Rouge Dior Nude Lip Blush in Grege #169


Dior has launched a new line of lipsticks, called Rouge Dior Nude, together with the new Diorskin Nude foundations.

Imagine a new lipstick that behaves like a highlighting blush, thanks to radiant new shades and a new treatment balm formula.

From the first application, lips are perfectly hydrated, plumped and smoothed, thanks to a formula containing a high concentration of active treatment ingredients.

Rouge Dior Nude is available in 10, new, warm or cool, blush-effect shades that add a transparent touch of warmth or coolness to the complexion. From beige to bronze and from greyish-beige to rosewood, they echo the nude coloured silhouettes of the latest Dior shows.

These lipsticks are not nude in the traditional sense, but are supposed to subtley enhance your natural lip colour.

I don't know about you but I was sold by the promotional images of Natalie Portman.

Chanel Joues Contraste in Rose Initiale #72


Recently I have tried to cut down on my beauty purchases, hence the lack of posts in August (but that is also due to time issues).  Instead of buying almost everything that looked good/interesting, I have been editing my wishlist down to the essential "must-buys" from each collection (I skipped the entire Dior Autumn collection).

At first I thought I had to have Lumiere d'Artifices, the stripey sequin palette from the Chanel Autumn 2012 collection.  But after looking at swatch photos and trying it in store, it's a big no for me - the colour just doesn't show up on me.  Then I thought is it absolutely necessary to buy Rose Initiale, another pink blush?

Guerlain Pucci Terra Azzurra Bronzing Powder & Blush


Before I bought this palette, I had second thoughts about it. Do I really need another bronzer (since I'm not a fan of bronzer)? Do I really need another blush (I have enough to use a different one everyday for a month at least)? Is any bronzer/blush really worth £51?

Yes this bronzer blush is really quite expensive. But it is also very big - in fact one could probably use is as a mini discus. I caved in (for research purposes) since I had £15 worth of reward points at Debenhams (btw I used to snub Debenhams but their Beauty Club reward card is excellent when they have bonus point events!).

Nails of the day #12 - Dior Vernis in Lucky #659


Lucky Vernis #659 is the same colour as Addict Extreme Lipstick in Lucky - an opaque vibrant blue based pink, with no shimmer.  I have worn this matchy matchy combination (lipstick & nail polish) and I like it - it is a very fresh and simple look if you keep other areas (cheeks & eyes) toned down and neutral.

Chanel Joues Contraste in Fleur de Lotus #69


Joues Contraste in Fleur de Lotus is part of the 2012 Le Blanc Fleur de Lotus makeup collection and is an Asia exclusive.  The two feature products, the blush and the green Illusion d'Ombre in Riviere, immediately reminded me of traditional Chinese paintings of Lotus flowers - intense coral (or pink) with a light wash of green.

Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow in Liquifuschia


After watching a Lisa Eldridge video the other day, I realised I didn't have a blue based pink cream blush.  So that was my excuse to get Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow in Liquifuschia.

I was quite excited to see Kevyn Aucoin stocked at Space NK here in the UK.  I remember flicking through a copy of Face Forward eons ago (when I wasn't that into makeup) and being amazed at the transformations.  Having a piece of Kevyn Aucoin makeup won't make me a stellar makeup artist but it brings a smile to my face.

Suqqu Nuancing Cheeks EX-03 Akanemizu Blush Spring 2012


Out of the three Suqqu spring collection blushes, EX-03 is actually my favourite. While it is not as eye catching in the palette as EX-02, I find it much more wearable and pigmented.

EX-03 茜水 Akanemizu consists of a rose quartz pink and a peachy coral blossom shade with shimmer.

Suqqu Spring 2012 Nuancing Cheeks Blushes Overview


This is just a quick post to show all the colours of the Suqqu Spring 2012 Nuancing Cheeks blushes.  I will be reviewing each of them in separate posts to follow.

This is my first foray into the Suqqu スック brand (pronounced suk-ku [sook-ku], not su-queue).  I steered clear of their blushes previously as I didn't like having one small blush and one small highlighter in a compact together.  However, once I saw images of these blushes a few months ago, I knew I had to have all of them.  The colours are perfect for me!

Blush Horizon de Chanel Soft Glow Blush Spring 2012


There is no doubt the star product of the Chanel Spring 2012 Harmonie de Printemps collection is the Blush Horizon de Chanel.  However I couldn'y help but be disappointed that the pattern was again stripes, similar to Chanel Bronze Rosé from the 2011 Summer (and the stripes theme will continue for Summer 2012 as well).  My secret wish is for Chanel to make a camellia motif powder palette.
