Each color has a really luxe, upscale vibe and a gorgeous diamond-like effect. As soon as they launched at Sephora, I noticed many of their cast members swatching these seven new über sparkly shades… and I wanted in!

Coming to Saks Fifth Avenue in March and also available at Dior.com, you will be pleased with its precision (be sure to check out here >> the new shades of Dior Spring 2013 Dior Addict Lip Glosses).
