Dior Amber Diamond Powder Shimmer: Swatches, Photos & Review

Dior Amber Diamond is one of those cult favorite product's. It's one of those products that everyone talks so much about that many often wonder if it's worth the hype. I think most people are hesitant about purchasing this because of its high price tag. Dior Amber Diamond doesn't come cheap at $44 USD for .35 oz. You do get a lot of product which so that helps a bit. Amber Diamond has 5 separate colors that are described as Ivory, Champagne, Tan, Bronze, and Peach. Sephora describes it as, "These five micro-shimmering tones set off sparks of brilliance, highlighting your complexion. The ultra-fine, super-blendable formula virtually fuses with your skin for a sheer, radiant luminosity."

Dior Amber Diamond

So here's my story with Amber Diamond. I bought it, returned it, and then bought it again. I just wasn't 100% sure if I would get use out of it. To be quite honest I'm really still not 100% sure. I think its a beautiful highlighter and very versatile because you can wear the colors alone as a highlighter, bronzer, or even eye shadow. I haven't tried it as an eye shadow yet but would probably really like it for summer. I do find that the color is more of a summery/early fall highlighter for me than all year round. I think that's because I'm pretty fair skin. If you are medium skin and darker I say 100% go for it. If you are lighter skinned I would test it out in the store. It's not for everybody. They have the more pink rose diamond that I think would work better for super pale skin.

Ingredients List

Dior Amber Diamond is a nice fine shimmer without being glittery. It looks amazing in the light and helps to just give your skin a beautiful glow. I would not use this all over your face though but just as a highlighter instead. Using this all over your face would probably be a little too much for most people. 

Beautiful Packaging

The packaging is really beautiful and super high end. You do get what you pay for in that department. It comes in a velvet pouch and has the Dior embossing. I just take off all of my velvet pouches and store them away. I really don't use them but they are a nice touch. This is also a nice sized mirror which is always a plus to have.

The texture of this super creamy, smooth and buttery. It applies amazing on the skin and is not at all powdery. I would use a fluffier blush for this or a stippling type brush so that I wouldn't apply the product as densely. That just works best for me. Also a little bit goes a long way with this which helps justify the price even more.

A few months back there was a rumor going around that this was going to be discontinued  I still see Sephora selling it online and in stores so I'm going to guess that was only a rumor. I would not pay the full price for this but if you can get it at 20% off I say pick it up. I think most people will really enjoy this highlighter a lot. Have you tried out Amber Diamond? What are your thoughts? Do you think it's worth the hype?
