MAKEUP | Dior Cool Wave Summer 2018 Collection

I haven't been doing a lot of makeup looks this year mainly due to time, but it's funny how once you get started you just get in the zone and go. It's how I am with my nail art too because you guys should hear the dialogue that goes on in my brain when I have to take off my current nail art and start something new "Whyyyyyy?!" Then I start painting and 3 hours goes by in a heartbeat! I have a soft spot for blue eyeshadow so when I saw that the Dior Cool Wave Summer Collection had a gorgeous limited edition blue 5 Couleurs Eyehadow Palette the 80s child me was instantly interested!

The Dior Cool Wave collection marries the heat of the sun and a cool indigo pool with the collection showcasing cool pops of colour with sunkissed skin which I love because you still have your traditional bronzed goddess summer look, but then you can spice it up if you would like.

The 5 Couleurs Cool Down Eyeshadow Palette*($73.00 CDN) has an embossing depicting a ripple of a drop hitting the water surface and is a mix of turquoise, midnight and pastel blues that actually look pretty amazing with a neutral face! The palette Heat Up is also available.

The Dior Addict Lipsticks are one of my favourite lipsticks to use because they are sheer enough that I don't need a mirror or a lip brush to apply, but have a formula that is buildable enough to give decent colour payoff. The center of the lipstick is a hydrating gel core which is what makes this lippie so moisturizing!

411 Nude Chill* ($44.00 CDN) is the perfect neutral to balance out the Cool Down palette and is really such an easy nude balm to wear with any makeup look.

040 White Splash* is slightly minty and has a hint of blue shimmer to give lips a plump. Honestly, this shade didn't make a huge difference for my lips so between the two, I would definitely go for Nude Chill.

The Dior Addict Lip Tattoos were released last year and I was pretty impressed (review) with the shade intensity and lasting power of the stain. 341 Litchi*($37.00 CDN) is a light coral that gives me the exact "I've just eaten a popsicle look". While coral isn't the most flattering shade one me, I can vouch that the reds and pinks in the Lip Tattoo series are brilliant. The shades: 641 Orange, 551 Watermelon and 571 Cranberry are also available.

This is probably one of my favourite new products. The Diorshow Cooling Stick in Gold Splash* ($41.00 CDN) is a waterproof eyeshadow stick that legit feels COOL on your skin upon application! I thought this wouldn't be precise enough for the lower lash line, but the angle of the stick made it easy to get up close and personal! The shades: 001 Bronze Wave and 003 Fresh Pink are also available.

For my makeup look, I mostly wanted to use the turquoise and bright blues so I did my best to work them into something wearable that wasn't too loud. I also wanted to look glowy and summery and by the end of my experimentation, I was pretty happy with the look and felt comfortable enough to wear it even to my conservative place of work!
