Dior Diorkiss (578) Dior Addict Lipstick

Dior Dior Addict Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) was recently reformulated and relaunched for fall with a large variety of shades. I bought three to try, which are reviewed below. The updated formula is supposed to have “intense color” with a “long-lasting top coat” for greater shine and longer wear. I can only speak based on the three I tried, but the coverage is more semi-sheer to semi-opaque, lightweight and a little clingy, with natural shine. They wear three to four hours and are lightly hydrating. I was surprised to discover that they were unscented (and also had no taste), as I associate Dior lip products as usually being perfumed. The texture is more balm-like, and they soften as they melt against the warmth of the lips, but they never really drag or tug, even initially. I actually quite liked them as a lip product, but I was completely surprised that they weren’t marketed as more buildable/medium-coverage products, so if you like your lip color sheerer, you may like these, but if you were drawn in by the promise of intense or “high-impact” color, I’d look elsewhere.

Dior Diorkiss (578) Dior Addict Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft, medium rosy pink with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-sheer color payoff that went on fairly evenly and smoothly, but it was nowhere near “intense” in coverage. The color lasted for three hours on me and was lightly hydrating.

Dior Fashion Night (881) Dior Addict Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft, medium-dark berry pink with lighter fuchsia and violet pearl. It had semi-sheer color coverage that went on evenly and smoothly with a light shine. There was subtle shimmer that was fine and never felt gritty, but it was still noticeable on. The color lasted for four hours on me, and it was moderately hydrating while worn. Colour Pop Tiger (P, $5.00) is less shimmery, lighter, brighter (90% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Cabaret (146) (LE, $30.00) is less shimmery, lighter, more pigmented (90% similar). Estee Lauder Intriguing (P, $30.00) is less shimmery, warmer, less glossy (90% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Alasdhair (LE, $32.00) is more shimmery, darker, more pigmented (85% similar). Gucci Beauty Bitter Grape (P, $39.00) is darker, more pigmented (85% similar).

Dior Be Dior (976) Dior Addict Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, pinky-red with very subtle, fine fuchsia pearl. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that noticeably tinted the lips but allowed a lot of the natural lip color to come through. The shimmer is subtle, as is the shine. On me, this lasted for four hours, but the shine was gone after two hours, so this ended up looking more like a soft stain. Colour Pop Peacocky (P, $5.00) is darker, cooler, less glossy (95% similar). Chanel Etienne (446) (P, $36.00) is warmer (95% similar). Chanel Suspense (P, $35.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (90% similar). Revlon Sorbet (P, $7.49) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). Guerlain Illusion (660) (LE, $37.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Revlon Whimsical (115) (P, $8.99) is lighter, brighter, glossier (85% similar). Revlon Flirtatious (125) (P, $8.99) is brighter, glossier (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
