Dior Taupe Ispahan & Midnight Corolle Diorific Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Taupe Ispahan (076)
Dior Taupe Ispahan (076) Diorific Lipstick ($40.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a subdued, darker reddish-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a luminous, cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which delivered even, smooth coverage with a formula that softened and smoothed out most of my lip lines. It was also quite forgiving of imperfections in lip texture!
The consistency was lightweight, emollient and thinner without being clingy. It stayed on nicely for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$40.00/0.12 oz. - $333.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "high-color" and "long-hold." The shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque, though it depended on the shade as some were overly emollient, which resulted in sheerer, more uneven coverage. Most shades were smooth, lightweight, and creamy without being too slippery, so they applied evenly, softened the look of lip lines, and were comfortable to wear.
They lasted between four and six hours and felt hydrating while worn. The formula was floral-scented with a very slight taste at times, though I did not consistently taste it.

Taupe Ispahan (076)
LELimited Edition. $40.00.
Midnight Corolle (077)
Dior Midnight Corolle (077) Diorific Lipstick ($40.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a rich plum with cooler undertones and a luminous sheen. It had medium to semi-opaque, buildable color coverage, but it was never fully opaque.
The texture was moderately emollient with more slip than others I’ve tried in the formula, which resulted in less even application of color and product settling more noticeably into my lip lines. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Cries Taupe Ispahan is so my color and the packaging is BEAUTIFUL!!
These both look really beautiful! Even though Midnight Corolle isn’t fully opaque, it still looks quite tempting. It makes me think of winter back East!
You’ll get there, girl. I always laugh at the term ‘back east.’ At UCSB waaay BITD, someone told me he lived back east….Las Vegas. Yup. F’real. Colorado and Arizona also counted as back east. These people got degrees. Hmmm.
KJH, goodness only knows that I hope and pray so!
They must be directionally challenged if they think AZ or Colorado is “back East”! That’s actually hilarious 😂
Taupe Ispahan is just a perfect shade – gorgeous.
I love both of these shades. My preference is for the Midnight Corolle but Taupe Ispahan is beautiful also and a Temptalia Recommends is the cherry on the top. Will probably pick it up for my daughter. It is right in her wheelhouse of lipstick shades.
I really like both, a lot!
I’m a bit surprised as I generally don’t care much for brownness in lipsticks, but it seems like such a great colour for a warmer look. I looked at all the dupes, but hadn’t any of them on my WL, it must be the finish that makes this one so special.
Midnight Corolle may not be perfect, but it is absolutely gorgeous.
Both made it to my WL, I just wish Dior wasn’t quite so expensive, but hey, could be worse, the could have been Tom Ford. 🙂
