Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: Star Glossimer from the Chanel SoHo Collection

A glittery pinkish purple lipgloss? Yes, please!

And the fact that this one’s also a Chanel Glossimer doesn’t hurt — well, except for the $27 price. That part hurts, but overlooking the way in which that makes my tummy churn, yippee!

She’s called Star, and like her namesake she’s all about the sparkle (with a very light tint). We’re talking good glitter here, very fine, and it doesn’t migrate around my lips.

Star feels thick and slightly sticky to me with a wear time around 90 minutes (mediocre for a gloss), and I’m glad that Chanel kept her scent- and flavor-free.

I like the way Star looks all by her lonesome as a low-maintenance gloss, but I think she also works well layered atop plum and pink lipsticks, too.

Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: Chanel Glossimer fans and girls who don’t mind having to reapply often might flip for Star’s blinged-out glitter and subtle color, but this gloss, being from the House of Chanel, comes at a steep $27 price. Available at the Chanel SoHo store and Chanel.com. Grade: B

  2. For some reason, I look at it and think “magic”. Must be in a fairy godmother, wand-twinkling kind of way. I’m sort of glad I’m maxed out on glosses because it’s lovely, but pricey! 🙂

      • No, I haven’t, but I have a feeling that they’re luxurious! 🙂

        All their make-up looks beautiful and it’s Chanel so I don’t think they can afford to skimp on quality. 🙂 When I make it to Sephora again, I want to check out the glosses and shadows.

    • Good question! There’s been a lot of good stuff, so my favorite color changes practically every day. Right now I’m really liking Chanel Stunt, a creamy plum. I’ll post pics and a review soon. 🙂

      How ’bout you?

  8. So pretty! I want several things from this collection and the Glossimer tops my list! Do you think it’s more sticky than other Glossimers? I don’t do sticky glosses. Gotta have my smooth glosses, even if I have to apply them a million times a day. The Glossimer looks so pretty on you! Thanks for sharing!

  9. gorgeous gloss, don’t think I could bring myself to fork out $27 for it tho… I’d rather spend that on the UD pp package with the minis it feels like more bang for my buck! 🙂

  11. Love this! Thanks for the great swatch. I always like seeing the lip color on the full face and it looks amazing with your skin tone. Out to buy it now!

  18. Love it! Thank you. I look forward to seeing Stunt on you too. I was going to pass on Star before I saw it here. So you say you had to reapply the Glossimer? I find that they are the only glosses I never have to reapply. Maybe it is the color?
