When I'm not wearing something neutral or pink, I love a coral or peachy smile in the summer. This year, it's courtesy Dior Rouge Andalouse #435 with Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Glow #236 over.
For me, Andalouse is pretty bright (Sephora lists as a "bright coral") and the gloss softens it up a bit as well as adding that shine - making the color more peachy and subtle. I've found the Dior Addict brush to load with quite a bit of gloss from the tube which can get a little gloppy so I have to wipe off quite a bit on the side. It's also on the stickier/heavier side of gloss - compared to say Nars or Chanel Glossimer - in my opinion, so I apply pretty sparingly.
The Rouge Dior seems to be a pretty typical lipstick formula - not as hydrating as the Dior Addict I wrote about in the last post - but not drying either. Just a nice lipstick in a range of pretty colors.

Neutrals are what I wear most of the time - I have two current favorite combos - one a little darker, the other very natural. I'll post on those next.
Happy Weekend!

That's a lovely shade on you.
ReplyDeleteIt's warm and sunny this side of the 49th parallel...
I feel that you must be sharing the heat too.
Happy Sunday!
Thank you hostess! Yes, what a gorgeous sparkling weekend. I've missed the sunshine. xo

ReplyDeleteHey sweetie, how do you like those Stuart W Donut gladiators? My fave shoe brand (tied with TB) for sheer perfect fit!
Beautiful color!!! You also have a beautiful and VERY white smile! This is coming from the girl who married an Orthodontist:)
ReplyDeleteJCAUNCMom - thanks! I ordered them from zappos and got notice they've just shipped. I'll do a review soon :) I have 3 pairs of SW I really like but they are very different.
ReplyDeleteTricia - thank you! I got braces off my lower teeth last year... it was only for 6 months but the third time! This time, permanent retainer. :)
Gorgeous shad of coral! BTW those BR Wedges..I just bought two pair last week one in orange and the other in Indigo! ;)
ReplyDeleteDear Sparrows and Sparkles,
ReplyDeletethat is a rare case that somebody can wear pink and peach - I always wear pink, but peach drains the colour out of my face and makes me looked washed out. But on your picture I see that you can wear it prettily!
Diary & Britta - thank you and thanks for visiting :)
