Dior Lip Glow

Sometimes lipstick is too much for a certain look. Lip gloss or lip balm are the solution, of course, but they aren’t always perfect. They can be a little too colorful, when you want something natural or a little too sheer when you want to stand out.

That’s why I absolutely love Dior’s Lip Glow. Though it looks like a light pink, its unique chemistry will cause it to react differently to everyone’s unique skin color, yet still look very natural and not overdone.

As you can see, it gives my lips a soft pink tone. Depending on your skin tone, you can get this result or a more berry-like shade, but whichever it is, the color is sure to match you perfectly.

This product (which comes in a chic little package) also goes on silky-soft and carries a little spf 10 to protect your beautiful lips from the sun.

Final Verdict: Love it! 

Throwback Thrillers: Diorific Long-Wearing True Color Lipstick in Lady

Finding the perfect shade of red lipstick can be hard, especially if you want one that is fun and attention-grabbing for nighttime, but is still appropriate for day. If you can get your hands on this gorgeous lipstick from Dior, then this problem might very well be solved. 

It has a lovely, creamy texture and the shade is one that will translate to most skin tones. It’s vibrant and exotic, while still being tame enough to be taken seriously at work. 

It may be a little hard to track down, but trust me, it’ll be worth it. My only complaint is the plastic packaging, which felt a little bit cheap. 

Enjoy!

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!
