Jeez, I feel like I haven't done one of these in AGES...my bad ya'll!
So in case you've forgotten (haha) this is where I review my faves (and not so fave) lip glosses/lipsticks/lip products.
Today under the spotlight is Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect in Fuchsia Poplin 577.
above: Fuschia Poplin
Ok so I've always heard about this gloss but it wasn't up until I saw my co-worker with this perfect shade of pink that I ventured out and tried it.
**I have this major obsession with pink lippies...pink is my red***
via Sephora:
What it is:
An ultra-shimmering reformulation of Dior's cult-favorite, Dior Addict lip gloss.
What it is formulated to do:
What I think:
OHMIGOD!!! This is perfect or girls who want a gloss that doesn't stick to you like MAC lipglass. It's definitely not as thick as my L'Oreal Infallible, which in a way is good because my Infallible can get a bit annoying because of the stick factor. This gloss, however, goes on smooth (I'm assuming because of the "water-like formula"..) and it does not lie about the shine. This gloss is moisturizing and soft
What I don't like is the glitter. I could do without glitter. My lips are already big (some say full...I say big. You say potato...I say poh-tah-toe..haha) I feel that the glitter just adds extra-ness. It's not full on chunks of glitter it's more of a shimmer but again...extraness. I am strictly no glitter kinda gal. It would make a good going out at night gloss because than I feel I need that extra POW..but for everyday application it's a bit much especially for the pink color. Maybe if I tried a different color (something a little less vibrant..a caramel color maybe...) it would have been great. The pink is a berry pink and is nothing like a Barbie pink (which is what I'm looking for). The color is a bit toned down from the Sephora swatch above but keep in mind that I am dark skinned and my lips are two toned (unfortunately, my top lip is darker so often at times colors change on me).
Verdict: This gloss is amazing in my book in terms of consistency and I like the fact that it's not too thick yet it isn't watery and runny. If you don't mind a bit of a shimmer than by all means...enjoy because the shimmer doesn't hit you in the face (in other words there's no Bonnebell, Smackers effect) but if you're anti shimmer I suggest you just go with the Dior Addict Plastic Gloss (available at Nordstrom). It has the same texture and everything minus shimmer.
Rating: B+
Have you tried it? Like it? Love it? Am I crazy/buggin?

Lips go high-tech with shimmering, multi-dimensional reflective pigments that deliver mega-watt shine and color that lasts for hours. The innovative, "water-like" formula goes on smooth and fast with a silky brush applicator that keeps you in perfect control.
