Dior Addict Gloss collection review
I can't think of anything better than unexepected nailmail!
I've been very busy lately and I must confess that I had no idea that Dior was releasing a new collection so soon so imagine my surprise when I unpacked these pretties!
Dior Addict Gloss collecion consists of 24 shades and 3 different effects of lip glosses and 4 glass flecked polishes, in their 4 hit shades.
Dior Addict Gloss Lipgloss
in the 4 hit shades
#343 Spring Ball, #433 Délice, #643 Diablotine, #553 Princess
Soft and ultra sparkly, the Dior Addict Gloss lip glosses apply like a dream and leave a nice, comfortable and almost completely non sticky feeling on the lips.
Dior Addict Gloss Le Vernis
in # 433 Délice and #643 Diablotine
Dior Délice is a bright cool toned coral with a shimmer of glass flecked particles in pink, gold and green. It's a very saturated and happy color and I can definitely imagine it on a wide variety of skin tones. Formula was wondeful, a little bit on the thick side but offered great opacity and control. I used two coats plus Gel Coat in these swatches.
Dior Diablotine is a darker and slightly pinker version of Délice : coral on the verge of red. The shimmer was identical as the previous and just as beautiful. I love coral reds, they give a nicer, more edgy look to manicures. Formula was just as easy to work with and you're also looking at 2 coats plus Gel Coat.
As mentioned I used Dior Gel Coat over Délice and Diablotine on all swatches above. It's a thicker topcoat than the regular core Dior and relatevily fast drying but I'm sure you can find cheaper alternatives. One thing I really loved about it though is its "glue" smell. I know I'm weird, I smell my nail polish LOL
There are also 2 lighter shades of polish that I didn't get yet but I'll make sure to post them as soon as they hit the stores.
The Dior Addict Gloss collection is scheduled for release on March 11th in boutiques and beauty corners worldwide and retails for :
Lip gloss $29 / £23 / 30€
Le Vernis $24 / £18 / 23€
Gel Coat $24 / £18 / 23€
Will you be getting any of these?

Dior Chérie Bow Spring 2013 Review
Dior never ceases to amaze me!
I couldn't name one collection in the last few years that hasn't had a flawless design... Of course, that might have something to do with Dior belonging to the highest luxury brands but still, Grand Bal this Holiday and now Chérie Bow are particularly fantastic!
Below is the detailed review of the collection but if you haven't seen it yet, you can check the "picture spam" post I published last week with more photos and close ups ;-)

Chérie Bow Palette
Chérie Bow Palette : eyeshadow trio, eyeliner and lipgloss.
Where to begin? The design of this palette is absolutely breathtaking... I just feel like carrying it in my purse all the time! The shimmery eyeshadows and matte eyeliner offer excellent pigmentation, the non-sticky lipgloss subtle sparkle, high shine and visible plumping : stunning!
5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Chérie Bow
5 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette
4 shimmery nude/pinks and a pure matte black. Very good color payoff even on the lighter shades; depending on your skin tone, the nude might not stand out that much.
3 Couleurs Smoky Eyeshadow
2 mattes: "base" (bottom) + "soft smoky" (top left) and a sparkle : "couture smoky" (top right)
Excellent pigmentation on the base and couture smoky but average payoff on the soft smoky. I'm still looking for the "smoky" in this palette but I'm absolutely loving the extreme sparkle of the third eyeshadow.
Twin Set Eyeshadow
Twin Set Eyeshadow
Excellent pigmentation and perfect on the go. The "pencil" side offers a saturated look with no effort or pressure and the "foam" side a faint sparkle when applied lightly or a more dramatic effect if desired.
Dior Blush Chérie Bow
Dior Blush Chérie Bow
This blush offers excellent coverage and a nice and fresh pink tint on the cheeks. The swatches above are very heavily applied but you will obtain a beautiful hue with a lighter hand.
Dior Addict Lipstick & Lipglow Chérie Bow
Dior Addict Lipstick & Lipglow
The lipstick offers a soft satin texture with a buildable color and a very comfortable feeling. The Lip Glow a high shine and plumping in a non-sticky gloss with a UV reacting affect that adds a very visibly rosy tint to the lips. This might very well become my go-to lipgloss... LOVE!
Dior Le Vernis Chérie Bow
Nail Glow is a slightly pink tinted clear nail polish with a UV reacting formula that enhances both the pink of nailbeds and white of free edge. As it reacts with the UV waves, the effect will only be visible under natural lighting. Unfortunately there hasn't been a single sunny day so I haven't been able to take proper swatches but I will try to as soon as the weather allows. I would definitely recommend it for french manicures or alone on naked nails, I'm just not sure true nail polish addicts would find a use to it.
Tutu is a very soft ballerina pink creme, leaning crelly (creme/jelly hybrid) that looks amazing on the nails. Formula was really nice and easy to work with and I used 2 medium coats in the swatches below. Depending on your nails and application, you will need 2 to 3 coats for complete coverage.
Rosy Bow is a medium pink with a slight coral hue and, again, a creme leaning crelly finish. It was just as easy to apply as Tutu but offered higher pigmentation with a true 2 coats coverage. Gorgeous shade of pink, I love coral pinks!
Gris Trianon is a beautiful light greige creme. I love warm based taupe greys and this one is absolutely stunning! Formula was just as flawless as the other two and offered excellent 2-coats coverage with no effort. You're looking at 2 coats plus topcoat.
The Dior Chérie Bow collection is already available in boutiques and beauty corners worldwide and retails for :
Chérie Bow Palette $80 / £59 / 80€
5 Couleurs Eyeshadow $61 / £41 / 56€
3 Couleurs Smoky Eyeshadow $48 / £34 / 45€
Twin Set Eyeshadow $30 / £23 / 32€
Blush Chérie Bow $43 / £31 / 42€
Addict Lipstick $30 / £24 / 31€
Lipglow $29 / £23 / 30€
Le Vernis $24 / £18 / 23€
Nail Glow $24 / £18 / 23€
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this collection! Do you own any Dior makeup polishes? Which one's your favorite?

