Dior Cosmetics Discussion

She says her skin is oily

i think it's more of a understating of the product. recently she reviewed two new mac bronzers with this sculpt formula and said she had to scrape of to get any pigment. problem is she doesn't understand that it is supposed to be that sheer

I can'r read anymore what she writes. I only scroll quickly trough the photos

I always found Temptalia's reviews to be... finicky. It doesn't help that her swatches never really look like the final product either. I've had several products that she has reviewed and they always look so different.

Jardin review is weird. This quint and Cuir Cannage was considered the best one out of the new formulation and she gives a B? Seeing those swatches made me want it again, even though I already have House of Greens.

Christine expects every powder product to be highly pigmented straight out of the pan, expects them to have a smooth, buttery texture and be easy to blend. Anything that is less than that, to her, is a miss. (I think she believes the consumer should have control of the product, not have their technique dictated by the product itself.) So I say it's a combination of her exacting standards and being ignorant to the fact some powder products are intentionally made to have a sheer application.

Hahahahaha! Yes it is a sign!

Really, the water turned pink...I've never had that happened. What kind of flowers were they? I have fresh vintage looking carnations in a vase now. They are really frilly & are a very vintage light dusty pink with darker edges. I've never seen real carnations look like this, so I had to buy them lol.

The pink blush stick is really pretty. I hope you love it on.

They were a mixed bouquet that I'd picked up at the fresh market that included two huge hot pink Chrysanthemum Disbuds & Daisies (my fav). I forgot that I'd
taken a pic just as the water was slightly pink. As the days progressed the water became bright pink. I'll get the blush sometime next month. I haven't yet worn my
TF goodies or items from my last two Chanel hauls.

I liked how it looked

I thought it looked good on her too!!!

I also find most eyeshadows look the same color as many other she swatches. The same for blushes too. Yet, when I swatch them there is a huge difference. But then it could be the skin tone too.

True. Sometimes she doesn't like a product, but then it looks really good on her

It's very strange. :sigh:

I remember something about the nail polish Lady not being able to be found. I saw it today at Sephora in Northbrook, IL. I could be all mixed up about anyone looking for this, long day.

You know I vaguely recall Monsy mentioning it.

Ask my brother the botanist. He said if the flowers have been dyed, which is common for cut flowers, the dye from the flowers seeps into the water.

My hubs, a shrink said the same thing.

 

[Medgal07]

HA!

"but it was powdery and looked a little dry on the skin"...................

EVERYTHING is dry & powdery to her

My parent's are relieved their monies went to good use for his education!!!!

I was able to snatch Lady when it was first released! absolutely beautiful lady like shade

Maybe the lighting as well?

I mostly see the differences on the nail polishes. There were a few she reviewed from another brand I thought it was going to be galaxy on may nails and then when I did, I was like meh.

Imho, the tie dye blush is not sheer at all. If you don't watch it, you have a clown face
