Holiday 2018

Dior Holiday 2018 Rouge Dior Mini 4-Piece Set ($50.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a limited edition, sold out mini set that was exclusive to Sephora. The upside for yours truly is that the shades included are part of the permanent range so not all is lost, at least in terms of swatches and testing. The formula is better than it appears in the ratings because this formula comes with an overzealous wear-time claim of 16 hours when most shades last between four and six hours. I wish the lipsticks were squatter as they are narrower, and in the mini format, they are more fragile; I managed not to break any (I was careful), but I could see it happening quite easily.

Ingredients

Saint Germain (414)

Saint Germain (414) is a medium pink with warmer undertones and a cream finish with very faint pearl. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that had moderate slip, which I did find pulled a bit of color into my lip lines. The lipstick was lightweight and comfortable to wear over the four and a half hours it lasted for, and it seemed lightly hydrating as well.

Formula Overview

$35.00/0.12 oz. - $291.67 Per Ounce

It is supposed to “highly pigmented” with “lasting comfort” and no “colour streaking” for 16 hours. The pigmentation was typically semi-opaque to opaque in one layer, while the consistencies were lightly creamy or velvety, easy to apply, and went on fairly evenly/smoothly. The biggest "downside" is that they come nowhere near 16 hours for anything--they do not wear that long at all; they last between four and six hours on average, which is solid wear but falls quite short of 16 hours. The satin shades are more hydrating, while the mattes are slightly hydrating to non-drying. The formula has a strong, floral scent in the tube, and I don’t really notice the scent once it’s on the lips.

Terrific Matte (745)

Terrific Matte (745) is a medium-dark, reddened plum with warm undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the texture felt lightweight, velvety, and smooth with light creaminess and slip. The color applied evenly and sat fairly well on my lips. It stayed on well for five hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Daisy Plum (976)

Daisy Plum (976) is a medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and warmer, gold sparkle and fine, ruby pearl. It had good color coverage, though it wasn’t opaque, paired with a creamy, moderately emollient texture that was easy to apply and comfortable to wear. The downside was it had more slip and “wetness” to it that there was a bit of product that gathered in my lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade lasted well on my lips for six hours and was hydrating over time.

999 Matte (999)

999 Matte (999) is a bright, medium red with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The color coverage was nearly opaque in one layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips. The lipstick had a very lightweight, velvety consistency that glided easily over my lips and felt comfortable to wear. The color wore well for seven hours and was non-drying over time.
