Dior Diorskin Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond

Hey everyone!  Hope you are enjoying the new website!  Jordan from BohoVanity did an awesome job designing it for me.  Check out her blog if you haven't already, it's awesome and so is she.  When launching the new website, I decided to remove the blog comment widget that I had previously and it deleted most of my comments which is sad but I hope this regular commenting thing makes it simpler for you to make comments in the future. 

Now on to the makeup.

I've been hauling my little makeup obsessed butt off lately and I need to hurry up and photograph it so that I can show you guys!  I got some really great stuff.  Today I'm going to share one thing that I hauled a few weeks ago and kinda forgot to share with you guys.  It's the notorious Dior Diorskin Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond.  I finally made the leap and purchased this most talked about highlighter.  Well it did live up to the hype....kinda. 

Dior Diorskin Shimmer Star
Shade Purchased:  Amber Diamond
Available at Saks
$44.00 USD

Loves:  It gives an awesome subtle glow to the skin without being obnoxious.  It doesn't emphasize any imperfections on my face.  It looks great on my complexion.  It lasts all day on me.  The packaging is gorgeous and so is the powder.

Hates:  I kind of like obnoxious highlighters!  It can be a little too subtle and I have to build it up to get that glow sometimes.  I like to apply my makeup fairly quickly so I don't really like having to build up color although it does prevent me from looking like a disco ball.

I think this highlight powder is pretty awesome, I'm just nitpicking it a bit because I've become a lazy makeup hoarder!  

Well that's about all I have for today.  Tomorrow will be filled with taking photos, youtubing and editing so that I can show you guys all of my latest goodies! 

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Why is this song from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air stuck in my head right now?!
I'm stuck in a basement sitting on a tricycle, girl gettin on my nerves.  Going out of my mind, I thought she was fine, don't know if her body is hers...

Product Spotlight - Dior Addict Lipstick Rock & Roll

Missed all of you!  I took my mom to Paris for a couple days and now we are hanging out in Germany until she leaves me.  Insert sad face here!  The day before I left for Paris, I received my Dior Lipstick in the mail and I was so excited.  My excitement has waned now that I have fallen in love with a freakin $28.00 lipstick!  Sigh.  I love how it's sheer but you still see the color.  I also love how it doesn't dry out my lips at all.  I definitely want more of these.

Dior Addict Lipstick

Hates:  Glitter was still on my lips after the lipstick wasn't

 Love it!  Have you guys tried any of these lipsticks?  If so, which shade is your favorite?

Obsession! Dior Addict Lip Glow Review

Hi Everyone!  Missed you yesterday!  I decided to go to San Francisco to say hello and goodbye to some of my old co-workers and to have lunch with my former boss.  I hate driving in the city so I parked at the BART station and took the BART train into the city.  Of course as soon as I sat down on the BART, I realized I forgot my freakin Lip Glow!  I was so irritated that I seriously rode the BART to the mall stop and went to Nordstrom looking to buy another one.  I was appalled that I wouldn't be able to apply more after my lunch date.  So over dramatic! But in all seriousness I LOVE this product.  Like no joke she is my bestie.  So of course, I have to tell you all about her!   Oh and side note, Nordstrom was sold out of it and so was Sephora.  BUMMER!  Okay now on to the review.

Dior Addict Lip Glow:  Color Awakening Lip Balm w/ 10 SPF
According to the Sephora website, the balm "responds to the color chemistry of your lips to create a shade that is uniquely yours.

This product does something crazy to my lips where they look moisturized, have just the right amount of gloss and are the prettiest color without adding anything else on top.  When I bought this at Sephora, I thought for sure I would be kicking myself over paying $28 for a freakin lip balm but I would do it again and again because this is like my holy grail lip product.  My lips usually peel and feather like crazy but not with this.  hey look smooth for hours and my lips keep the tint even when the balm has worn off a bit.  Loves it!  Also, I have never gotten so many compliments on my lips before.

Look guys no feathering!

Final Verdict:  Um have you guys not been reading?!  LOVES IT!  Loves it so much!  Go get it if you can stomach paying almost 30 bucks for a lip product!

Sephora Haul Products! Review 4 Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Little Red Dress

Hi Loves,

I've always been a neutral lip kinda girl but I always wanted to break out the Red lips just because it always looks so chic.  I have not yet had an occasion to try a matte red lip as it just makes me nervous that I will end up looking like a teenage prostitute trying to be a grown-up!  Yeah...the things that go on in my head.  Okay, so I'm at Sephora swatching my little heart out in search of that red that has the right amount of shine and color....and then tada against my better judgement I tried the Dior Ultra Gloss.  Now I have nothing against Dior but this lipgloss is currently retailing at Sephora for $26.50 and I was afraid that if I tried it and liked it, I would be almost $30 poorer.  I was right!  I tried it on my hand and it was love at first swatch.  OMG (yeah this is an OMG moment) I had a glossgasm.  I threw this in my little Sephora bag and that was that.  The thing I love most about the gloss is that a little goes a long way and I can layer it on for the intensity or I can put on a dab and have a rosy lip look.  I am obsessed with this gloss and have gone from wearing very dramatic eyes to wearing neutrals just so that my gloss can be the focal point.  This gloss is a MUST BUY if you can part with the dinero.   Oh and for my packaging junkies, this is super cute.

FINAL VERDICT:  LOVE IT!  Caution:  Be careful of putting too much on as it may get on your teeth.  Do the finger O exercise to prevent.

Sephora Haul!

Hi Loves,

I always go to the salon every two weeks and get my hair done. I am currently going to Another Look in Elk Grove, CA and I love the way Je vonne does my hair!  Check for her if your ever in the area.

Any hoo, after my hair appointment, I decided to go to Sephora and do some damage. My excuse to go was to pick up some conditioner for my granny's hair that I told her I would bring to her later this week. So of course even though that was my excuse, I had a list of products on hand for myself.

I intended to get the new Too Faced Naked Eye Soft and Sexy Eyeshadow collection, the Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection also from Too Faced, the Urban Decay Summer of Love Eyeshadow Palette , the Dior Ultra Gloss and the MUFE Beauty in a Box - Aqua Essentials Kit.

So they totally pissed me off a little by not having the Naked Eye or the Beauty in a Box in store yet...especially since I was equipped with my VIB 10% off coupon but they redeemed themselves by being able to scan the coupon off of my crackberry!

So here is a list of what I actually got!

1. Nars Temptation Gift Set
2. Urban Decay Summer of Love Palette
3. Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner
4. Too Faced Mini Lash Injection
5. MUFE Eyebrow Corrector 4
6. Dior Addict Ultra Gloss 856 Little Red Dress
7. Too Faced Natural Eye, Neutral Eye Shadow Collection
8. Beauty Insider 500 Point Perk: Korres Beauty Must-Haves
   

I will do reviews this week on every product and include swatches and pictures but until then....gotta go!
