.
I could swear to God there is a food called maldives but Google is only coming up with the country. Am I going nuts or is there food called a maldive? I think it’s a fruit or a nut…..:frustration:

Hi Karen,
Good to see that all is well with the move. I feel your pain girl, moving is so not fun.
For how sheer they are, do you think these are worth purchasing? I feel like they all look a little similar.

Maldives, without a doubt in my mind. Such a fine and smooth color with just the right shine

I love all of these. They look fabulous on you. Chanel did a great job again – so happy since I know I cannot wear those noirs on the lips.

Man i want me some new Chanel goodies so badly, but alas i am saving for a new computer. Gonna be a MAC. So Chanel and all the others will have to wait a bit. “sigh”

The look all very similar on your lips, but based on the tube colour, I like Maldives the best.

I saw this and thought “wow, she is tired. She used the same image for all 4 names!” Pretty, but too slight of a difference for me to fork out for any of these…

Is it just me or they look the same? :/
14. Rae said, on October 7th, 2009:
Hm. I’m with you on everything for this one — great names, and all very pretty, but way too similar! *yawn*

Hi Catherine,
Totally. They’re sheer enough to apply even without a mirror. So easy to wear!
Hey, has school started back up for you?
17. Karen said, on October 7th, 2009:
Hi Rae,
They’re very sheer for sure… you definitely have to be in the mood for light color to wear these!
