Chapped lips are a given in these last months of winter, so why not treat your lips to a little luxury with Serum De Rouge Luminous Lip Color Treatment, Dior’s latest line of lip colors, which are not only beautiful but super hydrating too? Serum De Rouge, which is what Dior is calling a “youth elixir,” is an added lip treatment that has “10 times more skin care ingredients than previous Dior lip color. After 1 month of daily use, lips are 40% more moisturized and 25% smoother.” Well, I’ve only been using it for a month, but the hydrating qualities of this lipstick is already making a difference on my dry, cracked winter lips.
The texture of these colors can’t be beat: they are soft, creamy and feel like velvet upon application. I appreciated the light feel as most hydrating lipsticks feel really heavy to me, but with this, I barely noticed that I had lipstick on at all. The colors are sheer to medium in coverage and they also have the added bonus of SPF 20 so your lips are protected from sun damage. While these don’t seem to have as much lasting power as some lipsticks, they feel so good going on that I find myself applying it almost as much as I would lip balm.
The packaging is classically Dior and I really like that they come in the slim longer tubes over traditional lipstick tubes because they fit better in my makeup bag. There are eight shades to try and even though they are a little pricey, I think they are worth it. Also, your lips will thank you too.
