@eleanorvousden for Who What Wear UKFor this review, I tried the shade Rosewood, which is a sheer muted pink. There are seven other shades in the collection, ranging from transparent to pink to coral and deep burgundy. So there is a shade for every skin tone and lip colour preference.
First things first, we need to talk about the formula. I personally feel that no other lip oil is as good as this one. The Dior Lip Glow Oil is enriched with cherry oil, which is particularly hydrating and leaves lips coated in a glossy lacquer that is neither sticky or greasy. It feels midway between a gloss and a lip balm, making it a great addition to keep in your handbag. And who wouldn't want to pull this luxe vial out of their bag? The packaging looks and feels chic, closing with a satisfying click as you twist the lid. It has a sweet yet minty scent, which isn't overwhelming by any means, it's only really noticeable if you hold it up to your nose.

The formula actually reacts with the moisture in your lips to leave you with a subtle tint upon application. But, it lasts well after the gloss has worn off, leaving you with a pretty stain hours later. Perfect if like me, you're quite low-maintenance with lip products and want a touch of colour without the faff of reapplying a lipstick. That being said, I enjoyed using this so much that I did top up every couple of hours to enjoy the hydrating and glossy effects.
It feels so luxurious to apply, partly due to the formula, but also the oversized doe-foot applicator, which is so cushiony that it hugs the lips as you swipe it across. It feels silly to get excited about an applicator, but trust me—it's a luxurious experience.

@eleanorvousden for Who What Wear UKAs you can see, the initial result is very glossy, and it has already given my lips a touch of colour. This lasted for an hour or so before most of the gloss started to disappear after eating and drinking. However, my lips still felt so hydrated. And as someone who always, always has dry lips (I'm never more than two metres away from a lip balm at any given point) this is somewhat of a miracle. I also liked that my lips still had a hint of colour to them (see below) even after the initial sheen had worn away.

So is the Dior Lip Glow Oil really worth it? If you're asking me, it's a hell yes. It's safe to say that I'm a Dior Lip Glow Oil convert. Not only is the formula beautiful, but I love the subtle tint and hydration that it gives my dry lips. I'll be considering what other shades to get next—scroll ahead to see the ones I'm shopping.
