Whoa!
H5N1 calendar month without a novel post!
How did that happen?
My novel chore punched me inwards the face, total force, thus difficult that it took me a calendar month to larn upwardly together with larn my sh*t together. No, I don't function for the UFC every bit an MMA fighter. I'm simply a proper Japanese salarywoman now. With function meetings that in conclusion into eternity, together with nomikais to attend, together with urgent paperwork to accept aid of, together with weekend work, simply because. That kind of stuff.
What keeps me going is payday (that's the argue I took this chore inwards the outset place) together with i of my co-workers, who looks similar a Japanese version of Robert Downey Jr.
Anyway, what was I going to verbalize virtually today? I forgot already.
That should tell you lot everything you lot demand to know virtually this distressing mess that is Dior's outset attempt at a cushion foundation. That I am to a greater extent than excited to tell you lot virtually the guy I function amongst than this cushion. The guy is hot, this cushion is not.
If person had told me this ii months agone when I outset bought this cushion, I would receive got died laughing. But hither I am, ii months later, laid upwardly to finally acknowledge the truth.
This Diorsnow Bloom Perfect Brightening Perfect Moist Cushion SPF50 PA+++ is every bit far from perfect every bit you lot tin ship away larn without leaving our solar system.
There is no other agency to position it - this Diorsnow Bloom Perfect long shout out cushion sucks.
And it sucks big time.
Actually, it shouldn't surprise me. Dior does everything on a grand scale. So no wonder that if they practice something that sucks, it's sucking on a grand scale, too.
I dear Dior. I receive got ever loved Dior. I receive got loved Dior fifty-fifty when the products I bought were non working for me. Because Dior, you lot know? Just the shout out lonely makes me experience of import together with fancy.
I alive together with drib dead past times Dior mascaras together with Dior fragrances.
When Diorsnow outset appeared on the marketplace position (yes, I am that old), my panties nearly melted off from sheer excitement.
When in conclusion twelvemonth the word came out that Dior was working amongst Amore Pacific* to create a cushion foundation, it was every bit if a heavenly cherub choir was singing. I mean, Amore Pacific. Cushion. Dior. Impossible to f*ck it up, right? Right? RIGHT???
* Amore Pacific is a South Korean cosmetics giant, the domicile of such brands every bit Laneige together with Iope amid many others, that basically created the cushion foundation every bit nosotros know it.
And together with thus the cushion landed.
And everything has changed.
My Blue Planet volition never live the same.
So let's larn this develop wreck started, shall we?
First, the name.
Really? Are you lot freakin' kidding me?
Diorsnow Bloom Perfect Brightening Perfect Moist Cushion SPF50 PA+++ ???
Who the f*ck idea of this ridiculous name? Did they receive got a company-wide competitor for the longest together with most incomprehensible shout out together with the janitor, who didn't speak whatsoever English, submitted the winning entry?
Second, the price.
Really? Are you lot freakin' kidding me?
Yes, I know that this Diorsnow long shout out cushion is sold amongst a refill, the agency Asian cushions are, but seriously, 8500 yen summation tax?
What is this cushion made of? Unicorn farts together with pixie dust?
Probably I'd bitch less virtually the cost if this was a decent cushion, but alas, it is not.
Luckily, I didn't completely lose my heed because Dior together with exclusively bought a refill.
And luckily, because it was developed amongst Amore Pacific, it genuinely fits into Amore Pacific cushion compacts.
Third, the performance.
Really? Are you lot freakin' kidding me?
Really, if I am going to pass that much coin on a luxury cosmetic, I await it to be, you lot know, luxury together with stuff.
What I don't await it to practice is to oxidize inside xxx seconds of existence applied.
And I don't await it to totally rub off together with disappear inside three hours of existence applied.
This cushion was released inwards Nihon the same 24-hour interval that the Shu Uemura cushion hitting the stores and, of course, I was at the Dior counter that afternoon laid upwardly to shop.
I'm glad they added that past times Dior disclaimer, but I'm certain at that topographic point volition all the same live naive souls out at that topographic point reading it together with believing that it was Dior who came upwardly amongst the outset cushion ever.
I asked the sales assistant for the lightest shade, 005, together with she dutifully swiped to a greater extent than or less on my hand. And nosotros both stared inwards utter horror.
She looked at the cushion label, she looked at printed color table, together with thinking the cushion was mislabeled, genuinely went to opened upwardly a novel one.
She swatched it on my arm again, together with the same matter happened. The swatch turned into a night mess inside xxx seconds.
Her exact words were "I don't know why it's thus dark, but it's besides night for you. I can't sell this cushion to you. The color looks naught similar the swatch table. I'm thus sorry."
This cushion comes inwards three shades: 005, 010 together with 020 - dark, darker together with the darkest.
005 was supposed to live the lightest, developed amongst fair-skinned Japanese women inwards mind. I am non Japanese, but at that topographic point is plenty of Japanese base of operations makeup I tin ship away wear. Because it's lite plenty for me. And because it doesn't oxidize at i time upon application.
