Dior Summer 2011 - Electric Tropics

DIOR Summer Look 2011

Dior Electric Tropics Summer Color Collection
The house of Dior invites us on an exhilarating journey to the Tropics for his Spring/Summer 2011 Collection: floral motifs, dresses, with sun-steeped prints, feathers and exotic embroidery, ensembles that explore the borders between masculinity and femininity with fresh sensuality. Sailor uniforms get sassy with lace, shagreen prints and crowns of hibiscus, orchids, and South Pacific palm trees.

Drawing inspiration from this collection, which plays up flamboyance and sunny retro refinement, Creative Director of Dior Makeup Tyen presents a collection inspired by paradise. This makeup look highlights the contrast between audacious neon colors and sun-kissed skin.

Electric Nails

Dior Vernis introduces two new must-have fluorescent shades straight from the Dior runway. To amp up their shine, each fashion-forward shade comes with an ultra-shiny top coat for a dazzling mirror effect.

Dior Addict Crystal Gloss

This breakthrough gloss coats the lips in incredible crystal summer shine. The translucent or iridescent shades waver between fruity or tangy peach and pink effects that offer an instant radiance boost. Enriched with a polymer gel, the vinyl texture immediately delivers volume to the lips, backed by long-lasting comfort and optimal hydration.

Diorskin Healthy Glow Powder

This couture-style summer powder is the must-own accessory that will be coveted by all Dior addicts. Woven like the Lady Dior Avenue clutch, the powder brings a new sparkle to the eyes and flatters the complexion. Each harmony mixes four shades that individually capture a facet of light to reproduce the "healthy glow" of sun-kissed skin.
* Dior Nude Healthy Glow Powder in Aurora #001 MSRP $46.00
* Dior Nude Healthy Glow Powder in Sunset #002 MSRP $46.00

Diorskin Healthy Glow Fluid
Diorskin Nude Glow Fluid recreates the dazzling illusion of sun-kissed skin. Amber prisms act like color filters that delicately warm up the complexion, creating a strikingly natural effect. Its sorbet texture is concentrated with Mineralized Water for instant and lasting skin-refreshing action. When applied, it transforms into a powder and offers a light, velvety finish for a "bare skin" look.
* Dior Nude Healthy Glow Fluid in Rosy Nude #001 (Specialty doors) MSRP $46.00
* Dior Nude Healthy Glow Fluid in Honey Nude #002 (Specialty doors) MSRP $46.00

BlushingNoir thinks... "I absolutely love the sound of this collection. I'm all about nudes and natural for my day to day looks, so the powders, glosses and 5-Colour's are right up my alley. For some reason I can't seem to find swatches or pics of that lippie, but it sounds divine for a night out on the town! Can't wait to get to the store for this one. This collection is popping up NOW. It's online for sure and Bloomingdales in Philidelphia told me May 1 it should be at their counter. Keep your eyes peeled!"
