[ MY PICKS ] DIOR SPRING 2016 | GLOWING GARDENS COLLECTION

"SPRING FLOWERS

Dior cultivates the art of a beautiful glow in what are now considered must-haves, inspired by the techniques of professional makeup artists and the products they use backstage, like Lip Glow, the Colour Reviver Lip Balm. This spring, Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, reinterprets the art of a gorgeous glow with a luminous makeup collection that teams new Backstage Pros essentials with eyeshadows and lipsticks in colours inspired by the flower gardens of Granville."

Here are my picks...

// Diorshow Colour & Contour in Iris (157) [Limited edition]
This is a dual-ended pen consisting of an eye shadow crayon and an eye liner.  There are 5 shade combinations available in the collection.  I picked "Iris" (157) which has a very shimmery, purply grey shadow and midnight/navy blue liner.  The other shade combos are "Water Lily" - a pastel green eye shadow and chlorophyll liner, "Orchid" - a luminous peach shadow and tobacco eye liner, "Twig" - a warm platinum shadow and brown liner, and "Hortensia" - a delicate lilac shadow and violet liner.  All the eye shadows have a very shimmery to frost finish.

// Dior Addict Lip Glow in Lilac (005) [Limited edition]
A lip balm that reacts to the unique chemistry of your lips to give a natural flush of custom pink that suits your skin tone.

// Diorshow Fusion Mono in Equinoxe (541) [Limited edition]
A weightless, cushiony textured cream eye shadow in a brown-toned champagne with a very sparkly finish.

// Dior Vernis in Bleuette (301) [Limited edition]
A baby blue nail polish with a hint of aqua green and a cream finish.  The other three shades in the collection are "Pivoine" (shimmering coral with a jelly finish), "Garden" (pale chartreuse yellow green) and "Lilac" (mid-tone cool lilac pink - looked much more pink than lilac to me).

As much as I love highlighters, the two in the collection just didn't grab my attention enough to want to buy any of them (I own many!).  If you don't own similar shades already they might be worth a look as they do look pretty and applied smoothly based on my swatches at the counter.  I also didn't get any of the two eye shadow palettes as pastel shades don't suit my medium to tan skin tone.  There are several other items in the collection including a blush, two Rouge Dior lipsticks, a few Rouge Brilliant (lip balm glosses), Rouge Dior Baume lipsticks, Dior Addict Lip Glow liner, Diorshow Waterproof Pro Liner in taupe and a Dior Addict It-Lash.

Meanwhile, I will post my thoughts and swatches of my picks soon if you're interested. :)

Have a great week! x
