Mischo Beauty Review: Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Natural Glow Face

I was sad to learn that Lancome recently discontinued it's Flash Bronzer Face Gel, remember me mentioning it here and here? So I recently stopped in Sephora to find a replacement and picked up Dior's Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Natural Glow Face and unfortunately it's not what I'd expected. First, it's very heavily scented- almost, feels like I'm applying perfume to my face. And secondly, I have yet to see the color payoff. My expectation is for a natural, fresh-looking glow and it just doesn't deliver for me. So, my hunt continues...

If you have a recommendation for me, please let me know! Thanks.

Mischo Beauty Loves Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect & YSL La Laque Nail Lacquer

Last week one of my followers on Twitter asked me what my favorite hair products were and why. Well I love answering any/all beauty related questions- you all know it's my passion, so don't ever hesitate to send them! Anyway, I was going through my makeup bag this morning and wanted to share with you two of my favorite products- at the moment- that I first blogged about last year.

The first is Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect Linen Beige #317, which I posted here and here. The second is YSL La Laque Nail Lacquer Tulipe Noire #34, which is down to the last drop! I'd love to know what products you're loving at the moment- for hair, skin or nails!

Mischo Beauty Loves Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect

The last time I mentioned Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect Linen Beige #317 I told you all that it was my lip gloss of the moment (almost a year ago). Well, it's moved up in the world and I'm admitting today that it is my favorite! It's sold out on Sephora.com and I found myself searching a few Sephora stores for it just yesterday.

It's described as an "opalescent beige shimmer", so it's shimmery/sparkly, and the color for me is the perfect nude- I love it! It's non-sticky and one of the few lip glosses I can wear without having to wear lipstick as a base (many lip glosses are drying!).

Anyway, what's your all-time favorite lip gloss?

Mischo Beauty Extra: Dior Vernis "Black Sequins" Nail Polish

This week's nail polish pick was inspired by Sasha Fierce, herself - and should definitely be a part of your nail polish collection. The color is hot!

"Black Sequins gives nails a celestial shimmer. The raven black lacquer contains silver flecks that make your nails look like a starry night- they glitter."

I'd love to know your thoughts! Oh, and by the way, I included my favorite lip gloss of the moment in the last photo- it's Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect #317, and it's amazing!

Mischo Beauty Product Review: Dior DiorShow Mascara

This mascara has been a favorite for many for a while now and I can't believe I'm just getting around to reviewing it! I must admit that the print ads are what drew me in initially. Having worked in advertising, I can fully appreciate a well executed ad campaign. Excellent photography, a beautiful model, flawless makeup and perfect retouching are what sold me!

After picking it up from Sephora and using it for a few weeks I was completely convinced! Though the tube itself is somewhat long, I do love the sleek package design. My favorite part about the mascara is the brush. The bristles are thick, full and lush. The application is very smooth, catching every lash, and believe it or not- one coat is enough. But for going out, I usually apply three coats on each side for extra length, volume and that "faux" lash look.

I will tell you that this is on the higher end of mascaras, it is a little more expensive, but I feel it's worth it if you have the budget for it!

What's your favorite mascara?
