Dior Cosmetics Discussion

[katred]

Unless Dior has really stepped up their game in the NP department, I would find a dupe in a brand like OPI or China Glaze. The last Dior polish I tried was a gorgeous color but it took 3 coats to build any opacity and chipped like crazy!

Good to know. There does look to be a dupe in the Opi spring collection. Although I find Opi can be inconsistent from one colour to another, their polishes are less than half the price, so I won't feel as annoyed if I don't care for it.

Are the spring quints selling out, does anyone know? I must have both, but I want to wait for a bit. I hope I don't miss out in the end.

Has anyone seen the New Look collection, which consists of 4 quints and the New Look mascara? I'm thinking of getting Grege, it looks like a good neutral palette. The quints don't look very frosty like the spring quints. My counters have received them but I haven't gone down to play with the testers yet.

Thanks for posting! I haven't seen the new quints, but they look great in those pics! There isn't one that's really calling my name, but I'll probably pick one up when I see them in person

I love that one but 734 Grège wins for me on colors and names. this will be hard to resist.

I got both the Grege and pink quints - they are really pretty despite what The Best Things in Beauty reports. Grege is what originally drew me in.

Is Grege pigmented? Are they frosty or satiny? I think the pink quint look very feminine!

Martiangurl - Yeah it will be hard for me to resist Grege too.

Do we know if the New Look quints are perm? They've arrived at Shoppers Drug Mart, I plan on getting one or two with my Optimum pts this weekend (super extra bonus redemption, for those who collect)

 

[Miss QQ]

The SA at my counter said they are perm.

I saw the New Look quads, the mascara and the heat curler. The mascara looks like the smallest from Dior ever, I want to try it very much but it's hard to get samples. The heat curler looks interesting too, I wonder if the battery is refillable? The pink quint looks like it is the most shimmery out of the 4 quints. I like it and Grege most, but I don't know if Grege is special enough for me to purchase it. I got a lovely leaflet which shows how we should use each of the four quints on either almond-shaped or round eyes. The instructions teach us to use all 5 shades in the quint, which is something rare since Dior quints aren't meant to be worn with all the 5 colours at once.

Cheryl - How does this pink quint compare to Chanel Songes and Envolee, both the Asian Le Blanc quads which I think you own?

I tried the New Look Mascara. The brush is smaller, but it is a good thing, as it allows you to get all the small, hard to get lashes. VERY good mascara.
I would say it is a thickening mascara, more that a lengthening one.

Grege is so nice on...it is rather matte, and the SA put all 5 shades on me at once...it looked smoky and so nice. I LOVE this quint.

My SA said she has not heard that they are being Discontinued...she says they are TOP sellers in the Dior makeup line.
