Dior Addict lipstick travel collection

Mama pirate was kind enough to help me pick up a few toys during her recent trip to Asia.

 
When I was in Calgary, I was somehow convinced (more liked bullied *ahem* Justine *ahem*) into buying my first Dior Addict lipstick. I have to concede that despite its high price, it was love at first use, so when I saw this travel exclusive set I had to have it.
For US$77 you get 3 Dior Addict lippies. Converted that's about CAN$75, making them $25 each. As Sephora Canada sells these at $31 plus tax, I reckoned the set was quite a deal.
Inside you get 3 full sized lipsticks, the colours are #579 Must-Have, #680 Millie, and #222 Beige Casual. I think Must-Have is a Dior counter exclusive?
Too much prettiness.

Dior Addict lipsticks have a very high shine, almost jelly like finish that feels wonderful on this old pirate's pruney lips. I absolutely adore its moisturising formula. The pigmentation is meant to be sheer but much more intense than the Rouge Coco Shines which I feel are glorified lipbalms. 
Lasting power is around 3 hours, after that it begins to fade gradually.

All in all, a very good purchase!
Now they're all gonna hang out and make some pretty babies.

    GORGEOUS! And I think that IS quite a deal although that's nearly $100 for 3 lipsticks! LOL But in true Dior fashion, these probably retail for wayy more and you get 3 very wearable colors. :) Nice!

    Such pretty natural shades! I think I like the Millie one the best although the beige would look great with smokey eye looks.
