Four different textures and 36 lip shades make up the complete lipstick range from Ellis Faas. Each product was designed to be used in multiple ways and flatters every skin tone perfectly. After trying each product I selected my favourite shades and created this guide to help you choose yours. So let's get started!

Creamy Lips

The Creamy Lip Range

This dreamy cream textured lipstick offers a traditional coverage with a long-wearing result. Light on the lip gives your lips a boost of vitamin E.

Its cushion applicator is very simple to use. Start by releasing a small amount of product to draw the lips and then fill them in with more product.

Using the brush application, apply a small amount of fluid to the lip. Then either fill in the lip or tap it on for a matte stained look.

Glazed Lips

The Glazed Lips Range

My Opinion

-Little transfer.

-Economical.

-Colour popping.

I recently reviewed Ellis Faas Unforgettable Set and it is a must-have. I love how one set has a highlighter, blush, mascara, and lipstick. The packaging is gorgeous and so are the formulas.

The new launches include fresh and delectable new shades and new finishes in response to the need of every woman. “The 10 new shades in the Dior Lip Glow Collection provide a palette gradation of pinks to suit every skin tone.” Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Make-up. The new glow squad now includes:

Dewy – 001 Pink, 004 Coral, 005 Lilac, 006 Berry, 007 Raspberry, 008 Ultra-Pink

Holographic – 009 Holo Purple, 010 Holo Pink

Matte – 102 Matte Raspberry

The Lip Glow Dewy is my most used and loved formula since last few years. It is something that I have in my handbag as well as my desk and vanity. It is very comfortable to wear and is a savior for my dry lips, it gives the most natural tint. These have a color adjusting quality and soft hydrating feel on the lips. These will appear different on everyone's lips due to its self-adjusting color reviver technology based on everyone's lip chemistry.

The Lip Glow Matte is like a tinted balm with a blurring effect that enhances lips without giving the impression of wearing makeup. It has nourishing properties due to the formula enriched with mango butter and cranberry oil.The shade on my lips gives a light flush pink velvety matte finish. The formula is a little drying on my dry lips but the natural pink tint it gives to my lips is really pretty, maybe I should always scrub my lips before using this, for the sake of the pretty pink.

The Lip Glow Holo has an iridescent effect and a radiant finish. The formula has an iridescence that reflects the light differently. The formula is comfortable to wear and the holographic shimmering radiance with a discrete touch of iridescence for the illusion of enhanced lips, which still looks very natural and subtle.

Overall, I am a big fan of Dior Lip Glow Balm's and more additions to the line means more options to choose from. I would highly recommend you to check these out, they are worth checking out if you have never tried these. And If you have already tried them, you will understand what I mean by saying I am a long time fan. I have also reviewed the Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer Glow Addict Edition and 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette Glow Addict Edition which are both limited edition and from the Spring 2018 Collection here.

Dior Addict Lip Glow Collection in all the finishes is available at Sephora, Hudson's Bay, BeautyBoutique, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and all other Dior retailers.

The formula of Hollywood lips is creamy like the consistency of a wet mousse. It could be difficult to apply in the starting but once you get the hold of it, it is not a problem. The packaging is nice, the curved foot doe applicator is very smooth when it touches the lips but you have to be careful in defining the lips unless you are using a lip liner. The formula does not dry quickly, for me it took around 10-15 minutes to dry which is an issue for some but the finish is quite okay. The formula has a fragrance which is very subtle but pleasant. After drying, the formula did dry out my lips which I could feel but not much noticeable when looked at. After more than an hour, the color stayed on well but my lips feel dry for which I had to reach for my clear lip balm to make my lips feel comfortable.

There is a nice range of shades in this collection, I have swatched Pin Up Pink and Best Actress for your reference below.

Best Actress – Creamy Nude Brown (Upper)

Pin Up Pink – Shimmery Coral Pink Matte (Lower)

The formula is buildable and does not cakes or cracks on the lips apart from the drying feel as explained above. I found once dry it appears slightly darker then it looks immediately after application. Overall, the shade range is good and it did not make my lips look flat. I did a review and swatches of few of my favorites from the Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick here if you are interested. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Collection is available at Charlotte Tilbury Canada, Charlotte Tilbury US,  Cult Beauty, and Holt Renfrew.
