Dior Lemon Balm and Color Club Fashion Addict

I do apologize in advance for posting such a HTF color, but I love it so much! Plus, the whole purple/brown/taupe color is such a big trend for this season so you will be able to find something similar. Dior Lemon Balm:

I really don't think this picture does it justice. It looks different in different lights, sometimes more purple, sometimes more brown. It's kind of a mix of all three, with a bronze-brown shimmer. Great fall color! Application was good and there are three coats shown here, but you could get away with two.

Annnd, a holo! Color Club Fashion Addict:



I really love Color Club so far! Application was a dream. The consistency was perfect, not too thick or thin, very easy to work with. Of course the color is really pretty too! This one is a pinkish lavender holo; the holo effect is a bit more obvious than in my pictures. I think it is best seen under moderate indoor lighting.

After this I decided to put in a big Color Club order which should be coming soon! Also, I got my Chanel Khaki Vert but I decided to order the other two which are on their way as well. Whew, I think after this I am done for the season (until the next Rescue Beauty Lounge sale)!

Dior Nude Chic

I have to admit that at first the whole "mannequin hands" trend didn't appeal to me, but now I think it looks very chic and modern with the right shade. Not sure if this is it for me, but here is Dior Nude Chic:

It looks a bit more peach in some lights, but I think overall it's an okay nude for me. I might look into something a little darker and less pinkish. The application was good, but pretty sheer; this is three coats. I scored this on ebay, unfortunately I do not think it is available in stores anymore.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Vegas Haul

Hello everyone, back from Vegas! While I was there I stopped by the outlets and picked up some polishes. (Dior Sweet Orange is also included even though I bought it a little while ago):




Clockwise: American Apparel Mouse, Hassid, Butter, L'Esprit, Office, Hunter; MAC Beyond Jealous and Rich, Dark, Delicious; Chanel Paradoxal; Dior Sweet Orange




...and the elusive Dior Lemon Balm! I've wanted this for a few weeks now but of course it was sold out everywhere and selling for almost twice the retail on ebay. Luckily I won it for just a little more than retail!

I am super excited to try Lemon Balm of course, and Paradoxal is my first Chanel polish. Honestly, I don't necessarily think that high-end polishes are better than drugstore brands and I am often completely satisfied with cheaper dupes, but both the Dior colors and the Chanel are quite unique; I was unable to find anything just like them.

Okay, now I'm really going to try not to buy anymore until the next RBL sale, which I suspect is in December. It's only four months, right??

Dior Sweet Orange

I absolutely loved this color in swatch pictures and in the bottle, but I'm not sure yet if it really works with my skin tone:

It looks more peach in the shade and coral in the sunlight, with gold flecks. Maybe it would look better on toes or shorter nails; it kind of reminds me of the late 80s/early 90s right now. I think it might also look better on someone with paler or darker skin than mine, my hands are pretty much a medium olive.
