'HAUL: Dior Addict EXTREME Lipsticks and NARS'...

I'm pretty much obsessed with my Dior Addict lippies, so when I saw the new EXTREME lipsticks on Sephora.com I immediately searched the internet for swatches =) Unfortunately back when I ordered there weren't too many swatches to come by, so I just picked two and went for it! Here's what I picked up...

Dior Addict EXTREME Lipsticks
Keep reading for colors, swatches, and some NARS! (a bit picture heavy)

These applied really smoothly much like the regular Dior Addict Lipsticks, but the finish is a bit less glossy with these. Don't get me wrong, they are still glossy, just not to the point like the Dior Addict Lipsticks that look like you actually have lipgloss on!

I will tell you that if you are looking at these lippies on Sephora.com, the colors they show next to the lipstick names are NOTHING like what they really are... I would actually say this is true about all lip products on their website.

Ok, now I'm not great at lip shots... but I tried for you!! In person they are definitely a bit darker and more vibrant.

At the time when I ordered, Sephora was offering a little NARS freebie to their "VIBs"...

The freebie included:  Laguna Bronzing Powder, Copacabana Illuminator, and their Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base.

I have tried the Laguna bronzer before and I'm just not a big fan. If you are looking for a medium-tone bronzer I would go for Benefit's Hoola over this. And of course my favorite super pigmented bronzer/contour is the MAC blush in Blunt. Here is Laguna swatched...

Ok so that's it! You better believe I'm going to be picking up a few more Dior Addict EXTREME lippies =) Thankfully there are more swatches out there now to help us decide between shades... though if I had it my way I would just get them all!!!

So have you heard of these? Will you be trying any out??

  2. Hey, I just found your blog looking for swatches of these lipsticks :) When I first saw it come up on sephora.com I grabbed one too, I got Cherie Bow. Online it looks pinky mauvey and in RL its peachy. Do you think they are long wearing? I think a little more that originals but I don't think they are a long wear lipstick.

    1. They definitely aren't long wear, but I agree that they last a bit longer than the regular Dior Addict formula. I have found, with the few times I've worn them, that the glossiness (did I make that word up? lol) wears off in an hour or two but the color remains for another hour or so.
      This is just my own experience though! Lipsticks never last as long as they are supposed to on me :)

      I hope my swatches helped!!

  4. I love Dior lippies too but never tried this line of lipsticks. Thanks for the swatches I will def pick one up too. I debated for the longest time what to order so I can get the free NARS stuff, but ended up passing bc I already owned everything in the pouch and a back up LOL

    1. haha I debated for a while too.. when I placed my order I actually expected that they would be out of the NARS gift, but they weren't =) I've really been liking the Copacabana illuminator! This little tube is going to last me for ages.
