Dior: Golden Jungle

I keep wanting to call this collection Golden Safari. To the point of having to redo all my labels. Might be because I actually went on one fairly recently. The Golden Jungle collection actually included four colors, two of which were covered last week. Bengale was a Neiman Marcus exclusive. However, I’m finding that Dior [...]

Dior – Crocodile Effects

I can’t say that I’ve been a big fan of the crackle effect (or shatter, fracture or this effect by any other name). But when I saw the Crocodile effect from Dior, I kinda had to get it. Really, how often does a high end polish indulge in fad finishes? Let’s talk about Golden Light [...]

CND: Pink Wishes

The CND Pink Wishes Duo has been sitting on my desk for a little while. I’ve covered quite a few of the CND duos (I think I’ve actually gotten them all) and there are ones that I love and ones that I hate. Pink Wishes is a split decision. Pink Wishes Color is a pale [...]

Dior Icy Halos

Icy Dew and Glacier were both part of the Spring 2012 Icy Halos collection that was released in Asia. Of course that meant hunting high and low for these to colors.. which invariably ended up with me making a purchase on eBay. From what I gather (and I’m certainly not the expert as I usually [...]

Dior Les Violets Hypnotiques

I was very much anticipating the release of these new Dior colors. More so than most collections because I had to pre-order them during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale and then wait for them to arrive. Nothing like a little delay to whet the appitite! Were they worth the wait? Definately. All three of them are deep [...]

Dior Flapper Pink and Silver Lake

Dior Flapper Pink came out with a bunch of other Dior colors several months ago when Dior revamped their brushes to the wider width. At first glance, the color is a pretty sedate pink that leans ever so slightly to peach. But if you look closely, you’ll notice the shimmer contains additional pink, lavender and [...]

Dior Holiday 2011 – Gold Stardust

Dior’s Holiday 2011 line is laden with gold shimmer. So appropriate for the holidays! And I have to say, I like every one of these, despite the misgivings I had about the gold shimmer possibly turning the reds into oranges. Mervielle, the polish that I had the most misgivings about, ended up being my favorite. [...]

A Story About a Brush

This group of Diors contains one older bottle and three newer bottles with the wider brushes. Now normally, I am less than thrilled with wider brushes. And when I realized Dior had moved to this wider style, my heart kind of fell. When I went to apply the first one of the newer colors, I [...]

Which Witch is Which? Dior Black Ink and Tuxedo

If you thought the two bottles on the left were dupes, you’d be wrong. So can you tell which one is Black Ink and which one is Tuxedo? They look sooooooo incredibly similar, don’t they? Dior came out with Black Ink last year when they introduced a bunch of new colors and a bunch of [...]
