As I finally finished the samples of Dior Hydra Life Eye BB Crème I got about a month ago, I though I'd update my first impression post.
From further experience with the Dior Eye BB Crème, I learned:
- if you even just overapply it, it gets cakey, powdery, and gets into my fine lines;
- on my skin it turns color after a while: its warmth disappears and becomes grayish. This may be on interaction with my particular skin type, as it's not the first product to turn color on my skin (for example, the MUFE HD foundation oxidizes on my skin and becomes yellow), and the BB Eye Crème could be perfectly fine;
- while it's very lightweight, it also does not last as long as my usual concealer;
- my Erborian BB Cream, if used carefully around the eyes, and both my Estèe Lauder Double Wear concealer have more coverage and lasting power than the Dior Eye BB Cream.
So after careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that for me the Dior Hydra Life BB Eye Crème works as a concealer with medium coverage. It has its strong points: it has a very light formula and texture and that a little goes a very long, long way.
So if you like your concealer with a light formula and coverage, this product may be for you. If you are looking for a cream/concealer with the miracle powers of a BB Cream, then I'd say that this product is not it and you are better off spending your 45$ in a specific eye product. Just a personal opinion, though.
Do any of you have tried the Dior BB Eye Cream? does it works for you? is it worth the money?

Day 101. Dior Hydra Life BB Eye Creme in 02 Luminous Peach [first impressions]
A few days ago I got an email from Sephora that said that they were giving away samples of the new BB Eye Creme from Dior, so I went and got one. I was a bit disappointed and felt that the Sephora email was a bit misleading because it strongly implied that it was a sample size bottle, instead it's just a 1ml/0.03oz sachet sample. Anyway, I decided to try out this new product and do another first impression post.
So without farther ado...

Day 28. Kiss with a fist
Today looks is inspired by Florence + the Machine song "Kiss with a fist" which came up while I was about to do my make up. I did an agrressive, dark and matte colored eye make up (which may kind of look like a bruise) but that at the same time I think it complements my eye color beautifully.

- Sleek Make Up iDivine Ultra Matte V2 (Dark Mattes) palette in Maple (purple-burgundy color), Paper Bag (brown color), and Dune (beige/nude color)
- Make Up For Ever Aqua Black
- Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara

Day 26. Silver lining
Today look was inspired by a mineral eyeshadow my friend S. gave me a few days ago and that she couldn't get to work. It's a pretty light and sedated look for my standards but I think it works well for day look! I also think it's quite simple and elegant.

- Make Up For Ever Aqua Black gel eyeliner
- Mac Chromagraphic Pencil in NW25/NC30
- Dior Iconic Overcurl Mascara
- Dr Hauschka Novum Lipstick in 08

Day 5. Almost nude
The look for Day 5 is one of my favorite. It's suitable for work, or just to go out, for the day or for the night. The eye make up is really basic, almost nude, easy to do, but you can play with the lip color, to make the whole look more daring.
Products:
- Mac Paint Pot in Quite Natural
- Mac Fluidline in Rich Ground
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eyepencil in Baked
- Kiko Super Color Mascara in 04
- Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick in 476
