Glossy lips with the help of a lip gloss such as the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Lip Gloss or the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil were my wish when I looked around for the two options at Dior Beauty. I would like to tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of both options and give you my personal impression.
I couldn’t decide which version was better for me and so I opted for both lip gloss and lip oil versions. Maybe you’re also wondering which gloss is better and I’ll be happy to give you my opinion.
Full lips with the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss
The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss is not only a glossy lip gloss that can be worn under or over lipstick or on its own, it also adds volume to the lips.
The thicker lips or plumper lips are not only visual due to the glossy effect, but the lips are better supplied with blood and therefore naturally plumper.
The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss is known as a plumping lip gloss with an immediate volumizing effect and additional long-lasting moisturizing care. The long-lasting formula consists of cherry oil and hyaluronic acid.
Application of Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss
The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss is applied precisely with the foam applicator. If you wear the lip gloss without additional lipstick, I would use a lip liner beforehand, depending on the color.
The lip gloss smells pleasantly of mint and also tastes slightly of mint chewing gum. You can immediately feel that the lip gloss is working. The lips appear cooler and tingle slightly, causing them to swell.
Intense blueberry sheer 040 – Dior Lipgloss color
I opted for an intense color with the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss, but there are also many color options in subtle colors.
Intense blueberry sheer 040 is a dark red that comes in a transparent case with a silver screw-on lid. There is a beautiful silver Dior logo on the case, which stands out noticeably in relief.
On the lips, the color is even better than I imagined. It is really opaque without any additional lipstick. The color looks more like raspberry or strawberry on its own, but no longer like blueberry, as in the case.
The lips immediately look even and nourished after the first use. The cool feeling stays on the lips even longer than I know it from similar lip volume lip glosses.
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Lipgloss
The new colors, which now also leave an intense, holographic and shimmering impression on the lips, are also interesting.
If you apply another lipstick or lip gloss after the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss, you should dab the product off a little before applying the next layer of lipstick to your lips.
The slightly tingling sensation remains even after dabbing. The lips feel nourished and plumper for the next few hours. The slightly sticky base is perfect for applying more lip color.
Nourished, shiny lips with the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil lip oil
The Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil is known to be nourishing, ultra-shiny and color-intensifying for the lips. With an extremely nourishing formula, the lips are softened and intensively protected by cherry oil.

The case is also transparent but with easier Dior lettering. It immediately looks a little more like a care product and the case is shorter and thicker than the Lip Maximizer.
A wider foam applicator for application is attached to the silver cap with ball. The smell and taste is slightly sweeter and the mint is less dominant. The lip oil also runs a little, but you don’t see it immediately, as with intensely opaque colors.
The Cherry Oil feels thicker on the lips, but not sticky. You can feel and see this kind of protective layer, like a coat of varnish. The lips look smooth and shiny, without the tingling sensation of the Maximizer.
006 Berry – Dior Lip Glow Cherry Oil
I was also interested in the darkest berry color of this Lip Glow Oil and you can immediately see that the color is really only a hint on the lips.
With Dior’s Maximizer, the color is more intense and more noticeable. However, this is not a negative aspect for me, but rather an easy way to achieve a different kind of effect and care effect.
The feeling on the lips is very pleasant and the oil does not run, although I really expected this. The lip oil beautifies the lips and emphasizes the natural lip color.
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil Lip Oil
You can use the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil as a primer when you dab it on, or as a top coat, and of course you can also use it on its own. Even if it doesn’t enlarge the lips, they immediately appear smoother and more glossy without being sticky or greasy.
The product promises beautiful-looking lips after five days of use, even without lipstick. You can literally feel that the lips are extremely nourished and enriched by the care ingredients. An all-rounder that is visibly good for the lips.
Conclusion and comparison – Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Lip Gloss Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil Lip Oil
Liquid lip glosses, lip balms and lip oils are popular for various reasons. They offer intensive moisturizing care, which is particularly important for dry and chapped lips. Their formulas are often enriched with nourishing ingredients that keep lips soft and supple.
They also provide instant volume and a plump look to the lips, which is particularly attractive for those who want a natural lip enhancement without lip fillers.
My personal impression: the Lip Oil makes my lips look more nourished and the Maximizer makes them look plumper and more revitalized.
Both the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer lip gloss and the Dior Lip Glow lip balm are first-class lip care products that offer intensive moisturizing care and an immediate volumizing effect. While the lip gloss is known for its full and plump appearance, the lip balm impresses with its glossy finish and natural coloring.
Ultimately, the choice between these two products comes down to personal preferences and needs. Whether you opt for the intense shine of the lip gloss or the subtle color of the lip balm, one thing is certain: with Dior, you are always on the safe side when it comes to perfect lip care.
