The Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm (Yes, it really is that long a name!) is a luxury product, but with a 4.5/5 star rating it is certainly a popular one.
That is because, as Dior boasts, this lip balm not only moisturises and protects lips (with SPF 10), but contains colour reviver technology that reacts directly with the unique chemistry of the lips, giving the wearer a colour unique to them.
So, is it worth the hype - and the price tag?
Well, lets first look at the packaging as lets be honest, its the first thing that draws us in to any beauty product. The lip balm comes in a pretty, pink hard plastic case engraved with 'Dior' down one side and the name of the product on the other; the balm then pulls out of this case to reveal an elegant silver casing.
All in all, the packaging looks pretty, luxurious and classic Dior. It is instantly recognisable, adding a touch of glamour and stares of envy any and every time it is pulled out of a handbag. I myself have pulled this out of my bag to the envy of a friend who called me a 'Lucky beggar'!
The formula of the product itself is an absolute dream; lightweight and non sticky, it feels like it is barely there, but adds just the right amount of colour to the lips, perfect for Spring. The colour reviver technology provides the perfect colour match shade for every woman's lips, and is a luxury edition to everyday makeup routines, the 'i'm not wearing any makeup' makeup routines or swished across the lips as the only makeup you wear for the day, just to make sure you don't look like a ghost (Pale skinned ladies will feel my pain here, amirite?)
At around the £23, it's not the most affordable lip balm on the market, but it is a great first step into luxury makeup, and the price is justified by the gorgeous (as ever!) Dior packaging and the initiative technology that the balm contains.
