Dior Addict Fluid Stick

Dior Addict Fluid Stick is a new exciting lipgloss slash lipstick that’s launching as part of the permanent collection for Summer 2014.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick is available in 17 highly pigmented shades that I THINK you might love on.

Take a look!

Dior Addict Fluid Stick Lipstick

Although you might feel old hat to liquid lipstick I’m about to tell you that the Dior Addict Fluid Stick reinvents the formula. These have the formula of a gloss but not with as much shine or glossiness as one and the color of a lipstick.

Liquid lipstick for me is typically a thicker, creamy, velvety texture with a matte finish in most cases. I can think of quite a few liquid lipsticks I own that all have creamier textures. Dior creates a more smoother, glossiness texture with this new lipstick slash lipgloss formula. They aren’t sticky or tacky in anyway and have a full color payoff on a single swipe so you get an opaque finish very easily on these due to the great pigment. I don’t find them as thick as a traditional liquid lipstick and they wear considerably more lighter and comfortably than one. I did feel they settled into the natural lines of my lips but they do come with a very large sponge applicator (about twice the size of a traditional flocked sponge applicator) which allows you to easily go over them a few times for the smoothest finish. They aren’t dry on lips and they provide a little bit of moisture but not a ton. I did not detect a flavor or fragrance in the formula. Wear time is around three hours before they start fading but during that time they did not migrate or feather around my lips nor did they stain after they wore away completely. They have the high pigment of a lipstick formula and although the formula is like a gloss they do not have very much shine and produce more of a high sheen on lips. All the colors in the range are creams without any shimmer or sparkle.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick swatches

Each lipstick comes housed in a very large and long tube. They are a bit chubbier than a Dior Addict Lipgloss as well as a longer and the sponge applicator is quite large, even larger than the ones you on the MAC Wonder Woman Wonder Gloss. The upper part of the barrel is silver but the lower portion is clearly visible displaying the color perfectly.

I have to say the first time I tried them I wasn’t sure I liked them. They kinda had a very weird way of clinging to my lips. But the trick is to go over them a few times with the applicator to smooth out the colors. After that I kinda fell in love with them. They look very vibrant and beautiful on my lips and yes, even flawless when I take the time to properly apply.

Dior Addict Lipgloss is fabulous however, if you’ve wanted a bit more from the formula I think that’s where Dior Addict Fluid Stick steps up to bat. If you want more color from your gloss Dior Addict Fluid brings it with this exciting new formula.

It’s available now at dior.com, bloomingdales.com, and macys.com.

Tried them already?

    I have been dying to try these. Looks like I might have to make a little trip to the Dior counter.

  • Fancie

    The formula sounds lovely and I really like all of the colors. I definitely need to check these out soon!

  • Ashley

    Love the packaging of the product, only Dior product I own is the nail glow which is amazing. It leaves your nails super shiny for about a week and half. These are all great colors for spring/summer.

  • Christine Joy Luikuo

    When I first saw the photo, I thought it had both lipstick and lipgloss. Silly me!

    Hi Miss Muse! I am addicted to these new fluid sticks and I am really glad you reviewed them and like them too! I am impressed with the color range and how light yet pigmented they are – perfect for spring and summer when lipstick feels a bit too much on those hot days. I heard that a few of the colors are limited edition – do you know if this is really true and which colors they are? I heard Wonderland was one of them, but I’m hoping this is only in Asia and not the US.

  • Helena/LipGloss Bitch

    I have Pandore, a beautiful red that I love. Magique looks stunning!

    • Isabella Muse

      I saw your lip swatch of it Helena! Love it! 😀 need that one!

  • Joann

    Everytime I see a review about these fluid sticks, it makes me want them more and more!
    They’re really bright, so I’m trying to find one that is more appropriate for everyday wear.
    I’m liking 479 though. I will definitely have to these out these shades in stores.

    • Isabella Muse

      they are indeed Joann 😀 the colors are very vibrant! Do have a swatch in store and check them out, I’m positive you’ll find one to love 😀

  • Lizette

    That’s gorgeous indeed – the texture, the colors… I like the light finish. Most lipsticks make my lips very dry, but this is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

  • Majick

    I have to change the spelling of my screen name. LMAO! uh, and I need that color! (smooch)

  • Monica
