Are the New Sonia Kashuk Ultra Shine Sheer Lip Glosses Dupes for Chanel Aqualumiere Glossimers? - Makeup and Beauty Blog

If somebody blindfolded me, slicked the new Sonia Kashuk Ultra Smoothen Sheer Formula Lip Gloss ($ix) on my pucker then asked me to approximate which gloss I was wearing, I would gauge an expensive Glossimer from Chanel.

Beauty

Chanel Aqualumiere de ja vu/vu ja de

With its thin, not-stick formula that'due south both sense of taste- and fragrance-free, Sonia's new $9 gloss feels surprisingly like a $27 tube of Chanel Aqualumiere Glossimer.

And the similarities don't stop with the texture.

The rich (notwithstanding sheer) colors and glossy smoothen of Sonia's Ultra Shines also make them look like dead ringers for Aqualumieres.

Whisper

Elegant, applied tube

Tubes of Sonia's new gloss may non habiliment those vaunted Chanel double C'south, but I think they still look elegant in their sleek silvery cap. The tube is meaty and applied, also, fitting easily into my favorite Charabanc Wristlet with room to spare.

Are they hydrating?

Ultra Smooth has *a lot* going for it, but there is ane affair I'd change…

The formula isn't as hydrating as I'd similar, and afterwards reapplying and wearing for virtually half a solar day, my lips start to feel slightly dry. A hydrating lip balm worn beneath Ultra Shine should help to remedy the sitch, but in a perfect globe…

Sure, I wish Sonia'due south new Ultra Polish glosses were a little more moisturizing, just the price is correct. For a third the cost of Chanel Aqualumieres (for comparable quality), I think Sonia'southward new glosses *ultra shine*.

Lifestyles of the easily amused

I need some new hobbies…

Final night I spent at least an hr teasing playing with Tabs and his favorite black ribbon toy. My new favorite matter is blasting MJ'due south Working Mean solar day and Nighttime while I dangle it in front of his confront.

At that place'southward something incredibly amusing about seeing Tabs and his low-hanging tummy leap and lunge at things while MJ belts "Got me workin', workin' day and night!" in the background. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood dazzler addict,
