Dior Precious Rocks Holiday 2017 Collection & Being a Child Again

Every year, around Christmas time, I find myself wishing to travel back in time to when I still wondered how a kind, bearded man managed to reach every single child in the world in just one night.

Can you remember what it was like to believe that anything was possible?

Ahhh, and that thrilling anticipation…

That magic is long gone, but at least now there are holiday makeup collections to give me that exciting feeling of anticipation.

You know, it’s almost like being a child again.

Almost.

Dior Precious Rocks is one of this year’s holiday collections I got most excited about and today I want to share my excitement with you.

The Diorific Khôl Velvety Lipstick in 741 Deep Ruby is a gorgeous deep browny red. Dior describes the formula as having a “powdery matte finish”.

Err, no. Not at all.

It’s definitely more of a satin-matte.

Anyways, longevity is good and it stays comfy the whole time, so I have nothing to complain, really.

I was worried its unusual shape would make it hard to apply without a brush, but it’s actually really easy as you basically just use it like a lip crayon.

The Diorific Vernis in 745 Grenat has a beautifully opaque and self-leveling formula that makes it a great one-coater. Plus, its wide, domed brush allows you to cover a whole nail in one swipe for the quickest manicure ever.

If you only wanted to get one thing from the Dior Precious Rocks Holiday 2017 Collection I think the 5 Couleurs Precious Rocks Eyeshadow Palette in 857 Ruby  should be it. The color selection is beautiful and the shadows are nicely pigmented and blend like a dream.
