REVIEW: Rouge Dior Lipstick in Star Fuchsia (with swatches)

31 March 2012

Rouge Dior Haute Couleur Voluptuous Care Lipstick in Star Fuchsia #766 | £22.50

Boots – Debenhams – John Lewis – House of Fraser

The most recent addition to my ever growing collection of lipsticks is the Rouge Dior Lipstick in ‘Star Fuchsia’ (#766). The midnight blue case and the engraved ‘CD’ signature on the lid looks and feels very high end, as it should do. The shade of this lippie dazzled me from the very first sight; A bright fuchsia with no shimmer, no nothing, just colour.

If the gorgeous colour of ‘Star Fuchsia’ isn’t enough of a selling point, this lipstick, when applied to the lips feels like pure silk! It’s incredibly nourishing and moisturising, without compromising the colour payoff, which lately seems to be a major problem of lipsticks. But not this one. It’s both rich in pigmentation and soft on the lips. According to Dior, this is due to the nourishing Hyaluronic particles that transforms colour into lip care.

This funny looking photo of the swatch on the side of my thumb has a purpose. The shop assistant that sold me this lipstick saw me swatching it on the back on my hand, as I’ve always done, and told to swatch it on the right side of my thumb, as it’s the best place to see how the lipstick will actually come out on the lips. I didn’t get as far as asking why, but if anyone knows, please share the knowledge :)

Without a doubt this lipstick has earned its place into my favourites. It has incredible pigmentation, amazing staying power and it’s super moisturising. I really can’t fault it! I’m sure you’ll be seeing it a lot around here.

What do you think of the Rouge Dior Lipstick range? Do you like ‘Star Fuchsia’? Let me know! :)

    That shade looks amazing on you! I love bright pink but it’s so difficult to match the right shade to the right colourings; I think this one is spot on :) xx

    Thanks, lovely! I agree, bright pinks that go wrong can look so cheap, but this one is spot on. Great colour for spring :) xx

    It thought so as well, but I don’t own Girl About Town, so I wasn’t sure. Saves me having to buy it :) xx

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
