As you may know, it was the week of the couture shows and I really enjoyed looking at the makeup. I am always looking forward to see the makeup at the Dior show as Pat McGrath always  comes up with something amazing.

This year she created a simple but chic and classic look.

Prefect flawless complexion, subtle blush and lip colour and beautiful  eye liner with some natural looking false lashes!

I also totally love the nail polish from the show. I am guessing it’s from the Les Vernis Violets Hypnotiques collection.

Here is a close-up of the look on Karlie Kloss.

Remeber my post about the Diorshow new mascaras and eye shadow quads?

Turned out Dior team found out that I am a fan of Diorshow mascara and asked if I’d like to try out the newest one.  So here it is.

It comes in a classic Dior design which I really like…

The first thing that you notice is the small rubber brush with an interesting design which looks like a brush for the bottom lashes (those are a big thing now).

It takes time to get used to it but, in my opinion, this is a great brush as it allows a very precise application and you can get great results  from the roots of the lashes without making a mess. And it is great for lower lashes, too!

As for the general effect, I like it as well. I find that this mascara gives my lashes

Just after the collections of grey and red nail polishes Dior releases the collection of purple nail polishes called  Les Vernis Violets Hypnotiques.

Of course the visuals and the story behind the launch is beautiful, as usual!

Christian Dior described purple as a demanding and sophisticated shade: the “king of colours.”

‘From the iconic lilac worn by the couturier’s muse Mitzah Bricard to the deepest aubergine shade adorning the legendary bottle of the Poison fragrance, purple comes in endless shapes and forms in the Dior world. Floral, it is a fashion echo of the mysterious beauty of the iris and clematis.’

So here is the celection of purple shades that Dior offers with this collection:

Its intense, shimmering version: Shadow (Dior Vernis No. 783)

You can see my favourite lip products of 2010 here and I still really love them but I’ve decided to show you some new products that I’ve been loving this year.

Illamasqua Lipstick in Atomic

This has been my favourite lipstick of 2011 in terms of colour. It is bright fuchsia with a blue sheen.  It is very pigmented and looks amazing on the lips. It was always a pleasure wearing it. You can see lip swatch here.

Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm and Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector

I had a big ‘Clarins moment’ this year and I’ve bought quite a few products from the brand.  Both their Colour Quench Lip Balm and Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector are brilliant products and I really love using them. Now I plan to try all Clarin’s lip products actually. Read detailed review and see swatches here.

Anna Sui Sui Lip Gloss

This is the only Anna Sui product that I have tried but I love it so much that may just call this gloss in 001 my favourite gloss of 2011!
