center stage: the Dior 5 Couleurs specify of Gold Eyeshadow combination in Blazing Gold #866 ($63, offered now at dior.com as well as pertaining to Dior stores as well as counters this November)
Despite its official moniker, “State of Gold,” Dior’s holiday 2015 collection might have been called “State of Gold as well as Gray,” since gray makes a unforgettable appearance. Dior played with the idea of mixed metals in this release, as well as even though gray is not a color that normally pops into my head when I think, “Yay! holiday collections!” I believe it truly works here.
I’ve been using five of the 13 pieces in the release, which is offered now at dior.com as well as pertaining to Dior stores as well as counters this November, as well as I’m pleased by the method Dior handles these mixed metals.

But first! — why gray as well as gold? Well, both are iconic, signature colors at the home of Dior, much like beige as well as black are over at Chanel.

But with this collection, Dior handles the two colors in what I believe are unconventional ways, like what they’ve done right here with the eyeshadow combination I’ve been wearing, Blazing Gold. There’s a great gold in the center next to a gray shade, however the gray isn’t just one of those blasé run-of-the-mill grays. No, it’s a breathtaking shimmery taupe-ish gray with flecks of great golden micro glitter.
Seriously, it’s so lovely that I nearly can’t take it! — as well as when you wet it as well as wear it as an eye liner? excellent Caesar’s ghost, it shines like 100 Leonid meteor showers. Gimme dat sparkly gold as well as gray!

The Diorific Vernis in Gris-Or #227 as well as enthusiasm #951 nail Lacquers ($28 each)
I like cool combos as well as fascinating concepts like that, as well as Dior does it once again with the Gris-Or nail Lacquer, where they integrated gold as well as gray in the nail polish. I never would have expected it to work — a mix of metallic gold as well as metallic platinum? — however I believe it absolutely does.
I’ve used two of the four lacquers in the collection — gold as well as platinum Gris-Or as well as creamy, traditional red enthusiasm — as well as I like them both.
And can we just talk about Dior’s nail polish clean for a second? Isn’t it the very best thing ever?! flat as well as wide, it covers my entire nail from base to idea in a single swipe, as well as that clean idea is a beast. I like the crescent moon shape; it completely fits along the base of my nails, producing crisp, clean lines every time. It never leaves a mess, either, by getting polish on my cuticles.

I likewise gotta provide a huge shout-out to the lipsticks in this release. Dior tried something new as well as different by providing their creamy Diorific lipsticks a velvety matte finish, as well as it that makes them look a great deal like Chanel Rouge appeal velvets (my faves), so you get a healthy dose of matte, however you can still see them reflecting a bit light back at’cha (not as well much, though).
I’m truly loving the creamy formula ideal now since my lips have been a freakin’ mess. since of this chilly I’m fighting, they’ve been extremely dry as well as flaky. In the video at the top, I’m using the rosy pink shade, Fascinate, as well as gasp! — my lips really look like those of a typical girl! You can’t truly see the flakes at all, which is grrrreat!
As long as you’re just sipping a La Croix water, or something like that, these must last about three or four hours on your lips, as well as they have Dior’s traditional rosy lipstick scent.

Take house message: the pairing of gold as well as gray is something I don’t see commonly (ever?) in a holiday collection, as well as it makes this stand out. Yeah, the collection likewise has some a lot more normal holiday pieces in golds as well as reds, however the gray adds something fresh.
The collection will be pertaining to Dior counters as well as stores in November, however if you can’t wait (Christmas in September!), you can discover it now at dior.com.

P.S. interesting news about infant Girl! Last night while I was reading to her in bed (which is something I try to do every night, so she can hear my voice before I go to sleep), she started kicking. ?
I had El Hub location his hand on my tummy, as well as the look on his face… I desire I’d had my great cam withinreach since it was the exact same look El Hub provided me when we stated our wedding event vows…

Aww, so cheesy!
When he felt the kick he said, “Well, now we understand she’s gonna be a soccer star! just wait, we’ll enjoy her play in the Olympics someday.”
Hey, I’d have no issue with that, just as long as she lets me paint her nails with bit soccer spheres before her games.
