Dior’s Crème Abricot and Crème de Rose

A horrible, tacky part of me wanted to start this review off with an oh-so-intended pun, telling my lovely readers that these two exciting Dior products truly were “La crème de la crème…”

… but I decided to spare you, even though they really are that wonderful. I mean, what’s there not to love?

Rich, velvety moisture? Check.

The scent of fresh rose petals or creamy apricots? Check.

Good investment, as a tiny $26 (Rose) or $24 (Abricot) jar will last you forever? Check.

Adorable retro packaging? Check, check, check!

Now onto the specifics...

Crème de Rose (Lip Balm):

As you can see, application is nice and sheer, with a touch of plumping and a little spf 10. The rose fragrance is neither overpowering, nor fuzzy. Lips will be left luxuriously soft and kissable.

Crème Abricot (Cuticle Cream):

 Now, this product has garnered a few complaints due to its very sticky texture. Applying it right before a busy day or a manicure might be irksome, so take it from me: use it only before bed. Apply a small amount to the tops of your finger tips and rub it into your nails and cuticles in circular motions. While you rest, the cream will have time to really get absorbed and work its magic, leaving both cuticles and nails smoother and healthier.

Final Verdict: Love it!
