That's great coverage. I am looking for a light foundation with good coverage. I have a low tolerance for heavier cream products.
I recently purchased the Dior Nude Air Foundation in 010, I also picked up the loose powder, since the pressed powder was too dark for me. I love it. Three drops, on the top of hand, twirl it around, that helps to apply better to bring it to body temp. Smear it around my face, use the Artis #8 oval, and it is flawless. I use the loose powder if I am going out somewhere special really want to have that true flawless look. I would repurchase this in a heartbeat. Going to Neiman's to play at Dior, TF, Chanel and Armani. Again, the SA's and/or product specialists for these lines have become good friends. No I don't hang with them. But it is a true relationship.

Got my Dior Lady 007 today! I wasn't sure if it'd be rich enough to show up on darker skintones, but it is.

Super, I hope you love it!!! I found mine very powdery, as in which I swipe the brush across them, powder goes everywhere. Isn't the compact something??? I thought it would be good to toss at my brother when he is being ugly. But I might break the compact. Very well made, and super heavy, in a good way.

It is powdery! I made a bit of a mess when swatching across the colors; I don't know why, but I expected the texture to be firm and more 'compact'.

I found it to be a mess. The residue of the excess powder gets caught in the nooks and crannies of the decorative design. So you get more of the base color instead of the accent colors. Gorgeous compact, pretty design, but I would not purchase again. To me, not too user friendly. I have to blow off the excess before I use it from the last time I used it.

Major crisis last night. I had a baby shower to attend for a girl. Everyone was encouraged to be all decked out in pink. I realized I have no true pinks for eyeshadows!!!!! Yes, of course I have a pink in numerous palettes, but none, with the exception YSL Baby Doll, which still had peach, were pink themed!!!! So HAD to purchase Dior House of Pinks eyeshadow this morning. This was just a fashion crisis for me!!!!!

Clearly necessary. No one could fault you for your actions.

Thankfully I had the pink mascara and eyeliner from last summer. My mom proclaimed I was nuts, I had to have a primary pink palette in this massive stash, that yes, has its own room. Perks of big brother moving out. His room was empty, my stash needed to spread out, ah duh??? So my mom went through all of it, and agreed I was actually correct!!!!

yes but you have me thinking about getting D & G Sole. It could be sitting in my cart at this very
moment! It's so pretty!

Oh but we must!! It's available at all D&G retailers so I can wait for the Sephora sale. That way I don't feel bad about the endless blushes I haven't even used yet *sigh*

Man, I just received my first Gucci haul today, so I was trying to ignore this new blush. But now I have to have it! My wallet is very disappointed in me. Thank you to all who posted info on it (from me, not my wallet)!
