Dior Diorific State of Gold Illuminating Pressed Powder 001 Luxurious Beige Holiday 2015 Base Makeup 1

.

When I came across information on Dior‘s holiday 2015 makeup collection, I was a little disappointed to see another Diorific pressed powder. Even though I do love the packaging of Diorific items, the new one for 2015 doesn’t look that much different from the previous two from 2013 and 2014. Still, I decided to get it with my Boots points.

Kao Sofina Primavista Face Powder Keep and Reset Spring Summer 2009 Base Makeup 1

.

Today, my Stash Debut series continues with Primavista!

Primavista is a base make line from Kao Sofina. It was launched in fall 2008 to replace (my beloved) Raycious. I had a chance to try Powder Foundation Moist Touch and a kind friend shared a couple of other items with me as well, but Face Powder (Keep & Reset) was my first purchase from the line. (See here for information on and reviews of products from Primavista Ange, a sub-line of Primavista).

Dior Diorific Golden Shock Illuminating Pressed Powder 001 Gold Shock Holiday 2014 Base Makeup 1

.

I have always liked the golden curvy bottles and cases of Dior‘s Diorific items, so it has been nice to see new Diorific items for the holiday seasons in 2012, 2013 and 2014. For holiday 2014, Dior released Diorific Golden Shock Illuminating Pressed Powder. It is fairly similar to Perfumed Illuminating Powder for holiday 2013, but I did decide to get it after getting the one from last year.

Liz Earle Natural Finish Pressed Powder 02 Sheer Ivory 1

.

Founded in the UK in 1995, Liz Earle has been a well-established skincare brand for years. Many of its skincare products that I have come across are antioxidant-rich and without the irritating alcohol or fragrant plant oils. In recent years, the brand has branched out into fragrance, haircare, and makeup. In 2011, I reviewed Sheer Skin Tint SPF15, which is one of the first products in the brand’s makeup range. Today I am reviewing Natural Finish Pressed Powder in 02 Sheer Ivory and Healthy Glow Powder Blushes in 02 Blossom and 06 Nectar.
