Dior Miss Dior Millefiori

Dior launched some new pieces in their Miss Dior Millefiori Boutique collection with stunning packaging. I ordered a few of the makeup items but they have some beautiful scented products including a Miss Dior limited-edition candle, Bath Bombs and fun Bath Pearls.

I hauled four items to try including the:

Miss Dior Eyeshadow Palette

Dior 5 Couleurs Couture in 1947 Miss Dior

I’ve been really impressed with the Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palettes lately and even though I’m not a big purple/mauve eyeshadow wearer the Miss Dior palette looked neutral enough for me to try. It pulls more pink and plum than the stock photo but has a lovely mix for fall. Texture is ultra soft and the mattes are almost creamy. Pigment is medium but easily buildable for a soft smokey plum pink eye.

The Miss Dior Eyeshadow palette has a soft matte medium pink, sparkling light iridescent shimmer, soft reddish-brown satin shade, medium pearly pink rose and a darker matte brown-plum color.

Miss Dior Lips

Dior Addict Case in the Couture Flowers for the Addict Lipsticks

There are three formulas for the Miss Dior color in the Dior Addict (hydrating shine lipstick), Addict Lip Glow (color reviving balm) and Rouge Dior Velvet (classic lipstick). I hauled the 2 glossy looking formulas since I’m a glossy lip kind of person.

There are a few limited-edition lipstick cases to go with the Dior Addict lipsticks. The floral pattern caught my eye and it’s a stunning one! It is made of canvas so I don’t know how I will be able to keep it clean from finger prints or smudges. It’s so pretty though!

The Dior Addict Lipstick formula is one of my favorites from the line. Has a smooth texture, glossy finish, medium to full coverage and I love the way these feel on the lips! The 1947 Miss Dior shade is a pretty soft rosewood with a slightly cool-rose undertone but still pulls neutral. It’s cooler and a bit deeper in color compared to the Nude Look (my favorite).

Dior Addict Lipstick Miss Dior

The Miss Dior Lip Glow is also described as a soft rosewood shade. It looks very similar in the tube to the Rosewood (another favorite). Since these are color reviving balms and will shift in color they will look different on everyone. On my lips Rosewood pulls more true to tube while Miss Dior pulls more of a flushed pink. Both are pretty for that natural flushed kind of glow. I prefer the Rosewood shade but both are really lovely.

Diorlisse Abricot

Diorlisse Abricot Shade 500

I have one more thing I wanted to share which is the Diorlisse Abricot. This isn’t a new product and is technically nail care as a ridge filler and smoother, but on its own Shade 500 is the perfect pale glossy pink on me. Two coats gives me the smooth semi-sheer pale pink look I want without any streaks. It also dries relatively fast compared to other brands. It’s what I wanted a lot of the Essie pale shades to look like (but take forever to dry, are always too sheer and usually look streaky on me).

If you’re in search for a nice pale pink with a wide rounded brush definitely check either color out in this formula!

Dior Miss Dior Millefiori

Overall love all the items I hauled. I think the eyeshadow palette is really pretty although not super unique. I like that the colors work well though. They layer beautifully and there is enough variation for a complete eye look. Both lip colors are great for fall. Also not super unique with similar options out there but I do see myself getting a lot of use out of the Dior Addict Miss Dior shade.

In case you missed it you can see what I hauled and swatched in the new Rouge Dior Forever longwear lipstick lineup in this post here. The colors are transfer proof and among the longest-wearing formulas I’ve tried!

Base Makeup Patrick TA

Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo

September 27, 2022

Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo

I’ve been playing with the new Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo ($52) along with his new Dual-Ended Complexion Brush ($45) and his new foundation has made it to my favorites list! It is definitely in my Top 5 of all time for makeup bases. If you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend venturing to your nearest Sephora to see it in person if you can.

Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo

Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo Light Medium 2

The new Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation is a skin-like base that looks like skin but better. It has a buildable finish that evens out the skin tone, covers imperfections and spots in a natural way, has good lasting power and still manages to let the skin breathe.

