Today I would like to share two of my favorite pieces from Dior's Spring Collection, Kingdom of Colors. I have swatched the pieces I have picked up and during the process, I was so excited to find out that the grey mono was not just another grey but it has lovely multi color glitters inside. It is so magical so is its name "fairy grey".

It is also the first time I am trying Dior's Rouge Baume formulation. I have it in #678 Gala which is a limited edition shade for Spring 2015 Collection. I really like it much more than I thought I would. Here are some photos in action...

It is hard to believe that it is going to be up to 15 degrees Celsius outside tomorrow. I am getting all warmed up to the idea of a wonderful Spring, the new birth of nature and pretty colors which come with it to the trees and on the nails. Today I have blues and greens for your tips and toes from Burberry. 

I have purchased them last year when they were available during fashion week. There is a pink and a blue set of three colors which come in a box. I one of the shades in the pink box was a repromote from last year's summer collection which I already own so I went with the blue box.

I hope you are all having a great weekend. I have been super excited about the new eye product of Armani, Eye Tints, since the promo images started appear. I have been head over hills with all the eye products the company recently released, just to name a few, Eyes To Kills, Macro-Color Solo Eye Shadows and recently released Eye & Brow Maestros. This is why I had high expectations with Eye Tints as well. As I laid my hands on one of the shades recently, I would like to share my thoughts with you today.

I have a memory of checking out my e-mails when we are driving home after shopping between Christmas and New Years Eve. I see an e-mail from MAC Cosmetics. Lightness of Being Collection is released here. I was expecting it a little later, I try to purchase the Mineralize Skinfinishes since I like them and those have very cute patterns. We live on a hill so while online side keeps on crushing and not accepting my credit card, the serpentine way gets even more unbearable, so I had to ask my husband to stop. He must have thought something bad is happening, so he pulls to side. I complete my order without saying a word then I add, "alright, ordered". And he is like "You are unbelievable!" *me grins*

Good news though, my picks can still be found at stores and even online. Today I would like to share my thoughts about my picks from MAC Lightness of Being Collection. Mineralize Skinfinishes in Perfect Topping and Lightscapade as well as Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Force of Nature.

Sorrow Unmasked: Rouge Bunny Rouge Allegria Eau de Parfum, Review & Photos

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
...
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart 
and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, 
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
...

Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, 
needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.
"
- Kahlil Gibran from Joy and Sorrow


Today it is about Allegria Eau de Parfum, the Joy (in Italian) by Rouge Bunny Rouge. A fragrance which lifts my spirit as much as the joy of the nature in Spring.

Since I am back to work and have much to do after a rather long sickness and holiday, I am still trying to fit blogging to my schedule. Just in case if I don't answer to some questions and comments, please search for me at Instagram wildness, I am usually hanging there more often than I should. 

Today I have the center piece of Dior's Kingdom of Colors Spring Collection. I love the name of this one as it is about color. I am always very excited if a high-end brand wants to take some risk and do something different. After I play with the pieces at the counter today, I thought this collection is not so much about colors after all, it is about multi dimensional glitter and shimmer on springy soft shades. I was very excited about the cream eye shadows when I tried them today. I might have to go back for a few more items too. The collection grows on me, as did Dior Kingdom of Colors Palette. Once applied I liked it more than I thought I would...

I am still struggling through my new schedule. I would like to get this very pretty palette posted last night but I was too sleepy to do so. Also over the past days I have noticed that the most important thing that has a big impact on how pretty you look may be free but still hard to get, it is... Sleep!

Do you also notice feeling yourself extra pretty or appearing much better on photos if you had a good night's sleep? I was thinking maybe it is just my mind playing games but photos after a short night's sleep always need more editing. Alright, back to the topic...

Today I have a gorgeous palette to share with you, Lancôme My Paris Eye Shadow Palette. I can't get over the fact that how pretty the packaging is, grey and pink, roses and Eiffel, yay! Pink pumps and black stockings with pink dress, I'd save this one only for drawings. Oh and why does the dog bark to roses? *confused*

I hope you are all having a great weekend. Mine is almost over and due to a back ache today was not very productive. I don't know where it comes and hoping that it will go away soon. It was a nice and sunny day and we took an extensive walk outside at the park. It is still rather cold though so I am not feeling the Spring Collections but today I have something that I would wear all year around and it is purple!

