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! 🙂
Those eyeshadow palettes are gorgeous! I am drooling….
You and me both, girl!
That photo with the lace is gorgeous! I am loving the corals and bronzes in this collection…its totally got my name on it!
.-= Kajal Couture’s last blog post… How to Highlight Your Face =-.
Yeah, that’s one of my favorite Dior promo shots. It’s so elegant! I wish I could walk around looking like that, LOL!
Oh man, those quints look absolutely gorgeous! I’ve totally been wanting colors like that lately! (Ever since MAC’s Color Forecast, but I don’t want to depot…)
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… Valentine’s Day Love from Lulu ♥ =-.
Ha ha, I’m the same way!
Absolutely gorgeous!
My Monday went by pretty fast. Just catching up with some blogs & hopefully read from my Kindle before going to bed.
.-= marisol’s last blog post… Fun in the Snow =-.
What are you reading these days?
Trying to finish Lauren Conrad’s book. I got it a while back but can’t seem to finish it. My next book is called The Help. How about you?
.-= Marisol’s last blog post… Fun in the Snow =-.
I’ve been reading magazines lately; I fall into bed with the intention of picking up a book, but I can barely make it through a page before falling asleep!
How is LC’s book?
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.
.-= Marisol’s last blog post… Fun in the Snow =-.
The Addicted collection just looks more fun! It reminds me of how you feel when you have a crush 😀
.-= Vanessa H’s last blog post… Steve Madden Won Today =-.
So true! 🙂
Now I’d have thought this was a Spring collection as opposed to Summer but I like it! I’m hopelessly addicted to Dior 😛 The eyeshadow palettes remind me of the Parisian Lights palette though
.-= Paris B’s last blog post… Skincare and Cosmetics : A dupe or just duped? =-.
There seems to be a lot of that going on lately! There have been quite a few spring releases which I would’ve taken for fall or summer!
These palettes look beautiful and easy to wear too…love Dior!
Me too!
Uggghh… I am right there with you. But it’s a very expensive habit, isn’t it?
I’ve just started using the DiorSkin Forever foundation too… not bad! I’ve never worn foundation before, it’s a new experience for me.
.-= veronica’s last blog post… If I were a TV station… =-.
I’ve never tried that one before. How’s the coverage?
OMG!!!! I so want both the eye palettes!!! Can’t wait for this collection to get here, though I am still very much in love with the Pearl Glow 059 palette from the Spring Dentelle collection!

And Karen, may I borrow some photos from here? I will link back to this post, of course! 🙂
.-= Vonvon’s last blog post… Review: L’Oreal Paris True Match(TM) Super-Blendable Liquid Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid =-.
Sure! I sourced them from Lushious Beauty… you might want to link to them too (I have them here linked at the top of this post) to share the Dior love <3!!
Thank you Karen! Will link to both! 🙂

The eyeshadow colours look so glowy and pretty. I am also tempted to try the colour changing lipgloss. 🙂
.-= amy’s last blog post… FOTD MAC Colour Forecast 1 Stack 1 Crush Metal Pigments in Pinks and Purples =-.
Me too! I want both the quints, the gloss and the liquid highlighter.
I’ve never fallen under the Dior spell but Ready to Glow might change that.
Watch out girl! Once you fall prey to Dior’s charms it gets harder to resist the siren call!
You said it! I’m a HUGE fan of Dior. I spent like $1200 on their stuff just last year. I always buy something from each collection that comes out every year and I still go back, season after season. Its my all time fave and go-to brand for makeup and cosmetics =)
.-= Sheila’s last blog post… Finally back… haul video!! =-.
Nice! What are your favorite products from the line? I love the eyeshadows and the tinted moisturizer.
I don’t know if I’m daring enough for it, but it does look cool.
And I *loved* that song in the late 80’s/early 90’s! I defy anyone to listen to it and not play rock out to it. Impossible :).
Back in the day I thought those Addicted to Love girls were pretty darn hot… I wanted to go to school dressed like that (I was 11).
I bet you would have been the shiz!
That song and “Waiting for a Star to Fall” were my favorites . . . oh, the shame.
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.
.-= Marley’s last blog post… So, baby blue is really in for this spring =-.
Me too! I am going cuckoo for both of these. 🙂
That lipgloss has my name on it and so does that gold like eyeshadow.
Isn’t that pink so hot?!?
I like mostly anything bright. It looks so good.
I like bright stuff for lips, but I’m just getting around to appreciating bright eyes. 🙂
Crush Glow and Ready to Glow are awesome palettes. Sigh — Dior or Nars … what to get what to get. Im confused again!
Welcome to my world, girl! What items from Nars were you thinking about getting?
Ive told myself I would get the 2 Anniversary Palettes (Wild at Heart and Everlasting Love). Ive wanted those 2 since forever but they arent cheap …. and I said I would finally get them this weekend.
But now … im all confused again!!!
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.
Good suggestion …. and yep those NARS pallets are hottnesssss!!!!
That’s a pretty collection. I’m not a huge Dior fan but the lipgloss is tempting me.
.-= gio’s last blog post… Gilty Pleasures Weekly Blog Tour, 21/02/10 =-.
Really? For some reason I can see you as a Dior kinda girl!
totally wanting the complexion enhancers *swooon*
and I agree Karen the lace promo poster looks so much more refined than the new one…!
.-= Jaime’s last blog post… Nail Art: From Korea =-.
Me too! Imagine it beneath foundation or tinted moisturizer… I bet it’ll look so pretty and glowy!
Um…strangely enough I really want the nail polish in the second promotional picture. Even though it isn’t part of the collection? Huh.
Hey Aparnaa, That’s Silver Pearl 604, I believe. It’s still available at Nordstrom (both in-store and on the website).
God I LOVE Dior!
.-= Lucy’s last blog post… My general beauty loves and hates… =-.
Me too, especially the quints!
Curses to you Dior! You have a knack for stealing the money right out of my wallet!! Loving the quints, bright pink crystal gloss, complexion enhancers and the darling gloss key chain (?)!!!
.-= Cindy (Prime Beauty)’s last blog post… Mani of the Week – Essie Funny Face =-.
LOL, I think that’s what it is? I dunno, I kind of wanted it to be a bracelet.
Ooh, the Nude Glow Complexion Enhancer sounds right up my alley! 🙂
Ohhh agony and misery, I really just cannot buy anything extracurricular right now. The colors in this collection are just perfect for me. Oh wait, these aren’t out till April 21, Ooooo a number of these luscious lovelies will be mine!
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.
I would love to try Dior’s Nude Glow. <3
.-= Katie's last blog post… Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick Look (Part 01) =-.
That gloss…. WANT. I love the way it looks in the promo pic and am a sucker for makeup that changes colour according to body chemistry. (Plus it would go well with the new makeup I just bought today… 🙂 )
Lovely! Coral sure is a hit this season! I like the 2nd eye quint…a lot 😀
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Look – Viva Glam GaGa! =-.
Wow, that Joan Collins quote it’s so awesome! So is the collection, lovely!
kiss
