Dior 3 Couleurs Ready-To-Wear Smoky Eyes Palette in 781 Smoky Brown Review and Swatches





(5,5g/0,19oz. - 48USD) Dior's new range of eyeshadow palettes come with 3 coordinated shades. They are just the same formula with other Dior palettes but these are more compact.
First shade in this one is a muddy brown, second one is a sparkling taupe brown but these sparkles doesn't transfer on your eyelids as much. Last shade is a beige which is your base shade and has a soft frost finish.

Dior 5 Colors Designer Eyeshadow Palette in 708 Amber Design Review and Swatches




(0.15oz./4.4g - 59USD) I love how Dior makes these luxurious and convenient packagings. It's not bulky, it won't take unnecessary space plus it has a mirror inside. Comes with 2 double ended applicators, 3 ends have sponge tip and one of them has an eyeliner brush.
First shade on top left is amazing, one of my favorite brown eyeshadow ever. It has a velvety smooth texture, not powdery at all, blends seamlessly.  It has warm brown pearls even micro shimmers in it on a brown base.
Second shade on top right has a consistency that's very different than regular eyeshadows, it's something in between cream and powder eyeshadow. It has a very very sheer base color, almost invisible with a ton of champagne colored shimmers and glitters. It's better to use it with the sponge tip applicator otherwise it's hard to build up.
Third shade in the middle has a lot of pigmentation. Pale yellow gold with pale orange hue. It's a metallic shade.
Fourth shade on bottom left is almost as creamy as the second shade. It leans towards to sheer side. Pale gold and champagne shimmers on an ivory base.
Last but not least fifth shade is a blackened brown eyeliner. It's not comparable to MAC's or Bobbi Brown's gel liners but still it's usable. A bit dry, a bit sheer.

Rouge Dior in 451 Cinderella Review and Swatches





(0.12oz./3.4g - 32USD) I think this was a limited edition lipstick from one of Dior's previous collection, but it's still reachable in my area so here is my review about it. The ultimate reason that I got this lipstick I am such a sucker for the packaging. Very elegant and chic, Dior and Guerlain make the best packaging ever. But if you consider the formula I don't find it's the best working for me. My lips are dry and chapped all the time, so I need to have a lipstick that's moisturizing. I don't say that Rouge Dior's are drying, I find that they changed the formula as well as the packaging, they used to be a lot more dry. If you moisturize your lips prior to using, it's great.
The color is gorgeous, it's the muted version of Nars's Orgasm. Mid tone corally pink, it has pearlescent finish.

Dior Diorskin Loose Powder in 2 Transparent Medium Review and Swatches




(16g/0,56oz. - 48USD) I always admire Dior packaging, they are always phenomenal and high quality. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but this jar is huge, but not that heavy so it might be quite handy to travel with unless you lose the puff like me. As you can see huge amount of powder sitting on top. When you try to use it, it spills all over, ugh!
Anyways I don't have quite the experience with loose powders actually, I have only used Chanel and a Mac one before. And I haven't been using any for some time. I didn't realize if there was any difference between the all 3 that I have used. They all work the same for me, none of them was special. So this one is just a loose powder, it has almost no coverage or color, maybe a hint. It mattifies your skin but after a couple of hours, even less in some cases, your skin starts to look greasy again. Maybe it's my skin that's too oily, but I don't know... So if I keep applying it through out the day, I feel like I have too much layers, I really hate that feeling. However I still like the feeling when you first apply it, it's like a soft veil covering your skin, very smooth.

Dior Backstage Eyeliner Brush Review



(27USD) I have read many good reviews about this brush and I was like are we talking about the same brush? Because mine won't give you a precise line, I use it as an eyebrow brush and works perfectly, it's flat shaped but it's width is very thick that won't provide a nice thin line. And the bristles are very stiff they hurt my eyelids. But if you want thick blended out line, it might work you. It looks very chic and elegant but it just won't work for me as en eyeliner brush.

Dior Serum de Rouge Lipstick in 510 Nude Serum Review and Swatches



(2g/0,07oz. - 34USD) First I want to talk about this lovely packaging, it has cannage pattern all over and this little tube is very heavy so it feels very expensive. The good side about this twist up tube is that the lipstick goes back when you twist it backwards, so you don't have a lipstick that's messed inside of the lid. The product is also as good as the tube, this is my favorite formulation out of all Dior lipsticks. The main reason is it's very well nourishing, it's like a treatment, your lips will tell the difference, at least mine does. I don't know if it'll work for everyone but my lips are extremely dry and chapped and this lipstick makes them feels very nice. Nude is basically a nude but deeper and peachier than your regular nude, it's very glossy but not too much so it will look like lipstick on your lips not gloss. I would be the perfect lipstick if it was more opaque.

Rouge Dior in 028 Rose Comedy vs. Mac Lipstick in Impassioned




Christian Dior Rouge Dior 028 Rose Comedy, Pink Comedy (3,4g/0,12oz. - 32USD) : I know they are not really dupes but pretty close. Anyway, no product can beat this lipstick when it has this marvellous packaging, very elegant. The smell is amazing too, it smells just like a lipstick if you know what I mean? If a lipstick had it's own smell that would be it. I have a weird problem about Rouge Diors, they tend to move toward the edges on my lips and I hate that. Other than that I love the color, it's a muted creamy red, it's still vibrant but not as bright as a red.
Mac Impassioned Lipstick (3g/0,1oz. - 14,50USD): This one is more pinkish version of a muted red. They are both drying, ofcourse MAC one has a lot more pigmentation.

Christian Dior Rouge Dior in Diorama #66 Review and Swatches




Rouge Dior has cannage design on the packaging which is so sleek, but the edges of the packaging peels off in time so that's a shame for this beauty.
Diorama is a burnt orange color with a frosty to metallic finish, it's not very moisturizing you can see my lips look dry.
