MAKEUP | Dior Vacation Golden Ball 2024 Assortment | Beauty Proof

Bought by me and it was QUITE the splurge!

As a few of particularly from my Instagram, again in April whereas I used to be stress depart, I made a decision to dedicate my magnificence funds for the rest of 2024 to 1 model and that model was Dior! I used to be scrolling by means of Instagram and began seeing some their new releases, occasions and GWPs and it made me return into my outdated Dior press samples and reminisce. In doing so, I noticed that I had been neglecting a VERY good model with high quality formulations and naturally, FANTASTIC packaging. Through the years, I’ve been tiring of Sephora and their lack of shopper service so I’ve been shopping for all of my Dior merchandise nearly solely from the Dior counter at Holt Renfrew. I like that I’m shopping for from a Canadian division retailer and giving fee to an actual individual. I’ve additionally been rewarded with facials each month, invites to unique occasions with Dior in addition to GWPs which can be method higher than what I’ve ever obtained at Sephora. Suffice it to say, I’m going to be persevering with to buy with Holt Renfrew! 

I initially selected this quint because it matched my purple hair a little bit bit extra. Shades of taupe encompass a metallic silver coronary heart for a festive look and once I swatched that silver, I fell in love with the pigmentation and the way creamy the feel was. I’ve even worn it as an throughout shadow with a little bit little bit of that purple/gray (backside left nook) because the outer V.

All 5 shades swatched superbly and the taupe shades are good for each day at work. Typically I’ve discovered this palette simpler to make use of than I believed AND wore the metallic silver shade extra comfortably than I believed I’d! 

I picked up Golden Masquerade as an afterthought as I swatched it on the boutique and thought that it will be a better palette to put on because the shades had been barely extra impartial. Aside from the matte burgundy shade, the entire different shades are pretty muted. I believed these shades would conflict with my at the moment purple hair, however as a result of they weren’t as intense as I anticipated they find yourself brightening my eyes and face relatively than dramatizing them.

As a lot as I really like the packaging, excessive polish circumstances are type of the worst as a result of they get dirty so quick. They all the time appears to be like fairly disgusting when you begin utilizing them so I want there was a sample on them.

I HAD to have this restricted version Dior Addict case! I do know they’re such a money seize since you then want to purchase a separate lipstick for it, however what I have been doing is simply swapping the 2 shades I’ve amongst my circumstances.

These liquid lipsticks exist already in these shades, however for the Holidays a “sequin” end is added which is whenever you press your lips collectively to disclose a touch of sparkle. The method is tremendous easy and is a dream to use, however OMG they’re very drying particularly at work with the warmth occurring! I all the time have to use gloss or balm on prime which type of defeats the aim of a longwear lipstick, however I discover them simply too drying after the preliminary moisture wears off. Are you able to think about that I then have dry lips WITH glitter on them! It is type of a nightmare and I’m so unhappy these weren’t extra hydrating and the shades and preliminary feeling had been beautiful!

I like that this isn’t overly sparkly and appears very heat on the pores and skin. Whereas I do not put on highlighter repeatedly, I do love mixing coral/orange blush with rosy highlighters.
