For part 2 of my series on Dior’s State of Gold holiday collection, I’ve rounded up the sparkliest of sparkly holiday makeup for you.
I’m of the mind that sparkles aren’t just for special occasions either, a hint of sparkle during the day is totally ok with me!
The Dior Fusion Mono shadow in 631 Blazing is described as a pink-tinged amber but appears on skin as a light warm gold.
The thought behind this shade it that it gives “the illusion of fireworks in a shimmering gossamer veil”.
This is my first experience using a Dior Fusion Mono Eyeshadow and I just love the bouncy mousse-gel texture. It’s easiest to apply with a sponge-tip but I have also just used my finger.
Shown here on the lid and inner corner, there was NO fallout and this just stuck to my lid (with some light patting).
Wear time was 8+ hours with no creasing. This shadow is the real deal!
There are two shades of Dior Addict Gloss in the holiday collection, both stunning in their own right.
The first, 613 Cygne Noir, is described as a claret red with a mirror-like shine.
And from what I’ve been reading, Cygne Noir is French for Black Swan! The sparkle in this warm rose gloss is out of this world. It’s multi-dimensional and just packed in there.
The gloss comes with a brush applicator that makes it easy to control the sparkle and get a nice thick layer of gloss on the lips.
Formula is non-gritty and not too tacky. This actually felt like I had a lip treatment on it was so comfortable and sooting.
322 Sparkle is described as a beige wih metallic shimmer.
This one is a bit more delicate than the Cygne Noir, with only a subtle amount of gold shimmer, making it a great gloss to wear on its own or on top of deeper lipstick shade.
The shimmer is just a nice gold with slight pink shift and the gloss is a barely there beige nude.
It makes my lips extremely glossy and shiny and even makes them look a bit fuller.
Bling, bling, bling! Look at those sparkles!
The Dior State of Gold Holiday collection is available at all Dior counters now (The Bay, Holt Renfrew and Sephora).
Stay tuned next week for the scoop on the gorgeous eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks!
