Same for the equivalent of the creemsheen lipglass... just go and get an Aqualumiere from Chanel. More product better quality better price, try it.

I love Chanel Glossimers!! One of my faves is Cry Baby. I have 2 of those, plus two of the matching polishes. I have a bunch of Chanel polishes...they're so yummy!!

I second Glaze Glossimer! It's basically clear gloss, but its purple tinged with a really yummy smell. The other night I had it on and it felt really smooth and nice. Then I wiped it off and put on a MAC lipglass and in comparison it felt so sticky!

I love MAC, but lets face it Chanel Glossimers kick ass. And cause people bladder disfunction.

It leads to me obsessively turning my dazzleglasses like hot dogs on a grill anytime I open my lipglass storage drawer so I don't have to look at that bubble!

i know what you mean! i look at my d/gs after a couple of uses each at most (and i apply a really thin layer too), and looking at the giant air bubbles make me so sad.. i usually have them on my desk bc i like looking at all the sparkle, and my bf always laughs at me bc im always rolling them to the other side so i can see less air bubble and more dazzle

im gonna try the reflects thing soon though, as soon as they restock some of the reflects at my Pro store. Sugarrimmed would be kind of hard to try duping tho.. i dont even know what id mix for that?? Transparent Pink and Teal maybe? Although the glitters always looked more blue than teal to me.....

Hmm also for another dazzleglass substitution, try out YSL Golden Gloss. It's almost the same, but WAY better. I love them! Not nearly as sticky as dazzleglass, and a larger amount of product!! They have 0.2 oz as oppose to 0.06 for dazzleglass. Golden Gloss are 29$ but I'd rather pay that.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

yeah the dazzleglasses are really expensive. This is why I only bought two each time they got released.

It seems like I need some Chanel Glossimers in my life though. Does anyone know how much they are in CAD$?

We did. Viva Glam VI SE Remix Hyper Combo Finish Complete Edition X Version HD String Exclusive is the bomb.

And I'm pretty sure that the Dazzleglasses are measured by how much glitter is put into them, not by how full the vial is. Sucks but yeah. And it's proven that there's literally LESS than a standard Lipglass amount in there. IT'S DUMB!

i remeber the dazzleglasses last year were only $16 and they had more product in them.

They know that Dazzleglasses and Mineralize Skinfinishes are collectible-enough to justify the price increases. It's dumb. e_e

Is that the name of your creation? LOL....I got dizzy just reading that.

My trainer says the Dazzleglasses have less product in them because the ingredients are rare, hard to find, and expensive. Therefore, they are also more costly due to the fact that they're considered a luxury product.

It's funny how Chanel can sell the same thing for less than half the price. And I know, trainers have to say that, to sell the product. It's fortunate there are other alternatives to the Dazzleglasses now.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I should create my own dazzleglass soon since I have both Reflects Very Pink and Reflects Blue glitter pigments and aiming for Reflects Purple Duo so that I can create a dupe dazzleglass of Comet Blue.

 

[exoticarbcqen]

dazzleglasses are only pretty in the container, once they go on..all it is a sticky glittery gunk IMO.

 

[n_c]

Boy am I glad i didn't get into these.

How much does Chanel sell them for?
And btw, I completely agree with you. It is ridiculous.
It's just another case of having to write to MAC and complain. Trust me, they listen. And if enough ppl complain, the product will become so much better, and who knows, the price might decrease.

Yes, my new Smile and Goldyrocks have these air bubbles as well. You can see my pics in the swatch thread.

But I love Dazzlaglasses, so I don't complain

 

[contrabassoon]

Dazzleglasses are a rip-off for sure.
$20 bucks for that minute amount? I don't think so!

As for the HK l/g, I noticed it had less amount of product too.
