The Dior summer 2015 Collection Dior Addict Lipsticks ($33 each, available in four shades) are aptly named.
Because they are deliciously addictive.

I typically like to swap out the lip products I keep in my purse every few days (’cause I crave variety), but the two Dior Addicts I’m wearing here are the only two lipsticks I’ve carried around consistently this past month.
Two of four Dior Addict Lipsticks in the Dior summer 2015 tie dye Collection, they’re available now at Dior counters and online. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between 001 Red Bliss and 005 Fuchsia Utopia (the others are 002 Coral trip and 006 nude Fever).

“Dior Addict is back this summer with a brand new two-tone version: four fresh and bright shades featuring the emblematic Dior logo in a contrasting colour at the center. In a single sweep, shades and textures intertwine to recreate a subtle tie dye effect on the lips.”

Like Tootsie Pops, each of these lipsticks has a surprise inside. There are two colors within each bullet, and they mix together as you slick one across your lips.

Why am I addicted to Dior Addict? let me count the ways…
The fantastic formula… It’s amazing just how moisturizing these are considering the lightweight formula. Within a couple hours of applying either of these shades my typically dry lips feel less like cheese graters. like the Zella sweatpants of sheer lipsticks, they feel fantastic! The smooth, practically weightless formula feels practically like a silky lip balm or a luxurious lip butter.
Extremely user-friendly… I typically apply them directly from the tube without a mirror. You have a lot of leeway with these because they’re sheer, and if you take one a little beyond the edge of your lips, no big deal. I typically reapply after meals, or every two hours, and I actually look forward to the feel of these gliding across my lips. The light vanilla flavor and scent is yummy, too.
Sheer, but not too sheer… in some cases with sheer lipsticks, if you have pigmented lips like I do, your natural lip color overpowers the pigment, and it can look like you aren’t wearing anything at all. That’s completely not the case with these Dior Addict Lipsticks. They include a healthy serving of pigment, and the colors apply evenly and smoothly. I’d call them medium coverage.
For me, these are best up there with the top performers in the medium-coverage lipstick category alongside the fantastic $20 MAC Huggable Lip Colours, which look similar but have a slightly thicker formula, and the incredible $50 Tom Ford Lip color Sheers, which are a smidgen much more pigmented but waaay much more expensive.

By no implies are these exactly budget, ’cause hello! — they’re Dior — but for medium-coverage high-end lipsticks, I think they’re absolutely perfect.

Pair one of these with a sunny golden brown smokey eye if you’re in the mood for a bold eyes/nude lips combo, or use one as your weekend brunch color like I do. Slick a little on your lips, then add your minimal makeup essentials — a BB cream, under-eye concealer, mascara and a touch of cream blush. throw your hair up into a fun bun, then add hoops, a white tee and your cutest cut offs.
