Review: Diorskin Nude foundation

Product name: DIORSKIN NUDE (foundation)

Price: € 38,00

Description: Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup

The claims (as stated on the leaflet): "Containing nearly 40% water, this fluid foundation offers an instant sensation of well-being. Skin appears fresher, silky and feels more comfortable.
Thanks to micro-droplets of water, this foundation’s coverage is lighter than a “classic” fluid formula, and it evens out the complexion and makes it appear more radiant and transparent.
With daily use, the skin becomes more beautiful for an ever more natural and radiant result day after day."

My opinion: It is on the pricey side, true, but this foundation is amazing!
It is one of those second skin foundations (the latest trend after last year's minerals) which sets on your face without making you look cakey. It really does its job: I've never looked overly made-up, nor I have ever felt it was heavy on my skin.
It just evens out any discoloration and covers imperfections, leaving your skin to look really radiant. You look at yourself in the mirror and think: "oh, now I have a perfect skin!".
About the coverage: if this is light to them, I don't want to try the heavy one. It is absolutely perfect: I apply one very small dot on my forhead, cheeks, nose and chin and blend it in with my Sigma SS187 duo-fiber brush. The first layer is to even out my skin, then I build the coverage with a second layer, using the same amount of product. My skin looks flawless...it even hides my detested pores!!!
You really don't need much to make your face look amazing, so it will last for ages.
As for the skin improvement claim...I don't know if it is the foundation or the Normaderm treatment, to be honest, so I will not comment on that for now.

So overall, if you have some extra money, I can definitely recommend this foundation! It is fantastic. Packaging is very very nice, but also very heavy and dodgy (I pray I won't ever let it slip off of my hands because it is made of glass)...if you can call it a downside...

So...

vote: 10+/10

would I repurchase?: if I have the money to....hell yeah!!! ;)

I've spent the evening listening to music with my boyfriend, Fabrizio De Andrè has brought us otherworldly. All of the songs were pretty sad, so we either sang along or listened carefully in quiet. With that kind of mood, while he was taking me home, I observed the streets of the town.

Some were empty, with very few lights, and no festive aura whatsoever. Nevertheless, you can sense that the people who live there are gathered up, swapping the funniest anectodes of the year, or even some from the very past. They may have given each other very small gifts, but they're much appreciated, because of the thought that despite the credit crunch, your beloved ones wanted to save a little to display their affection.

Some others (streets) had houses decorated with all sorts of Christmas lights around them. You can picture the people who live there, having prosperous dinners, swapping the latest gossip regarding mutual acquaintances, exchanging the most expensive gifts under a rich, cheerful and colorful Christmas tree. I can't really decide which of these two is the most happy scene.

Some other streets, on the other hand, had no lights, and no houses either. They had prostitutes, waiting for a kerb-crawler to pick them up. They had people with no cause, walking in the icing blowing mistral wind. For all of these lonely people, today was a day like any other.
For all of these lonely people, I wish life can turn a little bit better, so that next year they will have their Christmas too.

What did you get for Christmas?

What I got:

- a bottle of my favorite perfume: Breil Milano Fragrance for Woman...it's fresh, yet sweet and classy...Love it!
- Gabriel Garcìa Màrquez's Love at the Time of Cholera
- a pair of silver earrings that are much, much prettier than in the picture, and which I am really loving and wearing right now
- a lovely Nomination ring...it has a pretty white and pink flower! Lovely, my kind of thing.

That's it, very few gifts this year, but very good ones! I really love everything!

So what did you get? I'm always so curious :D

I'll post pictures from yesterday's dinner at my grandparents' as soon as my cousins will send theirs along :)

OK girlies, I'm off to see my bf now

Later

Merry Christmas!

Hello lovelies,
since I'm going to have dinner with my family at my grandparents' house, I won't have access to the net to tell you girls later, but I wanted to say:

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

May you have prosperity, peace and happiness today. And of course, some gifts.

I foolishly burnt the bottom of my quiches (as usual when I cook for somebody else on a special occasion, I am the most unlucky person in the world), and now I'm mad, because they taste great but look horrible. I had to cut them into little squares to scratch the burnt part away.
They have become appetizers now. As usual, no one helped me cooking and this is why it ended up this way. I hope my family won't judge the books by their covers.
But I am seriously irritated because I always look dumb on that. My cousin prepares the most wonderful sweets and cakes, my aunties the most beautiful dishes....and mine always look crappy.

Well anyway enough rambling.

Happy Christmas my darlings!

All I want for Christmas is you

Thanks for making these, the best seven months of my life,
nevertheless the downs that may have happened.

I love you.

ooh yes, I made it!

I have finally managed to put on false lashes! I cut them into halves, to be honest. I needed to start somewhere with my practice, didn't I?

I also perfectioned the green and brown smokey eye inspired by the Urban Decay look-book on my BOS vol II palette. And with proper lighting and camera, it does look a lot better.


these lashes are from e.l.f. (www.eyeslipsface.co.uk) and only cost me £ 1,50.
Sounds barganeous, especially if you're a beginner with false lashes. Last year I spent € 7 on some Ardel falsies, couldn't get the hang of them, and ended up wasting them.

The only downside is that the little glue in the package does not even open, so you'll have to have your own glue.


Products used:
UDPP
UD Misdemeanor e/s all over the lid and on the lower lashline
UD Homegrown e/s on the inner corner, and blended onto Misdemeanor on the upperlashline and outer corner
UD Twice Baked e/s on the crease
UD 24/7 glide-on pencil in zero on the upper and lower waterlines, and then smudged into Misdemeanor on the lower lashline
e.l.f. dramatic false lashes (outer half of the eye)
two coats of Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara in Intense Black
e.l.f. brow kit to fill in my eyebrows.




DISCLAIMER: all of the afore-mentioned products were paid for. I do not represent or work for any of the company named in the post.
