Dior Creme de Gloss - Yummy Fig Nectar (#641)

Dior cosmetics has come out with a new Crème de Gloss line. Let me just say "Potential Holy Grail lip gloss product!!!"
The Crème de Gloss line is a combination of lip gloss and lipstick. I have always liked Dior Addict Glosses I used up 2 of the same color (now called Jersey Pink) and I think I finished 2 different Dior Addict Lipsticks. That’s quite an accomplishment for me. I love the texture of the gloss. Itisn’t sticky and it’s fairly well lasting. I adore the slip and shine of the lipstick. It’s sheer yet shiny…only it doesn’t last as long as I would like. Now I have a happy medium of the 2 in the Crème de Gloss. The feel of this product on the lips is creamy. Duh. But really it is. It's not lip gloss sticky and not lipstick waxy.

the color of this swatch is slightly warmer than the real color

I was recently gifted a Crème de Gloss in Fig Nectar (#641). I have been wearing this color for a few days straight. It’s my go to color for a pinky-mauvey-shimmery lip. The shimmer is silvery and the coverage is opaque to semi transparent. It really is such a flattering shade that I believe many women of different colors could wear this. Sometime pink shades make me look sickly and yellow. This one looks so natural on me that if not for the shimmer, it could be mistaken for my natural lip color…if I had any color in my lips. (they are a pasty white as I am)
I love that the Crème de Gloss is actually moisturizing. I know a lot of cosmetic companies claim that their products are moisturizing but this one really does seem to be the case…at least for me. When most other lip products wear off my lips feel dry and tight. When Crème de Gloss wears off my lips are still soft for a while! I almost forget to reapply. I've applied this on my lips in the morning when they felt a tad chapped and lo and behold they felt a tad more moisturized after a while.
This product does have a scent to it, as I am terrible in describing scents, I will say this is is a fresh yet subtle scent that does not linger once applied and does not have any taste at all. Those sensitive to fragranced products might want to steer clear of the Crème de Gloss only because it does have fragrance…but really it is hardly noticeable.

As you can see from the top picture the packaging is standard Dior (of the moment) packaging. Dior changes their packaging too often. I guess it’s good because then I can spot old product but I have never been a fan of navy & gold so I’m glad Dior switched to the navy and silver look. It’s less gaudy. The applicator is a doe foot. And while I have rallied and ranted for years about how much I hate doe foot applicators I do like them with this formula. I believe a brush would make it too streaky on the lips and more difficult to apply. A similar product from Chanel called Crème Gloss Lumière has a brush as well as a click pen delivery method. It just makes the gloss goopy and hard to apply properly. I much prefer Dior’s formula to the Chanel.
