@niki172 No, but that can happen if you have an allergic or sensitivity reaction to something in the product. Could be a fragrance component or something else. I wish Chanel would go fragrance free with everything, personally, but especially their face products. I don’t use foundations with fragrance and even use their blushes sparingly for that reason.

[niki172]

@Winthrop44 it's weird I've never had a reaction to a Chanel product before (and I've tried many different things from them). Maybe I'll give it another try - I'd hate to just toss it.

[Winthrop44]

@niki172 Fragrance components, pigments, moisturizing ingredients, binders, etc., vary between lipstick lines and shades, even within a brand though. I can’t tolerate the regular Chantecaille lipsticks (they literally make me nauseous) but do fine with the Lip Chics and Lip Veils, for example.  Maybe the RC Baumes or even just that particular shade isn’t for you for whatever reason? Who knows. Hope it was just a fluke that day and you can get it to work for you. Fingers crossed!

[niki172]

@Winthrop44 I mean the only times I've experienced having dried out lips is from matte lipsticks/stains (which is why I try to stay away from them). This is really just an odd duck from Chanel. I'm sorry the Chantecaille make you ill I couldn't stand that. I may give it another whirl here in a few days.

@niki172 - Have you used this particular formula before?  I read the ingredients and didn't notice anything at first.  Then it dawned on me that it may be the shea butter.  I have a couple of SEPHORA COLLECTION Lip Sleeping Mask Strawberry that I use as lip balm throughout the day.  I noticed my lips becoming quite dry since I started using them.  There's nothing in the ingredients that should be a problem except they contain shea butter.  As much as I love shea butter in my hair conditioner and night time face moisturizer, it doesn't appear to get along with my lips.  So I'm thinking this could be the issue you're having as well.

[niki172]

@Titian06 no this was my first go around with the baumes (color fall for me - so pretty!). Your train of thought did make me go look at the 2 main tubed lip balms I use everyday ( fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm Translucent and Dionis Coconut Cream - I use this one at work and it's surprisingly good) and while the Fresh doesn't contain shea butter the Dionis does (I think it was the 4th ingredient on the list). That's higher up on the ingredients list than what Chanel lists for their Baumes, BUT they do list a couple of hydrating "chemicals" (IDK what to call these ingredients as honestly I'd never heard of them before) that I'm not sure if I've ever used something like that before. It did list a version of olive oil twice but that can't be it as olive oil is a component in my Italian blood 😂. 

It's a really good hypothesis and maybe I need to look at other lippies I have to see if they carry the same main ingredients. I plan on wearing it out again tonight (but putting a lip balm in my clutch just in case) and I guess we'll see what happens. It's not terribly terribly cold here so I'm not sure what it may be. Thank you so very much for your idea it's a really smart approach 🤗.

I wonder if it’s a bad lippie @niki172 ? Maybe it is if you’ve never had this before. I only have one of those but haven’t experienced that. I’m sorry you have. 😕

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom I've never tried this formula before from Chanel but as you know me I have quite a collection of Chanel lippies with no reactions like this. It doesn't smell "off" and this was my first time opening the tube. So weird - maybe I just need to sanitize it and send it to a new home - I know my coworker would love it lol! It just stinks because their tinted balms and I get along famously with every other lip product Chanel has made it's really weird.

[Sunnysmom]

Hmm 🤔 such a drag @niki172 . What a nice idea to pass it on tho. Or else maybe see if you could exchange it if not. I know you love your Chanel lippies! 🥰🤗

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom I am in a desert of people not really into makeup - send help! Kidding (kinda - can I come visit???) really the only 2 people that I can think of that may like and use it are my coworker or maybe my Mom. My sister in laws aren't really into makeup (one made such a lovely comment behind my back about how I always "go hard" when we go out. I'm sorry that I love glam especially since we were all going to a nice restaurant at night for my parent's anniversary 😶). I guess base, eyeshadow, blush, and a lippie is too much lol. Maybe the world would have gone nuts if I had added a bronzer or a lip liner too 🤣.

Sorry for the mini tangent - I'd be happy to send it to you if you'd like if it doesn't work out. At least I know it would get a good home and I wouldn't be just pitching it 💜.

[Sunnysmom]

Aww no no @niki172 we know I have plenty but thank you so much! Much better to give it to your co-worker there maybe or truly try and exchange it. They wouldn’t like you to have something that you are allergic to I’m sure. Such a bummer. Ha I hear you on your fellow non- makeup lovers ! My closest friends are not either and I just always say hey you can’t stop trying right?! I’m sure they appreciate your beauteous looks tho Niki and probably wish they could do it to your level of glam! 🥰 Oh and yes our malls are shops are wide open for you anytime! 🤗

[Sunnysmom]

Here is Tendresse. It’s def warm and pretty. At first I thought they were a bit more firm except the pink highlighter shade but I think it was because they were cold from the delivery as this am they feel softer. 

Inside and outside, a few swipes. 

[tsavorite]

@Sunnysmom ,

The swatches from this Quad are lovely on you!  Is the top photo of swatches the photo in natural light?  These are so attractive!  ❤️

[Sunnysmom]

They’re very pretty shades @tsavorite ! Yes the top 2. Tried to find decent light for them yesterday. Tricky. Lol 

[tsavorite]

@Sunnysmom ,

I really love these swatches the most in natural light!

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @tsavorite ! They are soft and blurring irl! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, it's here and oh my, that is gorgeous! I don't have a peach shade quite like that by Chanel and would love the berry shade, too. Let us know what you think about the shades when you've had time to play with the palette.

[Sunnysmom]

It is @TraceyEB ! I’ll keep you posted! It’s interesting as it’s warm but a neutral warm I think so it’s all very wearable. You too! I’m fighting the other one so hard. 😭

[Titian06]

These colors are a lot prettier than they looked in the other swatches, @Sunnysmom !  They're very pretty on you! 🥰  Neither palette is calling to me.  I still like the spring eyeshadow palette that should be released soon.

[Sunnysmom]

I think they’re pretty and subtle too @Titian06 . The new quad looks so good! I’m going to pass on it but I can’t wait to see yours if you get it. Hopefully it won’t sway me! 😊

[Winthrop44]

@Sunnysmom Thanks for the beautiful swatches. The shades all look really pretty on you. Will you use them on eyes, cheeks or both?
