Going Little Red Dress with Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Flash #856

by xin on January 9, 2012

Despite the raves from ParisB about Dior glosses, I have got my hands on them till recently, I had a RM40 vouchers to use thanks to someone 😀

Dior Addict Ultra Gloss 856

Battling between a polish and a lip gloss, I chose the latter as I had a polish in similar shade already.

And since I have many glosses in pink/light pink, so I picked a bright red gloss for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

Named ‘Little Red Dress’, it’s such a cute name.

Dior Addict Ultra Gloss 856 on Lips

Despite the bright color on the tube, it is rather sheer if you are light handed.

To get the pigmented color, you will need a huge dip to apply on lips. And the application can get quite uneven if it’s a light layer.

Even on its own, it is a nice color. However, I am not quite liking the brush as I find that it is very hard to do a neat outline with the brush.

Dior Addict Ultra Gloss 856 on face

It helps to brighten up the entire face with a little shimmer in the gloss. It’s just the right amount of shine without looking tacky 🙂

However, the color does not last on me and the gloss is almost gone as soon as I eat or drink 🙁

If there is a ever a lip color that can last on me for at least half a day, I will be first to buy it!

P/S: Even the Benetint does not last very long on me despite the staying power on most people

Price: RM85 (or is it RM89?)

Availability: All Dior counters

You look very pretty with glossy red lips! It’s not too bright on photos and you look like a kid trying the sexy vampy look 😀 (that’s a compliment!)

That’s a very pretty shade, too bad it doesn’t last long.

it’s my common problem with all lip colors, but on the bright side, i get to finish them faster if i keep having to reapply!

A very pretty red on you! You look so sweet. 😀 Gosh, I love the packaging and seeing the vivid red in the tube lol. I agree it doesn’t last, but I like that it’s not sticky at all and doesn’t gunk up on lips if you need to reapply.
