Meet my latest lip product obsession: Chantecaille Lip Chic.
Really, it’s more of a revived obsession, since I cycle through lip products like whoa and I already went through a Lip Chic phase a few years back, but the point is, I have been buying up all the Lip Chics lately. One for every day of the week.
The shades are so gorgeous that I can’t help myself.

Lip Chic wears comfortably and doesn’t dry out my lips. The texture is somewhere between a lipstick and a tinted balm, with an impressive color pay-off and good staying power, leaving behind a bit of a stain as it fades. It is scented with a lovely hint of vanilla and has a glossy finish.
The color is buildable and you can easily thin it out a bit with a dab of lip balm over or underneath.
Packaged in a sleek, gunmetal, slant-tipped tube, Lip Chic is easily portable and looks super stylish when you pull it out of your bag for a quick touch-up.
My only complaint is that you have to be careful when reapplying or you risk having the color bleed around your lip line. I find that it’s best to wipe your lips clean before reapplying and start from scratch to avoid ending up with a messy, smudgy look.
That is a price I am willing to pay, however, since Chantecaille has some of the most beautiful lip shades on the market. Heirloom, a medium wine shade, is my go-to because it looks good with literally everything, but honestly, all of the shades I have are super-flattering and easy for me to wear, and that is quite a feat. I can’t tell you how many barely-used lipsticks are collecting dust in my collection because they are gorgeous in the tube but not so much on me.
I have yet to find a Lip Chic shade that disappoints me. I cannot get enough of these.