The compact also comes with a Finishing Powder which is a sheer tinted pressed powder. I was able to attend a zoom master class with Patrick Ta and he likes to use this only on the T-zone. It has minimal pigment in it to set the cream product and look natural. I am a full face powder kind of person because I like everything to be set evenly. It’s sheer but blurs the skin and I love that it doesn’t darken or oxidize on the cream.

I tried a few different shades and the colors I tested are sheer enough that I can make them all work on my skin. I used the shade finder tool at Sephora and my match was Light Medium 2 which turned out to be a spot on match.

Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo

Patrick Ta Major Skin Creme Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo Light Medium 1, 2 and 3

I have Light Medium 1, Light Medium 2 and Light Medium 3 for the creme foundation swatched. Since the powder is really sheer it doesn’t really show up well in a swatch but each one has a slightly different undertone to match the cream.

On me you can see Light Medium 1 is more olive, Light Medium 2 is more golden and Light Medium 3 is more cool/rose toned.

Compared to other bases I really can’t think of anything quite like it. I’ve used and loved the MAC Studio Tech Cream-To-Powder Foundation but it’s more full coverage and has a matte finish. It has a natural finish like the Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick, but the Patrick Ta feels a little more creamy, a little lighter weight and slightly more balmy. To me the new Patrick Ta Creme Foundation is almost like what you would get if you put the Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Tint in a solid cream compact form.

Here’s a BEFORE (bare skin) and AFTER with (creme + powder)

Dual-Ended Complexion Brush

Patrick Ta Dual-Ended Complexion Brush

Patrick Ta also launched a new Dual-Ended Complexion Brush designed just for the the duo compact. It works really well and I love how it blends everything seamlessly. Since it is double ended I do wish it has some kind of cap or cover for it. The brush is very soft and smooth. It has the perfect density for both the cream side and powder side for flawless application. As much as I love it, I think you can use what you have.

Bottom line love. It’s everything I want in a foundation and powder! Natural, fragrance free, buildable, slightly radiant, blurring and great color range. Highly recommend. Since I have 3 shades I can make work for me I’m pretty well stocked at the moment, but I will 100% be repurchasing once it’s used up.

Available at Sephora and Patrick Ta Beauty.

P.S. Thank you to all of you who have sent me messages about the hurricane. We are safe and staying put based on our zone and my in-laws are with us. Kitty and puppy send you all lots of kisses. We will most likely be experiencing power outages so I may not be able to respond over the next few days. Thank you for your heartfelt notes!

Eye Makeup Tom Ford Beauty

Tom Ford White Suede Eye and Cheek Palette

September 25, 2022

Tom Ford White Suede Eye and Cheek Palette

There’s a new palette from Tom Ford Beauty called the White Suede Eye and Cheek Palette ($150) which is quite the splurge available at Bloomingdale’s for their 150th Anniversary and also at Tom Ford. The colors looked beautiful and very wearable so I ordered it sight unseen.

Tom Ford White Suede Eye and Cheek Palette

The texture is similar to the Bitter Peach Eyeshadow Quad and Sheer Cheek Duo so I had high hopes the new palette would be just as amazing. Unfortunately this palette was a miss for me. I posted an Instagram Reel with the palette in action and a mini review for those curious.

Texture for the cheek colors and eyeshadows is very stiff just like the Sheer Cheek Duo, however the pigment was lacking and very difficult to layer.

The blush and highlighter shades actually performed well, the colors include a soft dusty rose and pale pink. The two on the skin just aren’t as exciting to me as some other shades. Definitely not unique enough to justify the steep price.

3 of the 4 eye shades applied very sheer. The color story is just beautiful but the pigment and color payoff were lacking. Shades include a matte pale pink bone, a copper rose shimmer, a soft rose brown tan and a deeper chocolate brown. The only shade that applied seamlessly was the copper rose color (which is SO beautiful).

Tom Ford White Suede Eye and Cheek Palette swatches

If you watch my video you can see how much I have to dig the brush into the pans to pick up any color. On the arm colors swatched ok with a dense brush. The eye area is more delicate and mine can’t really handle the level of packing and layering required for the colors to show up. The shadows kind of drag on the skin.

In the look below I pulled some older favorites to play with:

Tom Ford White Suede Eye and Cheek Palette

Overall not worth the splurge and if I’m brutally honest this palette I don’t think it would be worth it even it were reasonably priced. Bottom line: save your money, splurge on something that performs well and doesn’t require lots of layering or extra work to make work.

