Gloss Anyone? Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Glow
I am not a fan of glosses. Some are sticky, others are tacky, like semi dried glue stuck on my lips. YUK! I tried Bobbi Brown. Dislike. MAC. Dislike. I ended it there, until I grit my teeth under persuasion and tried Dior… a few years ago. OK, so that took me out of the anti gloss pit. Then I tried Kanebo, Revlon, Shiseido, all with positive impressions. Even that, I hardly wear glosses. They are mostly sheer and I have to reapply glosses frequently. Me? Lazy. Then, I was sent these tubes of glosses that looked neon…
These are the Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Glow in the Summer Mix collection. I took a look, and thought they were a little too bright! Then, I swatched it and I was wrong. I am a Dior fangirl, but as I explained previously, I don’t like wearing glosses. Packaging wise, luxe. I like. These glosses are neat and clean in these tubes, and under these lights, they look like glow sticks 
The 2 shades that I have are (854) Red Cruise, a red with hints of coral and (664) Rose Bikini, a bright pink. These glosses have a very light scent but I can’t be sure what it is. Maybe a hint of vanilla? Not sure… but they are tasteless. The texture is something I can tolerate, for sure. Sticky factor – minimal. Lips feel comfortable, but staying power was as expected. Probably wears about 2 hours on my lips without eating or drinking. The applicator is a tiny brush instead of a doe foot, and in my opinion, gives more precision and control. Good for thinner lips maybe?
Picture below is a swatch. See how pigmented these are? I thought they looked neon in the tubes, but once swatched, they are very wearable. Depending on how pigmented your natural lips are, these glosses can give you either a hint of colour, or a semi opaque finish. On me, they wear quite well alone, showing some natural lip colour too. I don’t buy glosses knowing I won’t wear them much. However, if I were to buy one, I would go for these mainly because my lips don’t hate it, the colours are pretty and I like the heavy, luxurious feel of the packaging. If budget is an issue, then I vaguely remember Revlon making non sticky glosses too.
Have you already tested these at Dior counters? What do you think of Dior glosses compared to others? Are you more of a gloss wearer or a lipstick wearer?

Photos are looking good
I don’t wear any glosses except by Dior and Guerlain because I absolutely hate sticky tacky gloss. Most brands go for that texture because it lasts longer but I’m not straying from the 2 brands I use.

Thanks PB. Who knows photos could look so good even when they’re taken in the bathtub? Hahaha! I haven’t tried Guerlain before, but I’m not even going there, since I hardly wear lip glosses. I think these 2 tubes will last me a very long time. Now, all I need is a beige and I’m set
These lip glosses are really nice idd and I especially love the shades, because they don’t have any glitters. The packaging is so pretty!

Yes, pretty packaging and there are lovely shades to choose from
You’re right about glitters. Fine shimmers are good for eyeshadows, but glitters for lips, not for me, not even on lipsticks!
I have Rose Bikini and love it! I really like Dior glosses because they’re so buttery, and they do make my lips plumper-looking!

Talking about making lips look plumper, I’ve tried their gloss does just that…. something maximizer… it does work! The minty feeling is cool and refreshing too
I’m actually quite happy with my lips so I don’t go out of my way for lip-plumping products. Nice to hear it works though!

I don’t use it either, but the makeup artist used it on me for a makeover. I was surprised it actually worked. Haha!
I definitely wear more gloss than lipstick! I LOVE the look of Rose Bikini. I remember I wanted it when it first came out, but then kinda forgot about it…your review just reminded me how lovely it is though! Must definitely grab one!

To each her own, I’m definitely a lipstick girl
Oh, both the shades are beautiful! You must go grab it while you can.
I’m grinning right now because I am not a fan of gloss either! I was fortunate enough to acquire a GWP Le Metier de Beauté gloss palette, and hoped a fancy brand would make me a gloss-convert. It didn’t
though I have been tolerating it as a lower lip highlight. 
I can’t get over the goopy, sticky feeling of glosses. I don’t like leaving behind a residue on cups, my water bottle, or my guy. I especially don’t like my hair getting stuck to my lips! I get confused when people say lip gloss X is “not sticky” because my cynical (re: lip gloss) mind questions if X is truly not sticky or if it is *relatively* not sticky. As in: it’s not so sticky for a lip gloss.
Dior Addict glosses are packaged so beautifully. They almost make me want to buy one. But the GOOINESS!
High five, Ninja, high five! Well said about glosses and stickiness. Lol!
the colours are SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
omg my brain has decided i NEED THESE!
and i am lemming on the orange one paris reviewed today too!
No no no…gonna save my poor bleeding purse
LOL! Ah, the joys and pains of reading beauty blogs… the orange one does look really unique. Love the tiny sparkles too!
They do look good, don’t they? I think the pink one will look good on younger girls. Fresh and innocent!
