Dior Cherie Bow spring 2013

I initially disregarded the very pink toned spring Cherie Bow collection from Dior. I of course made the mistake of swatching the collection thus making me decide that I did in fact need some of this sheer pink prettiness in my life.....


I picked up the lighter toned eye palette, Rose Ballerine (£41). It contains a shimmery candy pink, frosty pale pink, frosty/iridescent peachy pink, metallic/frost white, and a shimmery grey/taupe.

 
The colours go on very sheer and although they have the smooth, creamy feel I would expect from Dior, I think these have gone a step too far with the softness (apart from the grey), so much in fact that any type of blending seems to obliterate the pigment and they need to be patted on. Furthermore, even with an eye base I find by mid day I have significant fading.

In terms of the overall look, whilst this is prone to looking too frosty it does give a brightening very feminine look which I can't deny is quite pretty.
Ingredients:

I selected one lipstick from the Cherie Bow display what I though was the pink lipstick from the collection, unfortunately I later found out that the counter only had Espiegle and had substituted Candide and Charmante with shades from the regular line and had a fourth shade which I had unwittingly picked up.

I think this is misleading and I will have to check names of seasonal releases beforehand if I go to this counter as I can't trust that they will actually display the correct products. So the colour I have is called Bow (£21). Its a cool very sheer baby pink,with a glowy/gloss finish.

The colour gives me that overly cool milky frostbitten look, its unflattering on me. It feels comfortable on and quite light weight but the colour does not have any longevity.

Ingredients:

There were a few other items I wanted from the spring collection but I just feel a bit sour grapes about it now so don't think I'll bother ...flounces off...

I bought these from Boots
