Diorific by Dior nail polish and lipstick holidays 2020: Diorific Red Wonders nail polish / Diorific Golden Snow glitter top coat / Diorific Dark Nights nail polish / Diorific Glittery Rose lipstick / Diorific Dazzling Beige lipstick /

Ah, the Diorific nail polish collection by Dior for the 2020 holiday season is here!  If you are interested in this collection, don’t wait to order! It has already sold out at the original retailer I purchased the collection at. I have linked to a retailer who has the entire collection in stock right now! I highly recommend ordering now so that you will have it in time for the holiday season; whether it is for yourself or you are giving it as a holiday gift.

I am still waiting for my Diorific Dark Nights package to arrive, so I don’t have my swatch photo for you yet. The shop I purchased it from is now sold out, but I have linked to an online store in this post where you can still find the collection in stock. Once I receive Diorific Dark Nights nail polish, I will quickly update this post to include a photograph. Please stay tuned and thank you for your patience!

I am absolutely in love with this sparkling collection for the holiday season. The glittering top coat is festive and beautiful. Diorific Golden Snow top coat took me a little bit surprise. The bottle appears white and silvery, but when you apply the top coat over your nail polish, it turns out to be a medium gold glitter! I guess I should have know it would be gold from the name! You can see the contrast in the photo below where I paired Golden Snow with Red Wonders. It’s the perfect holiday combo!

How pretty is Diorific Red Wonders nail polish from the Diorific nail polish holidays 2020 collection! It’s a classic holiday red which can be worn all ear long if you are a red fan. It has a slightly cherry tone, making it pretty and feminine. Love this holiday hue!

Isn’t Diorific Golden Snow top coat fabulous! It’s a rich, glittery gold top coat which looks amazing over the Diorific Red Wonders nail polish. I am in love with this holiday combo! I cannot wait to try it over Dark nights. Stay tuned for that photo!

All in all, the Diorific nail polish collection for the holiday 2020 season is beautiful I hope you love this collection as much as I do! I can’t wait to share Dark Nights with you when I receive it!

lancome la vie est belle edp review

‘Tis the season for a warm and sweet gourmand! I was thrilled when Lancome sent me their warm and sweet fragrance, Lancome La Vie est Belle edp. This cozy, floral gourmand fragrance is perfect for cooler temperatures, and the limited edition bottle is fabulous eye candy. Love!

For the holiday 2020 season, Lancome designed a sparkling bottle for their classic La Vie est Belle eau de parfum. The bottle has a sparkling little ribbon on its’ neck, and an ombre, silver glitter finish starting at the base, and thinning towards the middle. It’s festive, pretty, and wintery. This will be a beautiful bottle to keep on the counter, as well as give as a holiday gift to the fragrance fan on your list!

If you are a gourmand fan like me, you will love the heart notes of delicate Iris, tasty spun sugar, and warm vanilla. When you first spray Lancome La Vie est Belle edp on your wrist, the Iris scent will instantly capture you. Roughly five minutes into settling on your skin, a slightly spicy, and very warm scent takes over which balances out the Iris. You can detect the vanilla and sugar wrapped around the soft Iris scent. It’s pretty, warm, and ideal for cooler temperatures. This is definitely a warm and comforting scent for the late fall, winter, and early spring months. Loving it!

Lancome’s holiday 2020 beauty collection is selling fast. If you love gourmands, or have a gourmand fan on your holiday list, I highly recommend shopping early, and snapping up a bottle of this limited edition of Lancome’s La Vie est Belle edp now.

Can you believe the holiday season is so close! It is always a good idea to start thinking about holiday shopping in October. It helps us to organize our list, and solidify our budget. While this is an annual prep routine, 2020 is little bit different.

This year, online holiday shopping is expected to explode. Since many people live in areas where things haven’t fully reopened, and people are still skeptical about going out in public to do shopping, online shopping is going to be the main way people shop for the holidays. Since so many people will shopping online, delivery companies may find themselves with an overload of packages to deliver. This is expected to result in slow delivery times; which could delay the arrival of your gifts to your doorstep.

Since so many people will be flooding online shopping, it is wise to shop early in order to ensure the gifts we buy arrive in time for the holidays! I made the mistake of shopping late last year and my son’s Christmas gift arrived two days after Christmas. I cannot even begin to tell you how devastating this was for us. This year, I am starting to shop now; and I highly recommend you start too!

To kick off holiday shopping for her, I have put together an early bird holiday gift guide with fabulous gifts for her. I hope you love it! I know I do! Hopefully people who have me on their list see this 🙂 hehehehe
