Dior's new range of Rouge Dior Lipsticks is just so gorgeous that I've had to restrain myself a lot when perusing my local counter. So as not to get carried away, I decided to purchase the one I found myself drawn to most and then possibly pick up another (five?!) depending on just how much I loved the formula. So, will I be returning anytime soon after purchasing the beautiful 339 Sillage?
Described as a highlighting blush for the lips, these lipsticks are meant to impart extra radiance to the face, so I was expecting great things from this range. Who doesn't want every element of their makeup to add a coveted lit-from-within glow? Rather than completely cover the lips, they're designed to add a sheer amount of colour, whilst active ingredients within the formula nourish the delicate skin. They enhance your own natural beauty, which echoes the recent Dior catwalk shows.
The shade that I fell for instantly, 339 Sillage, is a warm, peach-toned pinky-nude shade. I'd say that it sits on the edge of nude, as it can look like a soft coral in some lights and you can achieve a fairly strong colour payoff if applied heavily. Despite the lipsticks having such a high concentration of active moisturising ingredients, the pigmentation is not as sheer as I thought it would be, not that I'm complaining! So brightening and luminous, the finish is just stunning and instantly brings light to your face on application. The almost glazed finish lasts well for a sheerer formula and a hint of colour remains once it's worn off. The creamy texture just melts onto your lips, so it's a joy to reapply.
The only downside of this range is the price, unsurprisingly. At £26.50 a pop, you may flinch at the thought of paying that for just one lipstick (cue my slightly queasy feeling). Saying that, I am tempted to pick up two more shades, Twill and Esquisse. I mean, you can never have enough really great lipsticks, right?
Have you been tempted by anything from the Rouge Dior Lipstick range?
