Dior Addict Fluid Stick: their newest hybrid adventure

Yep, that’s right, Dior have successfully stolen our hearts again. With the newest edition to their already beautiful gene pool of a family, the fluid stick takes the main stage. This hybrid product combines the best aspects of a lipstick, gloss and lacquer to make one ultimate, amazing and we-just-can’t-love-it-enough lip product.

The packaging deceives you from the start, with the appearance of a lipstick you are preparing yourself for another run-of-the-mill product, giving your lips another day of non-luxury. However, Dior do not disappoint; upon opening, the tear-shaped foam applicator excites the lips, giving the perfect application for everyone.

It goes on without being sticky, but remains smooth as a lipstick would, however it maintains a lightweight feel of a gloss, and most importantly packs a punch of colour with its highly pigmented nature. It doesn’t contain wax, meaning it won’t be weighed down on your mouth, even giving a light-as-air look to others; in fact it is actually formulated with water. It even manages to tick the moisturising box, something that many have tried and failed to do.

This product is sold in four main colours, being Pandore, a “pure, radiant, flamboyant red”; Wonderland, a “bold fuchsia”; Aventure, an “electrifying coral” and Mirage, a “beige with a hint of pink”. These main colours form the staples of the collection, with hopefully as many colours as the rest of their products to come in this collection yet.

This immediate rich shine and colour-popping quality is rare in a lip product that has staying power and doesn’t break the bank. Oh my Dior. You’ve done it again.
