The creaminess and luxury of this lipstick are just inspiring and totally unexpected! Non-smudge pigment makes colour stay-in-place and you can completely rely on this lipstick. 

You would think this is just a lipstick but the moisture in this chubby little case in enormous!

"Result: my dry lips were absolutely recovered after the second application, the pigment is just awesome and it doesn't actually get into the lines on your lips. Since then this lipstick is never leaving my handbag!"

The texture is not just creamy but perfectly blendable even on the cheeks. I applied lipstick directly onto cheeks and blend it with a damp beauty blender (fingers works just fine too), I love the colour and it all went perfectly: beautifully matching lips and cheeks gives really pastel and fresh look in 808 Victoire shade.

Melts perfectly but non-oily residue, it's less creamy than crazy creamy YSL Volupte Lipsticks.

"Dior does stay on the lips and never on teeth and outside of the lips contour like Clinique for example.. Yes, I tried it. To be honest, Clinique has beautiful shades but their quality is not just there yet. 

Be sure, when you are wearing Dior lipstick you are absolutely party-safe!" 

So, whenever you want to wear bold colour go for Dior, I have tested all range of lipsticks: Dior Addict, Diorific, Rouge.. they are all reliable and perfect. 

Luxury Packaging is a black with the smooth finish and Christian Dior logo, the click will announce when it's closing. Quite lightweight and luscious packaging.

Now the favourite part is a swatches, I know it might be difficult to buy online if you have never seen lipstick in real life, almost impossible. 

 Only because Dior Rouge Lipstick made so much difference how soft my lips look and feel I decided to dig deeper and have a closer look at the list of ingredients.

"So, as I was finishing this blog post two ingredients in this lipstick really surprised me:
