Dior Kingdom of Colors Addict Gloss – Fastes #154 and Mylord #624

January 29, 2015
Dior has two new Addict Glosses ($29.50 for 6.5 ml/.21 fl oz, limited-edition) for the Spring 2015 Kingdom of Colors Collection in Fastes #154 and Mylord #624. Both are soft and delicate feminine colors that are semi-sheer with a high shine finish. Fastes #154 is an ultra-sparkly warm light pink with multi-colored sparkles. Mylord #624 is a mauve nude with gold sparkles mixed in.

I’m a huge fan of the some of the Dior Addict Glosses because of the smooth texture, high shine and sometimes complex shimmer. I really like that the shimmery ones have a smooth texture and aren’t gritty, but sometimes the sparkles have a bit too much sparkle for my taste. In terms of formula these have medium lasting power, the colors are mixed in the whole line – some are sheer while others have more pigment. I find most of them medium at best (if you want more color opt for the Dior Addict Fluid Sticks). I like that these have no detectable scent or fragrance which is a huge plus for those with sensitive noses.

Fastes #154 is on the super sparkly side. The pale color isn’t too pale to wash out my medium olive-toned complexion but since I have pigmented lips, the sparkle is more prominent on me compared to those with lighter lip tones. I normally love a really good shimmery gloss but this one is a bit too glitzy for my taste alone. I like this one layered over a cream lipstick to add a bit of shine and dimension. This being said, it does photograph well and a flash doesn’t make the lips look white. In real life it’s just too light and sparkly for my comfort but do note my lips are weird with the way they look with lighter pale colors. For me, I prefer my NARS Sweet Dreams or Dior Nuit Boreale (currently missing in action) because they have a bit more color for my super pigmented lips.

Mylord #624 is all kinds of gorgeous. It’s a lovely understated nude mauve that isn’t too cool. It has some gold flecks mixed in it. When this one faded, there were remnants of gold sparkle left on my lips but it wasn’t gritty. I wish this color came in lipstick form because it’s the perfect mix of nude, pink and mauve all in one. I would love this in a more pigmented version.

Here are some comparisons swatted side by side for reference:

NARS Istria (review here)
NARS Belize (lip swatches here)
MAC Lovechild (lip swatches here)

I love Mylord for the color – it’s the prettiest mauvey nude color. Fastes is a stunning shimmer but just too light and too sparkly for my taste but this is mainly because of my skin and lip tone.

Both shades are limited-edition. Available now at Nordstrom, Saks, Bloomingdales and Dior.com.

    I think Fastes might work for topping cream lipsticks!

    I like fastes on you.

    Me, too! I'm also a fan of the nude/pink/mauve mix. I'd buy Mylord in a heartbeat if it would ever come in a lipstick form! Still, even in the gloss form, it's super gorgeous! Thanks for the tempting review, Sabrina! 🙂

    Thank You Thank You! Your review is great! I'm your "lip twin" & have the darker pigment in my lips. You are a Godsend to those of us with this coloring because you always include your personal take on whether a lippie works on "our" lips. I am ordering at least one, & maybe a backup if my budget allows since they are LE. Thanks again!

    Does Mylord look similar to Nars Corsica? My guess it's a bit lighter, right? Love Corsica, but at times it's a little bit too dark for my complexion. Thank you.:)

    Mylord is such a beautiful shade!

    I have Mylord and I can't believe how pigmented it is. It's like a liquid lipstick/ gloss hybrid. I love it!

    Very pretty! I am intrigued by MyLord although the name is just hilarious & ridiculous for a lipgloss-LMAO!

    Were these promos sent by Dior or actual purchases?

    • Sabrina February 2, 2015 at 2:04 am

      They were purchased by me – items sent to me as press samples are disclosed on each post.

    Belize is gorgeous! It's like the perfect rose-y color for me.

    Hi Sabrina,

    I love how Dior Addict Mylord looks on your here — the finish is shiny but not too too glossy!

  • Fancie February 2, 2015 at 10:30 pm

    MyLord looks like the perfect everyday gloss! So beautiful!

    Hi Sabrina! Would you be able to tell how Mylord compares to Chanel glossimer in Sweet Beige?