H5N1 calendar week later, at a unlike Dior counter, the sales staff was much improve prepared. They clearly knew that this shit oxidizes similar crazy together with were instructed on how to apply it.
I was sat inwards forepart of the mirror together with apartment out told that the color is supposed to live that dark. Because, justice what? It's supposed to live applied onto a glutinous white primer base of operations to expression good.
Having said that, the sales lady grabbed non one, but TWO bottles of unlike white primers together with went to work. When she turned me into a white faced geisha, she together with thus applied a layer of cushion on plow over of it all.
She also clearly knew that this cushion has a lasting ability of zero, because she together with thus proceeded to usage copious amounts of pulverization to laid it all into place. She didn't halt until she turned me into a noh mask. And despite her best efforts the foundation all the same managed to darken. She pretended it was supposed to expression similar that. As if having a human face upwardly several shades darker than the cervix is a novel fashion trend, or something.
When I was leaving the counter, I overheard to a greater extent than or less other customer, a middle aged Japanese woman, complaining that "Why is this foundation thus dark? Is this the lightest color?"
That somehow leads me to believe that Dior's mindset is all the same stuck inwards the colonial times, when them Asian savages were considered xanthous faced beasts.
Asian brands somehow create practice to build a multifariousness of shades to accommodate a multifariousness of lighter pare tones (darker pare tones, that's unfortunately, to a greater extent than or less other story), both Asian together with non-Asian. And a western build patently took the reference to "yellow race" quite literally.
What the fuck Dior?
Swatch of Diorsnow Bloom Perfect Brightening Perfect Moist Cushion SPF50 PA+++ inwards shade 005:
Anyway, is at that topographic point anything I similar virtually this cushion?
Apart from the fact that it looks similar a Korean cushion together with fits into Amore Pacific cushion compacts, no, non really.
Fourth, the ingredients.
Really? Are you lot freakin' kidding me?
Its magical brightening powers are supposed to come upwardly from its star gene - edelweiss a.k.a. Leontopodium alpinum.
But when you lot expression at the gene list, you lot volition consider that Leontopodium alpinum extract is the 36th gene out of 48 ingredients total. Ahead of this magical extract nosotros receive got "parfum" together with nearly all other fragrance ingredients inwards the formulation. Which makes it clear that the pitiful edelweiss is at that topographic point inwards describe amounts, exclusively for marketing purposes.
Diorsnow Bloom Perfect Brightening Perfect Moist Cushion SPF50 PA+++ ingredients:
So at that topographic point you lot receive got it.
What should receive got been tears of joy that nosotros finally larn a decent cushion from a western brand, turned into the weeping sixty minutes over my ain stupidity for buying this nonsense.
At to the lowest degree the puff looks familiar, wouldn't you lot say?
And the other side:
Conclusion:
I should receive got listened to myself together with sat this i out.
But I didn't. Because Dior, you lot know.
Stupid me.
Po polsku:
Poniewaz podklad w poduszce Diorsnow Bloom Perfect Brightening Perfect Moist Cushion SPF50 PA+++ to kolaboracja Diora z poludniowo-koreanskim gigantem kosmetycznym Amore Pacific, oczekiwalam poduszki o poludniowo-koreanskim standardzie (czyli o swiatowym standardzie).
Amore Pacific to koncern practice ktorego naleza takie marki jak, miedzy innymi, Laneige i Iope. Marki Amore Pacific sa znane ze swoich podkladow w poduszkach i co roku plasuja sie na czolowych miejscach w kosmetycznych rankingach.
Od Diora oczekiwalam takiej samej jakosci.
A tymczasem to co zaserwowal nam Dior pod postacia Diorsnow Bloom Perfect Brightening Perfect Moist Cushion SPF50 PA+++ to kosztowny bubel.
Podklad 10 utlenia sie w ekspresowym tempie i ma zerowa trwalosc.
Skladnik, ktory jest na czolowym miejscu marketingowej papki, edelweiss (szarotka alpejska), znajduje sie na 36 miejscu w skladzie. Caly sklad ma 48 pozycji i powyzej szarotki znajduje sie cala gama skladnikow perfumowych. To mowi samo za siebie.
Pomimo zapewnien, ze kolory tego podkladu zostaly dobrane z mysla o azjatyckich karnacjach, sa i malo trafione. Co wraz z ekspersowym utelnianiem powoduje, ze mamy trzy odcienie koszmarnej zoltosci - ciemny, ciemniejszy i karykaturalny.
Nie wiem czy eksperci kolorystyczni od Diora wiedza, ze Azjatki raczej stronia sie od slonca i ze wiele z nich odcieniowo plasuje sie w okolicach NC15. H5N1 jak 10 podklad ma sie practice NC15 to widac na swatchach.
Podsumowujac, Diorsnow Bloom Perfect Brightening Perfect Moist Cushion SPF50 PA+++ to bubel.
