Dior nail polish summer 2026 review

The Dior summer 2026 nail polish collection is here! It includes two of my favorite types of nail polish; metallics and blue. Love!

Dior has gifted us a beautiful, soft golden nail polish and a polite, summery blue for the summer season, and I am here for it! I am already wearing Dior Azur as I type this post. It’s so pretty!

If you are looking for the perfect summer nail polish color to wear to the office and for travel, Dior Sunset nail polish is the ideal hue. It will play well with everything in your summer suitcase and since it’s on the lighter side, it won’t show chips. Love that!

For blue nail polish fans like me, Dior Azur nail polish is a fabulous shade of blue. It’s on the lighter side yet exudes warmth and dimension. Love the understated, sparkling composition! I cannot wait to wear this summer nail polish from Dior often.

I tested out the Dior nail polish summer 2026 collection with one base coat, and two coats of color. As always, these two nail polish hues from Dior are chip resistant and apply smoothly without streaking. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are the two nail polish colors for the summer 2026 season from Dior!

Dior nail polish summer 2026 | Dior Sunset

Dior nail polish summer 2026 | Dior Azur

There you have it! A fabulous, soft golden nail polish and a beautiful summer blue. I am looking forward to rocking these two nail polish colors throughout the summer season. Which color is your favorite?

Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask review

I have been on the hunt for a good pore cleansing mask for quite some time, but it has been hard to find one that not only works but doesn’t dry out my skin or cause other problems. Thankfully, I found Beauty of Joseon!

This is a really easy to use, traditional mask. After you wash your face, dry your face and then apply the mask. You leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off. Voila! Clean pores! Plus, my skin felt really good after using it. No dry skin or irritation. Love that!

It is really nice to have found a mask which not only leaves my skin feeling better than before using it, but also cleanses my pores as promised. My nose gets a lot of black heads, and this mask cleaned them out! Plus, my skin felt soft afterwards. Love! I am addicted to this mask! I will use it about once a week to keep my skin squeaky clean.

Want to know the best part? This Red Bean mask by Beauty of Joseon is extremely affordable! It’s way under $50. That might be the best part! It works way better on my skin than many masks priced over $100. So, I am hooked!

You can find Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask online here.

Thanks for stopping by!

YSL Libre Florals and Flames edp review

pictured: YSL Libre Floral and Flames edp 1 oz bottle / nail polish /

I am in love with YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp for the spring and summer seasons! Possibly beyond! Although categorized as a fresh floral, this acts as a spicy floral when on the skin. I am in love!

YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp combines fragrance notes of palm-tree flower accord, lily flower accord, vanilla, and orange blossom accord. This creates a warm, spicy floral experience perfect for warm weather; and also moderate temps. Love!

Since this is an eau de parfum formula, YSL Libre Floral & Flames lasts about ten hours on my skin. The spicy scent ends sooner, around six hours, and then you are left with a beautiful warm floral fragrance for the remaining, roughly four hours.

There are a few sizes of the YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp fragrance available, including a travel size you can take on airplanes. Love that! I purchased the one-ounce bottle, which is pictured above.

So, if you are looking for a new spicy floral, this is the one! It will also make a fabulous gift. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
