Ever since i heard that Dior was launching their range of Addict extreme lipsticks i was waiting with bated breath to get my hands on them and i finally did!yay! The lipsticks are divided into 4 shade groups, and a collection of four nail polishes that match the four stand-out shades from each Addict Extreme group of shades (Incognito, Riviera, Plaza and Lucky). i think they have about 17 lipstick shades.They were launched this month.
This is how the lipstick looks!i love how dior makes the most luxurious packaging for their products!
What it claims:An extremely long-wearing lipstick that provides radiant shine.
What it does:
This long-wearing lipstick goes the distance, resisting fading while adding bold color and beautiful shine. The expert formula combines waxes, radiant oils, and hyaluronic
microspheres for ultimate comfort and a lip-plumping effect.
ok so thats what it says on the sephora website.
so i got two lipstkics from the collection and i got them in shades Incognito and Black tie. As you can see in the below pictures, the colors are from two ends of a spectrum!so what do i think of these lipsticks?
The one on the left is black tie,ok i know it looks super dark and very gothic but trust me it is not that bad. if you apply it ever so lightly it gives you a gorgeous light berry shade to your lips.almost like the bitten lip color!!!and if you like to go dark just layer it a little more and you get a nice berry shade.
The other shade is Incognito and apparently its their best selling shade. its a light beige nude pink color and if you ask me its a bit too light for my yellow undertone skin.
Now you must be wondering so why did she even buy these two colors if she sounds like she is not that satisfied????
weellllll,i bought it coz when i combined the two colors i got the perfect nude pink shade!!!i have been dying to get a shade that gives my lips a natural pink tone and yes i was happy with my
bobbi brown lip color but this i love because it is more pigmented(i apply incognito first and use my fingers to slightly pat the black tie color onto the lips). i also bought for another reason and that being i use these colors on my cheeks!

Check the color swatch in the middle. its the color you get when you combine the two.
what i love about these lipsticks is the multitude of shades you can create by just using two colors. if i want to wear a very very nude, barely there color i apply just Incognito,if i want that perfect pink pout i mix the two colors ever so lightly and this pink can be made darker or lighter depending upon the amount of each color used and lastly with the shade Black tie you can do almost 3 different shades!so isnt that amazing!
i use Incognito on my cheeks instead of a blush and it glides on super smooth and gives your skin this awesome dewy glow without looking too oily or unnatural(as if there is too much color on your ckeeks!).
These lip colors are highly pigmented and i just looovvvveee that but not in a very overwhelming way ,that the color looks too obvious!
I know the USP of these lipsticks is their staying power but to be honest they dont have that much staying power.The lipstick glides on sooooo smooth and it looks very creamy and after a few minutes i think the water in it evaporates or something because they tend to start looking more like a stain and i really love that !maybe thats why they look more natural. i think its the combination of the waxes and the pigment that make the lip color look more natural. the color does fade overtime but there is still a slight tinge to the lips so thats good for me!
i think they the most hydrating lip colors i have come across and most of the longlasting lip color are so drying!i was so confused as to which color to choose and i kept trying many different shades and wiping them off and in spite of doing that so many times my lips felt super smooth and they dint chap at all!so that shows they are super hydrating!
so the final verdict is that i just looovvveee these lip colors and i use them everyday as lipstick and blush!so that a double yay!its a bit pricey and if you think it is going to stay put the whole day,i dont think you will get that! but if you need a lipstick that is super moisturizing and highly pigmented then you must try these lippies and you will love them. but make sure you check the colors on your lips before deciding which shade to buy as most of the colors look super bright but when you try them on your lips that isnt the case!i am soooo not a dark color person but i bought black tie!
So try these lipsticks and you might just love them as much as i do. i am contemplating about buying the super bright shades in Lucky and Riviera!!!
