Even when eating and drinking coffee. My only tripe was that it dried *really* quickly, which meant smudges were tricky to clear up. But overall., I’m fan-enough to wear it to every festive party in my calendar.

The easy, buttery texture of this made this a treat to apply, with it packing a pigmented punch and drying down quickly. I tried the shade Fascinating, a gorgeous velvety orangey brown with delicious copper undertones that were brought out after pressing your lips together.
I love a beauty gimmick, especially one that doesn’t mean a compromise on quality or comfort, with this applying just as well as any other liquid lipstick would. And though I don’t pretend to understand the magic behind how they manage to make this glitter once you press your lips together, I’m most definitely here for it, with it feeling like a luxe update of Ciate’s Glitter Flip. This makes for an adorable festive lip, though at £39 this is definitely a beauty investment.

With the festive season approaching, this Dior Liquid Lipstick couldn’t have come at a better time. I tried the shade Magical, a deep plum colour with purple and blue-toned shimmer. ‘Magical’ is an apt name because the effect this lipstick gives is pure magic in a bottle. After applying it to my lips, I rubbed them together and could see the specks of shimmer appearing in front of my eyes – it’s so cool.
I did find it a little tricky to get neat lines considering you have to rub your lips together, but I’m willing to forgive that because of the wow factor. If you’re the type of person who likes to make a statement in party season, this lipstick is for you. And if you have a makeup-lover on your gifting list then this will seriously impress them.
