Phoenix Rising

Here I'm wearing one of my favorite foundations, Koh Gen Do Aqua, with a Dior Diorific lipstick from the new holiday collection.  It's called Diorling.

My eyes turned out to be a bit of a mess, but actually a good one, I do suppose!  I was in a hurry and was trying for something quick but glamorous.  I always love wearing golds, bronzes, and coppers.

The Dior lipstick is pretty great.  It did start to feel significantly dry on my lips after a few hours on, but it wore nicely (no lipstick on my teeth), faded evenly (still looked pretty good after about four hours with tons of talking throughout), and maintained a very crisp and perfect outer line.  Also, it felt extremely lightweight on the lips.  I liked it enough to buy the other LE shades as well!

I think that the Fiberwig mascara may have caused me some eye distress the day I wore this look.  It sure felt like a fiber was stuck in my right eye most of the day.  No good.  I've worn it before without trouble - I suppose the lesson is to be very, very careful?  At this point, I have no desire to try it again in the very near future!

Thanks for stopping by!
