The luxury original: Dior Addict Lip Glow, $42

What matches: The same color trick: Red 21, the dye that turns Dior's balm a personal shade on the lips, is in both, and Physicians Formula adds Red 27.

What it does worse: Both are wax sticks with caprylic/capric triglyceride, diisostearyl malate, shea butter, menthol and ethyl vanillin. Dior's base is plant oils and waxes (sunflower, jojoba esters, candelilla, rice bran) with cherry seed oil; Physicians Formula's is synthetic and microcrystalline wax, with a plumping complex of methyl nicotinate and capsicum that warms and tingles, and diamond powder and mica for shine.
