575 WONDERLAND DIOR ADDICT FLUID STICK - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

The Dior Addict Fluid Stick in 575 Wonderland is a bright reddish coral lipgloss. It has the pigmentation of a lipstick but the shine of a gloss. It is easy to apply and is opaque with one application. The formula feels and applies rather wet but dries unevenly on the lips with some areas maintaining a glossy finish while other areas dried down to a muted shade. When reapplied to even out the application it has a tendency to migrate onto the teeth which is very unattractive and aggravating. The Fluid Sticks might have performed better if the formula were more of a jelly consistency and less of a wet liquid. Maybe then the Fluid Sticks would have worn more evenly and maintained an all-over glossy color consistency.   

The Dior Addict Fluid Sticks currently retail for $35.00 USD and contain .18 fl oz of product.

338 ROSE DES CYGNES LANCOME LIP LOVER - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Lancome recently released the Lip Lover Lip Protector - a 3 in 1 elixir that deposits beautiful color and a glossy shine all the while leaving the lips moisturized. This non-sticky, super pigmented lip product applies like a gloss but wears like a lipstick. There are currently 14 shades available on the Sephora website and there are 18 shades to choose from at Nordstrom. The Lip Lover Lip Protectors currently retail for $23.00 USD and they contain .14 oz of product. On the Nordstrom website they are currently offering 10% off on these.

I purchased 338 Rose Des Cygnes which is a deepened rose mauve. The color was a little darker than what I was expecting but overall its still a really nice lip product. The Rose Des Cygnes Lip Lover wore for about four to five hours before the shine started to faded but the color lasted for a little over eight hours and my lips stayed moisturized the entire time. Overall the Lip Lover Lip Protectors are really nice with long lasting color and they keep the lips super moisturized as well.

CHANEL: REFLETS D’ÉTÉ DE CHANEL 2014 SUMMER COLLECTION

Mix. Match. Mismatch. Bolder is better with this candy-bright collection, featuring playful shades to coordinate or clash for a sweet Summer look.

Summer loves colour with a passion. In the radiant light, pink is even more cheerful, orange tones explode with vitality and sunbeams of gold and bronze dazzle like never before.

At the water’s edge, the colours in the summer palette shimmer to the max; pure or flamboyant, always magical in the reflection of the waves. An idyllic vision of sunny days that we wish would last forever.

AZALEA SMASHBOX BE LEGENDARY LIP GLOSS - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

One of the items I purchased online during the Sephora 15% off discount period was the Smashbox Be Legendary lip gloss in Azalea. It is a brightened pink fuschia gloss that is non-sticky and applies easily. The gloss kept its shine and color with a wear time of about five hours before I needed to reapply. When you first apply the gloss it may look more sheer but within a matter of minutes the color pigments in the gloss really intensify the wash of color on the lips. 

The Azalea gloss currently retails for $20.00 USD and contains .20 fl oz. of product. There are a total of sixteen glosses to choose from and they are all available on the Smashbox website and online at Sephora. When I went to Sephora at the Northlake mall on Saturday they hadn't received the glosses in store yet. So for now you may want to purchase these online but I do expect them to pop up in store at Sephora within the next few weeks.

TULIP LAURA MERCIER LIP GLACE - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Laura Mercier recently launched thirteen new shades of her most popular lip gloss: Lip Glacé. The non-sticky formula glides on smooth for an even application all over the lips. It is a highly pigmented gloss that creates the appearance of fuller sexier lips with long lasting color and extreme shine. Lip Glacé is available in a variety of finishes: shine, sheen and shimmer and the coverage ranges from sheer, to medium to full coverage. They retail for $25.00 USD, contain .15 oz of product and can be found at most department stores and at Sephora.

I purchased TULIP which is a creamy blue based pink gloss. It didn't feel sticky just slightly heavy on the lips. It took only one application for complete coverage and it seemed to last about 4-5 hours wear time. Then it was just a few sparse areas on my lips that needed a smidge of a touch-up. Now even though I didn't notice any plumpness to my lips I was really impressed with the way the Lip Glaze wore. It didn't settle into my lips and it kept my lips really moisturized and the majority of its wear time the gloss stayed...well...glossy!

Here are the thirteen new shades:

• NEW Pink Pop
• NEW Bare Baby
• NEW Nectar
• NEW Poppy
• NEW Daiquiri
• NEW Wildflower
• NEW Azalea
• NEW Tulip
• NEW Orchid
• NEW Black Cherry
• NEW Garnet
• NEW Cosmic
• NEW Chocolate

88 PINK PIVOINE CHANEL AQUALUMIÈRE GLOSS - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Another item from the JARDIN DE CAMELIAS spring collection (US - online only / ASIA exclusive) is the Chanel Aqualumiere gloss in 88 PINK PIVOINE. This lightweight gloss gives a sheer wash of color to the lips with a glossy shine. It is very sheer and only wears for about 3 hours before it really starts to fade and wear off. It didn't settle into my lips and it was very moisturizing but there are better lip glosses available if you are on a budget. This gloss is one of those that is "nice to have" but definitely not a "must have". So if you were looking to splurge on a Chanel gloss I would skip this one. 

88 Pink Pivoine currently retails for $29.50 USD and contains .20 fl oz. of product.

182 TOCADE CHANEL L'EVRES SCINTILLANTES GLOSSIMER - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Glossimer 182 TOCADE is another item from the Chanel Variation Le Rouge collection. There were three glossimers available: 181 Bliss, 182 Tocade and 179 Murmure (the latter was also available with the US Spring collection as well). Tocade is a creamy plum colored glossimer. It doesn't contain any glitter or sparkle and it wears for about three to four hours. It does feel slightly tacky and it took two coats of the gloss for it to be nearly opaque. I was really pleased with its performance as glossimers tend to fade rather quickly but this one maintained its shine. Also the color is really beautiful as well. Tocade is currently priced at $29.50 USD for .19 oz of product.
