Review: Dior Diorskin Nude BB Creme

I planned this post a while ago but wanted to test the product a little bit longer! This is myDiorskin Nude BB creme in 001 light which I bought for about 40 € in Douglas (30 ml). I knew that Dior already had another BB crème, the Hydra Life BB creme, but I wasn’t interested back then. This one though caught my interest through reviews and swatches because I am looking for slightly pink undertones and a very light shade!

The packaging is not as high quality as it could be, but at least they made it with a pump-mechanism for easy portioning. On the other hand I’m afraid that there will be lots of product left in the tube that I will only get out by cutting the tube open…It has SPF 10 but I’m not interested in SPF haha Anyways, here’s a swatch:

I love that it’s so so light and really has pink undertones, the smell is very faint, which is good because it is so neutral, only slightly perfumed! It blends freakishly easy, almost melts into my skin! By now I was already convinced but what I liked more was the effect on my face!

There is not that much to cover these days, aside from my dark eye-circles and evening out the complexion generally. My face looks kinda photoshopped afterwards because it is just so soft without giving a make-upy look! Most people complain about the low coverage of the Diroskin Nude BB creme but I think it is just right, if it was more covering it would not have this light texture that makes your skin feel like you’re not wearing foundation at all! The shade fits my skin perfectly, I don't have to blend anything on my neck. It stays on me for the whole day without turning greasy (no idea how that is possible!). I love it. If it wasn’t for the price this would be my HG foundation, but I might just ditch all other foundations and only buy this every 3 months… (That’s because you don’t need a lot of product, a huge plus with such an expensive one!). So yeah, will buy again!

Catrice BB Allround Foundation

Again my beloved drugstore make up. The Catrice BB creme has been around since last year, it costs 5 € and is advertised with a 6 in 1 effect: balancing- correcting; protecting- illuminating; covering- moisturizing;

I’ll tell you right away that I don’t find it illuminating or balancing or protecting and correcting and covering is the same to me. So about 2 effects + SPF 30. I got the 010 Light beige of course, as there are only 2 shades, one light and one more on the medium side.

The consistency is a typical foundation fluid, maybe not as runny as others, pretty easy to apply BUT for me a bit hard to find the right dosage because you actually don’t need that much for it to have good coverage.

Blending is pretty easy and it fits my skin color perfectly (for reference I am a MAC NW15). The undertones are pretty neutral to rosy!

Here the ultimate comparison (and first time showing my face without make up, though it’s not that special):

You can see clearly how it improves all imperfections on my skin leaving a very slightglowy finish (it’s still pretty matte though so no reason to call it illuminating). Now the make up is pretty long lasting, it doesn’t just disappear after a couple of hours. It feels a little bit heavier than other Catrice Foundations in my opinion but it’s still a good feeling. This is one of the few foundations that doesn’t look horrible in the evening after long hours of wear! Currently it’s a real tough competition for my Diorskin Nude BB creme, the Catrice BB creme actually has more coverage while the Dior one feels better on my skin and is not as thick…. Last a pic of me wearing the Catrice BB creme and Powder (Clinique almost make up) and full make up:

Miss Dior Cherie

I will never get why Dior always has to re-do the original formula of Miss Dior Cherie, or even rename it to just “Miss Dior”, but I will always love it like I did when I first discovered it. I am still hunting for the 2005 Version (the EDP). But here is the newest EDT and the 2008 EDP one:

Now part of my cute little perfume collection. You could say this is my signature scent! 

Small DM and Douglas Haul

I went shopping yesterday and it ended as I expected…with lots of new stuff! I originally planned to go to Douglas to buy perfume, either the Little Black Dress by Guerlain or Cherry in the air by Escada. But somehow this turned out not to be my perfume day, Guerlain smelled so boring on me (although I tried it out before and it was great) and Escada was way too faint as a smell. Anyways here are my actual buys:

(from left to right)

P2 Color Star Lip Cream in 017 Liz Taylor (how cool is that), was about 2 €, I was intrigued by it not being Lip Gloss but cream, the color is intense, will review later.

P2 Push up your lips Lip Serum, also 2 €, I bought that AFTER I already got the expensive Soap&Glory one…just for comparison.

P2 Prepare your lips Lip Base, again about 2 €, very curious if this works to prolong the wearing time of lipstick. 

P2 24hours perfect eye shadow cream in 010 love me, about 4 €, seen it in a review and wanted a different color although I am usually not into eyeshadow at all (I know, strange).

The Soap&Glory Mother Pucker Extreme Lip Plumping, was 10 €, will definitely review later.

NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in 720 Honey Nectar, it was 5 €, already tried it out and love the color!

This one’s for fun: I Love Vanilla & Ice cream Lip Gloss, was 4 €, just because I couldn’t find the strawberry milkshake one…

This one’s my pride: Dior Diorskin Nude BB creme in the 001 shade, was a whoppin’42 € (you can get it cheaper online), will receive an extensive review!

And last: Soap&Glory Face Soap Clarity, 20 €, I actually wanted a peeling but opted for the daily face soap with peeling included!

So happy with what I got, I have enough perfume coming my way anyways...
