Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss : Pearl, Flash and Glow your way to pouty lips

August 16, 2010 Paris B 19 Comments

Dior ultragloss lipgloss review

The new Dior Addict UltraGlosses come in 3 different styles, as it were.

  • Flash – Bright colours and sparkly!
  • Pearl – Bright shades with iridescent shine
  • Glow – Nude shades with light sparkles

Now I’m a huge fan of Dior Addict lipglosses. I have been for years and years and I’ve already gone through quite a few. But what I particularly like about the new formula, isn’t quite the formula per se, but the fact that Dior has twigged that brushes apply lipgloss better than sponge tips! The new Dior Addict Ultra Gloss comes with a brush applicator – hurrah!

As for texture, I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Do bear in mind that I’m biased because I already love these. But if you are the sort to scoff at lipgloss and be like me once and “never wear lipgloss” then Dior Addict glosses might just change your mind.

dior addict flash pearl glow lipgloss review

The formula is light on the lips yet pigmented enough, not sticky or tacky yet have a great shine and lasts on the lips and although there is a scent, it is bearable. Dior Addict glosses are the best! They sit up there with Guerlain Kiss Kiss glosses for me.

Here are some swatches of the 3 colours I have, and how different each style is from the other.

Pearl #576 – Sari Pink / Rose Sari

Dior addict sari pink ultragloss review

The Pearl style imparts a pearly shine to the lips so there is more shimmer and the colour is a little stronger. Sari Pink is a bright rose pink in the tube but applies a little more muted with lots of shimmer, which is great when you want shiny lips. I love this one for colour.

Flash #557 – Empire Pink / Rose Empire

dior addict empire pink lipgloss review

Flash is the most sparkly of the 3 styles. It offers a bright pop of colour with loads of sparkly shine and is great if you aren’t afraid of bright shiny sparkly lips. Empire Pink is a rosy pink shade that applies exactly as it looks in the tube – sparkly and gorgeous! The swatch on the back of my hand tells it all.

Glow #342 – Corail Confidential / Coral Confidential

dior addict corail confidential lipgloss review

Glow is quite possibly the most muted of the 3 styles. It gives just a shine to the lips… a glow more like, without shimmer or glitter. It is great for those who like understated lip colours. Coral Confidential applies on my lips, as a “my lips but better” shade, which is quite strange as I was expecting a coral toned lip colour. It is in fact a good neutral lip shade for me. This might be because Glow is the least pigmented of the 3 styles of the new Dior Addict Ultragloss. If you like just a hint of colour on your lips without all that shine and sparkle, go for Glow. Brides will love these too for that shine without too much sparkle.

Pros: 3 textures to suit different styles, non sticky, non drying, lovely colours, Brush applicator offers good control

Cons: Some might find it pricey

Which is your fave?

Which is my fave? Pretty much all 3 but if I had to pick just one, it’d be the Glow #342 Corail Confidential. I’m not partial towards nude or neutral toned lips, but I love how lovely and shiny my lips look (without being sparkly or overdone) and I love that I’ve been wearing this for about a week straight. That’s saying a lot! In terms of colour, I like Sari Pink – I’ve never really been able to wear pink lip colours but this one is changing my mind. I can wear pink it seems! Yay! 😀

I reserve the Flash texture in Empire Pink for evenings. Its so sparkly that it makes me look overdressed in the day.

Have you tried Dior Addict lipglosses? Like them as much as I do? 🙂

    Sari Pink is gorgeously pretty! Love love love the way your lips look. 🙂

    I’d probably only pick either the pearl or glow shades since the flash is well, too flashy for my liking. 🙂

      Sari Pink IS pretty! I never thought pink lipgloss would be this pretty 🙂 Flash is certainly very flashy. Not even I dare pull it off for the day a few days in a row… although I do since the colour is a little light. Just that its super sparkly

    i am actually the REAL lipglosseater, as my lipglosses all disappear after like, 1 hour. yet i am still a total sucker for them. and yes, Dior Addict, although i only own the CRYSTAL GLOSS (haha!), is definitely my favourite lipgloss. i havent tried guerlain, but i do have Chanel, Lancome’s Juicy tubes, L’oreal Glam Shine, Bonne Bell’s lip smackers and another super delicious lipgloss from the US, called Hot Fudge Sundae, which tastes exactly like a minty hot fudge sundae.

    so far, the crystal gloss managed to last me 2 hours, which is a miracle, so yeah. loves it!

      Gosh! Crystal Gloss is NOTHING next to these babies 😀 I promise you. If you like glosses (and if you liked the Dior Crystal Gloss) you’re going to LOVE the Addict Ultraglosses. 18 colours to choose from 😀

    I like Corail Confidential so much! The colour is so natural with a light tint. Especially like it coz there’s no shimmer! Me love! 😛 Actually for RM88 I think it’s not bad… The new Anna Sui Lipsticks are RM88 and you are just paying for the packaging. Nothing special to me if you compare lipsticks are lipglosses I would prefer taking lipgloss coz the product is more.

      I don’t think them pricey too since there aren’t many lipglosses I like. But lipstick or gloss is usually a matter of preference for texture. The Glow series has some lovely colors with great texture and very little shimmer 🙂

      You know, on my pigmented lips, it comes up “neutral” but I think on yours it might not – hard to say though 🙂

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
