When I first laid eyes on Peach Serum #650 – the new colour in the Dior Serum de Rouge range of lipsticks, I was a little puzzled. You would be too once you see the colour in the picture – as close to the real thing as I could manage to get it.
I found myself wondering if someone had somehow played an April Fool’s joke on me by labeling this colour “Peach Serum” so I did a quick online check. Yes indeed. #650 is called Peach Serum, one of the new colours available in the Dior Serum de Rouge line of lip treatment lipsticks.
If you are wondering how “peach” Peach Serum is, my answer is “Not at all peach!” Peach Serum, despite its name is a very soft pink which I was initially scared of which was silly of me because its so gorgeous once I slicked it on!
On my lips, Peach Serum looks pretty much as it does in the tube. A soft rosy pink. The fact that the lip swatch looks as it does in the tube tells you that its pigmented which I love.
The picture shows it swatched just once. This is a colour you can easily wear everyday of the year night or day without raising eyebrows.
Like the other Serum de Rouge lipsticks in the line, the texture is light, the colour is pigmented, it is non drying, it has SPF20 and its just all round wonderful. But then I already love these lipsticks so I’m biased 😛
Peach Serum joins my collection of Crimson Serum, Raspberry Serum and Coral Serum (which incidentally is more peach than Peach Serum is!). Happy is me 🙂
Like the other Dior Serum de Rouge lipsticks, Peach Serum retails at RM109 at all Dior counters along with a whole new bunch of colours! I’m glad Dior is expanding the colour selection for Serum de Rouge. They know they are onto a winner!
Pros: Light texture, Pigmented, Beautiful colour
Cons: Colour is not peach 😛
If you missed my earlier review on the Dior Serum de Rouge lipsticks or are wondering why I’m so hyped up about them, you can read something more in-depth here 🙂
And no despite the title of my post, you won’t get any April’s Fool jokes here. But did you and will you play an April’s Fool joke on someone today? 🙂

Update: Other new colours in the Dior Rouge de Serum range are 860 Violet Serum and 660 Garnet Serum. Garnet Serum sounds pretty!

April 1, 2010 at 9:08 amThat’s a GREAT colour on you! I’ve still managed to hold out from not buying anything. *pats self*
I’m on super high alert today because I’m wired to be a paranoid freak. A bunch of the more playful ones are here in my building today and I’m EXTRA PARANOID. I also found a fart balloon on my chair this morning after I hopped off to get coffee.
Did you prank anyone?
ParisB says
April 1, 2010 at 11:23 amMight this be the colour that breaks that resolve? 😉 Wait till you come back la! I’m not pranking anyone but the Fates pulled lots of pranks on me!

April 1, 2010 at 10:32 amEeek, so pretty! But its not peachy at all, so I wonder if the person who named it has some color-blindness… 😛
Happy April Fool’s Day, PB, and no, I won’t be pranking anyone today and I hope that no one pranks me! 😛
ParisB says
April 1, 2010 at 11:24 amHaha maybe they mean the pink flush on the skin of a peach? Who knows eh? 🙂

ParisB says
April 1, 2010 at 11:25 amYou’re absolutely right! Hit them when they aren’t looking LOL… and for me serum de rouge is worth saving up for. Serious!

April 1, 2010 at 9:58 pmI’m eyeing on the nude (though more MLBB for me) one though. hee hee
ParisB says
April 2, 2010 at 9:47 amYou would! 😀 Though truth to tell the Nude Serum is getting my attention because I think it might work for me. Maybe next one? 🙂

April 1, 2010 at 7:57 pmThis is a random question. How do you swatch/test the lip color at their counters? Do you use a cotton bud to test the color on your lips or what? My worst fear is getting weird looks for doing funny stuff on testers. XP
ParisB says
April 1, 2010 at 9:43 pmMy answer: I don’t. I don’t take testers anywhere near my lips if I can help it so although the back of the hand isn’t the best place to test lipsticks, that’s where I do it. If you’d like to test it on your lips, request for a cotton bud and swipe it on. Do not reuse or reswipe the lipstick. Most department store counters will know how to let you test a lipstick on your lips if you want to. At the drugstore or pharmacy, don’t. You don’t know where the testers have been!

April 2, 2010 at 9:02 pmThanks! Now I should attack those store counters! =D
