Hoooboy beauty friends. Step back a bit here today, and look at that Christmas delight with that golden hour of sunlight shining down on those beauts. I’ve recently discovered an even better time of day to shoot my beauty photos up on the landing of our staircase. They don’t be callin’ it golden hour for nothin.
Dior’s Holiday 2015 collection is so very appropriately named State of Gold. Put two and two together, and you have yourself a bombshell collection. Does it sound like I’m patting myself on the back? Because I kind of am. I love the way these turned out, so simply and so wintery. That Target $1 aisle sucked me in once again (that’s where the adorable mini old school skii’s are from). #RIPTargetCanada
Let’s get on with it, shall we?
The kiss of velvet. Diorific mat colours from the State of Gold are Dior’s first easy-wearing matte lipsticks. They are meant to apply seamlessly to the lips — not a tugging motion like most matte colours. These four colours are a graceful palette to suit any mood that strikes your fancy, but still keeping that elegance in check. It is Dior afterall.
Diorific Mat 580 Facinate
Diorific Mat 430 Radieuse
‎Diorific Mat 770 Fantastique
Ha! Sometimes it’s so awkward taking photos of yourself with the self-timer on your camera. I mean, is that me smizing and smiling at the same time? Rule breaker!
Diorific Mat 750 Fabuleuse
Pretty sure I’m going to be rocking the Fabeleuse Christmas red colour next weekend at my husband’s work Christmas party. What colour stands out to you the most, and which one would you wear if you owned all four lipsticks? In the bullets the two colours Facinate and Radieuse look different, but on my lips not so much. Side note, isn’t that the fanciest name for a tube of lipstick? I recently found out that they’re called bullets. Huh, I like it. I don’t like guns though, so don’t get that in your head.
How do they feel on the lips? Considering they’re marketed as a mat velvet and promises to deliver a long wearing finish yet comfortable wearing (which I admit, they are). They’re also quite hydrating on the lips. I often can tell right off the bat if a lip product will keep me from wearing it out in public. Drying lips aren’t cool. I mean why make a drying lip product in 2015 now anyways, am I right? Dior always gets it right.
Now I know you might not have the patience to keep scrolling up and comparing the colours, so I’ve swatched them on my hand for your ease. Aren’t I nice! Ignore the hives popping up though please ‘n thanks!
L-R: Facinate,Radieuse, Fantastique, Fabuleuse
Could you tell I got a little carried away taking tons of photos of Dior’s beautiful Holiday collection? I think I’m a gold-fan at heart. The packaging is enchanting, and the colours are timeless yet festive and perfect for the Holidays.
Diorific Mat lipsticks are now available in stores + online for $38USD. Snatch’em up fast, because I bet they’ll be gone really soon!

The gold packaging is GORGEOUS – perfect stocking stuffer. My favorite shade is Radieuse for me, but you carry those bold colors beautifully!

These Dior bullets are so beautiful! They all look good on you, pretty lady.
I am such a reserved person and don’t really feel comfortable drawing attention to myself (you probably think “Whaaaaa?! But you are a blogger, no?”) so I think Facinate and Radieuse will fit my personality very well. So subtle yet still very beautiful. On a second thought, maybe I should *accidentally* forward this post to my husband as a hint. ;-)

@Anita Utami: HAHAHA! What a great idea! I should have more random blog posts forwarded to my husband. He would actually probably appreciate it, as it would never even dream of trying to pick out lipstick colors himself!

How cute are they… love the colours. I like Diorific Mat 750 Fabuleuse!! And like that you’ve pictured wearing each colour… great idea!
Oh em gee I want and need this collection. I’d wear every single shade although I’m sure I wouldn’t look nearly as pretty in them as you do.
I love this. Those are so pretty, I love all the shades!
I especially like the subtle color of the first two shades. I’d wear those myself. All four look wonderful on YOU though!

What a smart and witty way to package a lipstick. It looks great on you. I’m thinking to buy some of these for my friends. :)
I love the cases of the lipsticks, the gold really does pop out! I love to see when companies come out with new shades and varieties of lipsticks to go with the holidays. The Fabuleuse would be my favorite one as well.

I’m a lipstick addict so I’m in love with these! The packaging is great. I love how Fantastique looks on you as well. All of the shades complement you very well.

Those mini skis are so adorable! Not something I would think you’d find at Target. I think the Radieuse lipstick is my favourite, it’s such a pretty pink. They all look gorgeous on you though pal!
These shades are all so rich and they all look beautiful on you! The last shade is the one I’d be most likely to buy!
These colors are sooo gorgeous! I love Dior!!! Wow I love these so much, definitely going on my Christmas list!
Adriana recently posted..Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, what an interesting tube! And that Radieuse is goooorgeous on you!

I love Dior. That gold tube with the bombs on both end used to be their standard tube. I was really happy when the Addicts came along because they fit in lipstick holders and in a purse or pocket better. But I love you, Dior, no matter what!
