Welcome back to the Velvet Runway and my review of the Diorific mat lipstick. I am really loving this limited edition Dior lipstick, which comes from Dior’s State of Gold Holiday 2015 Collection.
New in my make-up bag: Diorific mat lipstick
This collection has four Diorific Mat Velvet Lipsticks of which my favourite (shown here), number 750 “Fabuleuse” , a stunning cool-toned classic red colour, completely deserves its name!
My thoughts
Texture and ease of application
As with all of the Diorific range, the lipstick is easy to apply and glides on smoothly. This colour is absolutely gorgeous and has a beautiful velvety matte finish, thanks to the incorporation of a soft and velvety silicon powder. The formula also includes three nourishing oils to ensure a creamy, hydrating texture which doesn’t cause the lips to dry out.
The lipstick is slightly scented (I think it is a rose scent), which I personally like, but if you don’t like scented lipsticks then this would not be for you.
Presentation
As in previous years, the packaging comprises a gold casing, which I absolutely adore! It looks beautiful on my dressing table!
Staying power
On me, this lipstick easily lasts over 4 hours, depending on my activities. I put it to the test at the gym and at a restaurant and this is what I found:
At the gym: the lipstick did not budge, even after an hour’s workout (maybe this is as much a reflection on the intensity of my workout as on the lipstick, but I was very happy with the result!)
Eating and drinking: I tried this twice. The first time I had a drink and a meal about half an hour after applying the lipstick and although the lipstick did not fade during the drink; it did need a re-application after eating. However the second time I applied the lipstick about 2 hours before eating and it didn’t need any re-application.
Overall, I have to confess to being very impressed with the staying power of this lipstick.
Stockists
This is no longer available on the Dior site, as they have now brought out their Spring 2016 edition, but you can still get it at most major Dior counters in department stores.
And, have a look above at a few more lipsticks in the Dior range that you might like to try.
I hope you enjoyed this feature about the Diorific Mat Lipstick, and have a look here for more of our beauty features.

Yes, the staying power is pretty good and I love Dior too. Somedays I add a bit of gloss, but other days I like the matte finish – depends on my mood 🙂
Beautiful color! I have never bought a Dior lipstick but maybe now I will 🙂
Yes, the color is beautiful and it lasts really well. Dior isn’t cheap but it’s worth it 🙂
