Dior Skyline | Colour Correctors

3 Comments

Dior Fix It in GreenOne of Dior’s latest backstage items is the new multipurpose colour concealer packaged in the same way as their Fix-It for good reason, they play a similar role as they are both for priming, but added in a colour correcting aspect to it and you have targeted shades to create an even base/canvas for any redness/darkness or blemishes you may have.

Notice the caps on the colour-correctors correspond to which shade is in the tube? Much easier to grab, whenever you want to apply one quickly. There’s four shades for all your targeted needs (I don’t have the blue shade).

See them in use, after the jump!

Dior Skyline Autumn Lacquer | MINIMAL + SKYLINE

1 Comment

Dior Skyline nail polishesDior has launched their fall collection called the Skyline Collection as of August 1! Every Dior launch has a story behind it, and this one being inspired by the architectural design from the Eiffel Tower structure. Who doesn’t want to be in Paris during the colourful season of Autumn? You’ll see how that really comes into play when you see the designs imprinted in the eyeshadows (blog post coming soon!)

First I’m talking about one of my favourite things by Dior: their nail polishes.

Ah the best nail polishes come back with another killer duo. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again Dior (and Sally Hansen!) have the best formula, the best brushes, and the best overall longevity and application in any nail polishes I’ve tried.

I’ve been wearing the beige colour (which I’d describe more of a peachy nude than beige) called Minimal the most, because I’m against the cooler weather coming just yet. I’m only getting used to this California heat! Although California doesn’t get too chilly, it does require more layers than the hot hot sun, in summer, obvs.

See them on my nails after the jump!

Burberry Cashmere Concealer

1 Comment

Burberry-closed-concealerBurberry Cashmere Concealer is a new addition to the Burberry’s makeup range as of early 2016, so I knew I wanted to pick it up when the April Sephora sale was happening. I knew I wanted something brightening under the eyes and a bit more pink/salmon toned to correct any darkness. I opted for the No. 1 in Porcelain which is a fair colour with a bit of a pink undertone to it.

A lot of creamy concealers don’t seem to work on me, although I love the consistency of them they seem to slide around and disappear from the under eye area. The Burberry Cashmere Concealer stays put with or without setting powder (I like the Hourglass Ambient powder in Dim Light) for around 4-6 hours without needing touch-ups.

What I mean by a touch-up is to fix any creasing it may cause around my undereyes. Nothing a bit of patting from freshly washed hands can’t fix.

The sponge applicator hasn’t gotten clogged up, and I assume it won’t at this point, considering I’ve been using it for 3 months!

Burberry-concealerIt’s definitely my second favourite concealer these days! As you know, I also really enjoy my Cle de Peau concealer stick, too.

Applying-BurberryClick the wand up a couple of times to disperse product into the sponge, then dab along your under eye. I like to do a triangle under the eyes to not only conceal any darkness but also give a lot of light to the eye area.

applying-concealerI always prefer to blend in my concealer with my finger. It blends naturally and seamlessly with the warmth of my finger tips.

before-and-afterBefore and after using the Burberry Cashmere Concealer in No. 01 Porcelain. The lighting is a bit off (I was taking these photos in the early morning so the lighting changed a bit as I was applying my product!).
