Chanel lipstick for my friend. Chemo ‘sending strength’ present

[GirlwithKaleidoscopeHair]

My lovely friend started the first of 16 Chemo sessions (for BC) today. She has resolved to ‘dress up’ for each one. I would go with her if I was allowed ( and match her on the dress stakes).

Anyway I had a whim that I would send her a Chanel lipstick as a solidarity and strength talisman! It would have to be Chanel wouldn’t it? Icon status. Anyway I just looked and £45!!!!

Any colour suggestions and cheaper place to buy or (gasp) alternative brand- but I just don’t think it would have the same feeling..

am I being mad/inappropriate? What do you think?

oh, she is fair-ish and has very tightly curly hair (which she may shave off imminently)

I want to make her smile

I have a couple of these www.chanel.com/gb/makeup/p/171920/rouge-coco-baume-a-hydrating-tinted-lip-balm-that-offers-buildable-colour-for-better-looking-lips-day-after-day/
They have a good strong colour that you can build up (dont be fooled by 'balm' description), super moisturising which could be useful with the chemo.

Sorry missed your update, she will appreciate it I'm sure.

What about a designer nail varnish instead or as well? I'm sure I've read on here that dark nail varnish is good at protecting the nails during chemo .

@Oceanus thank you 😊
