Dior Au Natural Nude Look Palette-swatch & review

Hey, Everyone.

I've been eyeing this Dior palette for quite some time now and have been hesitant to pick it up. 

With it being around the Holiday's, I said what the heck, I'll treat myself. 

And if you know me, you know I piled on some free gift cards I picked up through Viggle.*

*Haven't heard of Viggle? Click the link and check out my post about it*  

The Dior Au Natural Nude Look Palette is a limited edition palette available at Sephora for $59.

This kit includes a full sized bronzer, three eyesadows, and two lip glosses in neutral shades all wrapped up in Dior's classic cannage style palette. 

The quality of the palette itself is amazing.

 It's also about the size of my hand.

How to get high end beauty products on a budget

How much money do you think I spent on these items?

Sephora VIB 500 point perk-DIOR bracelet and perfume-Worth it?

So, I cashed in my VIB points from Sephora. 

The 500 point perk right now is this DIOR charm bracelet and .17 fl oz Addict eau de toilette.

I know I've seen some saying this isn't worth the points, because every point is a dollar spent. True, true. But this is actually a really nice 500 point perk compared to some that I've seen.

It came in this super cute little box.

This is a nice deluxe sample. This is roughly worth $10 and I've seen it for $20 on ebay. 

I can't tell you what it smells like, I can't get the lid off to save my life.... LOL. And I don't want to spill a precious drop. :-P

This is a gorgeous charm bracelet! 

The charms are detailed and adorable.

It's actually pretty heavy and as far as I can tell, it's really nice quality. I can't tell you how much this is worth, but I'm thinking about getting it appraised. 

I know it's not going to be something amazing, but it is cute, and I love it.

A little shopping bag! How appropriate. :0)

If you like jewelry and like DIOR perfume, I would recommend cashing in your points. 

I know sometimes they have makeup as a point perk, and I can buy makeup any day, but this was something out of the ordinary so I had to have it. 

If this isn't something you'd wear, maybe give it as a gift to your daughter or your sister. They would LOVE it. 

Are you a sephora VIB? What has been the best point perk you've cashed in?

My Sephora haul *Picture heavy*

My Sephora package came. Yay! 

All my goodies.

Half of what I got was free. F-R-E-E, my favorite word. Ahhh. I love it. 

My free perfume samples in Gucci by Gucci Sport and Issey Miyake L'EAU D'ISSEY Florale.

The Gucci is 2ml and the other one is 1ml. 

If I'm going to get a perfume sample, I love getting them in the vials rather than the little towelette. ( I'm talking to you Taylor Swift! I got my Wonderstruck sample and it's a towelette and I have a sinus infection and can't really give a review and I opened it a little...hopefully it doesn't dry out before I get my senses back. ha)  I think in order to truly see if you like something you have to try it a few times. 

Both of these perfumes smell really good ( as much as I can tell), and I should say cologne because the Gucci one is for a man.

The other one is floral, and normally I don't really like floral scents too much, but this has a light floral scent and I can tolerate it. Floral scents normally give me a headache, so if you have that same problem, this perfume might be okay for you too if you're interested. 

I give them a thumbs up. 

I got a sample of this in my August Birchbox, the original kind, and I loved it.

I have combination to oily skin and found this light version, so I bought a travel sized one to try it out. 

I swatched it and the texture of the light feels like lotion. I'm curious to see how this will work compared to the original. The original feels like a smooth silicon and it wasn't heavy at all. 

All of my freebies. :-)

My Yves Saint Laurent mascara sample. (I posted the code for this a couple posts back)

I can NOT wait to try this. This mascara is supposed to give you the false eyelash look and believe me I need  all the help I can get for my poor little lashes. lol. 

This is a 3ml sample, not too bad, not too bad at all. It's a $15 value. 

I have a ton of mascaras to try before I can test this, look for those reviews in the near future.

I picked up this Dior Diorshow mascara in black. I've tried and reviewed D&G's volumizing mascara and LOVED it and wanted to compare it with Dior. 

Have you tried this mascara out yet? What are your thoughts on it? Worth the money? Did you love it or hate it? Let me know. 

I'll be doing a review on this, but like I said, I have a TON of mascara to go through before I get to this...eek...remind me to lay off the mascara purchases. ha.

My $8 NARS eyeshadows!! Yay. I'm so glad I found these little gems on the website...

and the deal is still available! Go check it out!

The packaging on NARS eyeshadows, and NARS in general, is so cute. I love the little mirrors. 

California and Night Sun.

Note: This has ALOT of chunky glitter in it. My camera couldn't pick up the glitter at all. 

It's a very pretty shadow. 

If you hate glitter, you could still get this as the glitter falls off pretty easily. You have to pack it on if you want the glitter to stay on. 

Swatch of Night Sun. It's pretty sheer. 

Swatch of California. 

This swatch looked better on my camera, sorry it's blurry. This is a VERY pigmented shadow. It's a lovely copper color. 

And last but not least, my two year old daughter wanted to help swatch. LOL. This is what was left over on my finger....SUPER pigmented.