I’ve still found some recent Tom Ford loves in the beauty lineup so I do think there’s lots to love from the line. This palette is just not one of them.

If you’ve been curious about this palette (like I was) I hope you found this review helpful!

Bronzer + Blush Gucci Beauty

Gucci Beauty Luminous Matte Beauty Blush

September 19, 2022

Gucci Beauty Luminous Matte Beauty Blush

Gucci launched new cheek products called the Luminous Matte Beauty Blush ($49 each). I hauled 5 of the 6 colors to try. These are beautiful soft blushes with a luminous sheen. At $49 each they are incredibly expensive but I’m happy to report that each one performed well and I think they’re exquisite!

Texture is soft and smooth. I like that the pigment is medium but easy to build and layer without looking or feeling heavy. They feel very natural on the skin and blend in seamlessly. Swatching on the arm/hand doesn’t do the product – they look so much prettier on the face!

The Luminous Matte Beauty Blushes are scented with a strong floral scent. It seems to fade after a few minutes (or it’s a scent my nose gets used to).

Lasting power is very good. The color stayed put on the cheeks all day. I think the packaging is really cute too!

Gucci Beauty Luminous Matte Beauty Blush

01 Silky Rose is a light pink

02 Tender Apricot is a pale light peach

03 Radiant Pink is a healthy natural pink

04 Bright Coral is a soft coral

05 Rosy Beige is a mauve

Swatches of all five shades I hauled below:

It’s been a while since I did a dedicated Gucci Beauty review so in case you missed previous features, here are a few quick thoughts on some other items I’ve tried:

  • Gucci Natural Fluid Foundation in 280C – I love this formula for a traditional satin fluid foundation. It has medium to full coverage with a natural finish. It is long-wearing on me. Has a slight blurring effect.
  • Gucci Matte Beauty Powder Shade 05 – This is a nice pressed finishing powder with a natural finish. Has sheer coverage and looks very natural. Has a sweet floral scent.
  • Glow and Care Shine Lipstick – These are some of my favorite glossy lipsticks! Lots of nice colors to choose from! Sally Soft Honey is probably my favorite!
  • Eclat Soleil Luminous Bronzer – I have 3 shades and like 03 the best for a nice warm bronze with a subtle glow. Shades 1, 2 and 3 reviewed here.
  • Multipurpose Hydrating and Nourishing Balm – One of my favorite multi-purpose balms! I love this on the lips for moisture. Wish it came in a stick or squeeze tube form, but the formula is excellent.
  • L’Obscur Lengthening Mascara – A nice lengthening and defining mascara I’ve repurchased several times. I think it’s worth splurging on!
  • Brume de Beaute Beauty Mist – This is a lovely bi-phase refreshing mist and can also double as a setting spray. Feels super luxurious and makes the skin feel refreshed.
  • Glossy Nail Polish – Love the shade Annabel Rose for a beautiful neutral. I have a couple other colors and really like the formula for an opaque finish, long-lasting wear and flattering shades.

Gucci Beauty Luminous Matte Beauty Blush Review and Swatches

Overall really happy with the formula and colors! If I had to pick just 2, I would say 03 Radiant Pink and 04 Bright Coral are my top 2. I still think they are overpriced (even if it is Gucci). But they perform really well and I’m happy with them.

Available at Sephora, Nordstrom and Gucci.

Diptyque

Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain Collection

September 12, 2022

Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain Collection

As the ultimate Diptyque lover I could not resist picking up some of the new pieces from the Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain Collection. This fall they’ve expanded their iconic scent 34 in a collection of new candle sizes and diffusers. The candles are cased in a beautiful off-white color. They’ve repackaged the room spray in a clear glass spritzer bottle to match the other scents.

The 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain scent is a green spicy floral. It’s a unique distinct scent with a mix of fresh green notes, moss, florals with a little bit of warm sharp spices swirled in. I’ve found it to be one of the strongest Diptyque scents I’ve tried with the most potent throw. It has a unique feel to it and if there’s one scent that sums up Diptyque I would say it’s definitely this one.

Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain Collection

At this time they’ve seem to have discontinued this in the original 220 g form (rounded rectangular porcelain format) as it’s nowhere to be found online now.

I purchased 3 of the items from the collection including the 300g Candle ($115), 600g 3-wick Porcelain Candle ($220) and the Room Spray ($78). This scent is also available in the Hourglass Diffuser, Car Diffuser, Electric Wall Diffuser, Home Fragrance Diffuser and Scented Oval and Outdoor Candle Size.

Room Spray

Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain Room Spray

I love room sprays as a nice home refresher. I’ve tried quite a few brands and the ones from Diptyque are very good. They have very good throw and strength. They linger for quite some time but of course will not last as long as a candle or diffuser. In our home we use Baies and Figuier the most. The 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain Room Spray is one we used to own in the original white packaging and it was one of Andrew’s favorites.

Diptyque Room Sprays

34 Boulevard Saint-Germain 300G Candle

Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain 300G Candle

The 300 gram candles are larger than the standard ones which are 190 grams. The 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain variation comes in an off-white frosted glass jar. I think it’s a stunning one! This is the same size as their Color Scented Candles that come in the black, green, moss, amber and red jars. Since they are larger they do have a stronger throw than the standard ones. I’ve splurged on several before, I really love Amber during the fall-winter season for a nice alternative to pine or pumpkin scents. This one has about 75 hours of burn time.

Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain 300G Candle

 

34 Boulevard Saint-Germain 3-Wick Candle 600G

Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain 3-Wick Candle 600G

I also splurged on the 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain 3-wick Candle ($220) which has 90 hours of burn time. This is made of porcelain with 3 wicks and has even stronger throw! Andrew and I have owned this size in the Baies, Feu de Bois and Roses. These are quite the splurge but the larger ones with multiple wicks really do have better throw.

Diptyque 34 Collection

I thought I’d add a few other thoughts on the other formats in this collection:

Diptyque Oval, Diffusers, Etc.

The Scented Ovals are beautiful and have decent throw straight out of the box. However they fade as time goes by and to me they just aren’t worth the splurge. They do make for a beautiful decorative piece but the scent’s lasting power is pretty much existent after a month.

The Home Fragrance Reed Diffuser has very strong continuous throw. The glass base is very thick and sturdy and it’s beautiful! The pros are that it lasts long, has good throw and makes for a beautiful accent piece. Cons are the basically the nature of reed diffusers. They’re continuous so you can’t really turn off the scent. Also the reeds catch dust particles and since they soak up the oil/scent any debris in the air sticks to it. However this is the case with any reed diffuser. All you need to do is wipe them down occasionally.

The Hourglass Diffuser is one of my favorite purchases from the brand. I first bought this as a gift to a friend one year. She loved it so much I decided to them buy one for our home. I prefer the hourglass diffuser to the reed version. You activate the diffuser by turning it over. When the fragrance flows from one side to the other and scent is dispersed into the air over an hour.

I tried the Car Diffuser when it first launched in 2018 and I was completely disappointed. It didn’t last long, didn’t grip well and it was extremely expensive. I’m not sure if they’ve changed the design at all since then but I did not have luck with these (even though they look beautiful!).

Diptyque 34 Collection

That wraps up my recent Diptyque haul! While these are quite the splurge they were 100% worth it for me as I love the scent! It’s been quite a long time since I’ve been to Paris but I still have fond memories. If you’ve been following a long time you might remember this photo from Paris 2015.

New Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadows

September 2, 2022

Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadows

The new Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadow Palettes have arrived and they are stunning! The collection also features two new Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliners. I have swatches of everything for you today! Available now at Chanel and Nordstrom.

Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadow palettes are limited-edition inspired by the iconic Chanel tweed pattern. As a long time die hard Chanel fan I feel like these are truly special. They added so many extra special touches from the embossed tweed print on the shadows to the cute small tweed sleeves for each palette!

The shadows are soft and smooth. They have an almost bouncy feel to them. The finish/shimmer varies depending on the palette. Pigment also varies per palette depending on the individual shadow texture, but overall each one has a smooth finish.

