Face brushes by Dior

Dior makeup brushes

Dior-faceHere’s something I haven’t spoken about with you guys on my blog before, Dior makeup brushes! I’ve had these two Dior brushes for months, and I’ve been using them — just not speaking about them. Guess now I should share the love of them on my blog, and let you know what I think of them. Spoiler alert, they have stuck around my makeup bag ever since!

Dior-foundationDior Fluid Foundation brush is a brush I prefer to use when I am wanting a higher coverage, flawless face due to it being so dense. The fluid foundation brush mimics synthetic fibers, with the softness of natural fibers. It’s a layered and tapered brush, so it applied foundation easily but quickly too. The brush is small enough to fit underneath the eye to blend in your concealer, and perfect to glide softly around the nose, making sure you don’t get that caked-on-foundation look around that part of your face. ‘Cause sometimes, that happens! But with this brush, it won’t. I feel like I look totally natural when wearing makeup, using this brush. Plus, I love how slim/tiny it is.

Dior Kabuki brushDior Kabuki Brush no. 17 has been the brush I’ve been reaching for the past few weeks to apply a quick bronzed and chiselled look to my face, without having to blend it out after. Hashtag I use this when I feel lazy. This does it all. It’s not the softest makeup brush I own, but it’s compact enough to fit into my mini makeup bag, does an excellent job of getting the job done quickly, and picks up the perfect amount of product. To apply my bronzer, I lightly dip the tip of the brush head into the bronzer, and apply my bronzer using circular motions allllllll over my forehead, under my cheek bones, a touch down the bridge of my nose, and finally finish off with a dab of bronzer under the chin #EraseTheDoubleChin.

Buy the Dior Gel Coat. Yep.

WHY HAVE I NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS?

Dior gel coatI’ve dropped so many of my dollahs on this beautiful Dior product. I re-purchased it many a time. Yea, that’s right. Just because I work with a brand, doesn’t mean I don’t spend money on their products. CAUSE I DO. Buy the Dior Gel Coat.

Let’s call this top coat exactly what it is, a beautiful top coat to finish off your mani/pedi. It’s like the seche vite of quick drying top coats. Except the Dior one I wouldn’t call quick drying, more like shellac-like-top coat. It creates a shiny finish to your nails, and potentially lasts as long as a shellac. I haven’t found it lasted quite that long (2+ weeks, pfth yeah right), but it does last a while. And that’s why I’ve repurchased it. In fact, I need Sephora to have their 20% off VIB sale soon, when is that happening by the way? Anyone know? I know it happens twice a year. I need to stock up, I only have about an eighth of the product left.

Plus, it doesn’t get all goopy when you’re half way through the bottle (ahem, like other top coats do). Just saying.

As most of the Dior nail polished I’ve tried out in the past, they have been consistent with their formulation. That’s what sucks me in. Perfectly creamy colours, no shimmer, and the widest application brush for fools like me who make a mess with painting nails with the scrawny nail polish brushes. I just can’t do it man! I am consistently raving about Sally Hansen & Dior brushes. They’re almost identical to one another, but of course not identical in price. Obviously.

You can buy it at Macy’s (where I first purchased it). But I’d recommend buying it at Sephora, so you can get your points for it.

P.S: This week I’m talking about everything DIOR beauty related. Dior needs more love on my blog, plus I have some items from the Spring collection to show you. Come back every day this week if you’re interested :)

Dior Cosmopolite | Nail polish for Fall 2015

Dior-Darling-Blush-polish791 Daring Blue

Dior-Cosmopolite-polish785 Cosmopolite

Dior-Miroire-polish001 Mirror

Dior-Metropolish-polish701 Metropolis

These are the four new nail polishes Dior will be releasing on August 1, for their Dior Cosmopolite Fall 2015 collection. Got a favourite? That green one was the first one I took a photo of this morning, and it has been on my nails for 4 days without a hitch. Looks like it holds up pretty good while making a pretty bold statement. Who knew I’d be sporting the forest green colour I had painted on my walls back in Grade 8. My hubby seems to like this shade on me too.

After taking a few swatches of these this afternoon I now have on the maroon colour, called after the collection itself, Cosmopolite. Definitely a second favourite. The entire collection will be a hybrid of metallics, and fun colours to wear in the cooler months creeping up on us. Except, it definitely was not cool outside today. 38*C out there today, smokin’! I ended up driving to the mall to save me some air-con costs, only to have it announced over the entire PA-system at the mall that between the hours of 2 and 5pm they will be dimming lights and not putting the A/C cranked so high. Fail there on my part. So I drove back and cranked my own AC in the comfort of my own home and took some nail swatches for ya guys.

Dior Nail Vernis will retail for $31.00CDN.
