Dior Créme de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm* is a product that I must admit I have lusted after for quite a long time but never quite got around to picking up it for one reason or another.
Aesthetically, the packaging is a girls dream. Understated, feminine and honestly just beautiful to carry around in your handbag, the Dior Créme de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm is one of those luxuries that you don't necessarily need to fork out on, but it is a lovely treat. The only downside for me, is that although I do love its simplicity, it is just plastic and for Christian Dior (and the £20 price tag) you'd hope that it had a little extra something about it.
Carrying a floral Rose note, this smells very grown up and is definitely one for you if you're into Rose scents. It does a beautiful job at hydrating, smoothing and softening your lips although I can't say I notice too much plumping, nor do I feel anything that normally resembles that the product has any plumping qualities.
It's become my go to lip balm that I apply throughout the day as well as at night time and find it has kept my lips as moisturised and free of chaps throughout the recent cold and windy days.
I had hoped that I would get a little bit of a Pinky tint to my lips after application, but unfortunately I don't get any colour pay off and it does just act as a pretty good, pretty packaged and pretty expensive lip balm.
Costing £20 for 7.2g of product, Dior Créme de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm is available to buy at Dior stocklists and on Escentual.

This is my absolute favorite lip balm! I bought it about a month ago and I'm obsessed. I love wearing it under darker colors to sheer them out as well! It's just such a great product.

Thanks for the frank post. I agree with you; I think it's a tad overpriced for what it is but nice to have nonetheless! Danielle x

I bought this lip balm about four months ago because I thought I could use it at night. I LOVED the smell when I first got it but I didn't really think it was too moisturizing. I just only used it for the smell until I found another lip balm that made my lips a lot moister! Yesterday I saw Creme de Rose in my drawer and I decided to use it again because I missed the smell. YUCK! It smelled awful...like very sour and old perfume. I was so disappointed but I guess it wasn't meant to last longer then a month!
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog and followed. I would be really chuffed if you said hi over at http://www.lippylikes.com Thank you for your honesty. I will cross this one off my wish lists .
ReplyDeleteshame their's no pink tint or plumping that it sounds lovely for normal moisturising :)

ReplyDeleteNuxe - Reve De Miel is my holy grail lip balm but i have been wanting this one for so so so long i just always put it off because of the price, dont get me wrong i dont mind spending £20 on a product i just feel the same as you, considering it is a Dior product it should be in slightly nicer packaging for the cost!

This looks lovely! My lips are so sore from the weather I don't think they need any more plumping with them already being swollen!
