*PICTURE HEAVY* Dior Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm review + Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick #174 sheer rose swatch + FOTDs Ready to glow!
Hi everyone! Already July! Time has pass by so quickly! It's so hot today here in Montreal, we're hitting the 40 degrees with humidity. So today I'll be reviewing Dior's Lip glow color reviver balm, showing you swatches of their High shine lipstick in #174 and a FOTD.
Lets start by the lip glow reviver balm.
What it says : "A color-awakening lip balm with SPF 10. Dior Addict Lip Glow responds to the color chemistry of your lips to create a shade that is uniquely yours. Smooth it on to moisturize, add sun protection, and enhance your natural lip color." (Source: Sephora.com)
Dior products gets me weak. haha. Ever since I bought one of their High shine lipstick, I've been hooked on their products. I bought this because I wanted a lippie with SPF for summer and also something that would give me just a little tint of color to my lips. I came across this product and it turned out out be exactly what I wanted. Dior's Lip glow color reviver balm packaging is the same as their addict high shine lipstick except for the color (this one is pink). It got SPF 10 and the product is pink too. I find that it has a light vanilla scent to it which is very pleasant. Like the description said, the product responds to the chemistry of YOUR lips. So don't expect to have the same lip color as another person, who used the same product. I've seen a few swatches on other people and some of them turned out to be fushia, other soft pink and etc.. Mine turns a red/pink that is hard to describe. LOL. It made me think of Smashbox's o-gloss, which reacts with the chemistry of your lips too but it's a gloss. The finish of this balm is glossy, but not sticky. The SA told me that the more layer you put, the more vibrant the color is. I've tried it and it is true. I can say that this is quiet long lasting, even after eating & drinking, the color is still here but not the glossy effect. My lips does feel hydrated too.
Now let's move on to the Addict High Shine swatch!! I've already made a review before (click here) so I will only show you guys some swatches & comparison. I've finally found the #174 sheer rose color! I was so happy because I just couldn't find it anywhere loll!
I love love love the #174 one! It's the perfect baby pink tone that I've been searching for. :)
I've picked up the latest Dior eyeshadow quint from their summer 2010 collection in Ready-to-Glow. I'm head over heels with the grey color. xD This is my second Dior palette and I prefer this one to the other. I find it more pigmented and I like the iridescent finish.
Here's my FOTD (from a while ago but oh well LOL) with the Ready-to-glow palette
What I've used:
- Mac Studio Finish concealer SPF 35 in NW 20 (not shown)
- UDPP eye primer (not shown)
- Dior eyeshadow quint in Ready-To-Glow
- L'oreal extra-intense liquid pencil eyeliner
- Maybelline Falsies mascara in blackest black
- Anastasia brow ex-press
- Shu uemera lash curler
- Shiseido Perfect rouge glowing matte lipstick in PK224 Sugarbabe
Hoe you guys enjoyed! :D

Here's a swatch on my hand. The color that appears on my hand isn't the same color that appears on my lips.
What I like <3 :
- It had SPF 10 (it's not a lot but still)
- Light vanilla scent
- Convenient package & travel friendly
- Buildable shade
- Hydrating
- Not sticky
- can't think of anything... yet. hahaha =P
Overall:
Packaging: 5/5 Travel friendly & mess free!

Would I repurchase? Yup! It's a product that I use sparingly so I think the tube will last me forever lol :)
