Dior Addict High Shine $26

This is the Dior Addict High Shine in #222 Casual Beige. Like all of the Dior High Shine lipcolors, this one goes on sheer and gives just a hint of color.


I used a flash here, so it's not quite this pink in real life.

The Verdict: A
I love this super moisturizing lipstick! As my lips have a naturally dark pigment to them, I have to choose lipcolors carefully or I'll end up looking like a little girl with lipstick smudged all over her face. Becuase of this, I have a tendency to lean towards sheer lipcolors for daily use. I love throwing this on for en everyday, casual look.


Swatch with no flash - see how sheer?

Dior Addict Lipcolor $26

So the only reason I got this lipstick was because of the Saks promotion that came with it. If you buy a Dior Addict Lipcolor from Saks, you get a complimentary Dior Diamond Lipstick case. I learned about this from my beaeuty guru Jen at http://www.abeautyfulsentiment.com/.

Here is what I ended up purchasing. The color is Rose Lingerie #323. I wanted something neutral that would blend into my skin since I like to do a lot of dark eye makeup. I was worried that this wouldn't show up because I have pigmented lips and even the most opaque of lipsticks disappear on me.

The Verdict
This lipstick is so moisturizing! I was thinking I'd need to apply a lipgloss on top of this, but I was completely wrong. Also the color actually did blend into my natural lip color but gives it a bit more definition and a bit of a rosy color so I have no complaints.

Freebie

Here it is - the Dior Diamond Lipstick Case. Isn't it fancy? Plus did you notice the sparkles? I lubs sparkles! The case has a mirror on the inside and is the perfect fit for the lipstick. I really like that there are little magnets on the sides of the case so that it gives a satisfying "snap" when you close it. Plus it's practical cause you don't want your lipstick rolling out of the case - what would be the point of putting it in a case in the first place?
