Dior Rising Star (09) DiorSkin Nude Luminizer Review & Swatches

Rising Star (09) Dior Rising Star (09) DiorSkin Nude Luminizer ($48.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a soft, peachy-pink with warm undertones and a lightly sparkly, luminous sheen. It had a soft, smooth consistency that was dense without being dry or too firmly pressed in the pan, so the powder picked up well with a brush, spread and blended out nicely but did not have excess product that kicked up in the pan. It had nearly opaque pigmentation, though it could easily be applied with a lighter hand if preferred. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. I’ve been waiting for this to launch in the US, and it might have for all my Dior-stalking has done for me, but I haven’t personally seen it in stock.

Pink Sands Tarte Pink Sands H20 Lip Gloss ($19.00 for 0.135 oz.) is a medium-dark, pink-tinted base with lots of bright, gold shimmer. It had medium coverage that applied evenly, though it sank into my deeper lip lines slightly–not enough that it was noticeable from a normal viewing distance. Based on the description of it being a lovechild between “your favorite lipgloss and lip balm,” it suggests it was intended to be sheerer. It did have the “intense, ultra-lacquered shine” as promised. The texture was smooth, plush, and lightly tacky; it felt thicker but not actually heavy on my lips. It wore well for four hours and was hydrating while worn. There was a slight vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
