Dior Beauty’s spring collection has arrived with a number of fresh and radiant pieces, all perfect for a make-up refresh this year. I picked up a number of pieces, including the newly formulated Addict Lip Glow Oils, Forever Skin Bronze Sticks, several cheek products, and Dior’s latest fragrance launch. After taking some time to test everything extensively, I finally have my review today!
New Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
Dior has reformulated the Addict Lip Glow Oil ($42 each, Dior, Sephora, Nordstrom, Ulta Beauty) and they now come in a slightly different texture with three finishes.
- Juicy has a glass-like sheen with a transparent finish + tint
- Glaze has more pigment with a soft color payoff
- Sparkly has a glitter finish with small micro sparkles
These are designed to be pH reactive, but most stayed true to the color of the tube on my lips. Sparkling and juicy colors go on transparent, while the Glaze formula is more pigmented with medium coverage.
The new formula feels slightly thinner, making them easier and more comfortable to wear on my lips. They still have that soft oil feel with intense shine. I also find them more hydrating than the original version.
My favorites are Latte, Black Cherry, Cherry, Minty and Fizzy Pink (this one is exclusive to Dior.com).
Eau de perfume Dior Addict
The new Dior Addict Eau de Parfums ($98 to $120) is bright, fun and youthful. The scents are more like a body splash than a super strong perfume, but they still have very good lasting power on my skin. Rosy Glow is hands down my personal favorite (I’ve already finished an entire bottle).
- Rosy Glow has rose and lychee. It is fruity fresh and creamy
- Peachy Glow is sweet like peaches and cream with sweet vanilla notes and jasmine
- Purple Glow is a fruity raspberry scent.
Backstage Rosy Glow Blush
I purchased four of the cheek products from the collection, all of which appear to be exclusive to Dior.com in the US.
I really love the Backstage Rosy Glow Blushes ($42 each, Dior.com). The new shades in Ultra Pink and Orange Fizz are both beautiful! Ultra Pink is very bright and seems to be more pigmented than the rest of the colors in this formula. This requires a bit more blending for me. Orange Fizz is the softer option. It’s an orange peach, but it blends into a more natural, peachy look.
Spring cheek colors
Dior Forever Glow Luminizer in Sugar Cane ($55, Dior.com) is one of the most unique highlighters I’ve ever tried. It’s so unique with a champagne base that flashes pink and blue in an almost duochrome way. I thought it might be a little too trendy for me, but I really like the way the glow shifts on the skin.
The new shade Rouge Blush in Candyfloss ($51, Dior.com) is also a winner for me. This one has an embossed powder overlay with the Dior logo, but underneath is a soft peach color. The application on my cheeks shows a little more shine from the overspray, but the actual powder underneath still has some micro glitter flecks. On my cheeks it looks more satiny/matte than glossy, but the shine is noticeable in a very subtle way. I’m really happy that this shows up on my skin!
Forever Skin Bronze
The Dior Forever Skin Bronze Bronzing Balm Sticks ($52 each, Dior, Sephora, Nordstrom, Ulta) are probably the best bronzing sticks I’ve tried. I feel like the warmth of these makes them more wearable on my skin tone. I usually wear Shade 03 Light Medium, but I’m more into my winter skin tone now. Color 04 stands out better for a more bronzed look.
The Forever Skin Bronzer is more transparent than the Dior Contour Sticks, making them easier to blend out for a natural look. I also think the colors are much easier to wear compared to the contour sticks. The packaging is nice with the textured tube.

Sugar Crush Lips
There are two lip colors in a slightly shimmery champagne called Sugar Crush in the Dior Addict formula ($48, Dior.com) and Addict Lip Maximizer ($42, Dior.com). I love a good shine, but I would say these are a pass because of the sheer finish. The shine is noticeable, but a little too subtle for my taste.
That concludes my Dior spring harvest! I think this is the best spring launch so far this year. PS For those who follow me on Instagram, I’m doing a giveaway that runs now through Saturday evening in this post here!
