Dior Electric Tropics

Anyone who has spent time with me recently knows that my favorite trend this spring is orange lipstick. Orange is such a fun color to wear - bright, versatile, and just plain fun. I like wearing it as a stain by tapping it into my lips or more boldly by applying it directly from the tube. It really does wonders to brighten the gloomy days we've been experiencing here in the Pacific Northwest.

This brings me to Dior's new collection, Electric Tropics. It has one of the most beautiful shades of orange lipsticks I have seen in quite a while - bright yet soft, full color yet glossy. Anyone can rock this color! There is even a beautiful orange nail color to match. The rest of the collection is full of beautiful neutrals, the perfect compliment to the dazzling lipstick.

Check out the collection here or visit your local Sephora or Nordstrom to play with it in person; you won't be sorry!!
