Dior Rouge Lipstick # 956 Unique Review & Swatches

This Dior beauty almost didn’t make it in my hands, but I managed to find it and fall in love with it, so here’s my review!

Color: chocolate-plum red. Really unique!

Fragrance: standard for the brand, pleasant, unobtrusive.

Application: slippery (in a good way!), uniform coverage, but hard to get the contour of the lips exact, because of the bright color. I recommend using it with a lip pencil for a more precise application.

Thoughts: Lips feel comfortable, but it does leave a bit of the line inside the lips after wear. If you aren’t snacking or having your Starbucks, it’ll last for 2-3 hours no problem. It does leave marks, but any lipstick would, unless it’s a stain or a special long-lasting formula. Overall, I love the way it looks and feels on my lips!

Clinique Three Little Soaps – Mild Dry Combination

This is a review of one of my favorite and long-standing skincare essentials! I hope you’ll like it too.

Clinique Three Little Soaps

About me:

I have combination skin, prone to oiliness in the T-zone, with redness, occasional pimples and blackheads on cheeks and chin. :/

I first bought this soap set a few years ago when I was studying abroad, and the fact that it was so small and compact was what drew me to it in the first place and since that day, I use it religiously.

Clinique Three Little Soaps

Packaging:

The soap is packaged in a sturdy cardboard box in the light green Clinique color and weighs 5.2oz/150g.

Clinique Three Little Soaps

It’s the first step in the 3-step skincare and the box also mentions that it is meant for the #2 skin type, which is the dry/combination skin.

Ingredients:

Clinique Three Little Soaps

The three soaps are packaged in a really compact way, next to each other, and there is also the very handy soap dish that comes with it.

Clinique Three Little Soaps

I really like this soap dish, it’s great quality and has a cover that prevents the soap from going soggy from humidity. It’s just the perfect size too.

Clinique Three Little Soaps

This little soap can last you a very long time. I can use all three soaps for almost a whole year! Now, that’s good bang for your buck! 🙂

Scent:

Like all of Clinique products, it’s fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, so there is no obvious scent, which is great news for anyone who is sensitive to artificial colours and fragrances.

Usage:

I use this soap about 2-3 times a week when I wear makeup, since otherwise I rinse my face with just water. It doesn’t get very soapy, but does the job well and takes off all the makeup cleanly.

Clinique Three Little Soaps

Results:

It cleanses my face and neck very well and removes ALL makeup without the need to use any special makeup removers. The skin feels soft and supple, but I think with daily use it may be a bit drying – for me anyway! However, if you have any acne, it will do a good job drying it up and also minimizing pores. I’m a fan.

Overall, I’ve been using this soap for years and recommend anyone to try it out, if you’re looking for something simple and natural for your skin.

Dior Nail Glow Instant French Manicure Effect Whitening Nail Care

Dior Nail Glow Instant French Manicure Effect Whitening Nail Care review
 
I like doing my own manicure at home, but just like any nail polish addict, along with all sorts of fun, crazy colors, I have lots of treatments, top coats, and masks for my beautiful nails! I came upon this pretty little pink bottle of the Dior Nail Glow Instant French Manicure Effect Whitening Nail Care and I had to try it out.

I did know what the product entailed, since there are dozens of these treatments on the market and I’ve tried a few myself in the past. All of them are said to visually whiten the half-moon of the nail and give it a healthy glow. Ideally, it should make your nails like you’ve had a french manicure. You get beautifully groomed nails and a naked look.
 
I’ve been painting my nails for as long as I remember and unfortunately they have yellowed, even though I always put on a base coat, but it’s still no help. So, anything that claims to whiten the nails is pretty important to me!

The consistency of Dior Nail Glow feels like a gel, it’s pink in color, applies effortlessly, distributes evenly, doesn’t leak and the excellent brush covers the whole nail in one go. It dries quickly, which is nice, since you can do a 2 min manicure. It lasts for 2-3 days, I’d say.
 
As you can tell from the pics, I’m sad to say that Dior Nail Glow does not fix my yellow nails problem. 🙁 It looks good overall, nice shine and subtle color, but half of the nail still looks yellow. So the “nail glow” part does work, but now the “whitening” part! However, I’ll still use it, because I do love the result, and it also nicely freshens up my colored nails when I use it as a top coat.
