You Can Skip This One

One product that really isn't worth the splurge

Hello, Gorgeous!

There are some brands I rave about all the time. Dior is one of those brands. Even the whisper of a Dior lip gloss or highlighter is enough for me to want to add that sucker to my shopping cart. And that’s what happened with the new Diorshow Flash Stick.

Diorshow Flash Stick disappointed me

First off, it’s stunning, and the texture is whisper-soft with just the right amount of dazzle. I bought Celestial Star which is a holographic shade of white with the tiniest amounts of pinkish shimmer. Does anyone remember the Madeline Mono white highlighters that were huge in the ‘90s? They came in odd angular compacts, and each contained about five different shimmery variations. The Flash Stick is a lot like that, only a shadow stick. A shadow stick that cost $42 and fell out of the container the second time that I used it. Yes, I tried to stuff it back in. Yes, it fell out again the next time. Yes, I tried using it again today before I started writing this. No. I won’t try it again because it’s now destroyed completely.

I rarely feature products I don’t like (what’s the point?) But I love this one! It’s the packaging that needs a major overhaul. If you’re still curious enough to try it, have at it: $42, dior.com.

Have you tried this one or a similar shadow stick that disappointed you? Let’s meet in the comments to discuss!
