Rouge à lèvres vintage 2003 Chanel Sweet Sixteen édition limitée - Swatch collection endommagé

The lipstick has swatch damage, but has been sterilized with pure ethyl alcohol. Please see the photos for the damage. It also has taken on that waxy, crayon-ish scent from the waxes aging. I dont think the original owner stored this well. However, its still good for color comparison, display, etc. I cant advise using it.

This is an extraordinarily rare full size lipstick. (Ive actually been searching for the other lipsticks and glosses in the series for at least 10 years.) There were two versions of Sweet Sixteen released as limited editions and available only for one single season in 2003, both as lipsticks and glosses. One was an opaque soft candy pink with neutral-cool shimmer (the original) , and then this one, which is a paler neutral with soft pink tones and an iridescent sheer finish. I am the second owner, to my knowledge, and have not used it - I only swatched it for color comparisons. The tone of this one is very very slightly more pink than the photos show.

It does not have any absorbed odors from heavy perfume, mold gas, mothballs, etc. The tube still extends properly and the cap stays on securely.

The plastic tube itself has storage/shelf wear, but still displays beautifully. The logo and sticker are still in tact and the tube is the iridescent gunmetal of the early iridescent lipstick tubes.

Please ask if you have collection any questions.
