Wow---is that right Monsy? What did you dislike about it? I saw swatches and it looked VERY orange.
I just don't see two colors going together well. If I use it only as a bronzer - brown part it's ok. Blush does not work well with the brozning color. It looks like a mess.
It's not too orange but just does not compliment my skin tone. I used it ONCE last summer and once couple of days ago and I gave up on it.

I am talking about this one

Arghh now I want the coral glow duo...a year later. Even though I swatched it every time I went in to sephora. Checked all the sites don't think its available might have to resort to evilbay.
Oh no not on EBay, I will tell you if I can find one for you, it is a gorgeous formula and colour in my opinion, are you in the US ? I saw the pink version of it sometime ago, but not the coral one.

Yes. That's the one that I saw. It looks pretty. Sorry it didn't work for you.

The colours look good - what doesn't work for you?
On the picture, the blush looks powdery. I have both ( pink and coral ), here are some swatches, honestly they are close to mint.



Last spring, every blog on earth would say both blushes were awesome, I do not agree with all bloggers but this time it was true, great blushes !

first of all how do you use it? as a blush only? as a bronzer only? mix all the shades together?

as a bronzer it's too light barely shows up
as a blush only it's ok , just ok
all shades mixed together looks like a mess. too redish on my skin , does not compliment me at all.

I have gazillion of bronzers and another million of coral blushes and they all work well for me.

i have other blush/bronzers from guerlain, chanel were when you mix all the shades together it looks beautiful. well this is not the case.

That's too bad - I was thinking it could be used the same way as Sun Celebration; bronzer and blush separate or all together.

Yes I usually like these kind of a products. I have two chanel stripy ones, guerlain terracotta light sheer bronzing powder in blondes, lancome trio with blush bronzer and highglihter and they all work well... there is something off about this dior one... I don't know it's just maybe my skin tone.

I recently got nude bronzer and I like it. I am not wowed but it's ok. It takes some work to layer the color and a lot of blending to make it look nice.

I'm so drawn to these pretty powders - they are definitely my weakness. I'm tempted to offer to buy it from you but now you've made me second guess myself. LOL

The bronzer is pretty too, but I love the Guerlain one so much that I'll wait and get the next beautiful version of theirs.

I recently purchased the one in purple from dior.com
I like the color - it's not muted as some purples are, it's bright purple. Yes, I had hard time covering the entire lashes and I am not the best to judge about the added length as my lashes are naturally long. It hasn't done anything to the volume which is disappointing as I am always on the market for volumizing mascaras. There was no fallout, the mascara stayed pretty well. It was easy to remove with a regular makeup remover. Overall, an average product I terms of technical characteristics, but the color is quite unique.

Great Medgal :) I dont even know if we will have the quint here ( hope so ), it is classy but the Fall ones look beautiful too. So that means 3 quints to add to the wishlist, cart I mean ;) I think they are worth purchasing.
