Meddy, you are stunning!

Glad you love the blush, very pretty on you!!
I feel the same way, I was chosing a few neglected JC's to wear this week and realised I never need another blush!
Blushes are so addictive

Thank you MissTania. I'm currently participating in a blush challenge----a different blush everyday for the month of April. I'm sure this challenge will help me rediscover a few
long forgotten blush loves.

Beautiful, Medgal! No summer collection here yet, but the Nude Air are at my counters. I really want to try the serum foundation so I hope I can get samples. There are only 10, 20, 30 and 40, no 21. For the pressed powder the shades are the same, although at 1 particular counter I saw 21 for the pressed powder. 20 for the serum foundation swatched too dark on me, I was hoping there is 21 because 10 is just a little too light.

Stunning! And I love your necklace.
Thank you RockDiva!!! Another one of my obsessions is fashion jewelry. I was wearing matching ear-jackets that are super cute.

I have to share that I am upset that dior discontinued shade 011 in their Nude foundation in the usa. 10 is way too pink for my yellow skin and 021 is too dark for winter. So stupid. It was their only very light yellow toned foundation

I hate when companies do things like that. Hopefully there will be a suitable replacement?????

There is a 21! It's also under the name Linen. It was darker than 20 though. I just swatched this today and think that 10 might be a touch too light for me. I am winter pale right now, but I don't think *that* pale so I wonder if I could get away with 20. I'll have to ask again at Sephora or just go to the local Dior counter. The SA at Sephora was saying all sorts of weird things to me today from how the entire line is only for yellow undertones to how easily it oxidizes (she also listed the new Nars foundation and another one that do the same thing) and then she said she would give me a sample but said that the plastic containers just suck up the moisture in the serum so it will dry out on me even before I get it home to try out in more natural lighting. I was just thinking, ok... I live five minutes from the mall and I read Karen's review and she said she used her Sephora sample of the Nude Air serum for almost three weeks before she finished it. It was a bizarre encounter.

What? That sucks I wanted to try it in 011 because 010 was way too pink for me and I can't go to the 20's because they are too dark for me. Capture Totale in 010 is quite yellow, but I want to try a new foundation since I'm almost done with it. Have you tried Guerlains foundations in 31 Amber Pale?

I was just coming on here to say I tried these in store and nearly walked away with the whole display!!! The texture was beauuutiful. I loved it. I'm going to pick up Royal and Swan for the sale. Paname looks lovely, too!

I've had the same problem with all the ones I've tried, but I've never tried 31 Amber Pale and some reviews I've read said it was light and yellow. What foundation do you use now?

Does anyone have Carre Bleu nail polish? Can anyone compare it to Chanel's Blue Satin or Tom Ford's Indigo Night?

I owned Blue Satin some time ago. Blue Satin is shimmer and Carrè Blu is crème, and significantly lighter.

Maybe this will help?
