Dior Minuit Diorific Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches

Dior Minuit Diorific Lipstick ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “sparkling cool red.” It’s a lightened, medium red with cool, blue undertones and a pink tinge, along with a soft, metallic shimmer. The shimmer is faint, so it has more of an overall effect of giving it a frosted sheen than over-the-top shimmer. MAC Prepare for Pleasure (LE, $15.00) is redder. MAC Relentlessly Red (P, $15.00) is more matte. NARS Luxembourg (P, $25.00) is slightly redder. MAC Love Goddess (LE, $15.00) is a touch pinker. Dior Marilyn (LE, $36.00) is quite similar–just a little darker/redder. See comparison swatches.

The Diorific formula is lightly creamy, richly pigmented, and comfortable to wear. The texture is creamy enough that it won’t pull or drag on the lips, but it stays put and doesn’t bleed or feather outside the natural lip line. Minuit is long-wearing, topping in at seven hours of wear, plus it leaves behind a residual reddish stain. It’s somewhat hydrating while worn, and it’s a really nice formula overall. It is lightly floral scented but has no discernible taste. I wish it wasn’t so close to last year’s holiday release Marilyn, though!

Gaaah Christine, giving it an A+ doesn’t really help my wallet! ^^
I tried this on in the store and fell in love with it.

It does look different on us warmer types than on the model from the promo image, right?
Still, it’s one of those colours that makes my heart beats just a bit faster, so gorgeous!

this looks beautiful on you. i’m so glad i ordered it. it should be here today…yay! i did get any of the lipsticks last year, so i’m glad there was a color that i don’t already have a ton of dupes for (warm reds, i’m looking at you).

I just had a chance to put it on! I love it! (Although it has a weird scent-hopefully that will wear off). I managed to only get two lipsticks from the sephora sale…I got mostly skincare and gifts…but I did buy the Chanel charming palette. I snagged the last one at my Nordstrom. It’s so beautiful!

Thanks for the tip. I left the cap off and the smell is gone! Now I can love it. It seemed like a “cheap” scent to me. I was something I might expect in a $3 lipstick not a $36 one. I’m glad there was an easy fix.

I have this shade and it is definitely fuchsia on me. Its funny as some of the promotional material describes is as fuchsia as well. It looks like the lipstick on the ad campaign photos on me, which I like. Its my first fuchsia and I’ve gotten complements on it already! I have a neutral cool undertone to my skin though, so it will appear more pink. I also have MAC Love Goddess, which is definitely a pinky red on me, but this is fuchsia.

Thanks for the great review I totally agree with the A+! I do not agree with you that is looks alot like Marilyn, Marilyn is much redder. At least mine is.
