On current rotation: Dior Addict Lip Glow lip care

Lately it feels like I’ve done more than my share of lip swatches and as a result, I’ve needed to give my lips some major TLC. That’s where this trio of Dior Addict Lip Glow Care lovelies have come to the rescue to not only give me back some much-needed hydration (plus very gentle exfoliation), but to help get my pout back to optimum shape. A good thing too, as I have about ten bajillion more lip products to swatch …

Dior Addict Lip Glow lip care

001 Universal Pink Lip Glow Pomade Colour Reviver Instant Oil-Gel Care (CAN $41.00) | The cue here is in the name: from the French ‘pommade’ which means ‘ointment’, this is an intensive moisture treatment for the lips. Its unique new oil-gel texture is dispensed via a velvety flocked applicator which contains high levels of shea butter for long-lasting & deep nourishment. The universal pink shade (which also matches both the Lip Glow Liner and any of the Lip Glow Colour Awakening Balms) can be worn alone or under any lipstick for some extra pucker protection, although I prefer wearing it an night to let it thoroughly drench my lips with restorative moisture while I sleep. Gotta love a beauty product that does its work for you.

Lip Glow Liner Contour Colour Reviver & Filler, limited edition (CAN $36.00) | This is a barely there nude-rose lip liner that can be worn alone or with any other lip product, which can also provide a custom ‘filler’ effect. The angled bevelled tip makes it easy to work with whether used along its broader side to cover larger areas of the lip, or with the pointier tip in the event any precision work is needed, although why anyone would need precision from a relatively transparent product is beyond me (but I still felt like throwing that out there). I prefer using this as more of a ‘dam’ to help prevent darker lip shades from feathering out or bleeding into surrounding lip lines – works like a charm!

*To the best of my knowledge, this product is only showing availability at Sephora

EDIT: this is limited edition and exclusive to Sephora, so better get it while you can!

005 Lilac Lip Glow Colour Awakening Lipbalm (CAN $41.00) | Ever since trying my first Colour Awakening Balm a few years ago, I have been hooked and totally get why people stock up & hoard these limited edition lip saviours. A must-have at all Dior backstage shows, these act to not only prep the lips with soothing moisture, but will also enhance and bring out your natural lip colour by reacting to your unique chemistry via Dior’s Color Reviving technology. Wild Mango and Luffa Cylindrica in the formula add an extra protective and moisture boost as well. I personally absolutely love the faint lilac hue this shade gives my lips, and usually prefer wearing this solo for a hint of colour to go with all the other yummy good stuff it includes.

Being in this industry, I’m fortunate to have access to all the latest products that get released and while you can always find me testing a bagful of lip care products at any given time, I always come back to time-tested favourites such as the Colour Awakening Balm. The Pomade has been a steady and regular staple in my lip care routine since it arrived and while I may not need the Lip Glow Liner all that often, I like knowing that I have that option in the event of. Like with all those intense Fall & holiday hues that are everywhere right now …

Do let me know if you’ve tried any (or all) of these, as well as what your faves are!
