Dior Solar The After- Sun Balm

I’ve been really into body products and body care in general lately. Not entirely sure how this happened, but my vanity is now full of body oils, self-tanners, and scented creams. I just want to try everything at once. So a fancy version of after the sun balm was my next logical step to take, especially because I discovered it around my birthday.

Dior Solar The After-Sun Balm is a part of the skincare and sun protection line from the house of Dior. And if I’m not mistaken it is relaunched and updated every spring. The line currently includes several products for sun protection, self-tanner and already mentioned after-sun balm.

For me, this is summer in a tube. It smells heavenly, very similar to Guerlain’s Terracotta perfume. This scent is a bit more refined and not as sweet, but very close to that one. It is not overpowering and does not last very long.


The balm itself is quite rich and refreshing at the same time. It is light, but still nourishing enough. It absorbs quickly and dries into a velvet finish with a tiny golden shimmer that is only visible from up close. I just wish it had some cooling effect, but otherwise, it is perfect and gives you that highly anticipated luxurious feeling. The packaging is simple and ecstatically very pleasing. 

I love to use it after the workout. Just to treat myself, because I’ve done something good for my body. I am sure I’m going to repurchase this balm and use it year-round.

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...
