I love Dior Lip Gloss. This colour is a beautiful reddish plum shade, nice consistency and texture and lasts for a decent length of time. I like it for evening time.

One of my favorites. It's an amazing red stain. Only thing is it doesn't seem to last very long on me.

I bought this on impulse at a duty-free shop because I had some excess local currency that I didn't feel like exchanging. The color is much more sheer than I expected, the shimmer doesn't really show up as much as I'd like, nor is it as red as when I tested it on my finger. I thought this would be a more highly pigmented, dramatic gloss, hence I am a bit disappointed. However, it will make for a nice everyday color when I don't feel like wearing much makeup and you need a stronger lip. Won't repurchase, though, since the gloss texture is a bit too slippery for my taste.

HOT HOT HOT
I was on the search for a nice red lipgloss (b/c I'm not a big lipstick wearer) & i died when I found this one. I was happy b/c i have other Addict glosses & like the texture (smooth, even w/ the "glitter"), the smell (faint plasticy, not horrid, or super sweet), not sticky, and they last forever.
It's a rich pigmented red, gorgeous colour. If you want less colour, you can just apply less & it's a sheer berry tint. I use it over a lipbalm to keep my lips from drying out. <3 it

My first Dior gloss and I am not disappointed. This is a sheer red loaded with shimmer and with a sweet rasberry scent. I prefer to wear it over a red lipliner or Nars Red Lizard lipstick. I only wish it were a little more pigmented and not quite as slippery. But all in all it's a lovely product.

Love it. Dior is the best for lip gloss. This red suits beautifully my skin. Very easy to apply, even with such a dark color.I find very difficult to wear other brands glosses in such a shades.They look hard on me and not natural. With this one I am very happy. I would definitely buy it again.

You get what you pay for. This is a gorgeous sexy red color. Very moisturizing and comes in the cutest tube. It doesnt dry out your lips at all eventhough it has a ton of shimmers in it but once you have it on...the shimmers just add shine. Dont worry your lips wont look like a disco ball...just lushious.

A Relish of Berries is a very glam red that can be worn sheerly for daytime or oomphed up for evening when worn over a similar shade of lipstick. I find it is a tad warm for my cool skintone due to its gold shimmer, and it's best reserved for evening wear. Won't repurchase as I much prefer my other red glosses, particularly Guerlain's Rouge Passion.

Makes lips look very glossy and full, though doesn't last as well as other brands I have tried. I put it over lipstick but it tends to make the lipstick sheer and disappears very quickly.

I bought this lip gloss because it was rated #1 in Oprah magazine. The color is beautiful -- pink, but not too bright. The packaging is lovely, and the applicator makes it a cinch to apply. The big drawback was its lack of staying power. It lasted only about 15 minutes on my lips -- and that's without me drinking, eating, or licking them. I took this lip gloss back to Sephora and exchanged it for a Nars Lip Lacquer.

this gloss is the perfect 'i dont know what color to reach for' berry shade that seems to be universally flattering. its not too bright, but not boring at all, and the shimmer is lovely. it has an interesting powder mixed with berry scent and no taste.
the texture is less thick, sticky, and tacky than say, a mac lip glass. the staying power is decent, but not what im used to with most glosses. this isnt a probloem for me, as i enjoy reapplying. the packaging is attractive, but it reminds me a bit of revlon super lustrous l/g.

Like most ladies now, I'm trying several differnent lip glosses in hopes of finding that perfect mix of consistency and color. After reading that this gloss got top marks in the current Oprah magazine lip gloss poll (whatever??), I had to try. Overall, I really liked the color which on me was a subtle berry shade with shimmer, and consistency was not stickey. Not exactly sure how this won the big award, but I'd give it a try. I think it would be a nice color on just about all skin tones. Thanks, Oprah. Didn't know she was into gloss!

I like this gloss a lot. It stays on for a long time and it has more pigment than the Armani glosses. I wear Armani foundation in #4, and this lip gloss is good on me. It's got a pretty intense depth to it, so I can't wear it over a lipstick-it just looks too bright, but on its own, this is a very nice color. Good berry color for fall. Excellent quality product. Superior to Chanel glossimers because the texture is better and it stays on a lot longer. This isn't at all sticky. Love it!!

this shade of addict lip glosses makes me a fan of them. it`s the best shimmery red lipgloss. the taste is great, the colour is lovely, the shimmer is perfect and the packaging with the wand is the best. I wear it in the winter and probably will buy another tube this winter.
the winner in true-red lipglosses.
the negative sides: CD addict glosses are just a bit too runny and watery for my taste and I constantly have this urge to reapply. I prefer a bit tacky and thick glosses b/c they have longer staying power.
REVIEW UPDATED: after buying the guerlain kisskiss gloss in "rouge passion", the dior is no longer my favourite red gloss. it is much too watery and runny and bleeds, too. also the colour is too "cold-blooded" and the shimmer too silver (I prefer gold shimmer everywhere).

I've taken a big step and moved on to color. I'm a LOLA who usually wears shades like a crunch of chocolate or a bite of toffee from this very line. But this week, I purchased feast of plums for my mom and was very happy to see that it really makes a dramatic change, especially since I'm used to going for the j-lo look in glosses. It definitely makes a statement. The color is cherry with sparkles. I've reviewed other dior addict glosses and can't say enough about the texture in these things. The nice thing about this gloss in particular is that the shade gets more and more intense as you apply it so there's a lot of control. Personally, since I'm beginning to get used to wearing red, I just swipe it once across my lips and I'm ready to go. As far as staying power, be prepared to reapply, and beware of the fuscia as it goes away. I'm very happy I decided to get it, on the tube the color looks like Dorothy from the wizard of Oz's ruby slippers.

The packaging is gorgeous, but I have to say I'm not sold on the gloss. I tried it on and it looked okay (not fabulous, but not awful) in the store. It wore off so quickly I couldn't believe it was Dior. I really do love Dior cosmetics, but this one is a pass.
