Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet


Usually I don’t crave fresh, floral scents, but for spring I wanted something totally different and step out of my oriental cloud. I desperately needed a break, because I was literally sick of heavy, patchouli based perfumes which were wearing me and not the opposite. Selection of pink, girly juices is huge; I decided to give a chance to Dior for the first time.


Blooming bouquet was first introduced in 2014 and has established itself quite well in the massive perfume scene. It comes as eau de toilette and is delicate and shy. Very pleasant, but not groundbreaking. I strongly think that its name is its savior, otherwise it would be already forgotten. I would describe it as water infused peony with some fruit. Sadly, at some point fruity part turns sour on my skin, but that phase doesn’t last long. I really like that it’s lightly sweet and refreshing. I think this is leaning more towards younger crowd. It is very easy to wear and definitely a safe blind buy.


Be prepared for weakness and poor longevity. For someone who struggles with headaches, this would be perfect. It doesn’t last the whole work day, but it’s great for running errands or quick refreshment. I don’t think it is worth the price. If money is not a problem and you want to treat yourself with some Dior – go for it, but otherwise opt for cheaper versions. Blooming bouquet comes in nicely crafted heavier glass bottle with one mistake - loose cheap plastic cap, which ruins everything and destroys the whole image of luxury. Shame on you Dior, you can do better!

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
