The Dior Fall 2015 collection is called Cosmopolite, made for the woman who “plays by her own rules to suit her mood, her adventures and the time of day.” This collection consists of metallic eyes, soft lips and flushed cheeks. Today, let’s talk lips as I take my first dive into the beloved Dior Addict Fluid Sticks ($42 CAD).
Fluid Sticks are a sort of hybrid gloss and lipstick. They deliver high-shine plump lips with a “one-sweep” colour deposit. And can we talk about the packaging for a minute? I love the knob on the end of the doe-foot wand applicator and the lipstick tube shaped well inside the clear packaging.
289 VERSATILE is a milky neutral pink.
This leaves a soft deposit of baby pink on the lip and really makes my lips look shiny and plump.
Next up is 499 AVANT GARDE, a neutral nude-taupe.
What I love about the applicator is that is comes out of the package just soaked in gloss. You really only need one swipe.
This shade is very close to my lip colour with just a hint of nude brown. It really puts the focus on my eyes…

784 CHIC is a neutral berry shade.
See that point on the tip of the applicator? It’s perfect for creating a sharp lip line!
I am really digging on this creamy raspberry tint.

My first experience with the Fluid Sticks has been a good one! I love how voluptuous these make my lips look (because as I get older, my lips seem to be shrinking), and these do not feather at all, which has been a problem for me lately when I wear gloss. These remind me of Maybelline’s Color Elixirs only the Dior formula has a more even application and thicker, more pigmented formula.
The Dior Addict Fluid Sticks – Cosmopolite edition ($42 CAD) are available now on Sephora and Dior.com. They will be available at all Dior counters including The Bay beginning in August.
