Dior released the video of their fall/winter 2020-2021 haute couture collection on July 6, 2020. The video, which can be seen on YouTube here, popped up on my YouTube recommendations the day before it premiered. When July 6, 2020 arrived, I sat down, watched it, and loved so many of the designs from the collection. I had a hard time picking out dresses I liked from Dior since Maria Grazia Chiuri took over as head designer. Although there are many designs I liked, I also felt like it wasn’t something I could wear with normal curves to my body. It was frustrating to see a fashion house I loved growing up but now as an adult can’t wear. But the 2020-2021 collection was an exception.

There are many dresses I would love to own, if I was going somewhere I needed to wear a formal dress, as well as an 1890’s style dress that makes my Steampunk side excited to see as “fashionable” in 2020. Because there are so many dresses I love, I wanted to feature my favorite dresses in this collection.

Including my skin needing more moisturizer. I knew my skin would eventually need more moisturizers that I usually use, but I didn’t know how badly it would effect my face skin!

After raiding my samples from Sephora and Macy’s, I found a sample tube of Dior Capture Youth Age-Delay Advanced Creme. Ever since my infection, I need to be careful what kinds of skincare products I can put on my face and skin in general. For the most part, I cannot put skin care products that are not hypoallergenic. After doing some research, I discovered that this cream is advertised as hypoallergenic and would work for my skin. So I gave it a try.

After using it for almost a week, I decided to buy the full sized version of the creme. I ultimately purchased the 2019 gift set that included the full sized version of the creme, two serums to use with the creme, and a pouch. After using the full sized version of the creme, without the serums, I learned a few things about the creme that I wanted to share.
