If you haven’t taken a look at the colors available for Dior Addict (reader favorite for “my lips but better” lip gloss), do take a look — they have greatly expanded the color offerings. Including (dunh dunh dunh) icy blue!
My first thought was thus: What. The. Heck. Perhaps with a different word in there.
But as I looked at the pictures my second thought was, dang, I’m going to have to get this, won’t I?
I have always loved blue and black glosses — they work so well with my pale skin and cool undertones, and really do end up looking like “my lips but better.” Plus, maybe it’s juvenile but I do get a kick out of pulling out a lipstick tube that looks a lot more intense than it is.
For what it’s worth, I feel like these are in a different category than the “pH color changing lipsticks!,” which all turn a bright pink on me — a blue or black lipstick is a light color wash in, well, blue or black, more like a filter on Instagram or something.
I just ran out of one of my favorites, Givenchy’s Le Rouge Interedit in Noir, but I prefer the formula for Dior Addict… so this may be coming home with me soon.
(DANG IT they have a dark “blackberry” that’s almost black that I also want. Problems, problems.)
The lip gloss is $40, at Nordstrom and other department stores.
Looking for something similar? This MAC lipstick is a light blue MLBB as well and only $26… In general, some of our latest favorite MLBB tints include Dior Addict, Clinique’s Black Honey, and NARS Afterglow, I also like this $20 option from Amazon as a great Dior Addict Lip Glow dupe. Other recent favorites, both very affordable: this NYX gloss, and this Peripera glowy tint.
