Dior Addict Lip Maximizer

Product: Dior Addict Lip Maximizer 001 Collagen Activ High Volume Lip Plumper

On the package:
"Dior's must-have beauty accessory for luscious full lips."
"volume effect when applied...Lips that look transformed in just 15 days"




This sheer rosy pink lip product comes in the classic Dior Addict packaging. It is a shimmery gloss, which gives the lips a volumous, wet lacquered look.




This gloss smells like vanilla and feels minty on the lips, giving a cooling, tingling effect. Although the applicator is thin, it is able to pick up the product very well. Its thin, angled surface allows precise application of product on lips. (No more worries of looking like you've forgotten to wipe your mouth after eating! Yay!)

Here's a swatch:


The rosy pink color of this lip maximizer is virtually invisible and appears to be clear and colorless on the skin. The texture is rich and feels slightly thick, but the gloss softens and hydrates lips fairly well.
After using this product for 15 consecutive days, my lips do appear to be slightly fuller. My lip lines are also reduced. However, I would not recommend this to those who expect to have a significant plumping effect on their lips as the results are quite subtle.

Pros
Classy packaging
Thin applicator: allows precise application
Cool, soothing feel on the lips
Clear, glossy finish, which could be worn with almost everything else
Gradually reduces lines on lips
Can be used as both a gloss and a lip treatment product

Cons
Lip plumping effect is not as dramatic as other lip plumpers
It leans towards smoothing out lip lines than plumping lips
Not as sticky as other lip glosses, but still sticky enough for hair to stick on (when the wind blows), which can be messy.
