Thank you for all the lovely swatches! Everything looks interesting. (My eyes go right to the pinks.)
I love the cute mini pumpkins! ๐ ๐ ๐
Yay for all the pinks @tsavorite , so fresh ! I love minis! I always look forward to finding these little rascals and piling them all over! ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐
I love the idea of mixing the sets as gifts, @Sunnysmom! The Gucci blush looks amazing. Iโm thinking of getting the peach color or I may get a Westman Atelier set. Iโve heard good things about Sweed, but I havenโt tried the yet. Thank you for your review!
These brands are killing it (and me ๐ญ!) with all the terrific blush formulas @curlychiquita ! The Sweed is unique and very flattering, thoughtful line I think. The peach blush will be so perfect for you! I love all the WA sets! So clever to keep the shades LE almost forever. Grr. Lol Iโm dying for the lip trio for the red in it but the others wonโt work! Wanna split it?! ๐ฅฐ
Thanks so much @SportyGirly125 ! So many amazing products out for gifts and ourselves now! ๐
@Sunnysmom You picked some nice sets! I donโt think Gee was on my radar, but now Iโll have to check โem out. Good to know about the RMS lip oils; I wondered how sheer they really are. Lovely swatches, as always!
There are so many cute sets this year @WinglessOne ! Oof. Yup same with me. NM has them as well tho not all the lip shades I see on their site. Need to try them next tho I have zero business doing so! The lip pencil is comfortable as is the lip crayon. You should def try the RMS. I usually think lip oils are too thin or never enough color but these do not disappoint imo. ๐
Dior:
DIOR Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Sequin Lipstick shades Stars and Sensation - @danielledanielle and I think @itsfi were curious about Stars. Iโve got feedback and plenty of lip swatches for you and anyone else whoโs curious:
First off, these are liquid mattes, just like the regular non-Sequin shades. If your lips are as fussy as mine are about liquid matte dryness, youโll want both a good lip balm (Aquaphor Ointment for me) plus maybe a non-drying lip primer for extra cushioning. In my photos below, Iโm just wearing Aquaphor underneath Stars. Also, I didnโt use a lip liner (my choice would be PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil Deep Void) so my outlineโs kinda messy. I usually use liner with liquid mattes so I donโt have to worry about rushing to clean up any mistakes, given how quickly these dry down.
Hereโs 2 coats of Stars during Diorโs recommended 5-minute dry down:
After 5 minutes, Dior says press your lips together to bring out all the glitter. Hereโs how that looks:
Even with a thin Aquaphor base, my lips are wishing Iโd added a primer before lipstick. This isnโt the driest liquid matte formula Iโve ever used (that dishonor still goes to either ABH or Lime Crime; letโs call that a tie), but itโs drier than a NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment. It doesnโt feel gritty despite all the glitter. Next time I wear it (or first time I wear my other shade, Sensation) though, Iโll definitely use more Aquaphor and my trusty MAC lip primer.
Starsโ deep purple color is transfer-proof, but its pink glitter is not. At all. Your lips will fairydust everything they touch. I didnโt notice any fragrance or scent during application or wear. In my photos, you can see where the color sheered out a bit after I pressed my lips together, particularly on my bottom lip. Iโm surprisingly not mad about thatโฆ I kinda like how that looks. But if you want full purple opacity, I recommend applying it over a full lip base of dark lip liner.
Speaking of layering, Stars does pretty well under lip gloss. Here it is under LH Cosmetics Infinity Glass (a clear, very lightweight, truly non-stick gloss):
Diorshow Stylo 24H-Wear Waterproof Eyeliner shade Pearly Ruby - miiight be too close to shade Pearly Coral on my skin tone, but Iโm not swatch-comparing them tonight. Lemme live in denial for a few hours.
DIOR Dior Addict Shine Lipstick shade Divine Plum - hmm, this seems sheerer than I expected. But I havenโt tried it on my lips yet. (Still wearing Stars right now.)
Silver tier welcome gift + GWP - itโs not often I get a jigsaw puzzle in the mail. ๐ The GWP are #DIOR Diorshow Maximizer 4D Lash Primer-Serum for Length, Volume, Curl & Definition and 3 fragrances, including DIOR J'adore L'Or Eau de Parfum.
Hand swatches of everything:
@WinglessOne fabulous haul! That lip shade looks beautiful on you, and I love the sparkle! Thanks for sharing your feedback. Hope you enjoy it!
And now I have Javert singing Stars in my head now. The shade looks lovely and reminds of the Ciate black glitter lipsticks a few years back. Haha transferring fairy dust! Better than bloody murder on your coffee cup with a red lippie ๐ @WinglessOne
@Buootiful Ah, I couldnโt remember who had a similar sparkly liquid matte. Ciatรฉ, I shouldโve known! ๐คฃ I bet they still sell itโฆ asking Googleโฆ hmm, their Glitter Flip lipstickโs only on their UK site now, but shade Storm (the black one) is listed there.
I actually donโt mind lipstick transferring to cups, unless itโs a liquid matte. I mean, the main selling point of liquid mattes is โno color transfer,โ so when one does transfer a lot on my cup, I get annoyed. I wear bullets and glosses far more often than liquid mattes, though. Besides, itโs kinda fun sometimes to leave blue, purple, black, green, teal, or orange lip prints on coffee cups. ๐
The shade Stars is a beautiful color and even more beautiful on you!! Enjoy:)
thanks for the info on the Dior Sequins @WinglessOne . I'm tempted for sure. That deep color looks so cool on you.
