Hey all,
I was at the airport yesterday going to Jordan and I saw this Lip Duo from Dior! I was planning to buy the Lip maximizer from Dior for a long time. Anyways, this set comes with the Lip Maximizer Collagen Activ and a Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm with SPF 10.

Colors/ Shades:
Looking at them, they are baby pink which is the universal color of all Dior's Glow collection that is known for it being the one that changes color depending on your chemistry and your body's temperature.
- Lip Maximizer No. 001
- Lip Glow No. 001 Rose
For the Lip Maximizer, it will be clear on your lips when applied even after a while.
For the Lip Glow, when applied, first, it would be slightly clear but then it would turn your lips to rose, baby pink shade. For me, they don't turn pink and react easily but on my sister, they sometimes turn hot pink on her lips which is amazing.

Pigmentation/Coverage:
The two shades are sheer because they are not pigmented with a specific color. For the Lip Glow, it will remain sheer even if it becomes darker on your lips.

Texture and Formula:
The Lip Maximizer is very glossy, smooth and not sticky at all which I really like but, when applied, after a while, you would feel a tingling sensation on your lips just like the other lip plumpers out there in the market. It smells like mint and very medicine like which I don't appreciate.
The Lip Glow, on the other hand, is amazing. It is very smooth and moisturizing because it's a balm and it is very hydrating. It also smells minty but much much better than the lip maximizer. It has an SPF 10, which is always a great thing because, our lips need sun protection too.

Longevity:
Without eating and drinking, they could last for about one hour. The first time I applied the Lip Maximizer, I couldn't keep it for more than thirty minutes because I was very uncomfortable with the tingling sensation but the second time, I kept it for one hour. As far as the Lip Glow balm is concerned, it lasts pretty well but I keep reapplying every hour or so just because I love it so much and keep repurchasing over and over again.

My Opinion:
For the Lip Maximizer, in real life, it didn't plump well my lips but in pictures, my lips looked bigger and plumped. Any ways, I am not a big fan of such product in general therefore, I don't care for it.
On the other hand, I LOVE the Lip Glow Balm, it's incredible. I am really addicted and my sister does too.
