Dior Summer 2015 Tie Dye Collection Dior Addict Fluid Stick in "379 Tropiques", "779 Plaisir" & "449 Ciel Rose": Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: Product featured was provided for review.

Ever since the Dior Addict Fluid Sticks ($35 CAD) were released, I've been eyeing them ever since whenever I pass by the Dior counter so boy was I excited that the new Summer 2015 Tie Dye Collection features three new shades of these beauties. To see some swatches and my thoughts on the formulation, click.......

Packaging:
The Fluid Sticks come in gorgeous gloss tubes that mimic the style of the Dior Addict lipstick tubes. The storage compartment for the product is actually molded to look like the bullet of a real lipstick!
The doe-foot applicator is fairly chunky and wide compared to the standard doe-foot but it works surprisingly well to cover the whole lip in one swipe.

Formulation:
The Dior Addict Fluid Stick features a very unique formulation. I would describe it as a super opaque thick gloss. Tropiques is a peachy rose and Plaisir is a bright pink, both of these are semi-opaque while Ciel Rose, a dusty rose, has a very pigmented formulation. The formulation of these are quite tacky and although not transfer-free, the colors are pretty darn long lasting. The downside of these is that I find them a bit drying, not while it's on the lips, but after it wears off (four to five hours).

Overall:

All three shades of the Fluid Stick is absolutely stunning! I love how glossy and shiny these look on the lips and I love how pigmented they are. The formulation is a bit tacky and my lips tend to feel dry after the shine wears off. Nevertheless, I am definitely going to check out some more shade options! Ahem ahem, one of each please!

Availability:

The Dior Summer 2015 Collection is available starting May 1st at Dior counters nationwide.
