Dior Diorshow Mascara

Not worth it.

After hearing so much about the Diorshow mascara, I finally decided to try it out. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. It was not a terrible mascara, but it was not very good either. The wand is very big, and I found it very difficult to coat my lashes without smudging the mascara onto my eyelid. I prefer dramatic lashes, but this did not leave my lashes long or curled for any longer than about an hour. I noticed that it also had an unusual smell to it.

Chanel Base Lumiere Illuminating Makeup Base

CHANEL BASE LUMIERE ILLUMINATING MAKEUP BASE

Love this product! I wear apply a pea sized amount all over my face under the CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua, and my makeup stays budge-free all day. I generally have oily skin, so I was very reluctant to wearing an illuminating base, but this does not make me look oily or shiny at all. My skin is also very sensitive and acne-prone, but I did not suffer any allergic reactions or notice any breakouts. My mother has normal to dry skin, and she absolutely loves this too! It has a light, silky texture and does not feel heavy like other primers I have tried. After applying this, my is not exactly matte, but it has a nice, fresh glow. The product has lasted me about eight months, and I feel that it is totally worth the investment!
