Dior Rose Diamond Skin Shimmer For Perfectly Pink Flushed Cheeks

Date: Friday, November 28th, 2008 Author:

Dior Rose Diamond Skin Shimmer ($42.00) is just as lovely and pretty as my eternal favorite Amber Diamond. Surprisingly enough, it has a good amount of pigmentation to give me not just shimmer, but a light rosy flush on my cheeks. I alternate between using the 188 or the 129 brush to apply the Skin Shimmers, depending on the intensity of what I want. I definitely see myself using this as an easy go-to blush for days when I’m pressed for time or prefer a very minimalistic look. The shimmer is subtle and sophisticated–no chunky glitter bits here.

See a full face photo with this as a blush!

(I wore this look yesterday, I hope to post it later this week!  Yes, that’s All Mine lipstick, too!)

    I bought this about a month ago and just love it!!! I wear it everyday – either by itself or layered with a blush. I know it’s kinda pricey, but it’s totally worth it!

    Beautiful! But if you must choose, would you rather have amber or rose shimmer?

    Aaaah, so pretty. :)

    I see this looks good on!

    I bought the Amber diamond as per your recommendation and used but It doesn’t give me color
    except for shimmer for an NW43. I hear they had a limited edition Copper I think.

    I actually prefer Guerlain, the Terracotta, they had 3 versions last year but I got African Rhythm, it gives me color/shimmer

    Any thoughts?

      Hey Love!

      It doesn’t give me too much color, but the shimmer and slight bit of color it gives really warms up my cheeks (I’m NC30). I haven’t played with the Terracotta, so I can’t give you any insight, but I will check them out soon!

    I just bought this today!! I haven’t been able to find it anywhere, but there it was in Sephora today :-D I was sooooo happy to finally find it! Thanks for all of your great recommendations!

  7. Lynn says:

  8. abby says:

    Thats another great look on you. You have endless gorgeous looks. I love that shimmer too. After i saw the amber one on you i went next day to get one, and the lady at the counter recommended the rose one for me. I agree with you, it does give you a little bit of colour and shimmer. I love it!! :)

    Awe, you have such a beautiful smile- I almost forgot what I was suppose to be looking at- oh yeah- Dior Skin Shimmer in Rose…very pretty…but you make it look so good.

  10. Very pretty look! I think I need to pick this up.

    It’s beautiful! I was thinking to get the other colour variation yesterday but then I tried it today and found out it would work better for me. I still haven’t bought it, though (54 bucks in my country and need to save for Christmas presents). But now I realised I have to get it anyway as I could use it as a blush as well. Previously I though it could only work as a highlighter or eyeshadow. Thank you, Christine for your advices – you look perfect with this ‘minimalist’ make-up!

    I really like this on you! It’s not too bold; it’s seems like the perfect subtle blush.

    • Christine says:

      Ohh, I’m jealous! I want Copper Diamond. Let me know how you like it!

      • suheda says:

        Dear Christine,

        Copper diamond is my favorite powder when i want that bronzy glow on my face, since i have really fair skin, with dark hair colour….i am just in love with alll of my dior skin shimmers….

        try to get your hands on the copper diamond! i cant find it anymore on ebay…

        Do you have any idea if dior will come up with a new range of dior skin shimmers? I am so curious….

  14. Sheyla says:

    I would be the happiest person on earth if I could spend 40 dollars for one blush!

    • Christine says:

      Sometimes when there is a big item I want, I’ll wait until I meet a certain goal – like getting a certain grade on a test :) This way I feel like I can treat myself!

  15. MIchelle says:

    That lipstick is your HG, it’s SO PERFECT on you. Is it MAC or dior?

  16. MIchelle says:

    Also love ur sweater where did you get it?

  17. Sexy Sadie says:

    Adore it on you, christine!

  18. claudia m. says:

    I like it, very subtle, yet glow-y and a little bit of color =)

  19. CeeBee says:

    I got the Rose one first and loved it SO much I immediately went out and bought the Amber too. Got Copper Diamond last month and although it looks very similar to Amber in the pan it is different on your skin.
    I like layering these over a brighter blush, especially an intense pop of colour on the apples of my cheeks and then highlighting and diffusing with shimmer. Lasts for ages and looks luminous!

    OMG.. I just bought my first Dior. I got this (I know I”m late to this entry). I love this! It’s beautiful. Even though I’m usually into more peachy tones, this blush is perfect. (I’m Nw20)

    I bought the sunset cafe quint, 222 Casual beige High shine lippie and this blush. It was beautiful. I’m usually Mac enhanced so this was a lovely change!

    Can’t wait for the spring dior!

    • Christine says:

      YAYYYYYYY! Welcome to the club! ;)

      Better late than never! I’m so excited for you! I really, really love the skin shimmers — I hope they come out with more this year.

      • suheda says:

        Dear Christine….i love the skin shimmers too! I got three of them: rose diamond, pop diamond and copper diamond, which is also lovely for those who wants a bronzer for fair skin…
        Do you have any idea when dior will come up with new skin skimmers??
        I cant waite to buy me another colour:)

        Greetz,

    Hi!

    This shimmery powder looks amazing and i’m very tempted to try it. However, I wanted to know how it compares to the MAC MSF Degrade in Blonde. The two seem very similar. Have you tried both, and if so, which do you prefer?

    Thanks a lot :)
