Dior Goldrush Collection
Now that the warm weather is upon us, it’s time to put the cool, winter colors away and break out your warm, summery colors--beautiful bronzes, golds and corals. Just in time for summer, Dior is releasing its Goldrush collection. The collection features four new shades of Addict High Shine lipstick and 18-Karat versions of the 5-color eyeshadow palette and Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in tan, shimmery gold and coral hues.
The collection also includes a limited-edition medallion that contains an all-over golden glow highlighter for the eyes, cheeks and lips. The compact is adorned with champagne crystals and a satin ribbon, what a fabulous little trinket to wear around the neck or tie on your bag! I love multi-purpose products like this. Beauty Snob tip- apply a dab of this on your bottom lip over your favorite lipstick or gloss. $55 at Dior counters nationwide, Christian Dior also at Sephora.com.

Laura Mercier cosmetics is one of my favorite brands, I have never regretted a purchase at one of her counters (which is saying a LOT considering I am the sucker who buys anything and everything at make up counters just for fun) and use everything I have ever bought there (how amazing are her make up sponges?). Her eyeshadows always provide plenty of coverage without streaking (you know, like that flaky dry powdery texture a lot of cosmetic brands have) and the color lasts all day and night. Important for me as I do not like to re-apply eyeshadow before a cocktail party nor do I like to start over (I like to powder, gloss and go). The limited edition palette ($38) is available in two combinations:
