Dior Cosmetics Discussion

[SlugPower]

I find they generally look prettier on than they do swatched. We don't have the TF blushes up here for me to compare, but Dior have become one of my favourite formulas of the ones we have available.

So I stopped by a Dior counter at lunch today and lo and behold, there was a completely untouched tester of Celeste mono fusion matte. Since I was wearing vaguely plum-lavender tones anyway, I tried a little of this on the inner part of my lids- normally the most sensitive part. Almost an hour later and it's not irritating my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is huge for me.

Granted, it's normally shimmery shades that are really difficult for me to deal with, but it does seem like I might be able to pull this off. It's a gorgeous icy lilac shade, right up my proverbial alley.

One thing I find in Dior products is that while they don't advertise as anti-alergic (that I know of), they never get a reaction from me, certainly not rashes or oily. My skin is oily and yet very sensitive, yet everything goes well in it from Dior. I'm never afraid of putting "too much" like I am from other brands. It doesn't even get oily.

This one is my favourite product from their Spring collection. I am a bit disappointed with their eye products :-(

I road tested the four lipsticks yesterday. None of them are for me. The one I was most interested in, Souveraine, is beautiful on the back of my hand but far too coral on my lips. The other three looked different stages of horrible on me. I might buy Rose Baiser later this spring, but for now I wear Pastel Fontagnes with YSL Rouge Pur Couture in Prune Avenue which gives a nice contrast to the very pale eye area.

I wonder if the pink from the blue quint is eyeshadow or some sort of lip product?

I doubt that. I think they are ordinary powder eyeshadow quints.

First glimpse (for me at least) of Dior Transat Edition, Summer 2014, showing Sun Deck 564 and Atlantique 344. I took this image of the two quints from the summer collection from Dior from a Russian site. I hope that's all right. Maybe I should have started a new thread? I already know that I'll buy Sun Deck because I think I have enough blue and green, and then a few days later I'll come back for Atlantique because it looks so fresh. The lipsticks and nail polish look very tender.

Thanks for posting this I've been searching for an image of sun deck for a while now, it looks amazing! I've never took the plunge and ordered a Dior quint as usually they aren't wearable enough for me to justify the price, but maybe that one will be neutral enough with a slight kick The atlantique one looks so pretty, very excited to see more of the summer stuff. As for spring, I've already got the matte primer off ebay. I want the Trianon now palette but I'll have to save up for that as it's quite expensive!

I really, really have a soft spot for the quints from Dior, but, yes, they are very expensive. On the other hand they never get that awful hard surface some eyeshadows can get if you're not careful (and sometimes even though you are), and they never turn to dust either. I have far too many of them, but I still wear them all so I guess the money was well spent after all (sort of, that is). Some of my quints are so old that they have been in and out of fashion several times.

Now that you mention it, I've found the same thing. My skin isn't particularly sensitive, but I do have reactions to some products (all Chanel skincare, for instance). Dior has always worked perfectly for me.

My skin is oily to the max and I have acne, I love the nude bb and nude foundation as they arent too heavy and they never make my skin feel worse. Sadly the matte primer doesn't work on me. Sure it smoothes out my bumpy areas and means I can use less foundation to cover my blemishes, but shine wise it made little difference. So if any of you are grease balls llike me I wouldn't reccommend the matte primer!

I got to take a quick look at the collection this morning. I didn't care for the eye palette but I did love the single Taupe cream shadow. The texture was incredible - so silky smooth. It was a darker browned taupe. The pale lavender looked like a slight pale chalk & then there was a black one. They were missing the other one. They had the bright pink & bright coral lipsticks. They were pretty, but I will pass.

 

[User38]

got the Corail Blush!

You actually got it, or you ordered it? I cannot wait to get it. I do hope you love it on.

 

[User38]

I ordered last night.. and did not get a confirmation of order till this afternoon -- but I had ordered the Huggables too and I think that;s what held up the confirmation. I went back to bu Cherry and get Conmotion and both are gone
