Dior Addict Lip Glow Lip Balm - 006 Berry

Not your average tinted lip balm, these have an almost gloss-like consistency, and they condition as well as add a hint of color. I've been regularly applying both the Coral and Ultra Pink shades for a couple of years now and having recently used them up, I ordered the Raspberry shade, along with the two that I needed to replenish. Turns out I love the new shade even more than the previous two! It looks like an intense pink in the tube and online, but it's actually a subtle translucent pink once applied, that's just perfect for daytime use. Even once it's eventually worn off there's still a nice hint of color on my lips that looks natural. The color also lasts a long time without me having to regularly touch up throughout the day (once or twice at the very most). ... MoreNot your average tinted lip balm, these have an almost gloss-like consistency, and they condition as well as add a hint of color.

The formula itself is very hydrating which means it keeps dryness at bay much better than most other lip products I've used, no need for applying a balm beforehand, and it's great for keeping your lips supple and moisturized yet without the stickiness of most lip balms. The perfect and subtle cross between a gloss, balm and a lipstick. I'm also a fan of Dior's 'Lip Glow Oil' but I'd say the balm is the more superior product from the two.~ My Sephora Top 7 must-have list ~(My top 7 must-have beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Sephora)1.

I have been a loyal user of Dior Lip Glow Balm since 2010, but it has undergone several reformulations since then. The latest reformulation bears no resemblance to the lip balm I have cherished for the past decade. It is now sheer and excessively drying, providing very little longevity. Within just five minutes of application, my lips feel dry, and the color fades away. What disappoints me the most is that even the colors have changed, and not for the better. The new reformulated version is worse in terms of color quality. Additionally, the upgraded version contains less product, which means you're paying more for less and experiencing a decline in overall quality. Unless you're solely interested in luxury packaging, I would advise against purchasing this product at ... MoreI have been a loyal user of Dior Lip Glow Balm since 2010, but it has undergone several reformulations since then.

The Dior Lip Glow Color Reviver Balms are such a gorgeous collection of lip balms that I love to display on my bathroom countertop. They come in an adorable pink logo decorated translucent encapsulation in a square shape with rounded corners. The top has a little bulb for easy uncapping. I love that this lip balm comes in a similar style casing as a lipstick. There’s nothing I dislike more than a lip balm that is traditionally capped with those tiny caps that smoosh your lip balm, creating a mess. This is so effortlessly mess free, and super fun to click out and then click back in to the couture case. Today I am reviewing the shade 011 Rose Gold. This is a natural nude pink with a gold glitter effect.

There’s nothing I dislike more than a lip balm that is traditionally capped with those tiny caps that smoosh your lip balm, creating a mess. This is so effortlessly mess free, and super fun to click out and then click back in to the couture case. Today I am reviewing the shade 011 Rose Gold. This is a natural nude pink with a gold glitter effect. I was worried if the glitter would be too overpowering for an everyday look. It is absolutely not. The glitter is such a beautiful touch that captures the light in subtle ways without being too distracting or gaudy. It leaves more of a magical glittery essence on your lips, as if they’d been kissed by a soft ethereal cloud of gold dust. As you can tell, I love anything that combines glitter with cosmetics, especially when it’s done in a sophisticated fashion. Infused with cherry oil and lipids, this product makes my lips feel moisturized and satiny. Can be worn alone or under makeup as a lip primer. There is something so addictive about the smell of this product. This is going to sound very strange, but it almost smells like a mixture of white chocolate with fresh vinyl. You will not find a more luxurious lip balm on the market, nor one that comes in cuter packaging. At $38, it also won’t break the bank. Buy it from Dior directly to get free samples and free shipping with your order. This is a no-brainer for anyone who loves Dior or the Dior Addict line of products.

A staple product for years now!

I have purchased this over and over for at least 6 years, always going back and forth between the 01 pink and the 004 coral. Coral was always my favorite but I’ve recently changed my mind. There is just something about this pink that makes your lips look so good in photos, no liner needed. The coral gives more of a juicy look but the pink makes me look like I was born with lips that are naturally a pretty color. I will actually pair this with the Sephora gel liner in nudist to give me lips more structure. It’s a really cool toned nude liner, almost has a lavender tint and doesn’t overpower the look. The cool tones work so well together. Anyway this is hands down my favorite balm/lip product. It’s absolutely perfect in texture and longevity, and has a light minty ... MoreI have purchased this over and over for at least 6 years, always going back and forth between the 01 pink and the 004 coral.

I wouldn’t say it plumps, but it provides a comfortable, balmy, long lasting “your lips but better” look. I’ve tried several shades, and the matte, and the holo. And I keep coming back to this pink (and the coral). Staples for life!!

