Dior Holiday: Lipstick Swatches (The Kiss of Velvet)

If the packaging alone isn't enough to sell you, be sure to click read more to see my swatches and review of the stunning matte lipsticks from Dior! 

The Story

These lipsticks are matte (going along with the major trend of darker matte lips for Fall/Winter 2015), but they also have three nourishing oils to ensure that your lips stay moisturized throughout the day. It is said to have a seamless finish with long-lasting staying power. 

They will be on counters October 15th across Canada and boast a $45 CND price tag. Let's see if they are worth the price and how they look on the lips in my swatches featured below! 

The Swatches

The Verdict

So at $45 I am expecting some pretty impressive lipstick, not going to lie to you. I would say that the scent to me is a little bit old fashion in a way...classic would be a good way to describe it. I don't hate the scent, it just kind of reminds me of being a kid and trying on my moms lipstick...if that makes any sense. Texture was really pretty amazing, it has enough hug to the lips so that they last long but still comfortable. Not like the traditional matte that you might think of. I am in love with 580, it's like my favourite kind of everyday colour (beautiful with a smokey eye).

​I also think that the red (750) has the perfect amount of pigment to it and doesn't leave the lips looking dry or caked. I think my biggest and only complaint...I don't think the package is weighted enough. When I get a luxury lipstick, the weight of it and the click from opening and closing it gives me such pleasure. I know it is a super silly thing to knock on, but I feel like a little bit of weight to the bottom would have really just given this lipstick that extra luxe feeling that it was missing. 

I would highly recommend checking these out, they really have shades to suit the majority of skin tones and a very wearable type of matte. Great for those that want to be on trend but still want their luxury! 

Do you think that the packaging of a product is almost as important as it's contents? What do you think of the new collection for Holiday for Dior? 

Until next time!
