Hey guys! Another lazy blogging day. Been really busy, but I haven't forgotten about you guys!I'm back with another review of another Dior product I've accumulated in my collection. This one (#368)I got from a set of 5 (the others I have given away or left at some other location), so I'll concentrate on this one instead.
This one came from the LA collection from a while back now, and like a lot of Dior's lipstick it's very sheer and lightweight, which some have found to be either really good or really frustrating where color pay-off is concerned.

IMO, I love sheer lipsticks, because they're less heavy and drying on my lips (Dior lipsticks seem to be the inspiration for Lip Butters and more moisturizing and sheer formulas of lipsticks nowadays). But at the same time, my lips are pretty pigmented on their own, so I always have to either wear this on with my lips concealed or over a more opaque lipstick. Out of the five in the collection, this is my 3rd favorite. My first is the warm-toned red that comes with the collection, but I can't seem to find it D:
You can tell from the image above how sheer it is, especially toward the edges where the color isn't packed on. #368 is a warm toned pink which appears to have a blue undertone only because of the silver and pink glitter that comes with it. In all honesty, I wish Dior would stop with all the glitter. It totally takes away from the quality of the product, and what could possibly a wonderfully elegant lipstick turns into something that looks cheap and much too tacky for everyday wear.
I went to great lengths to get this picture at the right angle so you could properly see just HOW MUCH glitter is packed onto this lipstick. It's such a pity though because the color on its own without the glitter is such a lovely shade of warm pink that's actually wearable.
All in all, the consistency of the lipstick is great, but the glitter is more than a little off-putting. Hopefully, if I find my favorite shade of lipstick from this collection, I'll be able to share it with you guys x_x It's infinitely better.
In OTHER NEWS, I have another movie screening to attend tomorrow - this time it's Hansel and Gretel - Witch Hunters hahaha. I have a feeling it's going to be one of those movies where I'm just going to sit back, relax, and switch my brain off. Watch out for another review!
