Addiction Lipstick Confiture
Confiture? How could you not want this lipstick! The colour really is that bright in real life (picture above) but it has a sheer and glossy formulation, therefore, once applied it rather gives a hint of a yellow based orange hue. It depends on your lip pigmentation, how this colour will look on you. The texture is interesting, the lipstick itself feels very solid (not buttery or soft) but goes on very balmy (not slippery). As mentioned, it is very sheer but still has enough colour to show up after one swipe. The staying power is about an hour on me, it leaves a very soft peachy orange tint on my lips. It doesn’t have a scent.
As you can see from the swatches above, Confiture changes its colour, on my arm swatches: up to seven layers (left), three layers (right), one layer (comparison swatch), two layers (lip swatch). Due to my lip pigmentation and tendency to pull everything more pink, it looks quite peachy orange on me. I really like the not over the top glossy finish (or sheen). Addiction’s sheer lipstick formulations also work great as a blush. I don’t need to mix them with vaseline or RMSBeauty Lip&Skin Balm to achieve a healthy (to me: with a soft sheen or satin), non drying finish. Confiture lasts all day on my cheeks.
I have it for quite long now and as you can see it looks barely touched, even though it is sheer and you need more swipes, the solid lipstick texture allows the lipstick to live longer. I also haven’t noticed any build-up, the more you apply, the more colour you get (obviously) but you won’t have a ton of product on your lips. It also feels very comfortable. If you have dry lips and are looking for a sheer but still visible lipstick, I highly recommend taking a look at Addiction’s sheer lipsticks (they other lipsticks are nice as well by the way).
this color looks very pretty on you!
it is interesting this can be used as blush, too. i’ve always wanted something like that. i am not very familiar with the addiction brand but it sounds very promising. love the square packaging as well!
Addiction also has a lip and cheek stick, those sticks have more colour than the sheer lipsticks. This brand has hits and misses like every other brand but the products I kept are ‘love’ for sure
The packaging feels ok, I have all the e/s in their larger case, looks very neat and classy.
I really want to try something from the brand, especially the ls! Such a pretty colour on you, I love the glossy finish too
.
I think this particular colour will be hard to pull of on some skintones (yellow, olive), it harmonizes very well with my cool complexion though. They also have some very nice reds in their collection
The color looks beautiful, and you have lovely shaped lips. I’m not familiar with this brand. I’m also eyeing that Dior shade, gorgeous!
Thank you
I do have a bit of an uneven lipline, which isn’t that noticeable irl, in pics everything looks worse, lol. The Dior addict exremes are great, I am not a fan of the regular addicts. Riviera is a pretty coral on me, reminds me of a summer evening.
I have read so much about Addiction! The swatch and the colour on your lips look so different. How interesting, and beautiful too
Addiction is a brand worth checking out for sure
yes, that’s pretty normal for me, lol. I have to say, I like the colour the most (once applied on my lips). My soft mauvey lips pull the colour more peachy orange than yellow orange. It really reminds me of a yummy confiture
