Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss - #982 Black-Tie Plum

Back in February I picked up my first (and only) Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in shade #982 Black-Tie Plum. I bought this from Shopper's, and I'm actually not sure if it's still available. However, you can still buy this online from quite a few different retailers. I've heard so many rave reviews on Dior's glosses, I couldn't wait to try one out for myself!

Dior Addict Ultra-Glosses come in beautiful packaging, I love the cap, it looks so fancy! The brush applicator is alright, although I do find that it can be a bit large. Shade #982 Black-Tie Plum is a very pigmented vampy purple with a ton of shimmer. Once you get this to apply perfectly, it looks amazing on your lips. However, I do find that this can be a bit tricky to apply, and I definitely need a mirror to help with application. If you're looking for an on-the-go gloss, this one won't be for you. The end result is a beautiful deep vampy lip with a nice amount of shimmer. This formula feels incredible on your lips, almost like a lip balm. However, being so hydrating and creamy, it only lasts for about 2 hours on my lips, and then I need to reapply. 

I really love how this gloss feels on my lips, but I find that this does take a bit of extra care when applying. Dior glosses aren't cheap, so I definitely will continue to use this gloss. However, I might try a lighter, more everyday shade for my next Dior gloss purchase!

Have you tried any of Dior's glosses? I would love any shade recommendations that you had! :)
