Dior Gold Essence & Ruby Essence Dior Addict Ultra-Glosses Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Gold Essence (212)
Dior Gold Essence (212) Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss (2016) ($30.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and fine, golden pearl. It had semi-sheer color coverage where the gloss lightened and warmed-up my natural lip color while also adding a moderate amount of shimmer and finer pearl. It had a noticeable sheen and a very creamy, smooth consistency. The gloss lasted for three hours, was hydrating, but prone to color gathering in my lip lines over time. There was a slight, floral scent but no discernible taste.

Ruby Essence (778)
Dior Ruby Essence (778) Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss (2016) ($30.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark reddish plum with warm undertones and fine ruby red pearl and a glossy finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips fairly evenly. The gloss was smooth, lightweight, and almost cream-like as it was so comfortable to wear and had no tackiness. It wore well for four hours, kept my lips moisturized, and sat well on my lips throughout the wear. There was a slight, floral scent but no discernible taste.

Ruby Essence is quite pretty.
Ruby Essence is beautiful. With my new found love of lip glosses and shearer formulas I am going to give this a try.
Ruby Essence isn’t half bad, but that Gold Essence looks like one very wimpy gold gloss. I’ll be sticking with trying for Fenty Astro-Naughty to dupe Ruby Essence, though.
Ruby Essence is a gorgeous, very wearable shade.
Would love to pick up Ruby Essence!
