The new Dior Addict Extreme lipsticks are lipsticks that are long(er) lasting with the glossy wet look. They are similar to the existing Addict lipsticks but not as sheer - these are more opaque and pigmented whilst still providing the glossy finish.
The packaging is very similar as well - the new Addict Extremes has a black case instead of the clear.
Lucky #536 is the promoted "Kate Moss" shade and is a vibrant blue based pink that is almost universal for all skintones. I love the texture of this lipstick - it is not as soft & fragile as the Addict lipsticks. On first application it reminded me of the Suqqu Creamy Glow Moist Lipsticks - it is so smooth and just glides across the lips.
The finish is a very dewy wet look without the stickiness of gloss - I have an aversion to gloss because I can't stand my hair sticking to my lips. As for lasting power, there is only so much that you can expect from a glossy lipstick. I would say it lasts about 3 to 4 hours on me, and then it leaves a colour stain behind on my lips (which I quite like). Lucky is beautiful and perfect for summer. I also bought Riviera and I will probably buy more when the "new" colours (St Tropez, Pink Icon, Holiday & Cruise) launches in the UK.

hm how does it compare to the suqqu after first application? I've heard it can be a bit drying? is the Suqqu worth the extra £3?

Stephanie - I'm assuming you mean the Suqqu permanent line. I've only tried the Suqqu spring lipsticks from this year which is a more sheer/glossy formula so it's hard to compare. I don't find the Dior ones drying though - I don't need to apply lip balm on a normal day until afternoon. I'd say, if you've been wanting to try the Suqqu lipsticks then go for it - the £3 difference is not a lot! Really depends on which colours you prefer. x
