Comopolite-header

Dior cosmopolite lipsticks have launched as of August 1! Here are the three new colours to tickle your fancy. If you missed out on seeing the new nail polishes that have also launched, you can either look at this photo below, or click on this blog post to see them all swatched on my fingers. Dior-Cosmopolite-polishes

Nouvelle-Femme-DiorThese are the Rouge Dior lipstick formula, and they’re highly pigmented and glossy.

I probably don’t have to sell you on that (nor am I trying to), because they’re Dior and they sell themselves because they are beautiful lipsticks. But I still wanted to show you how they swatch, and take many many pretty photos of them. I can’t help myself.

Dior-Cosmopolite-lipsticksLeft to right Unique, Continental, and Nouvelle Femme. Unique is a vampy shade with a bit of a plum-kissed look when applied on the lips. I wore Continental in my Get Ready With Me: Dior Cosmopolite 2 ways (Blonde vs. Brunette) video I did with Megan! Finally, the star of the show, a gorgeous nude with a hint of peach undertones, Nouvelle Femme. My favourite out of the trio.

Cosmopolite-lip-swatchesThe swatches you may have all been waiting for. In the twitter picture I posted a few days ago, you can tell that it has more of a shine to it than in the picture here. You don’t understand how difficult it is to manoeuvre and contort your body in the perfect position to snap some of these pictures and have some of them come out blurry. Would you kill me if I said these photos took two hours to capture and pose just so? Believe me! Though my husband was sitting with me throughout some of it, agreeing that the lighting was too good not to stop, good man.

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.

Dior Vernis — Limited Edition

Dior-Vernis-Spring-and-LillI decided to share the love with this collection of limited edition Dior Vernis. While I was home in Newfoundland I received an abundance of Dior goodies from the company. My younger cousin lucked out, as I gave her two of the four, for her nail polish collection. She even did some nail polish swatches for me, for this blog — thanks Claire!

We’re a bit different in what we like in regards to nail polish formula and brushes. I’ve always said, Sally Hansen & Dior are my top two brands of nail polish I prefer to stick to. Primarily because of the nice shape and size of the brush. Where as my cousin Claire stated to me that while she likes the nail polish she found the brush too wide. She mentioned it was hard to keep it within the nail. Brands like OPI and Essie have smaller brushes which she prefers — and I definitely do not.

Here are the swatches. Spring-and-Lili

Dior Spring is my cult classic this Fall. I have been wearing it for weeks, and only wore Lili simply for the sake of taking nail polish swatches. Lili is a colour I’d naturally gravitate towards, but Spring — boy, that’s something special. A muted purple-grey. I’ve received so many compliments on it in person, and Instagram. It’s a beaut.

My cousin sent over some polish swatches of hers. An odd thing to notice but doesn’t she have the best nail beds? They’re so much longer than mine. Diorette-and-Star

 I’m not sure if it was a help from the Dior Gel Coat top coat or not, but when I wore Dior Spring — I hadn’t had a chip in 5 DAYS. I went climbing one of the days, and my nails were a bit scratched on the surface but still no chipping. I’m telling ya, you get what you pay for. The Gel Coat was bought by me, a number of months ago. But I love using it on top of any Dior polish as my top coat to get a shellac like finish that lasts. The 4 Dior Vernis colours are available at The Bay for $26 CDN and are limited edition, so get your hands on them now if you want to snatch one up.
