Review: Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm

I mentioned in my post about my 2 new Dior lip products that I would be reviewing my new Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm, and well, now it's time for that review.

I was actually not sure about getting this product, since the whole idea behind this product is that it "awakens" and strengthens your own natural lip color, and to be honest, I wasn't really sure what shade that would be in my case, and if I would like it or not. The main reason being that I like nudish lips, very light pink ones, and I suspected that that would actually not be my natural lip color. But after having tried the Lip Glow, I must say I was happy with the results. The color of my lips, after I applied this was very similar to how my lips look without anything on them, just a bit darker, which looks really, really natural and nice. It actually looks like you haven't used any lip product on the lips at all, which is very, very nice, if you ask me!

The packaging of the Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm is not as luxurious as what I am used to with Dior products, though, the case looks kind of plasticky.

But the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm moisturizes your lips quite well, too, besides changing the color of the lips, which was a nice surprise. And the texture is really nice and buttery too.

So while this is not my favorite lip product of all time or anything, I am still really happy I gave it a try, and would probably buy it again, for days when I want a natural lip look, if you know what I mean.

Besides the packaging, which wasn't a hit for me, at least compared to other Dior products, the only downside of this product is the price. This is pricey for a lip balm, after all, but I think it will last me for quite some time, so maybe it's not as expensive as it seems for that reason?

Shopped: What I got at the Strawberrynet makeup sale

Strawberrynet, a site for beauty products that has quite awesome prices normally, had a great sale on makeup during the last week, so of course I couldn't resist picking up some products I had been curious about for a while. There was a lot of good stuff on offer, since their makeup sale was for all their makeup products, but I ended up getting this:

A Chanel Double Facettes mirror. Always handy, since I am currently using only one mirror for makeup, a really old Marc Jacobs one (you know, the heart shaped ones), and another one could come in really handy, since I could carry it with me to work and stuff. An isn't a pocket Chanel mirror the most glamourous kind of pocket mirror you can find?

A Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Balm. Because I always seem to need lip balm, and making it a bit more glamourous with a Chanel one can't be a bad thing! (I just hope it's actually good too)

Another Chanel lip product, something called the Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine, in the color Candeur. Because I like pink, sheer lip products that look just like this!

The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer. Because I've tried it, and really liked it, before. (Read why) So obviously I need another one!

The Dior Addict Color Awakening Lip Balm. Because I figured I might like this one too, if I'm such a huge fan of the Lip Maximizer. The only thing that could be slightly tricky about this is that I don't know what color my lips will turn with this (it varies from person to person, you see), since I haven't had a chance to try it, so it was a bit of a risky purchase, but let's hope it will be okay!

A YSL Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick.
The one I got was in the color Juicy Grapefruit, a shade I've tried and really liked before though, but they don't seem to have that shade in stock anymore, so I can't find a pic of the right product. The one in the pic is called Dewy Papaya. But I'll take some pics when I recieve this instead!

I'm really happy with my order, it turned out to be a very good mix of old favorites that I love, and some new products that I have been wanting to try for a while. What more can you ask for?
