DIOR ♥ Dior Addict #981 Ensorcelante Gloss Review + Swatches

I went through a phase of dark lippies obsess last winter and until now the thoughts of a dark lips look still lingers around from time to time. I have always been a pink, girly girl kind of person, I am not sure what is with the sudden personality change? Haha ~ 

Today I will be reviewing this beautiful, vampy shade of Dior Addict #981 Ensorcelante Gloss. 

Dior Addict #981 Ensorcelante Gloss

#981 Ensorcelante is another Dior Addict Gloss that I purchased from fellow blogger Beauty Reductionista, I had previously reviewed the same gloss in shade #772 Exquise.

Both #981 Ensorcelante and #772 Exquise are the first and only Dior Addict Gloss I own, I absolutely adore these glosses inside out, from its elegant packaging to its smooth and comfortable formula. Don't you just wish Dior beauty products' pricing aren't like, sky high?!

Dior Addict #981 Ensorcelante Gloss is part of the Dior Mystic Metallics Fall 2013 Collection, it is a Limited Edition gloss that is described as a plum shade. The color is a deep plum with a brown and red undertone and pink shimmers, it is quite vampy, yet wearable.

Dior Addict #981 Ensorcelante Gloss

Dior Addict Gloss comes packaged in a glass-like' tube with silver detailing, the details such as the name of the gloss and where this product is made (Dior Addict Gloss is made in France) is printed on a transparent sticker and it is stuck on the bottom of the gloss. This lip gloss comes with one of those brush type applicator for an easy and even application, the packaging overall looks and feels very high quality and elegant.

#981 Ensorcelante has a thick texture, it offers a semi-opaque coverage with one swipe and of course you can layer it for a more intense darken plum look. Ensorcelante looks true-to-color on the lips as from the tube, except that the pink shimmers shown in the tube is not visible on the lips, well, not really unless if you look closely.

This is the perfect lip color for winter and autumn, not sure of its formula though as it is always very windy in New Zealand. It doesn't matter how good quality a lip gloss is, gloss and wind can never be friends. #981 Ensorcelante is also a pretty shade to wear on a night out in summer, some people just prefers to be vampy all year round and there's nothing wrong with that.

Dior Addict #981 Ensorcelante Gloss definitely worn better than #772 Exquise, the gloss worn well for approximately three hours on me, I have only worn Ensorcelante without eating, not sure how it would last if I have lunch or dinner while wearing it. After three hours it does leaves a bit of stain before it fully fades away.

 Things I Dislike

#981 Ensorcelante is no longer available to purchase as it is a Limited Edition gloss from the Dior Mystic Metallics Fall 2013 Collection. It could be hard to find and if available on eBay or Amazon, people may charge you double to original price.
