DIOR SUMMER 2015: TIE DYE COLLECTION

Dior has hit the ball out of the park with their "Tie Dye" Summer Collection 2015. Although my love for Chanel is sky-high, Dior products come quite close (in my opinion, their summer 2015 collections are incomparable). 

Dior's Summer 2015 - Tie Dye Collection is impeccably beautiful ... Superb colors dipped in immaculate formulated products.  

The collection includes: 

• Diorskin Nude Tan Blush Harmony <two shades> $57
• Dior Addict Lipsticks <four shades> $33
• Dior Addict Fluid Sticks <three shades> $35
• Dior Addict Lip Maximizer <two shades - limited edition> $33
• Diorskin Nude BB Creme <limited edition> $45
• 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palettes <two shades - limited edition> $62
• Diorshow Kohl Stick <limited edition> $32
• Vernis Nail Colors <two shades - limited edition> $27
• Vernis Top Coat $28 

The "Coral Sunset" blush is packed in a silver compact etched with the iconic Dior cannage pattern and then gently placed inside a black velvet dust bag for protection. This product also comes with a mini kabuki brush, which is of great quality. 

The blush consists of a combination of four different shades (light yellow orange, warm orange, warm coral pink, iridescent pale yellowish white), that once fused together, results in a sheer, soft peach blush. The powder is quite smooth and embedded with subtle shimmer, which gives it the flexibility of being used as either a blush or a highlighter.  The layering of the product is very manageable and it does not allow for over-usage. 

The Dior Addict lipsticks and fluid sticks are simply stunning. The packaging is mostly similar between the two. The lipsticks consist of a clear design with a silver neckline and product carrier, while the fluid sticks are mainly the same, except a tad bit longer and half-way see-through. The lipstick's CD logo, different shade than the lipstick, runs through the entire product and offers beautiful, semi-sheer color with a glossy finish. One The contrasting colors give the Dior Addict Tie Dye Lipsticks a beautiful and unique look. 

Dior Addict Tie Dye Lipstick (Coral Trip) is a sweet coral with a red logo running through it, which results in a slightly red coral.

Dior Addict Tie Dye Lipstick (Fuchsia Utopia) is a dark pink  with a lighter pink logo within it, which results in a pop of fuschia pink.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick (Plaisir) is a gorgeous bright, cherry fuchsia (perfection for summer). One swipe and you receive the true color right on your lips with a perfect gloss finish. The product lasted about 4 hours, which after wearing off, left behind a really nice, even stain. 

Overall, the collection is stunning and its range of colors and products is impressive. I definitely recommend picking up a few items while you can.  

Have you picked up anything from this collection yet? If so, which item?

DIOR NUDE AIR SERUM

Dior might not always be the first in everything, but once they get on the bandwagon, they NAIL IT!! You might wonder what could be so groundbreaking about this foundation??? Well, in a nutshell, it's pretty awesome. 

The packaging of Dior Diorskin Nude Air Serum is lovely, as most IG members seem to agree on. Remember to shake the bottle before usage. Here is a tip: hold the dropper down while shaking the bottle and release once you're finished. This way, you use freshly-mixed foundation. Once I've moisturized and prepped my face with primer, I drip several drops on the back of my hand and use my fingertips to place it on my face. I use a stippling brush to apply it (beauty blender usage would result in less coverage - depends on your preference). Sometimes, I do alternate between the two. 

Dior Nude Air Serum offers a velvety matte finish and medium coverage with an incredible (not overpowering) scent. You seriously have to feel this liquid gold, in order to believe me!! If you have no obvious imperfections, you can probably achieve flawless skin while skipping concealer all together. The formula is seriously long-wearing. I have tested it without a primer, it has lasted about 7 hours; with a primer, you're looking at about 10+ hours usage.

While the finish on this foundation is more on the matte side, I do not find the formula dry or drying. I have normal skin (during summer months, I do have a slightly oil T-zone). I did not see any shine come through while wearing it. I cannot speak for any other skin types, but if you're normal, I think you'll like this!!

What are your thoughts? Will you check out this foundation?
