When it comes to lip color, I like to keep things polished and natural. I was instantly intrigued when I discovered Dior Addict Lip Glow. This ingenious lip gloss responds to the color chemistry of your lips to create a colour that’s all your own. In addition, the handy little lip glow is moisturizing, includes SPF 10 and gives you nothing but natural color and shine. I heart customized colour.

Available at Dior beauty counters at The Bay and Holt Renfrew, $35
