Sarah Jessica Parker Always Carries This Lip Gloss on Set

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of movie and TV show sets? You might assume it’s all glitz and glamour, even when the cameras aren’t rolling, but that’s not always the case. Turns out the stars are handling everyday tasks and schlepping their own bags from location to location. How do I know this? Well, Sarah Jessica Parker is giving us the inside scoop in an Instagram Reel where she shows off her set bag and all of its contents.

In the Reel, the And Just Like That actress gets candid about set life while giving followers a ‘what’s in my purse’  tour. She fits quite a bit into her tote bag, though there’s one particular item that jumps out at me: the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Gloss. I wouldn’t expect the Carrie Bradshaw to wear anything less luxurious. “Don’t know why I have lip gloss cause I’ve got a professional makeup artist on set and she’s got plenty, but there you have it,” Parker jokes.

This Dior lip gloss has gained a cult-like following for its velvety, non-sticky formula that subtly plumps your pout while imparting glass-like color. The lightweight gloss is packed with hyaluronic acid and cherry oil to deeply nourish lips and keep them moisturized for a full 24 hours. With two dozen hues to choose from — including clear, intense, shimmering and holographic finishes — there’s a shade that beautifully complements your features, regardless of your skin tone.

I’ll admit that the $40 price tag was an initial turn off, but after trying (and loving) the formula, I can wholeheartedly say this gloss is worth it — and over 2,000 Nordstrom shoppers agree. Many report they’ve ended up buying multiple shades to have the perfect hue for every occasion.

“I bought intense spice, intense rosewood and intense rose,” one reviewer explains. “Intense spice and intense rosewood are great nudes for everyday. Intense rose is a warm pink, which I love. Staying power is great for a gloss, but it is a gloss, so you will need to reapply it throughout the day. I find these to be very moisturizing and mildly tingly — they feel cool upon application. Overall, they’re solid, substantial lip glosses.”

Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw with SJP’s favorite pick. It has been her mainstay for more than seven months of filming, and it has the potential to become your all-time favorite — trust me, it’s already my go-to for the perfect pout.
