Dior Addict Lipstick

I love this lipstick...! I have been wearing the 797 Violet Spectral colour for over two years. The colour is a really classy red, strong without being garish. Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of strong colours; I wear proper screen-siren fire-engine red, and strong purples when I feel like it. I am 38 years old, have dark brown hair and black eyebrows and eyelashes, and my skin-tone is pale with a very slight sallow hint. The colour is incredibly flattering on me and I always feel fabulous when I wear it. It works well both as a day and night lipstick. It gives a wonderful finish, smells lovely and leaves my lips soft and moisturised. This ...  Read the complete review

I have the 857 positive red Dior addict lipstick. I love Dior make up and have many lip glosses, but i wanted a deeper shade with more intensity. I definately chose the right brand. All other lipsticks ive chosen either came off within the first ten minutes, made my lips feel slightly funny or just bled into my lips right away. Dior Addict is definately moisturising and long lasting! The colour is not only intense but has a glittery affect which gives that extra sparkle to your make up. I would most certainly buy more of the collection, its always nice to have different colours for all occasions. It may be slightly pricey however you only need to ...  Read the complete review

I was given this lipstick by my husband a while back and was stunned that he had paid £13.50 each (from Selfridges) for two 3.5g lipsticks, especially as I'd never used it before and he had randomly picked a colour that he thought I'd like. Lipstick is one of those things that you have to know what colour the wearer is going to like and when you're paying over £10 you need to make sure you're getting it right. Anyway, one of the shades he'd purchased for me was coded 797 - Violet Spectral (I'm not reviewing the other shade...), which looked nice enough so I decided to give it a try on a night out. ~*~APPLYING IT/DURABILITY~*~ Applying the ...  Read the complete review

I do love the colours of the Dior Addicts lipsticks. They are beautifully and bright and you can even get some proper red lip colour shades. I do love the packaging too, is really luxurious and looks really glamorous on the dressing table. I think I paid around £17 and it did not disappoint me at all. The lipstick glides on smoothly on the lips and is not over drying. But don't expect any miracle, a lipstick is a lipstick and if you don't apply it correctly and put some effort into it is going to feather over the lip area no matter what. The best way to apply that I found is as fallowing: -make sure your lips are gently scrubbed of dead skin ...  Read the complete review

I came across these lipsticks whilst browsing the at the Dior counter at House of Fraser. I've previously bought their Dior Addict lip gloss and was very pleased with how shiny and long lasting they were. These lipsticks come in similar tubes as the lip gloss and look classy and expensive. There are about 9/12 shades available and the lipsticks vary in finish. Some are frosted and some are sheer. There are also the plain but highly pigmented ones. The texture of these lipsticks are nice and creamy, apply smoothly onto lips and feel moist and soft for hours. One thing I'm slightly disappointed with is that these looked a lot glossier and shinier in ...  Read the complete review
