Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick

Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick is just what the name says, a high shine lipstick. I love the packaging on this one and it always feels luxurious to carry around Dior items.

The lipstick is on the sheer side. If you want a lot of color, take a look at some of the other Dior lipsticks instead (all Dior lip products are quite wonderful). It has a nice moisturizing feel to it and it gives off a good glossy shine. In many ways, Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick is really more like a glossy tinted balm.

The pink shades on this one are especially nice. I tend to wear mine as one of my spring lip colors.

Look for this at Dior counters in better department stores or at Sephora (which I linked to).

M.A.C Hello Kitty Kouture Dazzle Glass Swatches

My M.A.C Cosmetics Hello Kitty Kouture dazzle glasses arrived! The charm on the tubes is..well..charming. The shades will also be of good use to me. I like the lighter shade over just about any lip color, and the brighter pink I tend to wear alone.

My husband also saw the receipt for the purchase of the two dazzle glasses and the Swarovski crystal mirrored powder compact and told me that he really didn’t want to know how much this stuff costs!

It was definitely my splurge of the month!

Neutrogena MoistureShine Ornament

I got an email about this cute ornament:

It is a Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Soother in a clear start shaped case. I imagine you can find this in the big box stores and drug stores. It is also a darn good tube gloss, with SPF, which is a nice bonus (read previous review)

Gifts for the Lip Product Lover

Here are a variety of lip product and lip makeup gift suggestions. There is something here for everyone!

For an inexpensive gift, go to where cosmetics are affordable– $1 each for most products! The Elf Cosmetics Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF Box Set of 5 is $5.

Burjois makes great gloss, so the Limited Edition Holiday Soiree Lips is a great value at $19.50 (it is worth $45).

I recently tried and loved Pur Minerals Smile, Pout & Kiss Lip Gloss Trio . These glosses have great pigment to them. This is another $45 value for $25 at Ulta.
