Dior Ultra Love & Ultra Loud Ultra Rouge Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Ultra Love (770)
Dior Ultra Love (770) Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep, coral-red with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in a single layer, while the texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and balm-like, as it skated across my lips with ease. It applied evenly, though it didn’t seem to smooth out my natural lip texture as much as other shades in the same formula have done. It stayed on nicely for six hours, left a faint stain behind, and was moisturizing.

Formula Overview
$37.00/0.11 oz. - $336.36 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "incredibly long-wearing" with "12 hour" wear paired with an "ultra-comfortable" feel and "high-pigmentation." First and foremost, no, it doesn't last 12 hours, and most shades don't come close--they last between four and six hours typically. There were a few, like deeper reds, that still had some product remaining after eight hours, but the lighter shades never made it through the meal. They have a very creamy consistency, balm-like, and within 30 to 45 seconds, they develop a slight cling, almost like a film, but it wasn't actually clingy or uncomfortable--I could just tell that there was a texture change as it "set." However, the "setting" of this formula just has that feeling, but the product would still transfer onto a glass or disappear during a meal.
Most of the shades were semi-opaque to opaque and applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging or dragging. Some shades were more smoothing than others, but most shades looked flattering over my natural lip texture. The formula was lightweight, comfortable, and lightly to moderately hydrating over time. They had a heavy, powdery, floral scent that was noticeable for the first half hour of wear, though I didn't notice any taste.

PPermanent. $37.00.
Ultra Loud (679)
Dior Ultra Loud (679) Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a bright, fuchsia pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a cream finish. It seemed extremely pigmented when swatched, but there was more slip to the texture, which resulted in more semi-opaque, slightly uneven coverage. I was surprised as fuchsia hues seem fairly easy to do by most brands, so the room for improvement on this shade was unexpected. The consistency was balm-like and smooth, but it was slippery even after that initial “setting” period of the formula and was harder to keep in place, though I didn’t experience feathering personally. It lasted for five and a half hours on me but was hydrating while worn.

I really love Love! It made me immediately think of it as that perfect cherry red shade that looks so good on us olive folks during summertime when we get a a more golden hue going on!
As for Loud…not a shade that I could pull off even if the quality were there. And, it’s not.
Love the first shade, but not the second. These are too expensive to not get an A+.
