Dior Cosmopolite | Lipsticks

Comopolite-header

Dior cosmopolite lipsticks have launched as of August 1! Here are the three new colours to tickle your fancy. If you missed out on seeing the new nail polishes that have also launched, you can either look at this photo below, or click on this blog post to see them all swatched on my fingers. Dior-Cosmopolite-polishes

Nouvelle-Femme-DiorThese are the Rouge Dior lipstick formula, and they’re highly pigmented and glossy.

I probably don’t have to sell you on that (nor am I trying to), because they’re Dior and they sell themselves because they are beautiful lipsticks. But I still wanted to show you how they swatch, and take many many pretty photos of them. I can’t help myself.

Dior-Cosmopolite-lipsticksLeft to right Unique, Continental, and Nouvelle Femme. Unique is a vampy shade with a bit of a plum-kissed look when applied on the lips. I wore Continental in my Get Ready With Me: Dior Cosmopolite 2 ways (Blonde vs. Brunette) video I did with Megan! Finally, the star of the show, a gorgeous nude with a hint of peach undertones, Nouvelle Femme. My favourite out of the trio.

Cosmopolite-lip-swatchesThe swatches you may have all been waiting for. In the twitter picture I posted a few days ago, you can tell that it has more of a shine to it than in the picture here. You don’t understand how difficult it is to manoeuvre and contort your body in the perfect position to snap some of these pictures and have some of them come out blurry. Would you kill me if I said these photos took two hours to capture and pose just so? Believe me! Though my husband was sitting with me throughout some of it, agreeing that the lighting was too good not to stop, good man.

California Summer: OOTD

ootd-california-summerOn Thursday my buddy Lauren and I met up for coffee at one of my favourite and coolest looking coffee shop I’ve ever found, Blue Bottle at Hana Haus in the city of Palo Alto. I took my buddy Jenna here too when she was visiting back in May. We caught up on one another’s lives since we hadn’t seen each other in over a month. Then we decided to venture out and explore Palo Alto a bit, and while we were at it, scope out some really cool spots for snapping outfit of the days together. Of course I filmed a vlog of our entire day, having expensive lunches, following it up with ice cream sandwiches and shopping at Stanford!

You’ll have to wait until Wednesday to see the YouTube video though. Subscribe so you won’t miss it!

And onto the photos. A California summer OOTD :)

vloggingApparently this is what I look like when I vlog, and get caught on camera. I was laughing here at Lauren snapping photos of me vlogging. It was a bit awkward, I’m still not used to whippin’ out the ol’ vlogging camera in public at any given time.

vlogging-in-publicFake it til you make it, yo.

Hanging-at-HanaHausIsn’t HanaHaus the coolest looking coffee spot? I swear I could easily spend an entire afternoon here just people watching.

Working-on-laptopOh, and fake-working on “my” laptop (Lauren’s chromebook).  Ha!!

overheatedIf you hang out with me in person, you know I’m a little foolish. I didn’t realize Lauren was snapping away as I was getting overheated tryin’ to get some air circulatin’ under the ol’ tee shirt.

After scouting out locations we found this really pretty european-vibe courtyard and snapped some photos there too. While the staff working there gave us smirks while we were posing. It was a little awkward!Palo-Alto-OOTD

Then onto Stanford Shopping Centre. Where I picked up a little splurge item from the Chanel makeup counter. You’ll have to watch my YouTube video on Wednesday to see what I got.

Video: Get Ready With Me – Dior Cosmopolite 2 Ways (Blonde vs. Brunette)

My friend Megan and I did another collaboration together on YouTube. This time we used the same products we both received from teh Dior Cosmopolite (Fall 2015 collection) and created our own makeup looks. Since she has light hair and is lighter skined, and I’m a brunette with darker skin we thought it would be interesting for us to both film how the same products could look on one another.

Here is a sneak peak of the outcome.Dior Cosmopolite makeup

Go ahead and watch! You can see Megan’s video here too.
