I promise you that Dior Addict Tango will not be your last Tango in Paris

March 28, 2011 Paris B 28 Comments

When I was at the launch of the new Dior Addict lipsticks, I remembered being rather captivated by a coral lipstick but heavens! The name had totally escaped me! So I went to a Dior counter recently and the sales assistant tried to jog my memory “Bobo? Tango?” Err… What? Ended up swatching all the coral lippes in the range and I ended up with #652 Tango.

The reason I picked it up was because although it belongs in the coral colour family, there is enough pink in there so you don’t end up looking like you took orange crayon and drew all over your face 🙂

The new Dior Addict lipsticks are like a cross between the Addict and Addict High Shine lipsticks. They are fairly pigmented (different ranges within the line are more pigmented than others) but in the main apply a little sheer with a shine to it. Here is a swatch of Tango on the back of my hand, swatched just once.

You can see that it has pink undertones, which is really quite flattering when worn. Also, you can see that swatched just once, its not as sheer as you might expect, and the shine is pretty yet not overwhelming. It adds a nice shine to the lips, like as if you slicked on gloss, but without the goopiness of gloss. I’ve got a picture of the full packaging and a quick look I did below 🙂

The packaging too has been changed, from the translucent dark blue cap to a pearly white. Don’t bother trying to twist the metallic strip bit. What you should do is pull the round knob at the end of the lipstick and it’ll slide out like butter.

I’ll be honest. Haute Couture or not, I’m not quite feeling the packaging. For some reason it strikes me as being a little plain and a bit “top heavy”. I think I prefer my lipstick tubes to look a little more “substantial” so I prefer opaque packaging. Still, it suits the texture of this lipstick which is like pigmented lipbalm.

The lipstick slicks on like lipbalm and does not dry my lips out at all. I love the texture. Its got a nice slip and because its a little sheer, you can apply it in the car (not while driving of course) and be alright even if its not quite perfect, because the sheerness and shine will help hide the little imperfections.

As you can see in the photo, the colour on the lips has a pink tone which flatters me better than if it was just straight orange or coral. The colours look a little different but that’s really how it is on the lips. It looks a little different depending on how the light hits it, and you can see that it imparts a nice shine.

The little fly in the ointment would be the wear time. Because its got slip and is rather sheer and applies like a balm, do not expect a long wear time. I had it last about 4 hours during which I had drinks, and talked a lot. I also tend to wipe off all my lipstick after lunch. I don’t count this against this lipstick because wear time is never really an issue for me. If my lipsticks wear off, I reapply.

However, if you are in the business of needing your lipstick to last you hours, then you might have to pass on this one because it won’t give you that sort of long wear you need. But if you are like me and need it to last just a couple of hours and then reapply after lunch, you might like this one 🙂

Pros: Moisturizing, Medium pigment, Glossy, Feels like lipbalm, Lots of colours to choose from

Cons: Pricey, Does not last very long

I probably don’t need to tell you I love this one. But I’ll tell you anyway 🙂 I love this one – the colour and texture suits me fine and nothing, not even the slight scent in it bugs me. I haven’t worn coral lipstick in a long time and I’m glad I chose this as my reintroduction to coral lips 🙂

Might you have picked up a new Dior Addict lipstick? Which colour did you get and are you liking it? 🙂

    Hi Paris! Nice color!
    Anyway, between Dior Serum de Rouge lipstick and Dior Addict, which one u think is better? =)

      Thanks Stephy 🙂 Between the two, I’d say it depends on whether you prefer something with stronger colour, or something lighter. If you prefer something stronger, Dior Serum de Rouge is it. The colours are more pigmented. If you prefer something sheerer and more “natural” looking on the lips, Dior Addict is the one to go for 😉 I’m in love with both 😛

        I just went to the counter and checked it out. Sadly, I was told that there is no ‘Tango’ and I couldn’t recall the code #652 for the Tango. =(
        Well, after some swatches, I came to like #530 and #343 =)
        Haven’t decided which one to pick yet though….maybe on the next weekend…yay~

          Doesn’t it just KILL you when the SA’s don’t know the names of their products?! I nearly strangled the one who kept telling me there was nothing called “Rock n Roll” until I had to whip out the colour chart and point her to it. Doesn’t help that Dior prints numbers on the testers and not names 🙁 I have a fleeting memory for numbers but names linger. I hope you pick up something nice anyway 🙂

    Oh nice~! its looks natural on your lips~! look like the type “is she wearing lipstick or not”

    I kinda like lipstick that doesn’t stay long~ just for 3-4 hours is enough
    lazy to remove lipstick make up @@ and I am kind of worried about lipstick that stays on too long, all those sorts of chemical to make it stay on longer >.<

      Oh I’m the same! I find long lasting lipsticks way too drying. I’d rather just reapply my lipsticks 🙂

    I could not figure out which one to get yet, but now I’m leaning towards coral shades too.

      Do take a look at Tango – its very pretty. A warmer colour is Bobo – A colour I remembered because it just sounded so odd 😛

    That’s a lovely shade, subtle and natural. Usually lip products last about 2 hours on me so 4 isn’t bad at all.. eheh

    strange but it doesnt look like it has any bit of coral in your fotd. The pink suits u really well. But the lipstick photo looks coral. I need to check them out in person. From the photos look of it, i prefer the serum lipsticks. Looks more chic in terms of packaging. I wish the serum lippies has more color choices though. I’m now also looking very forward to the new launch of the chanel’s rouge coco shine.

    Finally got my Tango 652 after more than 2 weeks of waiting! Apparently, it was out of stock at Parkson Alamanda and in between that 2 weeks, due to a work assignment abroad, my search continued at Japan Narita airport, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Taipei Airport and back to Malaysia KLIA…all of which resulted negative…no such lipstick sold 🙁

    Anyway, it’s already on my lips since today thanks to Parkson Alamanda.

      Depending on where you are, it might be best to check with your local Dior counter and see when they’ll get it back in stock. Thanks.
