Dior Beauty has my heart these days and the summer collection literally took my breath away. It seems that most of the pieces are limited-edition and by now the daisy compacts have sold out many places (I recommend checking your local counters or boutiques if you’re still searching for them).

Here are the details on everything I hauled with hits and misses.

Forever Nude Bronze Glow

The Forever Nude Bronze Glow Bronzing Powders ($60 each, Dior, Sephora and Selfridges) come in the most beautiful compact I think I have ever seen. The detailing on these is well worth the splurge in my opinion.

Both shades this season are very similar and also appear to be repeats with the names (and numbers). I don’t have Coral Bronze from previous seasons but I do have Pink Bronze and it looks identical on my skin.

Coral Bronze is just the slightest bit warmer on my skin while Pink Bronze is more neutral. Both have a luminous finish on me. There is an overspray on the surface but underneath is still a little bit glowy. I swatched them next to some existing Dior Forever Nude Bronze shades (review here).

I really love these and have no regrets with the splurge, but if you already own Dior bronzers from past seasons I think you can skip if you want to avoid duplicates/dupes.

Forever Glow Luminizer + Glow Maximizers

There are two highlighters in this launch. The Forever Glow Luminizer in Sun-Kissed is a luminescent champagne gold with micro sparkles ($60, Dior and Sephora). I think it’s beautiful even if I find the color and finish similar to other Dior highlighters.

Sun-Kissed pulls less sharp in the frost compared to Nude Halo (champagne) and also because Sun-Kissed is more peachy/golden it’s softer on my tan skin tone.

The Forever Glow Maximizer in Sunburst ($47, Dior, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s) is another stunning champagne gold. This one pulls sheerer in the frost/shimmer compared to others in this formula. I pulled the neutrals to swatch side by side. Sunburst is warmer and the sheererst. It has tiny glittery specks on the skin but it’s subtle.

Eyeshadow Palettes

There are two eyeshadow palettes in this collection. I picked up the neutral one 670 Sunset Bronze ($75, Dior, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s)and it is absolute perfection. You can see swatches of the blue one in my highlights here. 670 Sunset Bronze has all shimmers. They’re smooth in the finish, easy to blend and and the colors truly look like a sunset.

Diorshow Flash Stick

The product you have all been the most curious about is the new Diorshow Flash Eyeshadow Stick ($42 each, Dior, Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Ulta Beauty). I have mixed feelings but I want to say first that I have very high standards for eyeshadow sticks and how they compare to Laura Mercier or Bobbi Brown, especially shimmers.

For some reason a lot of the cream shadows from other brands simply do not show up well on my lids. Once I blend, they almost always seem to disappear. This is the case with these new Dior Shadow Sticks for my eyes. They swatch SO beautifully on the hands but once on my eyes, they sheer out. They do show up on my eyes, they just don’t have the same impact once blended out.

I do really love the Beige Tulle which is a shimmery champagne (very sparkly). I prefer more impact or color. I do think these are worth checking out though, just because they didn’t wow me doesn’t mean they’re bad. I just usually can’t wear a lot of cream shadow sticks.

Addict Lip Maximizer

There are five new Addict Lip Maximizers ($42 each, Dior). Some of the shades appear to be exclusive to Dior.com but you can find some colors at other retailers like Nordstrom and Macy’s.

I think they’re all beautiful but I would say 053 Golden Hour and 072 Cerulean are a pass for me. Golden Hour is incredibly frosty and pale in an unflattering way and Cerulean is fun and trendy but also not the best look for my lips.

Nail Polish

Last we have a look at two new Dior Vernis Nail Colors ($34 each, Dior, Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom) for summer.

Sunset is a shimmery champagne gold. It pulls more gold than champagne and matches my skin tone closely. I think it’s a pretty shade!

Azur is a fun pool blue with a tiny bit of shimmer in the bottle, but it applies more like a cream.

Overall a beautiful collection. I really love that after all these years Dior still continues to launch full seasonal beauty collections along with their mini launches.
