Beak & Claws: A Review of Chantecaille Tourmaline Lip Cristal


Chantecaille e have created three limited edition Lip Cristals as part of their 2019  Polar Ice Collection. Inspired by the Aurora Borealis and the icy glow of the glacial ice, the colour palate for this collection is vivid and sparkling. I chose the Lip Cristal in Tourmaline (£42) a sparkly vibrant lipstick in a pinky/ bluish hue. Chantecaille will be planting a tree in Kenya for every sale of the Lip Cristals in an attempt to help offset the effects of climate change.     

The bullet case is white with a polar bear embossed on it. The case is quite weighty and there is a satisfying click when the lid is popped back on.  Despite the crystalline shimmer the lipstick is smooth to apply and does not feel gritty on the lips. The lipstick leaves a metallic opaque wash of colour on the lips which lasts for several hours, leaving the lips glossy but not feeling greasy. The formula is lightweight and doesn’t transfer. 

Chantecaille aille lip products are expensive but I enjoy using them as they are free from parabens and phthalates and Chantecaille is a cruelty free, philanthropic brand.  

I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own.
