Dior Rouge Dior Andalouse #435



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!

    It's warm and sunny this side of the 49th parallel...
    I feel that you must be sharing the heat too.

    Happy Sunday!

  7. Dear Sparrows and Sparkles,
    that 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!
