Here is a universal truth — it is nearly impossible to finish a lip balm. An even bigger impossibility is finding said lip balm before it vanishes into the depths of one’s bag or drawer. Could this laissez-faire attitude be tied to how much one has invested in the balm itself?
The Rouge Dior Floral Care Lip Balm is the solution to relieve one from a graveyard of lip balms long forgotten. A weighty stick encaged within the CD initials case containing a rich peony and pomegranate flower extract; a dark-as-midnight plastic core that closes with a satisfying ASMR-worthy click — a couture piece to be cherished like any of the house’s leather goods.

Peter Philips, the creative and image director of Christian Dior Makeup has much to say about the lip balm and there is a lot to love. “The best part of this balm is firstly in its refill packaging. Simply buy the refill once you’re done and it’s one step forward towards sustainability. Secondly, the formula is amazing. A formula with 95% natural ingredients that guarantee 24 hours of hydration. The Rouge Dior Floral Care Lip Balm is the best you can expect from a lip balm.”
While any product of such natural origins can and should be used as much as possible as it can on different parts of one’s body — a cuticle balm, an eye cream or as a highlight on the cheekbones for a natural glow — the purity of the Rouge Dior Floral Care Lip Balm’s formula and design is what makes it so covetable. A piece of practical artwork lying inconspicuously on one’s counter.

“After we launched the Lipglow line — one of the world’s best selling lip balms with specific formula that tints — we thought there was something missing. An easy to apply lip balm formula with a sheer and satin-like finish. Backstage at the Dior Men’s Fall/Winter ’21 show, we apply thr Rouge Dior Floral Care Lip Balm very richly on the boys and take a Kleenex tissue to dab it down. They love it because it’s not sticky, invasive or present. They forget that they’re even wearing it,” says Philips.
However, the best way to prevent one from a constant need to apply it (yet another impossibility in this story) is to simply stop puffing on a cancer stick if one has that habit. “It helps your skin to look more luminous with no more greyness and more dark eye circles. Everything tastes and smells better like your food or clothes. It’s obvious after two to three weeks,” shares Philips.
This story about the Rouge Dior Floral Care Lip Balm and its merits by Peter Philips first appeared in the April 2021 issue of Men’s Folio Singapore.
