Since my last โSamples of The Weekโ Review, Iโve been testing a few Rouge Dior Matte Finish Lipsticks. But, in order to do that, I needed to try and swatch them in real life and see the colors exactly with my own eyes. Iโve seen these lippies before and Iโve even swatched them several times before, but I just couldnโt bring myself to purchase one because I find the shades to be mostly in the reddish side. I wasnโt bothered by the texture nor the scent, but I wanted more warm neutrals, muted plums, rosewoods and brick tones in it, so I guess I waited a bit more to see if there were more shades being released.
Fortunately, it seems like Diorโs been listening and theyโve released a couple of limited edition shades every season. These shades are somewhat more inclined to my fancy and with my recent Samples of The Week Post (found HERE), I fell in love with the Rouge Dior 772 Classic Matte Shade. This whole lineup of Rouge Dior Matte Finish Lipsticks have more variety of shades now than when it was reformulated and released I think about a year ago. In fact, the whole range of Rouge Dior Lipsticks have been reformulated and enhanced with more shades to choose from. Apart from the popular matte finish, these lipsticks also come in satin finishes and shimmers as well.
Packaging is really sleek. These lipsticks come in black/silver tube with a black cap on the outside and red lining inside. I donโt dislike the scent, but some may find it to be too much. At first, I thought they smell a bit like baby powder and cotton candy, but the more I use them, I sensed the hint of musky jasmine in it. The texture can be a bit drying as Iโve said before, but itโs lightweight and pretty much long-lasting. Theyโre well pigmented too. Mine lasts 4-6 hours of wear with some traces of colors still visible on my lips. The price is perhaps one of the main caveat of these lipsticks. Each costs $35 so you really need to choose wisely. Other than that, I really enjoyed these lippies and I recommend them to each and every one of you.
- 772 Classic Matte โ A neutral muted pinkish shade that I first fell in love with upon trying it from a sample. Itโs the perfect everyday lip color and it doesnโt look over the top. Definitely a classic shade that works for any skin tone.
- 745 Terrific Matte โ A muted rosewood shade that is probably my most favorite color of all the Rouge Dior Matte Finish lipstick line. This shade might be kinda hard to find because I think this is a limited edition for Spring 2017, so Iโd better stock up on this color asap.
- 951 Absolute Matte โ I love red lipsticks, but bright reds donโt love me, lol. Red bricks do. So I went and took this shade with me home. I love muted reds and this shade is the best red I could pull off.
Overall, I love these Rouge Dior Matte Lipsticks much. If you can stomach the price, I think theyโre reliable and so worth it, just donโt sell your kidney for it, lol! Anyhow, I recommend you try at least one or two perhaps and see it for yourself. Alrighty?
These Rouge Dior Matte Finish lipsticks are available at Sephora, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Dillard’s, Lord & Taylor & Macy’s.
Donโt go anywhere, stay tuned because a review of the newly released Dior Lip Tattoo/Lip Tint will be coming soon.
