At Last a Dior Counter to Call My Own...

I have found my Dior home counter and it is a lovely thing, however the location is all kinds of skeeve..
The Macy's at Tyrone Square. 
The levels of wrong in that sentence... two of my least favorite places are the home of the best Dior counter ever! 
So I went to play with B. (a Dior make-up artist) on sat. and also to meet her "boss" R. who is awesome! I brought some of my Sleek palettes to show B. and let's just say R. about lost his mind over the gloriousness of the Circus palette. 
I sort of went in looking a bit like a French cancan dancer and B. created an amazing face that went with how I looked perfectly. She used colors I already had to show me different ways to use them.  I loved the lip she created or the couture lip as she called it. B. said every woman needs a lip color that no on else has...She layered Evening Rose (it's a glittering tube of cranberry yumminess in real life) over a coral but keeping with my "rules" of 2011 I said let me go home and see if this gloss over Lancome's Chris & Tell creates the same effect...(it does but I sorta of want the Dior Andalouse  anyways(fail))
She also used the Sculpting Powder in 040 Golden Carmel as my blush and was very patient with me as I tried to grasp the concept of flipping the brush depending on what cheek I am doing. I have been meaning to buy this for some time as C. likes to swirl all the colors together for a bronzey blush while B. likes to maintain three stripes on the brush for a more sculpted look. I see myself using it both ways...
Yes, it is a lipstick, but no it doesn't count, as it was a tester given to me by R., because they are being discontinued and reformulated, and he is not sure if Pink Empress will return!!! LOL
While B. and I were playing R. was doing the make-up on this lady whose husband was throwing her a Mad Men 50th birthday party...from her hair,to her vintage dress, to her jewelery, to her awesome make-up set off by Pink Empress she looked lovely! I was like I must try that color and it was the pink perfection that I just adore..


A lovely Dior spree...
