This was a recent naughty purchase that I decided to reward myself after losing a stone (woohoo!) since I've decided it's a great motivator to purchase something from my wishlist everytime I lose a substantial amount. It's been on my wishlist for ages ever since I saw Tanya Burr use it in some of her videos and fell in love with the way it looked when the light hit! It's my first Dior product and I have to say, I'm extremely impressed.
The powder itself is so finely milled and buttery soft. As you can see from swatches below, it's a lovely light golden shade that blends effortlessly to give an amazing glow. It isn't too glittery, it's more of a sheen across your cheeks and doesn't make me look oily at all, just really lovely and healthy! As always with Dior, the packaging is beautiful and sleek, with a handy decent sized mirror inside for topping up any makeup. The spongey applicator is actually pretty good as far as in-product tools come and works well to dab the product onto your cheekbones without overdoing it.
It's usually about £32, but I purchased mine here from Escentual.com for just under £5 cheaper which I don't think is too bad for 10g of high end product!
Have you tried this? What's your favourite highlighter? :)

DeleteI am dying over everything about this! I am SUCH a sucker for Dior. My favorite highlighter though is definitely theBalm's Mary Lou Manizer. It is amazing and works on every skin tone - from my pale self to my roommate's greek skin.

DeleteOoo this is such a subtle highlighter - I much prefer ones like these to the ones that are super glittery/white. I love Dior too, their packaging is always so appealing and I think they justify the price tag quite well too :) x
ReplyDeleteI think it shows up more subtle in the pic than it is in real life but it is the perfect amount of highlight for me! :) x
DeleteThis looks super lovely on your skin.. and snap on the bedsheets! x