An addict since 2009

Jeez, I've lost track of how many of these I've purchased over the years. Bought my first tube when they initially came out in summer of 2009 and was instantly hooked. Must have gone through literally over 150+ tubes of Lip Glow since then.I've noticed some people touch on a reformulation that happened a while back, and I admit I've noticed a slight change however I do think it was for the best. One of my original gripes was that it was really easy to melt (ie. if I left it in my car during summer) however with the revised formulation I've noticed that it fares far better in heat. It does takes a bit more work to glide it on your lips when you buy a new tube, but after 2-3 uses it just starts feeling like the old formula. Same scent, same consistency, same hue ... MoreJeez, I've lost track of how many of these I've purchased over the years.

Same scent, same consistency, same hue change, same wear time, etc.Anyway I think it's pretty obvious that I swear by this stuff. It just somehow makes my gross lips feel rejuvenated regardless of what state they're in.I fear i'll have to buy this stuff for the rest of my life. This stuff is crack.Pro tip: Before bed, do a proper lip exfoliation and apply this immediately after. When you wake up, enjoy a plump pink pout. I've also noticed that this method actually increases wear time throughout the day. No clue how this works but it just does lol.

Disappointed in new formula.

I’ve been using Dior Lip Glow Balm since 2010. They have reformulated half a dozen times since then. This recent reformulation shares no resemblance to the lip balm I have used and loved for a decade. It is sheer and extremely drying and longevity is a joke. It lasts maybe 5 minutes before your lips feel chapped and color disappears. The biggest disappointed is the colors have changed as well. Whatever color you used before, this new reformulated version will be different in a worse way. And to top it off, there is less product in the upgraded version. So you’re spending more for less product and downgraded quality. I will not be repurchasing this product anymore until they make some improvements in the formula. At this price point, save your coins unless you are ... MoreI’ve been using Dior Lip Glow Balm since 2010. They have reformulated half a dozen times since then.

For low maintenance, comfy lip product fans

Perfect lip product for me. I’m not a fan of lipstick, lip stain etc.- way too high maintenance for me and not very comfortable. This is a little like a love child between a lipstick and lip balm- comfortable on the lips, maybe just a slight stickiness but I think that’s what helps it be more long wearing than a lip balm would be. The hydration IS there but it takes some time to sink in-the longer you wear it, the more moisturized your lips! So if you put it on and your lips still look a little dry, give it some time. I probably wouldn’t recommend putting a lip balm under since that will reduce the longevity. Has a slight pop of color designed to be an enhancement to you lips. This is NOT a long wear lipstick (nor is it designed to be), if you’re drinking, or ... MorePerfect lip product for me.

This is NOT a long wear lipstick (nor is it designed to be), if you’re drinking, or indulging in a little PDA with your significant other, you’ll have to replace it. But if it’s the pink one, I’ve found it’s sheer enough you can just throw it back on without a mirror or anything. I just ordered some darker colors so not sure if that’s possible with those as well. Anyways very happy with it, but it will depend what you’re looking for if this is the right one for you.Probably is a comparable product out there that’s similar for cheaper, but in my experience, you end up spending more buying up multiple cheaper products trying to find “the one”; and I don’t think it’s ever a mistake to buy something that’s high quality. This does exactly what I want it to do, so it’s worth the money to me. Plus look how cute the packaging!

Combined with Dior Lip Maximizer lip gloss you can get a really glamorous glossy lips like in the photo I added or even just wear it alone for a more comfortable look. which I usually do. I bought this tube maybe a little over 6 months ago and now I just received the low. It's worth buying. Can't wait to get my hands on other shades.

No. 1 Repurchase Item for Lips

This is the only lip product that I have repeatedly repurchased. I have naturally dry lips so using lipstick often shows all of the ugly lines and dry skin on the lips. Instead, I reach for this lip balm because it layers well on top of a clear moisturizing lip balm; gives the lips a nice, soft sheen; and adds some light, natural looking color. If I want stronger color, I line and color in the lips with lip pen first. Also makes a good base if you want to top it off with some lip gloss and make the lips look super plump and glossy.As an Asian-American with medium toned skin and reddish lips, I found that various colors have looked natural on me:1.

Pink (which is very light, almost clear) gives the lips a nice soft sheen and looks very natural.2. Rosewood (medium) is the most pigmented out of the three that I've tried, and looks most like lipstick.3. Mahogany (darker red) gives the lips a darker, pretty sheen but is still light enough to look natural. If you want the mahogany color to look more pigmented, you will need to start with a lip liner base or add a darker lip gloss on top.

Really nice but...

So this is kind of weird to review. I really do like the product. The coral pink leaves a pretty subtle shade, it's light weight but still moisturizing and leaves my lips soft. It's got a slight cooling feeling that's really nice without being like that overpowering menthol sensation. It's got adorable packaging. BUT $40 is a lot for a product like this. I think you're very much paying for the brand name. You could probably find something that will work just as well for a fraction of the price. It you want to treat yourself to something this could definitely be good, but if you're worried you're missing out on something phenomenal you definitely don't need to. That's why I'm only giving it four stars. Great, but you don't need to spend $40 on something like this ... MoreSo this is kind of weird to review. I really do like the product.
