Dior Addict Lipstick in Backstage

Dior Addict was an impulsive buy that turned out better than expected! The Dior Addict formula claims to be a moisturising and sheer formula.

I have this in the shade Backstage which is a lovely cool toned violet pink with micro shimmer . It might look like a really scary and bold colour in the box but it actually looks very different when you put it on. I believe this will look different depending how pigmented your lips are. It is afterall a sheer lipstick. But the colour is really gorgeous. It also has a subtle blue tint when you view it. The shimmer is really fine and you can’t really see it unless you look closely.

This really does moisturise your lips an it gives a glossy finish too. Lips appear very smooth with no lines showing through. Overtime as it fades, its gloss does reduce and it looks dewy.

The only drawback I feel is that this does not wear for a long time. It stays on well for  3-4 hours and then starts to fade. I wish it were longer though. But with sheer lipsticks I guess it’s an accepted limitation.

The packaging as you might have noticed is simply gorgeous. I love the transparent case. it’s an expensive lipstick and if you’re looking for one in this range, Dior Addict is a good choice. Has a huge colour range as well.
