More Dior Skincare Products ... Talk about a Dior Addict!

I went for my free makeup lesson with Dior (a perk fm my earlier purchase of the anti-wrinkle serum). And came away with these:

I thought my mom would benefit from these beauty products as well. And since she had pretty much admitted to neglecting herself and not pampering herself over the years, I thought she really deserved these. I got her the Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Concentrated Serum and One Essential. The rest of the stuff are promotional/freebies thrown in. Does it look like a good deal?

I was sorely tempted to get their undereye concealer (Diorskin Sculpt, Smoothing Lifting Concealer) as it's part of the Capture Totale line, which prides itself in providing anti-aging skincare while it conceals. As I'm not into plastic surgery or non-invasive cosmetic procedures (like Botox injections etc), I need all the help I can get! However, after spending so much, I gamely resisted (but truth be told, it was mainly cos it was out of stock! heh heh ... ).

I was also tempted to get their lipstick (Dior Addict High Color, Pink Ardor #674). Somehow, the shade suited me perfectly. I had been looking for a lighter shade of lipstick, hoping to create a younger/fresher look, but having pretty dark lips, I couldn't take a lot of these shades, so I'd effectively given up searching for my perfect lipstick and just stuck to my Rosebud Salve (which incidentally, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND). But this particular Dior lipstick has somehow managed to work for me really well ... it's basically everything I've been looking for in a lipstick. However, at NT950, I had to sadly turn it down. When did lipsticks get so pricey?

Dior Skincare ... Fabulous!

Last week, I discovered some brow lines! Horrors! So, I started frantically searching for a good anti-wrinkle serum, and discovered it's amazingly difficult to find a good beauty product. With the huge range of skincare products available, it's hard to zoom in on one which majority of people swear by. A problem when confronted with too many choices ... not that I'm complaining ...

Exhausted by all my searching, I finally decided to try Dior's skincare range for anti-wrinkles for 2 reasons - one, they were having a promotion at Mitsukoshi near my apt, and two, this product got quite a high rating on Sephora.

So, this is what I've been using every night since Saturday:

Back Row (L to R): Dior One Essential (supposedly took 15 years of research to come up with this product which helps to prime the skin for more effectiveness of whatever products you apply on top of it), Dior Capture R60/80 Ultimate Wrinkle Correction Serum (doesn't this sound ever so powerful? Like it'll wipe away all wrinkles within minutes! A Terminator of Wrinkles!), Dior Capture R60/80 Nuit XP Overnight Recovery Serum.

Front Row (L to R): Dior Capture R60/80 Ultimate Wrinkle Correction Creme and Clinique All About Eyes.

In my haste to eradicate and terminate all brow lines (or lines of any sort on my face and neck), I have been diligently using all the above products every single night since I purchased them. It's been four days, and honestly and objectively, I really do think that my brow lines have disappeared ... or at least are greatly diminished! Hurray! However, I have no idea which serum or cream is the miracle one. So now, I'm wondering if I just have to keep buying them all to keep wrinkles at bay ... hmmm ...

I think I'll go get a set for my mom and MIL too ....
