Dior Holiday 2011: Or Etoile Rouge Dior Lip Color
Dior Or Etoile (217) Rouge Dior Lip Color ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is one of four new and limited edition holiday lip colors from Dior. This shade is a sheer, warm yellow gold with pale gold shimmer. It has a high-shine finish. On lips, it brightens and lightens, while adding warmth and shimmer, but as expected from its sheer swatch, it doesn’t provide much color. I couldn’t think of a lipstick that was quite like this, but it was reminiscent of MAC Luxure, which is a lipgloss, though it is not as warm. NARS Albatross, which is another lipgloss, is also very similar, but it has a glossier finish.
Though Dior lists it as long-wearing, I’d have to disagree; Or Etoile seems to disappear after three hours! The formula on this one is creamy enough to glide across lips and deposits a healthy amount of shimmer on the lips. On the upside, for such a frosted color, it didn’t feel drying over the three hours I wore it.

lovely color from Dior but I’m not such a fan of frosted lipsticks though… it does look sheer from the swatch.
It is a sheer shade!
Hi this resembles illamasqua’s Kindle sheer lipgloss.
Thanks for letting us know!
I didn’t think I would like this, but seeing it on you changed my mind…I think I’m too pale to get away with it alone like you do so beautifully, but I bet it would look amazing highlighting a red lipstick or even added to a blush…I may have to go to Nordy’s and try it out myself 😀
Ooh, double up and use it as a highlighter on cheeks… very interesting!
I can see this being an excellent layering shade. If I want subtle gold lipstick perhaps I should grab Shu Uemura’s Glitter Fuse instead.
Thank you for the review, Christine! You’ve been really helpful. 🙂
Yep – both shades are nice, just slightly different!
Very pretty. I think I might pick this up to wear over some deeper lip stains that I have.
That’s a good idea!
I thought I would hate this, but it actually looks quite pretty! I like to wear long-wear red lipsticks (the ones you have to paint on lol) and this looks like just the thing to put over them for the holidays!
Oh yes, it’d be lovely over reds!
What makeup do you have one? Do you mind giving a breakdown? You just look so great, I have to know 🙂
It’s just Chanel Beige Lame on the eyelid, Chanel Tweed Brun on cheeks. It’s really nothing!
This lipstick looks rather weird in the tube. I don’t think I would pay attention to a lipstick that looks yellow at a make-up counter. It looks pretty on the lips though, but it’s too expensive in my opinion.
The price one has to pay to buy Dior, I guess!
OMG such a pretty colour!!! I absolutely adore it. I also love whatever foundation you have on as well as your cheek colour. What are you wearing?
I think it’s Guerlain Lingerie de Peau for foundation, Chanel Tweed Brun for cheeks.
Pretty, and festive enough for the holidays. 🙂
i don’t think $32 is justified for a bit of gold shimmer :/
It’s Dior, so you’ll always pay more for it!
I think layering this over a red would look really pretty for the holidays.
Agreed!
I just love how you manage to smile and look great no matter how the products works or if the product is nice! You are a true professional 😉
Thank you, Lilly!
When I saw the first picture, I was excited and then immediately wary because I knew such an awesome color would have little pigmentation 🙁
It looks gorgeous on you!!! Just brightens up your whole face!
Beautiful, beautiful <3
Thanks, Alicia!
This color looks great on you! What is your blush color and foundation? It all comes together so nicely.
I think it’s Guerlain Lingerie de Peau and Chanel Tweed Brun.
I actually really love the look of this. I’m afraid I’ll have to skip it though, since it’s so expensive. 🙁
I know NYX put out several shades of glittery lipsticks, so maybe they’ll have something more affordable!
meeehhh definitely passing on this one
hhmmm looking at the pictures I would’ve never thought it would look so pretty on! I love this on you! With some gloss on top! i think it would be so pretty! 🙂 Thanks Christine for another awesome review!
Yep – I think if you wore it alone, I’d probably slick gloss on top 🙂
This is a product I just don’t understand. Do they mean for it to be worn alone? I think it would look better layered over something else. It’s basically non-existent, except for some gold shimmer. I’ll pass. Thank you for the review, though!
You could wear it alone, you could wear it with a little gloss on top for extra shimmer (and a bit longer wear than a sheer gloss), or to layer underneath/on top other colors.
I usually hate lipsticks like this, but this is actually stunning!!
Haha, a surprise hit!
What are you wearing on your cheeks Christine? You look so fresh and glowing!
Chanel Tweed Brun!
reminds me of mac sunsational from style warriors
uhh my mac lip gelee does a 100times better job than this crappy lipstick can do…
Though gloss and lipstick are different, some may prefer one over the other! I find that the glittery Lip Gelees are SUPER glittery, though, and the effect can be a bit over the top, but this is more understated. Just depends on what you like 🙂
umm…I think this reminds me of MAC slimshine in voile which is discontinued.
I could see that – though the finish would look different since Voile would be super glossy!
This looks a LOT like the MAC slimshine in “voile” which is unfortunately discontinued…luckily I have a backup 🙂
Lucky you 🙂
very pretty, reminds me of Benefit 24K Sexy Gold Lipstick! but it’s a little pricey :/ would you know of any good dupes?
I listed any and all dupes I could thimk of in the post and in the FAQ!
Do you know where you can buy it? The whole collection I mean. I searched on the internet, but found nothing.
Hope you can help me! 🙂 thanks.
I am not sure! 🙁
