I got this lip gloss last weekend while I was moving across
the Chanel counter at Oasis Mall, Bangalore. The shade caught my eye and I
instantly went to the SA to try it out. I loved it so much that I immediately
bought it. I've been using it since then everyday and below goes the review.
I love the gorgeous sheer red color of this gloss, which
looks beautiful on my lips. The fine shimmer doesn't look OTT at all and gives
a lovely soft and shimmery finish to my lips.
The gloss comes with a sturdy glass packaging and a doe
foot applicator. The applicator gives an even finish to the application and
covers the lips properly.
I like the fact that this gloss doesn't smell or taste
anything.
It has a good staying power as compared to other glosses.
On my lips I've experienced its staying power to be 3-4 hours when I am not
eating or drinking anything.
I find this gloss to be pretty moisturizing and I don't
feel like wearing any lip balm beneath it.
It has a bit thick texture and feels somewhat sticky on
lips. I didn't like it initially but now I am ok with it.

My experience with
this lip gloss:
I am usually more of a lipstick person, but occasionally
love to try lipglosses as well. I don't have much lip glosses in my collection
because of the same reason. Braise is a gorgeous sheer red lip gloss with
ultra-fine shimmer in it. It gives a lovely sheer and shiny red-orange touch
to my medium pigmented lips. I've not experienced any smell or taste from it.
It is a bit stickier than the other lip glosses I've tried so far, and that
somehow guarantees its longer staying power than others (I guess). I've tried
wearing it on its own which works excellently for my daytime look. If worn over
a peach or light orange lipstick, this would definitely make a great statement.

Overall verdict:
This is one gorgeous shade that can be considered from
Chanel to go in your collectibles. I feel that it can suit both cool and warm
skintones. It can work amazingly on its own and can help you create various
different looks when paired with a lipstick. Overall, I love it!
