I had fun shopping & eating today at Nordies. The crazy SAs about drove me out of my mind
ohboy.gif
They made it so hard to shop, swatch & browse. Endless chattering, questions...agghh. It was impossible to take pics in the store. My Nordies has a very strict no photos policy.

Anyhow, I swatched all the Dior & Chanel & Smashbox..... The Dior es palettes are divine. They had already sold out of Trafalgar. The darkest shade in that palette was so beautiful. All the shades in all the palettes were very pigmented & smooth. I loved loved loved the Bar lipstick which is a sheer Mauve. It is soooooo beautiful. I just wasn't sure how it would look on my very mauvey pigmented lips. It was a favorite.

The Smashbox palettes had THE best pigmentation & smoothness of everything I swatched & the shades were beautiful. I LOVE their Legendary lipsticks & just ordered the limited edition shade Bing. Its a gorgeous slight oranged red.

I also bought one of the new Bite matte lip pencils in Tatin - a beautiful vintage carnation pink. I will get the red one next.

Got a sample of the new Dior Hydra Life Close-Up Pore Reducing Pro-Youth Moisturizer. I tried some on the back of my hand & my skin was AMAZINGLY smooth & soft & radiant looking. I'm going to try it on my face tomorrow.

I swatched the gold es palette in the store & thought it was VERY beautiful!!!! All 3 shades! I am very very happy I bought it. The shades showed up very well on my jelly skin.

Hi honey! I so, so glad you love it. Wait until you wear it---you'll love it even more. I actually wore mine today and it is BEAUTIFUL. The shimmery gold is quite
deceiving--It is subtle and gorgeous. I wore it as directed in the package and it was just really pretty. The lightest shade, the 'base' goes on like butter!!! I wish I could
have taken a pic that showed my eyes more but I'm just not good at it. I wore black liner on both upper and lower lids, which made it pop. I put Chanel gold eyeliner
Ambre Dore 911 in the waterline and it looked AMAZING! I can't wait to wear it again!!!

What a fun day----sans the annoying SAs. I was thrilled to hear about Trafalgar because I ordered it. The look on the model sold me & your feedback confirmed my choice.

You would look AMAZING in this palette---it makes the nicest, sophisticated look---like I wanted to put my pearls on, but that would have been a bit much for just
relaxing on the patio Sunday afternoon!! I am in love with this palette!! It looks different than it swatches. The shimmery gold is smooth and more subtle than the
swatch would imply. The lightest shade that they refer to as the 'base' is a smooth as butter. I was very pleasantly surprised by this palette.

Thank you for the work you do on your blog. I remember the first post I ever read was your review of Chanel JCs in Discretion and Evocation. I went past my Counter and saw them totally unexpectedly, and you were the first to have a review and it was very helpful...since then I have bought 3 back ups of Discretion lol.

Thanks for the link. Wow, I want La Vie lipstick especially...I love the name Tout Paris (in my mind I'm saying Toot Paris LOL).
Ah, renovations can be stressful and annoying, but in the end it will be worth it. I had my en suite bathroom re-done last year and I hated having to use our main bathroom, but it's so much nicer now.

I have ordered Innocence, I can't wait to try it! I'm sure it will look lovely on you.

Oh I was hoping someone would buy the Smashbox Bing lipstick. It looks so pretty. I bought the Cherry Copper and like it a lot. Which Smashbox palette did you try? I picked up the Mini Full Exposure palette. I'm going on a trip soon and I thought it would be great for that since it is so small and is all neutrals. I'm thinking of buying the Cherry Smoke palette.

I LOVE Bing! I swatched Cherry & the mini & loved both lol. There is one shade in that Cherry Smoke palette that I LOVE LOVE...its the reddish brown. I really love Smashbox products.

You Dior lovers NEED to at least get a sample & try the new Dior Hydra Life Close-Up Pore Reducing Pro-Youth Moisturizer!!! Its really amazing stuff. I wore it today & love it. It really softens the skin, gives a soft-focus look - just a beautiful soft flawless look to the skin. Silky! I do not have noticeable pores so I cannot say how it works for that. At least try a sample. I got mine at Sephora. I am wondering if Nordies will get it, because they do not have it now.

I'm praying for you too!

I saw Innocence yesterday at my local counter- it looked like a slightly mauve soft pink with a slight almost peach tinge.

It was

at first swatch. Maybe even as much as my beloved Discretion.

I ordered from SAKS so I will have to wait.
