Might As Well Face It, I’m Addicted to Dior

February 22nd, 2010 by Karen 64 Comments

I’m Addicted to Dior.

There, I said it.

And the eye look on the model above for the Addicted to Dior summer collection (coming April 21) is weakening my resolve. I love the seamless movement of her eyeshadows from pink to brown to gold, WORK!! The overall vibe, with the hair bear bangs and hot pink lips seems so Joan Collins circa Dynasty.

“The problem with beauty is that it’s like being born rich and getting poorer.” – Joan Collins

Addicted (above) might not have the refinement of spring’s Dior Lace (pic below), but I like it nevertheless.


Promotional shot from spring’s Dior Lace collection…

With the coral, gold, brown and pink color palette for eyes, lips and face, perhaps Dior’s just trying to exercise their edgy side for summer?

Things I’m keeping an eye out for…

  • The Addicted to Dior lip duo palettes look totally bling-tacular. Each comes with two glosses — one shiny and one glitter — able to be worn separately or mixed together.
  • Also looking forward to the Nude Glow Complexion Enhancer, a shimmery liquid apricot highlighter (subtle sheen) to wear beneath foundation or on bare skin.
  • Yes, Virginia, even if you already own 101 other pink lipglosses, you just might covet Dior Addict Crystal Gloss. A hot pink (SCORE!), the exact shade supposedly changes based on the body’s chemistry, creating a unique, personalized shade. Now aren’t we special? 🙂

I’m looking forward to seeing more from this collection, ladies, but what do you think? I don’t have confirmed US prices yet, but being Dior I’m assuming it won’t set any records for affordability, LOL!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. How was the rest of your Monday? Mine sure went by in a flash. I just finished dinner (a healthy homemade-ish bean and cheese burrito), so now it’s time for a quick workout before I crack open the March issue of Real Simple. Have a wonderful night! 🙂

          It’s pretty. It’s about two girls who move to LA & are cast in a reality show. Sound familiar? Hee hee if you like chick lit, then you’ll like it.

          If we meet up again, I’ll bring my kindle so you can with it.

    Ah, crap. I was able to pass up the last “lace” quints, as they looked similar to older quints…but I think I need both of those. I love it when Dior brings out warmer colors, because it seems like they do the cool taupes and silvers and purples so often.

        I dunno… those NARS palettes are pretty hot. How about getting just one and then waiting for this release? If you don’t like these colors when they come out then you can pick up the other palette.

    Oh and true story, DH and I were discussing the other day if we should take out additonal homeowners insurance just to cover my makeup. I mean think about it, With Dior, Nars, MAC etc. I have a small fortune in makeup. It would cost A LOT to replace this stuff. We aren’t going to (the agent would probably laugh us out of the office) but we thought realllllly hard about it.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
