The Chisel

4.5 • 2 Reviews

Pleasantly surprised! This lip balm is decadent! It feels so thick and smooth, with a large metal tip applicator, it’s very plush on the lips! I love the smell and flavor, as well as the variety of shades offered. I was equally as pleased to get a free chisel with my purchase, which is heavy duty and high quality! You won’t regret trying Le ChouChou!

EDIT: I stand by the rest of my review, but the applicator part for one of my older tubes broke off as I was recapping it (see photo). I wasn’t twisting hard or putting a lot of force into it…it’s just a lipgloss. And a tube I bought at the same time and have used more is perfectly fine. I emailed customer service about it, got a response within an hour, and they already processed sending me a complimentary new lipgloss (I didn’t even ask for one). A+ service, and I’m assuming this is a fluke issue. After trying lip product after lip product and coming out with lips drier than before I used them, I’m always skeptical about peoples’ claims that XYZ lip product is SO hydrating and softening. But Le Chouchou honestly changed the game for me. Besides one specific Vaseline product, Eadem’s lip glosses is the only lip product I’ve used that actually leaves my lips softer than before without the revenge dryness that you get from other products. And since I would get dry lips if I didn’t use anything at all, I’m happy I found this. The colors are really nice and buildable. The consistency is a slightly sticky one - it doesn’t dry down really until you need to reapply for color purposes. I got Burnt Malai and Bissap Glaze (the shade in my photo) last year off an influencer rec, and Bissap became my immediate go-to given my coloring (burnt malai was a bit warm for me). But since they’re now at Sephora, I went there first to see the colors before ordering off Eadem’s website for the Thingdrop. This time, I got a backup Bissap and the fig, clear, and guava shades. I debated getting their limited chocolate croissant one (smells great!) but I don’t often do brown lip shades and decided against it. They’re missing a red shade but otherwise have the main colors. Eadem was also having a promo, so the Chisel was included in my purchase. I’m not a gua sha person, so I need to do some reading to make sure I’m doing it properly and not pressing too hard in the wrong spots (Eadem could def add more guidance online). But the Chisel feels good quality - weighty and sturdy. I wouldn’t have paid full price for it, but it’s nice!
