DiorKiss Luscious Lip-Plumping Gloss

I think I first heard about DiorKiss Luscious Lip-Plumping Gloss through a magazine. It was listed as one of the hot new beauty products for the summer. The author of the piece just kept gushing about how cute the names of the shades were and made reference to the tag line "Cocktails, anyone?" like it was the most unique thing ever. Hello??? Had this supposed beauty guru not heard of Lorac Mocktails??? But let's be honest, even Lorac was not the first cosmetics company to have a line inspired by fruity cocktails. While this has nothing to do with the actual product itself, I just wanted to vent a little bit about authors who gush about how new and unique products are when in fact they really aren't so. Even more so is the fact that the writer in this scenario was going on and on about the names of the shades and not the gloss itself.

Anyhoo, turning to the product at hand. DiorKiss Luscious Lip-Plumping Gloss is fabulous! It is a new and improved update on the original DiorKiss line. The first thing you notice about this is the new and improved tube. Gone is the horrible, harsh flat sloped plastic applicator that was present on the original DiorKiss. Replacing it is a unique curved applicator tip "that fits perfectly in the contours of the lip for ultimate precision." And let me just tell you, it is so very precise. The thing I hate most about the original plastic tip is that the gloss just kind of glops on all over the place. The plastic tip is like ice, allowing the gloss to slip all over the place, inevitably falling outside your lip lines. The curve tip on the new DiorKiss Luscious Lip-Plumping Gloss hugs your lips allowing for a more precise application.

If you loved the original DiorKiss, you'll love the new formula. It is still packed with shine and pigment. The sheer, transparent consistency and the not-so-sticky formula still remain. I personally think that the lip-plumping capability is more prominent with the new formula. It's still as long lasting as ever. There is a slight price difference between the two. The new DiorKiss Luscious Lip-Plumping Gloss is priced 50 cents higher at $19.50. It's available in 8 shades (I'm loving Hawaii Coco at the moment).

One bad thing if you were a huge fan of the original DiorKiss line, it's being discontinued! DiorKiss Luscious Lip-Plumping Gloss will be replacing the original line. So if you are obsessed with a particular shade and think you can't live without it, you better stock up. A lot of places are already sold out of the original line. Sephora.com only has Blueberry Muffin available as of today.
