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 🙂
