Dior Summer 2013 Bird of Paradise: Jelly Lip Pens & Dior Addict

The Dior summer lip offerings are mostly focused on fresh, juicy pinks and corals that we associate with the summer season.

Of the four Addict lipsticks, I decided against the pinks and opted for On the Beach (£24). It looks quite vivid in the tube but goes on as a sheer coral pink with a glossy finish.

I like the balm like moisturising formula of the Addict line, though they do not last long.

The collection also features Jelly Lip Pens (£19). The pigment is higher than I was expecting, and they go on smooth and feel very hydrating.

Ilhabela is a cool pink with micro glitter and Carioca is a shimmery apricot. Both shades give that shiny look you'd get from a gloss. They are really quick and easy to apply and they have a twist up system so no need to sharpen. I am really liking these and am very tempted to pick up the other two shades from the collection.

I find these are all comfortable in feel and flattering, easy to wear shades. My Dior purchases are often hit and miss but these are most definitely a hit.

I bought these from John Lewis