Dior Spring Collection hit the counters in Germany around a week ago. After playing with the products briefly, I fell in love with both of the Diorshow Fusion Monos. I like the formula since they are released in Fall 2013. I think they usually have better color pay-off than most of Chanel Illusion D'Ombres. Today I would like to share my thoughts about Diorshow Fusion Mono #871 Olympe, a wearable purple with multi colored super pretty shimmer. I also try to formulate what I feel about  Dior Cheek & Lip Glow Instant Blushing Rosy Tint after using it for a few weeks.

I hope you all had a good start in the week. My first day was psychologically as tiring as a whole week so I am ready for the weekend to come!

To conclude my Dior Spring 2015 Kingdom of Colors Reviews, today I have four lovely nail colors for you. At the end of the post, I will also sum up my thoughts about the collection. This year everything went really quick, I can't believe I am almost done with most of the Spring Collection reviews. I will try to add an overview page as soon as my work load allows.

Here is a tower of Dior Vernis #294 Lady, #244 Majesty, #660 Glory and Eclosion Top Coat. I had to fight the lack of sunshine during the weekend so I had to improvise with where to take the photos.  Nevertheless I hope you find them helpful.

After the rather unpleasant start in the week, I am holding on to the belief that it can only get better. I hope your week is going much better than mine. Today I have something to make every girl feel instantly better... Glitter!

Today I have Sparkle Eye Shadow #31 Golden Peach, a new shade for the existing Sparkle Eye Shadow line and a new shade of Natural Brow Shaper in Slate for you.

Guerlain Écrin 4 Couleurs #504 Les Précieux Review, Swatch & FOTD, for Les Tendres Spring 2015 Collection

Whenever Guerlain releases a new quad, I go crazy over it. I love the heavy metal packaging and their very finely milled long lasting formula. Most of the time this combination comes with interesting and flattering shade combinations. All of the three quads they have released with Kiss Kiss Fall Collection were superb. There were mattes and shimmers combined in best ways, and I fell especially in love with Les Violines.

Talking about Spring, Guerlain happened to release my favorite quads with 2013 and 2014 Spring Collections, just to name a few, #503 Les Tendres, #502 Coup de Foudre and #501 Attrape-Coeur. Looking at the trend here, 501, 502 and 503, I had to add Guerlain Écrin 4 Couleurs #504 Les Précieux to my stash, and see if it would knock me off my feet as much as the other three did...

Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation #03 Fawn, Review &Swatches

Are you ready for the weekend? Unfortunately I have to get something done so my weekend won't be a real one, yet I am glad to be able to sleep longer. I am setting my hopes high for the next weekend!

My love for Tom Ford Beauty line grow despite my limited access to a counter. Usually when I don't have the opportunity to play with the products over and over again, I fall out of love but Tom and me, it went the other way around. The more I missed him, the stronger my love grew. Each time I visited Berlin, I found myself glued to the counter touching the... products!

During my last visit I was determined to find the right shade of foundation for my complexion. I was expecting to get my hands a little dirty but this visit turned out be more than that! As I couldn't grasp the high tech behind a twist open pump and ended up splashing a good dose of foundation on one of my favorite cashmere sweaters, I thought, Tom, you are nasty!

Long story short me and my sweater were both matched with #03 Fawn of Tom Ford's latest  Traceless Perfecting Foundation which I am testing for the last couple of weeks. Today I would like to share my thoughts with you. And in case you wonder, a touch of stain remover worked wonders and I could save my sweater.

I hope you are all having a great weekend. I am very close to a deadline. Probably I won't be able to post for a few days but before that I thought I will show you a few new pretties which I enjoyed during last week. Clarins launched Ombre Matte Cream-to-Powder Eyeshadows together with a lovely natural cool toned quad I have reviewed for Fall 2014. Lately they have released a new shade to their latest blush line, Blush Prodige #08 Sweet Rose for their Spring 2015 look. Today I have the blush and two of the Ombre Mattes to share with you.

