So many glosses, so little time! It's hard to decide which of the season's beautiful new glosses to get! I totally missed the train when everyone jumped for YSL Glossy Stains, so this spring I made sure to get a piece of the action. Over the last week I've road tested two colors each of Dior Addict Fluid Sticks and Lancome Lip Lover for full-day wear tests, paying attention to texture, ease of use (is it high maintenance or not), and general wear and tear.
Dior Addict Fluid Stick
- has unique gel feeling when first applied -- cool factor!
- seems to "set" on my lips similar to Lancome La Laque Fever Gloss but still transfers to cups, etc
- doesn't dry my lips out
- super duper pigmentation
- lasts a couple hours or so
- color is long lasting and stains a bit
- color tends to migrate outside my lip lines, probably needs a lip liner
Lancome Lip Lover
- feels more like a traditional gloss, but a super luxe one
- think it's more moisturizing than Dior
- lasts a couple hours or so
- Beige Adage and Framboise Etoile are plenty pigmented, but other shades may be less so
- some shades are more sparkly than others
- color is long lasting
- more comfortable for dry, chapped lips
The Diors are mislabelled in the pic, sorry! Left is Mirage, the pinker one to the right is Rieuse.
Great swatches! I think both are great additions to my collection. For both being a hybrid type of lip product, they're very different.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn! :) I agree, they're both great, I wonder if the two companies colluded to make sure they don't overlap on colors too much, LOL!
DeleteGreat swatches! I've been eyeing the Dior fluid sticks for a while, I'll be getting a sample soon to see how they feel.
