This palette is similar to Lumiere Tendresse only it is more brown. I normally don’t reach for it because it looks too brown to me, but then this morning the blush surprised me because it looks peach on. It has quite a bit of shimmer in it. It goes to show I should wear it more often to be more familiar with it.
In this palette, the right side has darker colors; the left has lighter. The brown in the left looks quite similar to the brown in LT.
I’m not real crazy about how much red pulls in the brown. I prefer a more taupe brown, the way it shows on the eye to your left.
I worked with the right side of the palette with the exception of using a bit of the shimmery gloss from the left.
Eyes:
Base: Trish McEvoy Eye Base Essentials — very light beige, followed by my shadow mix
Lids: Peach
Crease and outer edges: Medium Brown
Brows: La Prairie pencil
Mascara: Guerlain Le 2 Black
Lined upper with MAC graphblack
Lined lower with MAC graphblack, followed by earthline below that
Drylined top and lower with medium brown from the palette.
Face:
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation: Revlon Age Defying Spa Fair (free during the rebate at Walgreens)
The brush applicator is very nice. I use my fingers to blend. It can be closed off.
Powder: my sparkly mix followed by Chanel Roselight
Concealer: Mary Kay #2
Blush: from palette
Lips:
I notice the longer this is on, the better it looks. It needs to meld, evidently.
Mostly from right side of the palette, with some of the left gloss which is shimmery over the right gloss, which is not.
Sally Hansen invisible liner on the outside (on sale this week at CVS.) Works good!
It looks striking, as most Chanel does, when it is done, but while I am doing it, I am questioning why I chose to use it! I need to remember that with these palettes.

Yes, Chanel lippies are expensive — but in this case I think you get what you pay for. At one time they had them coded for color families, but I don’t think they do that any more.
The plus side
Chanel colors are fab.
They have an inward glow that most lines do not have. Occasionally a Lancome or an Estee Lauder color will approach Chanel’s look, but the colors are never so fashion forward.
Vamp, a deep almost black burgundy, was probably their all time fave color in both lippie and nail polish. They were the first to have a color like this. Did they sell more of this than any other?
Moisturizing They are nicely emollient.
~~~~~~~~~~
The negative Many of the lippies do not hold up over time.
They tend to get dry and sticky.
For the price, they should hold up forever — other lines do.
Soft Mink especially has changed texture, scent, and taste more than once. But it is a fab, fab color, featured in Allure a number of years ago, when Kevyn Aucoin did the makeup. (Bloomies still has it.)
New Replacement Tube
In RL without the flash, it’s a little deeper, but it feels dry. Maybe because I usually wear some gloss.
Do you wear it?
To be fair, I was able to exchange it for a fresh one at no cost. Because it is such an interesting color, it is one I only use occasionally during one season, so it was easy to see it should be a fresh tube.
~~~~~~~~~~
How to fix the negative
The MUA at Bloomies told me the lippies change because of the rose scent. (However, I don’t notice this with perfumes that have rose in them.) And I only notice a few colors do this. I wish I understood what ingredient because I would not buy that particular color again.
She showed me how to take a sharp blade and cut off just the teensiest part of the lippie. Underneath the dried out part is fresh lipstick that applies easily.
It might not work for all of them, but if it works, it is a good solution.
Update: I needed to replace the Soft Mink. While the feel was softer, it had a dreadful taste and smell. The new one has no distinctive taste or smell, just soft rose lippie.

Here are some colors:
Lumiere Naturelle Palette
Right side of palette
Sally Hansen invisible liner on the outside. Works good!
I notice the longer this is on, the better it looks. It needs to meld, evidently.
Mostly from right side of the palette, with some of the left gloss which is shimmery over the right gloss, which is not.
Left side of the palette
I like this color better than the color on the right for me.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lumiere Tendresse Palette
Right side of the palette using Beauté technique (in reverse).
Entire lip with the plain apricot first (this looks pink-apricot),
Rimmed with the sparkly gloss on the right.
It was very pretty.
Go here to see the technique in detail.
Left side of palette
Entire lip with the plain salmon first (this is brownish),
Rimmed and in middle with the sparkly gloss (light white-beige).
This might have vamped up the color, because by the time I added this, I really liked it.
I will update this post as I wear more lippies. Keep checking back.
What do you think?
Do you have any Chanel lippies? Do you like them? What is your favorite color(s)?

5 ++ for color
3 for $$$
2 because the texture, taste and scent changes on many of them and you don’t know which until it happens
