Yesterday I played with the golden highlighter once more. I still didn't buy it though. Instead I bought two Dior Addict lipsticks - Millie and Fashion Week. I can't believe I haven't noticed them before.

Dior Addict lippies are so easy to wear, very good choice . The highlighter is pure Gold it will be perfect for summer, the powder looks really great
and as it is LE worth buying in my opinion I haven ´ t purchased it yet but I will. !

Here is Mayday ( built up ) on me
Pretty colour easy to build up and well pigmented

It looks great on you! But very different from what it does on me. On me it's darker and more of a real red. I guess this goes to show how dangerous it can be to judge a lipstick color from a picture.

Yes indeed, on me it is a cherry Red ( built up though ), It depends so much on the lips ( pigmented, not pigmented ) IRL ! Mayday is more pigmented than the other Dior Addict lippies for sure but as you said it looks darker on you and more cherry on me

I had some time today, so I took my time with experimenting.
Fluid sticks are very, very nice. They give a cold sensation when they're applied and there isn't much weight on the lips. The colour selection is also quite awesome, very bright and there's a true orange in there, which I will like in the summer. I don't think I'm much of a fan of the package though. Yes, its pretty, but it doesn't feel very reliable. The tester's wand parely picked enough lipstick.
The nail polish colours are kind of... undewhelming. There's the beiges and the pinks, then Trianon, Palais Royale and Junon which are interesting (all three will probably be hits), but they're neutrals, then the corals and hot pinks and reds, but it all seemed like slight variations from each other and nothing worth looking at much. Front Row, Victoire and Metal Montaigne are show stoppers in nails only, on the bottle they are kind of lost in that sea of pinks and reds and only MM stands out as anything different. Mirage is the only colour that stands out (outside of MM and maybe Junon), but since it's a purple I'm not interested. I'll say many will like it though.
The summer collection was also there. I was interested in Cabine and how it compared to Blue Denim. Cabine is lighter and more blue. The application of Cabine was better than Blue Denim however. I'm not sure which I'm going to pick between them. Blue Denim is more my style of colour, but Cabine is the better product. The nail polishes were... underwhelming. I liked the neutral colour the most and that says everything. The blue one is very pigmented, but not my shade of blue, but I might cave eventually because I like blues. The red is just a red like so many others.
I asked the SA about a mattifying powder. She recommended DiorSkin Forever, which isn't one and is a foundation instead. I have no idea, but since she was so competent at everything I asked, I dared to try. I liked it, but I'm really confused now. Does anyone understand anything about those powders? I want something that will mattify my skin and I don't care for foundation. The Shiseido powder I was using is giving me allergies for ome reason and I'm feeling in the mood to try something new anyway.

The highlighter is very beautiful indeed, and I know I don't have forever to make up my mind. I know I'll hate myself if I decide to get it, and it's sold out.Dior Addict lippies are so easy to wear, very good choice .

I haven ´ t purchased it yet but I will. !
I am very happy with my Addicts. I wear Fashion Week today, and it's very flattering.

The best mattifying (mattifying - not caking!) powder I have tried is Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder. It comes in two colors: Translucent and Ivory. The first really is translucent (although not as pale and clear as Shiseido). The second has a bit of color (very pale - yellow based). Both are mattifying, but Ivory will cover a bit too. They are very finely milled, and cheaper than Shiseido.
I better add that I have no idea how the powder will work without foundation. My best bet is that it'll just fall off.
Have you tried a mattifying primer? Dior makes a wonderful one.

Got to swatch all the Dior Fluid Sticks today. The colors are just divine. They feel just a tad sticky when drying, but then they're fine.Very long wearing!!! The Chanel guy & Dior gal (whom I dig) were laughing so hard because I would swatch it on my arm, sit the tube down, then after like 5 swatches, we couldn't remember which was which. None of us could read the stupid light numbers on the bottom. Anyhow, I ended up with dear Winthrops recommendation of Rieuse. Its such a pretty everyday shade. On me, its a slight pinked strawberry shade. Very very pretty. I am going to get Wonderland & Pandore next.

Rieuse is a soft coral, vibrant and soft. Wonderland and Pandore are much brighter ( have them both ), great swatch ! I can't wait to have your impressions on Wonderland and Pandore. The fluid sticks don't work for me, in fact 1 out of 2 says it's good. ( Source, Sephora ). I think they are easy to apply and wear, they are not sticky at all and I really feel water on my lips when wearing them. That is nice.Got to swatch all the Dior Fluid Sticks today.
