As I've written many times, Lip Chic is a hybrid lipstick that combines the high shine and plumping effects of a gloss with the rich, even coverage of a lipstick. It applies with an incredibly soft, lightweight texture as it helps to smooth and firm the lips.
This exceptionally comfortable formula is easy to apply in an even finish that is shiny but never sticky - it's hydrating. Lip Chic leaves lips decidedly more youthful in appearance.
I love Lip Cheek, so I was thrilled that I could select from two new shades. I saw them at the counter at Neiman Marcus and decided I had to have both. I suspect any sheer lipstick lover will have a dilemma choosing only one. There are four Lip Chics on the spring display, so make sure you are looking for these two, not the other pretty re-promotes shown with them.
I made a bit of a mistake before I photographed them. I had applied a body moisturizer all over my arms before I remembered that I needed a surface to which they would adhere. As a result, the color on my arms looks a bit uneven. Blame that on me, not the lipsticks.
Primrose, combined with my natural lip pigmentation, looks like a light, cool-toned pink on me. A touch of blue brings out the blue in my eyes. Wild Rose will be the favorite for everyone looking for more pigmented color. It's also a cool tone - a kiss-me pink.
There is a darker photo below. It shows how the colors look with a stark white background. I love the shine - the only reason I included this map of my veins.

Hi! Ive been waiting for you to review these colors. I ran out of patience and ordered the Bees Palette, lip chics in Wild Rose and Amour instead of Primrose (love them!) But Im wondering if I need Primrose too. How does Amour compare to Primrose side by side??
NM Event starts today online! Have already placed an order and can't wait to receive that pretty pink (you get to choose) bag with goodies.
When I had my makeover with the bee palette the artist pulled Magnolia (a repromote) for me and I loved it! Primrose had too much white in it for my NC20 skin. Wild rose was pretty. But there was something about the contrast of the sheerly washed colors of the bee palette with a saturated spring lip color that really worked for me.
I love them both! These are really the only lipsticks that I wear on a regular basis due to my dry lips. Thank you so much for sharing!
It's hard to tell from the swatch, but how much different is Primrose from Camelia?
I like both. I'd wear the Wild Rose more. I have Bourbon Rose and I enjoy wearing it. I used it with my Discrete lip definer.
I thnk I need Wild Rose in my life, but after doing a bit of preliminary research, I don't know if there's a store nearby that sells Chantecaille (I recently moved to Zürich, but neither Globus nor Jelmoli lists the brand on their web sites). I may have to do some more exploring or just wait until my next trip abroad.
Thanks for sharing, CG. Enjoy the Lip Chics and stay warm!
Both are beautiful! Wild Rose reminds me of Guerlain's attrape coeur shade for spring! I can't wait to see Chanel's new lipstick shades!