Dior Chérie Bow Collection for Spring 2013 Picture SPAM!
When I first saw the new Dior Chérie Bow Spring collection, I couldn't help but think it was one of the best collex theme and packaging ever! That pretty much explains why I might have gotten carried away while snapping and swatching them ^_^
I still have a lot of pictures to go through and edit (it doesn't seem like it but adding the text descriptions in that many pics takes ages!), as well as swatches to color correct and possibly an eye look to create but I SO wanted to share them with you asap...
Chérie Bow Palette
(powder pink/rose poudré)
This palette, inspired by the emblematic House of Dior Fontanges bow, contains a velvety eye shadow trio. A black liner and a fresh gloss complete this ephemeral edition that sets the seasonal tone. Available in two colour harmonies.
Une palette inspirée du nœud de Fontanges, emblématique de la Maison Dior qui dissimule un trio d'ombres à paupières veloutées. Un liner "black" et un gloss frais complètent cette édition éphémère qui donne le ton de la saison. Disponible en deux harmonies.
5 Couleurs Chérie Bow
(charming pink/rose charmeuse)
For the first time ever, The houndstooth check motif cherished by Christian Dior decorates the 5 Couleurs Palette. 2 colour harmonies, one based on a contrast of bright pinks with black, the other based on pale pinks brightened by a shimmering white, explore the interplay and effects of materials and textures. Under the influence of Chérie Bow, the Dior 5 Couleurs Palette imprints the eyes with ultra-couture style.
Pour la première fois, le motif pied-de-poule cher à Christian Dior habille les fards de la palette 5 Couleurs. 2 harmonies, l'une autour des roses vifs contrastant avec le noir, l'autre autour de roses pâles rafraîchis de blanc irisé explorent les jeux de matières et les effets de texture... Sous influence Chérie Bow, le 5 Couleurs de Dior imprime au regard un style couturissime.
3 Couleurs Smoky Chérie Bow
(smoky rose)
For the first time ever, the 3 Couleurs Smoky Palette is sporting the houndstooth check motif for a limited edition that boldly uses ballerina pink on the eyes.
Pour la première fois, le 3 Couleurs Smoky s'habille du motif pied-de-poule dans une édition éphémère qui ose le rose ballerine pour le regard.
Twin Set Chérie Bow
(ballerina pink & grey sigh/rose cache-coeur & gris soupir)
The new eye shadow pen, Twin Set, is an essential for eyes. It is inspired by the secrets of backstage make-up artists who apply a rich shadow then set it with powder for long wear. At one end, a super-soft pencil applies a veil of dense, satin or iridescent eye shadow. At the other end, a foam blender impregnated with shimmering powder makes your colour sparkle.
Le nouveau stylo fard à paupières Twin Set est l’incontournable du regard. Il s'inspire des secrets des maquilleurs « backstage » qui appliquent sur les paupières un fard gras et le fixent avec une poudre pour un résultat longue-tenue. D’un côté, une mine à la texture fondante dépose un voile de fard dense, satiné ou nacré. De l’autre, une estompe-mousse imprégnée de poudre scintillante fait miroiter la couleur.
Dior Blush Chérie Bow
(pink happiness/rose bonheur)
Embossed with the houndstooth check motif, Diorblush is back in its spring dress. Beneath its powder puff lie two new colour harmonies: peach and "happiness" pink. Your cheekbones flush with pink, like a snapshot taken after a walk outdoors.
Embossé du motif pied-de-poule, Diorblush revêt son habit printannier. Sous sa houppette, deux harmonies inédites : un pêche et un rose "bonheur". Le rose monte aux pommettes, instantané de balade au grand air.
Dior Addict Lipstick & Lipglow Chérie Bow
(Bow & Lip Glow)
Vernis Chérie Bow & Nail Glow
(Tutu, Rosy Bow, Gris Trianon and Nail Glow)
For this new edition, Dior has created three new shades, emblematic of Dior colours:
- Tutu: a pale pink imbued with softness
- Rosy Bow: a bright, radiant pink with a hint of coral
- Trianon Grey: a tender and delicate grey
To reveal the natural beauty of your nails, Dior has invented Nail Glow. A treatment nail varnish that makes pink pinker, and brightens nail tips for an instant French manicure look.
Pour cette nouvelle édition, Dior crée trois nouvelles teintes emblématiques des couleurs Dior:
- Tutu: un rose pâle emprunt de douceur
- Rosy Bow: un rose vif, vitaminé d'une pointe de corail
- Gris Trianon: un gris tendre et délicat.
Pour réveiller la beauté naturelle des ongles, Dior invente Nail Glow. Un vernis soin éclat qui rosit le rose et blanchit le bord des ongles pour un résultat french manucure instantané.
Enjoy the rest of the week and come back soon for the "real" review and swatches! xx
