First off, you got yer basic stuff. Lipstick, eyeshadow, the whole shebang. I saw something about a Dior Addict Lip Glow Reviving Lip Balm. Coral, specifically. Apparently, it’s gonna cost ya a pretty penny, even come March 2025. Like, imagine, planning your lip balm budget that far out! Sheesh.
But here’s the thing, Dior ain’t just about slapping on some color. It’s, like, an experience, ya know? Peter Phillips, the dude in charge of the pretty colors, sees it as an “eterna fonte de inspiração,” which, if I remember my rusty high school Spanish (or is it Portuguese? Whatever!), means eternal source of inspiration. So, basically, you’re paying for inspiration. Which, let’s be real, is kinda…genius? I mean, who *doesn’t* want to be inspired by their lipstick?
And then there’s the whole gift set situation. They’re dangling these “LAST-MINUTE GIFTS” with a free Dior makeup bag if you spend over $200. Classic Dior, right? Makes you feel like you’re getting a deal, even though you’re still dropping a small fortune. Plus, they throw in “Miss Dior Eau de Parfum and La Mousse OFF/ON minis.” Okay, the perfume sounds nice, but what even *is* “La Mousse OFF/ON minis”? Sounds kinda sus, tbh. Probably something expensive and tiny that I’d lose in my purse immediately.
Honestly, the whole thing is a bit of a rollercoaster. You go from seeing a single lip balm price and thinking, “Okay, manageable,” to suddenly being bombarded with gift sets and perfumes and talk of “eternal inspiration” and you’re like, “Wait, how did I end up spending my rent money on makeup?!”
But, and this is a big but, the stuff *is* really nice. Like, *really* nice. The packaging alone is drool-worthy. And let’s be real, sometimes you just gotta treat yourself, right? Especially if you can snag a free makeup bag out of it. And hey, maybe that “eternal inspiration” will actually kick in and you’ll write a best-selling novel or something. Then you can buy even *more* Dior makeup! It’s a vicious cycle, I tell ya.
