Dior New Nude Collection Nails - Charnelle, Grege and Trench swatches!

The Dior Fall 2012 New Nude Collection was surprisingly full of nude colours that are all ladylike and demure and stuff. I'm not a big fan of nude lips but I do see the upside to nude nails - it's much harder to tell when you're walking around with a chipped manicure!

Dior The New Nude Collection for Fall 2012

Dior wants to get you Nude (and glowing) for fall - with a look that is perfectly natural, smooth and subtle. A fresh complexion stippled with light, softly smoky eyes and ultra natural lips and tips - never have I been so eager to get Nude!

As extra incentive to pick up Natalie's special shade of Rouge Dior Nude - Grege - all proceeds from its sale will go to Free The Children - for which Natalie is an ambassador - to support a study grant fund for the secondary education of girls in Kenya.

Diorskin Nude Fluid - 30ml - $48 - a liquid foundation that creates a "bare skin" effect for a more radiant complexion with a formula that boosts the skin's beauty and radiance. Featuring translucent pigments, as opposed to opaque white pigments found in other foundation products to let the skin's natural colour shine through; a binding agent that's soft to the touch and offers maximum hydration throughout the day; and a beneficial water that combines the virtues of mineralized water with a new floral water to offer hydration, glow, elasticity and a smooth, even complexion immediately and over time.

Trending on my face for fall - products from Maybelline - Dream Fresh BB, Volum'Express Mega Plush Mascara and Colour Sensational Lipstick in Blissful Berry!

I've been starting to think about my fall makeup look - I like to study all the trends and think about what will work for me and what products I will need to achieve the look! I'm digging the flawless complexion and berry lipped look this year and I've found a few products from Maybelline to help get me there:

Of course there is no point in slapping any other makeup on your face if your skin looks like crap! BB Creams are my newfound summer love and they're going to carry me right through the fall! I have not had such an easy time finding the perfect one as many of them tend to come in a light/medium shade that is too dark for me! Lucky for me, Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in1 Beauty Balm - $10.99 - comes in 5 shades including a Light one and as an added bonus, has an SPF of 30! It blends in perfectly, makes my skin look fresh and smooth and it's oil free so doesn't feel the least bit greasy!

Mascara is always important but I don't want anything too crazy that will compete with the lip which requires something that will lengthen and thicken without looking clumpy or spidery - so I'm thinking: Maybelline Volum'Express Mega Plush - $8.99.

Fall is all about the berry lip this year! I know we are seeing a lot of very deep berries but I would just worry all the time about the colour migrating to my face a lips so I'm going with a lighter and brighter one:

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Blissful Berry - $9.99 - part of their new collection which also includes: Deepest Cherry, magnificent mauve, mauve It Up and Mauve Mania - where I'm sure you will find the perfect berry for you too!
