Dior Diorskin Nude Air Luminzer 001

A part of the Dior Skyline Fall 2016 Makeup Collection, the Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer is a universal illuminator for all skin tones. Retails for $77 CAD at Nordstrom. See it in action in my video review.

Dior Fall 2016 Nude Air Luminzer

It is recommended to use a small amount for an overall luminous look or more concentrated to highlight/strobe. As an oily skinned girl I cannot imagine putting this all over my face but I love it as a highlight. It is super densely packed, so I like to use a more dense brush with it. It has a very smooth texture, no glitter just glow! I think for that most skintones could use this, it is neither warm nor cool toned - pretty universal in my book!

I love this highlighter! I generally go for something more golden and warm but I love the glow this gives. It doesn't look too unnatural, you can wear it lightly or build it up for some serious glow. I am wearing it above with the Dior Contour Stick which I reviewed last week.

Dior Fix It Colour 2 in 1 Prime and Colour Correct Swatches + Review

Dior Colour Correcting Sticks

The Dior Fix It Colour 2 in 1 Prime and Colour Correct are meant to help eliminate skin texture and unwanted discolouring in one swipe. They retail for $45 CAD at Sephora. The inner core which will blur imperfections is surrounded by the colour correcting cream.  There are four shades available, I am missing the blue. See these correctors in action in my video review.

Dior Fix It Colour Correctors for Face Eyes and Lips 

The packaging on these correctors is ADORABLE. Classic Dior tube but with a colourful twist. This is especially appreciated if you have a larger collection, it makes them super easy to grab for! When colour correcting you are generally looking to target a small area so the stick format makes them super easy to use. They have just enough pigment to colour correct, without having to cake on lots of foundation to cover up your correcting. They blend very easily and don't lost their pigment and blend away. 

These are recommended for face, eyes and lips which I think is interesting! If you have any discolourations on the sensitive skin of your eyelids, these would make a great base to ensure your eyeshadow shows true to colour. 

Dior Colour Correctors in Green, Apricot and Yellow.

Dior Colour Corrector Green: Covers any redness in the skin, blemishes, rosacea etc. 

Dior Colour Corrector Apricot: Brings warmth to dull areas such as hyper-pigmentation, dark circles, or dark spots. Recommended for deeper skin. 

Dior Colour Corrector Yellow: Erases plum tinged discolorations from dark circles, blood vessels. 

Dior Colour Corrector Blue: Evens out and invigorates tired and sallow skin.

Dior Colour Corrector Before and After

Overall, I really like these! Colour Correcting isn't for everyone, and it may not be something you do everyday but I love having these on hand for the days my skin just isn't agreeing. They are lightweight, blendable and get the job done!

Quo Back To School Limited Edition Collection

Quo Back To School 2016 Limited Edition Collection

Quo's adorable Back to School Limited Edition Collection launches August 2016. It will be available at Shopper's Drug Mart. The bright coral-pink packaging will be hard to miss, I love it!

Quo Daily Beauty Palette $42.00

The Quo Daily Beauty Palette has 28 eyeshadows, 7 eyeliners and 3 blush shades. A new look for every day of the week! I love the super slim packaging, great for storage.

As you can see in the swatches above there is a huge array of shadows. Overall, decent pigmentation, smooth formula and not patchy. The palette however is missing some mid-tone matte browns for crease and transition and they are quite powdery. When worn with a primer they last all day on my oily eyelids. The eyeliners are swatched along the bottom, they have more of a gel texture than a traditional gel liner. They lack a little pigmentation because of the texture, however this makes them a good candidate for a shadow base! I paired the eyeliner with my regular primer and it really helped the shadows pop.

Quo Daily Beauty Palette Blush Swatches

The middle blush totally surprised me, it has great pigmentation, gives a rosey flush and lasted all day on my skin! The texture was smooth and not patchy. The other two blushes definitely seem more like a highlights but on my skin they didn't do a lot. Perhaps they are better suited for a lighter skintone but it was a missed opportunity to include another toned blush.

Quo Taking Notes Beauty Palette $32.00

This comes in a black zip case, you could totally sneak this into class and disguise it as a notebook! It contains 12 eyeshadows, 2 eyeliners, 4 blush/bronzers and 4 lip colors. It also has room for any cards and your cell phone!

I love the range of shades in the first page of the Taking Notes Palette, great mid tone shades for adding definition and depth. That being said the pigmentation is lacking, they definitely act better with a primer. The blushes are better quality for sure, similar to the Daily Palette. Eyeliners again act better as bases. I find the highlights to be more of a brow bone or inner corner highlight for the eyes as opposed to something I'd put on my cheeks. As for the lippies in this palette they are moisturizing and add a sheer wash of color!

Diorblush Light and Contour Sculpting Stick Duo Shadow and Light

Dior Fall 2016 Makeup - Dior Sculpting Stick Duo

Dior Fall 2016 Makeup Collection "Skyline" will launch soon and be available wherever Dior is sold. Designed by Peter Philips the Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup "explores the vast possibilities of using shade and light to sculpt the face".

Being that this collection is focused around the possibilities of using shade and light to sculpt the face, it only makes sense there's some sculpting products in the line! The Diorblush Light and Contour Sculpting Stick Duo retail for $60 CAD at Nordstrom. As an oily skinned girl, I wondered if these would work for me, I generally lean towards powder contour products. These are the Diorblush Light and Contour Duo Sculpting Sticks, they are also limited edition which is upsetting because I love them! If you'd like to see it in action I demo it in this video.

As mentioned, I am so impressed with this product! They blend out very easily to a natural finish, or can be built up for a more intensely sculpted look. The glow is quite natural, with no glitter, I like to set it with a powder highlight to bump it up. I think this can work for both dry and oily skin, oily skin girls just set it with a powder.
