2024 Purchase💋
The Dior lip oil wasn't worth the money I'd spent, but I liked how smooth it went on. The fragrance was okay, but it isn't fit for all seasons. I bought these two almost two years ago during the winter season. I'd give both a 7/10.
Okay, so let's really dive deep into why I gave the viral Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil a 7/10 after using it for almost two years! When I first bought it, I was totally swept up in the hype, hoping it would be my holy grail. The initial application was definitely a dream – it glides on so smoothly, giving your lips that perfect, juicy sheen without feeling sticky or heavy. That's a huge win in my book, especially since I can't stand super tacky formulas. My lips felt instantly hydrated and looked fuller, which is exactly what I want in a high-end lip product. However, the 'smooth application' high quickly faded when I considered the price tag. For something so luxurious, I expected more long-term benefits or a truly unique experience that justified the splurge. While it feels great initially, I didn't find its hydrating effects to be particularly long-lasting. I often felt the need to reapply more frequently than I would with some of my more affordable lip balms or oils. This is where the 'wasn't worth the money I'd spent' feeling really kicked in for me. I love a good splurge, but it needs to perform exceptionally, and for daily hydration, I’ve found better options at a fraction of the cost. Let's talk about the fragrance – for me, it's a subtle, slightly sweet vanilla scent. It's pleasant enough, but as I mentioned, I don't think it's an 'all-season' fit. During the winter months, when my lips are really parched, I craved something more intensely nourishing and perhaps a less 'perfumey' feel. In the summer, its lightweight texture is fine, but the scent still feels a bit heavy for a scorching day. It's not off-putting, but it's not universally appealing or versatile enough for year-round wear in my opinion. Some days I just want something completely scent-free, and this isn't it. I've tried a few shades over the years, and while they all offer a lovely tint, the color payoff isn't groundbreaking. It's more of a sheer wash, which is expected from a lip oil, but again, for the price, I wish the tint lasted a little longer. The packaging, housed in that chic white box with black text, is undeniably beautiful and feels luxurious. It makes for a gorgeous gift, but ultimately, the product inside needs to deliver. So, why the 7/10? It excels in immediate application and aesthetic appeal. It's a lovely product for those who prioritize a non-sticky feel and subtle shine. But for someone looking for deep hydration, long-lasting wear, or exceptional value, there might be better options out there. If you're on the fence, I'd say try a sample if you can! It's a beautiful accessory, but perhaps not a daily essential that justifies its premium price point.
