Dior Forever Glow Star Filter - shade no. 2

A few months ago, I was on a hunt for a nude highlighter. I wanted something subtle, work-appropriate, just something easy for everyday use. I am usually more into powder highlighters, but I guess I wanted to try something different, so I decided to get Forever Glow Star Filter from Dior in the shade no 2. Let’s just say here – Instagram made me buy it.
This shade is not an ideal highlighter for me, because it is very close to my skin tone, but with golden sheen added. I wanted it to be like this, so it looks even more natural. 




I always use it alone, on my cheekbones, eyelids, or in a thin layer over my concealer to brighten up my under-eye area. It is easy to blend and also you can build up the intensity, mostly of that pearly sheen. It never looks crazy, always just elegant and subtle. I think on me it looks especially nice paired with a mat bronzer.

Cons:

-          I would prefer a dove foot applicator because one pump on the product can often be too much unless you want to mix it with a foundation;

-          Sometimes I can feel it on my cheeks, it can be a little sticky;

-          The price is up there, but we’re talking about Dior

Pros:

-          Versatile use;

-          A lot of shades;

-          Nice packaging;

-          Natural looking finish;

-          Hydrating enough to be used on the under-eye area

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...