I hope you are all having a great week. I have started it a bit tough and had an important appointment yesterday. I was hoping that things would calm down after that but I was wrong. It turned out that I have another important appointment in a month and I have to get prepared! Not to mention that I have a deadline in a week. Oh have I forgotten, I am also going to give a lecture to a class of girls because I am an avid girls in technique promoter and that is in four weeks too. I wish I could clone myself and have a make-up twin who only concentrates on pretty things in life, can you relate?

Although February might not be the most active month for Color Me Loud, I have lots of pretties lined-up, waiting to meet you. So stay tuned!

My favorite piece from Guerlain's Spring Collection is definitely Météorites Perles de Blush (reviewed here).Each time I wear it and post a photo, I am asked which blush it is since it looks so natural. It does and even better, it stay put all day long! I have heard that some are turned off by the cardboard packaging. I personally like it, it is not designed to travel with but it is light weight and looks so cute.

I have acquired a few pressed Meteorites recently and haven't used them all that much so the new Météorites Compacts were not must-have for me. But blogger duties called and I ordered one just for experimental reasons. Today I would like to share my thoughts about how this one compares to the previous releases.

Today I have a few MAC Toledo Collection items to share with you. The collection went online today in the states and will hit the store on the 5th of February, next week. There are three ombre blushes in the collection for those of you who missed on Proenza Schouler Collection last year. One of them is Ripe Peach, a shade which was originally came out in 2010 for Spring I believe, you can see the photos of the first release here. Afterwards like many other discontinued MAC products it became very hard to find and was sold for collector prices at auctions. It might be the bad news if you have already paid high $$$ to get it but for all of us others, yay, Ripe Peach is back!

Yay for a real weekend for me! Last weekend I had to work and get stressed. This weekend I am planning to take it easy. I hope you all had a great start in the weekend. It is snowing here in Stuttgart at the moment. When I was driving home from work, it started to snow so heavy, I couldn't walk a few meters from the garage to the door, one of the neighbors who was passing by picked me up with a big umbrella, lol. They say it will snow consistently throughout the weekend. I might go out for a snow man if it does.

If you are in the states you might have noticed a new lip product from Laura Mercier, liquid lipsticks called Paint Wash Lip Color. They are available in nine colors, today I have two of them for you, Fuchsia Mauve and Rosewood.

Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow Palette, Review, Swatch & FOTD

Nars Dual-Intensity Eye Shadows were one of the products that caused lots of buzz in 2014. These arrived to Europe quiet late. I have ordered then a few sight-unseen. As expected I went for the purples and plums, Desdemona, Phoebe and Callisto. I have reviewed two of them here. For a single eye shadow which comes rather expensive, I was not very convinced of the highly frosty/metallic finish. As a single I wouldn't use it. I ended up buying no more colors and the ones I have gotten moved unloved to the bottom of my drawer. 

After I have seen that eight shades are being released in an eye shadow palette I considered to give it all a second go. I was lucky that none of the singles I have were in the palette as well, another thing which convinced me to pull the trigger. 

Is it love? Is it like? Me and metallics how do we get along?

I hope you are having a great weekend. Mine was too short, as always ;-)

Korean skin care and cosmetics are well renoved and lately trends are slowly being embraced by some of the Western brands as well. I was chatting with Linda from Silverkis and she was telling me about her excitement of BB Cushions. Having not tried any of them, I was very curious. She generously gifted me a Laneige BB Cushion Foundation after that. I have been testing it since early December and each time I mentioned it on Instagram, I could feel the excitement of everyone else there. Today I would like to share my thoughts with you.

Years ago I have fallen in love with YSL Nail Polish formula. To me it is one of the safe formulas out there which I can count on. It almost never disappoints in terms of brush strokes or opaqueness. I try to collect the limited edition nail polishes. I have gone through a lot trying to find some very limited edition shades such as The Spices Collection last year. But then I look at the last number I have, the leather effect nail polishes (#52, #53), and two of them which are launched this spring, I can't help by wonder, what happened to #54, #55, #56 and #57. Any insight would be appreciated ;-)

Back to where we start shall we? YSL's Spring Collection has two new limited shades for the nails, #58 Nuit Blanche and #59 Nuit Noire. Looks intriguing in the bottle? Let's have a closer look...