01 Tweed Cuivre

01 Tweed Cuivre is my favorite out of all the palettes. It’s also the most shimmery. Colors include a deeper bronze shimmer, a medium bronze, a sandy gold shimmer (my favorite kind of tone) and a sparkley silvery gold topper. This is the palette of my dreams! I live for bronzey gold tones and this one is stunning. Pigment is medium but buildable. It reminds me a little bit of the Charlotte Tilbury Bella Sofia Palette but with different undertones.

02 Tweed Pourpre

02 Tweed Pourpre is a satin finish palette with purple and pink tones. Pigment is medium but with a dense brush you can build color. You can see the shimmer when light hits the skin, but on the eyes it has an almost semi-matte finish. Colors include a soft satin plum, a salmon pink with light pink shimmer, a muted mauve, a deeper plum. I didn’t manage to photograph a look with this one but I really love the look Erin Nicole did onYouTube! If you haven’t checked her out you definitely should!

03 Tweed Fauve

03 Tweed Fauve is a warm toned palette. I have not tried this on the eyes yet but it swatched smoothly and the colors layered well when I swatch tested them. Colors include a deep orange, a shimmery copper gold, satin brown, pretty peach shimmer. The color theme is very warm but has a cozy fall-vibe.

04 Tweed Brun Et Rose

04 Tweed Brun Et Rose is a neutral-cool toned palette with sheer-medium color payoff. You will need to use a dense brush with some layering to have the colors show up with more intensity but I think that is the beauty of this. You can create a soft smokey eye or a more dramatic look by layering more of the deep color.

below wearing Le Vernis in New Dawn

Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadow 04 Tweed Brun Et Rose

Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed Eyeshadow 04 Tweed Brun Et Rose

It pulls more neutral-warm on my arm but on my eyes/face it looks more cool-toned. It has a soft oyster grey pearl (love this!), a warm taupe satin, a pale pink sparkle topper (so pretty) and a deeper cool brown. I packed them on very heavily in the swatch. This is my second favorite.

The color story reminds me of Mystic Eyes (original one with the square pans) and also of Tisse Rivoli. It also seems like it could be a softer less frosty version of Tom Ford Nude Dip.

Last I have a look at the two new Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliners ($34 each). Both colors are really beautiful. 52 Cuivre Dore is a copper shimmer and Bois Noir is a soft shimmer brown. Both give a subtle look to the eye. I think they’re beautiful!

Chanel Stylo Yeux Eyeliner Cuivre Dore and Bois Noir

I posted an Instagram Reel with video swatches to try and show the colors in action and in different lighting on Instagram. Overall I think the palettes are stunning. For me 01 Tweed Cuivre is the one I would say is a must-have for me because I love the color scheme and shimmer. 04 Tweed Brun Et Rose comes in close second, although I do think it’s dupeable.

02 Tweed Pourpre and 03 Tweed Fauve aren’t really colors I wear, but I do think they are beautiful palettes. I rarely ever wear purples but based on a few past looks I’ve done with purple palettes some of you have said I should wear it more!

Chanel Fall 2022 Rouge Allure Lipstick | The Beauty Lookbook

As promised I have a look at the new Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Lip Colors ($45 each) for fall. I have 9 of the 12 new neutrals to share swatches of. As a neutral lip lover I could not be more excited for these! All of the colors are available now online at Chanel.com.

Chanel Fall 2022 Rouge Allure Lipstick | The Beauty Lookbook

 

The Rouge Allure Lipstick is one of my long-time favorite formulas, although a number of my favorite shades were limited-edition or have been discontinued by now. This is a classic lipstick formula with a luminous glow. Glides on beautifully on the lips. Medium buildable coverage with most shades, the bolds being very opaque. These have a very subtle almost skincare scent but it’s barely there.

Lasting power is medium – they have a glossy finish so they’re not super long wearing but they will stay put as long as you don’t have any contact with your lips. It’s a formula I don’t mind re-applying!

Colors for fall are in the neutral range. There are light shades, medium tones and deeper colors. I skipped the brown tones since I rarely end up wearing them. Every single color I tried has a beautiful smooth texture. The lighter shades are smooth and have very good pigment. The deeper tones are also smooth (no streaking or patchy texture).

In indoor natural light:
