Dior Addict Fluid Sticks ($35 for 5.5 ml/0.18 fl oz) are the latest in lip innovations. They are a hybrid gloss, lipstick and stain all in one. They have a fluid texture that is extremely pigmented but blends out perfectly to a sheerer but full coverage finish. The Fluid Sticks come with a sponge tip applicator that has a unique design – I found it shaped perfectly to get a precise application to the lips. The formula is a high-impact type of lip color. They cover the lip entirely but aren’t completely full-coverage. There is a soft fragrance to it but it fades quickly. I found these to have a slightly plumping feel – but it did not irritate my lips or and I didn’t feel any reaction (many lip-plumping products cause a numbing reaction for me).
These are currently only available in stores at Macy’s and the Dior Las Vegas Palazzo Boutique. Other stores should have these in the US starting May. Online now at Sephora, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dior.com.
I ordered a few from the Dior Boutique and online, left to right: 219 Whisper Beige, 239 Frisson, 269 Tiny Pink (only on Dior.com and reported to be a Sephora exclusive), 373 Rieuse and 389 Kiss Me.
Swatches on the arm for now, I’ll post lip swatches in a separate post shortly.
- 219 Whisper Beige is a nude beige but not too nude
- 239 Frisson is a limited-edition color according to the Dior boutique, it’s a soft peach
- 269 Tiny Pink is exclusive to Dior.com and will also be a Sephora exclusive, it’s a warm pink
- 373 Rieuse is a healthy warm pink
- 389 Kiss Me is a cool-toned pink
The sponge tips are not your typical sponge tip for lip glosses. It has a beveled tip which makes application easier. They blend the color out on the lips really well. No lip liner or tweaking needed.
The packaging is similar to that of the Addict Lip Glosses. The difference is in the finish and brush tips. Addict Fluid Sticks pack in more punch and pigment while Addict Glosses have a higher shine and sheerer finish.
Swatches below to show the difference in pigment and shine:
Dior has hit it big with these new lipstick/gloss Addict Fluid Sticks. At $35 each they are a bit pricey but you won’t be disappointed with the formula. They blend out on the lips in an amazing way with a soft healthy shine. There is a wide range of color options – enough to suit everyone’s tastes. I ordered sight unseen and gravitated towards the lighter shades. Bubbly Michelle has swatches of all the colors which I found very helpful.
These will be at all Dior counters soon. Right now online at Sephora, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dior.com.
These look lovely! Gonna have to go on a hunt to find them here in the UK 🙂

I love the shades you selected, some lovely soft pinks in there ^^. I'm already a fan of these, they are so juicy!
Ah these look amazing! I will be in Vegas this weekend and will definitely be swinging by the Dior counter to pick one up. I'm a huge fan of Dior lip products. I swear by the addict lip glow.

Love the packaging. So chic but a tiny bit futuristic. Not sure I need any more glosses though. They seem to last forever.
Hey Sabrina, great picks! I have Rieuse as well. It's a great everyday shade with a bit of a punch!
Que bonitos todos los colores, y la textura parece muy hidratante 🙂

I'm also in love with these ! They are more buildable than YSL's vernis à lèvres.
I choosed Frisson and Magique ! I've heard that Magique is LE.
Tiny pink is oh so pretty !!! It's the 1st time i see this color of Fluid stick !
Thanks for your review.

Believe it or not, these are very similar to the old formula of DIOR lip gloss. I remember back then my fav lippies was from Dior lip gloss that has the same color as 219. I think the serial number is the same, too. I'm so glad they brought this back, they might modified the old formula little bit for the better (yes it has a mild stain effect hours later). LOVE IT!!!!!!
