Dior Addict Extreme Lipsticks in Black Tie & Paparazzi | My Weekly Loves

So, I have two Weekly Loves but at least they’re the same product, but just in different shades! Dior’s latest offering, their Addict Extreme Lipsticks are exactly what I’d look for in a lipstick; moisturising, pigmented and there’s a wide range of shades (17 to be precise) going from almost beige/nude Incognito (depending on what your skin tone is..) to the deep and dramatic Black Tie.

Whenever I shop around for lipsticks, I’m instantly drawn to the shades that tend to be bold, deep and dark so Black Tie was an obvious choice for me because of its dark blackberry/raspberryish tone. The second is Paparazzi which is your light strawberry-type shade. It’s a very subtle pink which is perfect for everyday if that’s your thing.

PROS?

There’s really no need to ensure your lips are moisturised before applying the Dior Addict Extreme lipstick.

The colour range is perfect, Dior has narrowed down a selection of shades down to a tee. Incognito is far too nude for me but, someone who’d prefer deeper shades definitely isn’t let down.

You can build up the intensity of the lipstick from slightly sheer to full on colour.

It has the prettiest scent; not entirely sure what the scent is but it’s a typical Dior scent.

CONS?

The price – have you seen it? It’s £24; despite it being so expensive, it’s definitely worth it. Especially Black Tie!

Embrace Spring & Summer With the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipsticks!

The YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks are very quickly becoming my favourite lipsticks ever. The rich creaminess, high pigment and stunning packaging are enough to make me giddy at the knees. Spring and summer is all about corals and pretty pinks so I decided to pull out a stash of the Rouge Volupte and show you ladies just how spot on YSL have got the trend.

I love how YSL cater to all skin tones and there’s a vast amount of shades ranging from deep browns and purples to subtle roses and they often look great on everybody, so I’m sure these lipsticks will look superb on all of you ladies whether you’ve got caramel toned skin or a complexion like alabaster.

In left to right order we have Peach Passion, Fetish Pink, Rose Paris and Extreme Coral. Each and every shade will have you celebrating the warm weather (it’s been quite gloomy here in London for the past few days, so if you’re enjoying the sun then I want you to know how much I dislike you right now…) and Extreme Coral is a nod to the colour of the year which is Tangerine Tango. It’s nowhere near the other orange lipsticks I’ve attempted to play around with including MAC’s Morange which is quite chalky and hard to apply. The Rouge Volupte is shockingly moisturising for such a highly pigmented lipstick.
