Dose of Lola

Here's my almost current Dior quint collection. I'm missing swatches of Five Golds and Beige Massai, which I'm sure I'll post eventually.





Stylish Move is probably my most used quint. The colors just work so well together. It's pretty much fool proof. :]




I love Earth Reflection for days when I want to look super alert and bright-eyed. The taupes in this quint aren't overly cool, so it works for me. 




Night Dust is one of my favorite quints. The color combination might be a little strange, but it works! I love wearing the periwinkle on the lid with the bronze in the crease. It's a gorgeous contrast. :]










Dior does purple so well! This is the perfect nighttime quint, but the shades are versatile enough to work for day looks as well.




Crush Glow...meh. Not my favorite. Check out my review here.






I love looking at this quint so, so much. I can't wear it, though. It just doesn't work on me.




Pink Idol is such a pretty, iridescent quint that looks great layered over so many different bases. Love!




I always forget I own this, but it really is a beautiful quint. I should use it more often.


Now, for a couple old school quints...




Doesn't this just scream summer? This is the kind of pigmentation I was hoping to get from Crush Glow.




Verte Siderant is just...stunning. Look at that blue!




This is another quint that layers very well. I love the green over black. Perfection.






I've reviewed a lot of these quint on my Youtube channel, so check those out if you're interested.

Lately, I've heard a few people suggest that Sunset Cafe and Crush Glow are similar. I don't see it at all, so I figured I'd post my swatches and let you decide for yourself. The only thing they have in common is the fact that they're my two least favorite quints....but I'll save my reviews for another post.

I forgot I owned MAC Honour until a fellow MuT poster requested a comparison of that and NARS Albatross. Luckily, it didn't take me too long to find it tucked away with all my other unused pro pan blushes. After a quick self-scolding, I got to work. I added Sertao to the comparison because, quite frankly, Honour is so much closer to that than Albatross. On with the show!











Sertao, Honour, Albatross


Same order in swatches:




Sertao is much more opaque than Honour, but if applied less heavily, they're basically identical on my skin. Albatross gives off a strong yellow-gold sheen. Definitely different.

I'll be compiling my NARS shadow swatches here, so everytime I haul one (or five), refer to this post for swatches.



Sidenote: I saw someone post that MAC shadows are far superior to NARS and Stila. Uhh lol...what? Every brand has hits and misses and to place all MAC shadows above every other brand is simply delusional...

About me

As a kid, while everyone else was collecting Pokemon cards, I was collecting Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My addiction to lip balm evolved into an addiction to all things beauty – from makeup to hair to nail polish.
