Dior Addict Lip Polish

Dior has released a new lip gloss at the beginning of this summer only to Sephora Beauty Insiders. At first glance, this lip gloss seems to be similar to the other glosses currently in their collection. However, this gloss is considered to be the first of its kind because it has a rotating wand to aid in the application of the product. Is this necessary or just a gimmick to try and sell what I believe to be their highest priced lip gloss so far.

Sephora describes the product right here. This product is considered to be both a moisturizing lip primer and lip gloss in one product. "To create ultrasmooth, ultrashiny lips backstage at fashion shows, makeup artists roll a cotton swab along models' lips to gently exfoliate; they then apply petroleum jelly to prime to surface and multiply the shine of the gloss topcoat. Now, inspired by these backstage secrets, Dior introduces the new Dior Addict Lip Polish. Enriched with moisturizing hyaluronic microspheres and ultrareflective mother-of-pearl pigments; the incredibly supple formula instantly recreates the impeccable, glowing look of the runway. The revolutionary and exclusive spin-on applicator, which picks up just the right amount of product and then rolls it uniformly onto the lips, provides a delicate massage that enhances the benefits of the formula. Each gorgeous shade is expertly designed to deliver a different effect".

Fresh Expert is a sheer pink that restores lips' youthfulness and promotes fresh looking beauty. Glow Expert is a sheer light coral that adds sheer, warm color to lips to give luminosity and glow. Radiance Expert is a sheer beige that optimally rebalances the natural color of the lips and illuminates them with radiance.

My thoughts...This product is gimmicky. I have no doubt that the shades are beautiful and gloss impeccable. This is Dior, after all. I am interested in the formula but I will need a demonstration to fully sell me on the benefits of the spin-on applicator. I really like the Fresh Expert shade and am looking forward to going to Sephora and getting this shade. However, I would still like this shade even without the roll-on applicator.
