My latest beauty haul from Dior! My first, actually. I’ve always wanted to get a tube of Dior Addict lipstick but I wasn’t crazy about the price. I’ve bought 4 items and only spent $60! AMAZING Y/Y? How on earth did I manage to spend so little on 4 items which would have easily cost me over $200++? Well girlfriends, GUESS WHO GOT PROMOTED TO BEING THE REGIONAL DIOR COSMETICS ASSISTANT CONSULTANT?!!!!!!
Not me. It would be nice though, sigh. The truth is a lot less glamorous; my aunt has access to excess Dior stocks so she sells them off…kinda like a desperate housewives sideline business aaaanddd since I’m her favourite niece - I get first dibs on the merchandise! Totally werkin’ the family connections tharrr people!
Let’s officially start this haul entry with a kick ass photo of my DIORSNOW spf 35 sunscreen/make-up primer. It smells heavenly and you only need 3 drops of product each time you use it, quite economical (I wouldn’t say the same for the original price though lol)
Massage Mask from Dior Prestige.
I had no idea what this was for since everything on the packaging was in French (”I can’t speak french so I’d let the funky music do the talking, talking now~” Can’t Speak French by Girls Aloud, if you’ve not heard the song, you don’t know what you’re missing - DOWNLOAD. IT. NOW.)
I snapped it up anyway because 1) look at that luxurious packaging 2) It’s Dior, hellooo?
Stolen from Dior.com:
Dior Prestige Skincare is a new regime that is what’s considered to be “liquid gold” treatment enriched with rare botanicals. Dior Prestige skincare includes the exclusive ingredient of Kniphofia Flower nectar that is harvested by hand at dawn before the bees awaken.
I have no idea what a Knipikapikaomgwhut flower is/looks like but heck it sounds pretty darn good to me.
LIPSTICK PORN.
MORE LIPSTICK PORN.
Dior Addict High Color in Charmed Pink. The color may look very bright in the tube but on the lips, it’s a subdued petal rose with a slightly glossy finish. This was the only tube my aunt had and I AM SOOO GLAD I SNAPPED IT UP.
Dior Addict High Shine in Beige-a-porter is no disappointment either. It’s less pigmented than it’s High Color sister but its super shiny gloss-like finish totally makes up for its lack of color pay-off. Both lipsticks are very moisturising and are probably worth every last cent of their original USD$26 price tag.
Well that’s all I’ve got for this haul entry and hopefully you aren’t too jealous over this epic beauty bargain I managed to score ;D Til next time ♥
