Dior Lip Gloss Locket

Every half a year, I expect and anticipate what new pretty that Dior manages to come up with -the new pretty, being the beauty accessories. Since our blog started, Dior has come up with the cosmetic rings from the Dior Summer Princess range and the Dior Gormette (cosmetic braclet). Anyways, so I thought I would do an update of Dior's cute but unpractical beauty accessories.

In spring/summer, there was Dior Mail, a palette consisting of a bronzer and lip gloss. Hm, ok, I suppose this is more of a packaging thing than an accessory. But I still don't think it's a useful beauty product for people to actually buy.
Moving on to now, Dior just launched a charm lip gloss locket. According to its description on Neimanmarcus.com, you can wear it as a braclet or attach it to your handbag. Considering lip gloss goes sort of yucky with heat, you probably shouldn't wear it as a braclet. The only thing I can say about makeup that is packaged in a cute way, is that they remind me of the disgusting makeup that kids play with, and the makeup inside just automatically feels cheap to me.

  1. I agree about the charm lip gloss locket. my daughter got a strawberry shortcake "keychain" from McDonald's where you pivot her hat and get the lipgloss. this reminds me exactly of that, except this is a tacky bracelet instead of cute kid's toy.

  2. i really like packaging on the dior mail one, but the mix of bronzer and red lip gloss is just not good. they should've really used a neutral color for the gloss.

    the charm lip gloss locket reminds me of the pretend cell phone i used to have when i was in like 5th grade, which had lip gloss in it as well. i think the bracelet is pretty, but melted, sticky lip gloss is just gross.

  3. i had a polly pocket bracelet that looked exactly like the dior one, complete with lip gloss and all, except the polly pocket bracelet was green and didn't have all the beads dangling around it. even the colours (what i can see of them) look similar to me.

  4. agreed.

    when i first saw the dior mail palette in a neiman marcus catalogue i was like how cute, but on second thought, it's not particularly functional. and the bracelet i don't think looks bad, but the lip gloss is superfluous. i can just see ppl trying to put lipgloss on and getting it all over the bracelet.

  5. i agree.. i've always thought those look very "spoiled pre-teen" to me, especially the ones that try to pass off as jewelry! i do really like the dior "detective chic" palette packaging though, with the cute leather wallet look. that's about as gimmicky as i'll get!

  6. I kind of like the bracelet on it's own but the whole idea of having cosmetics integral to your accessories is, as people have already said, kind of child-like & strange. Do a bracelet or do cosmetics but not both.

  9. I got the dior mail compact case. Its not practical but its very cute and the bronzer color looks very good on me. I don't take it anywhere b/c of the weight, but I do like the color.
    The lipgloss is very sheer, so its okay but I don't love it.

  10. I actually have the dior pretty charms bracelet thing...but i dont think i'd use it as a bracelet...a bag charm, maybe...as far as melting goes though, the gloss isnt really the melty sort, and the case is insulation enough anyway. I think its pretty though! guess i just have a little girl in me hur

  14. is this company known for making really tacky items? Because from this post it seems like it.

    Also, Anonymous, do you work for them or something? I don't imagine why you'd get so upset otherwise.

  16. Always is important to keep the skin and most of all the lip neat and smoooth not only for the women but for men too. I think nobody must to neglect the neat in all the body. That is why i was interested in this blog, is really interesting and helpful. Actually i was looking houses because i am interested too, and i found costa rica homes for sale i think is wonderful.
