Smartologie has published all the information about the Fall Collection. This may be my favorite fall collection for now.

Oh wow!!!!!! That plum palette... so beautiful! And are those cream shadows? Etoile and Millennium look very interesting.

How much for the necklace/ collar that the model is wearing in the publicity photos? That's what I really want to know...

I bought this bronzer and blush set, the lighter one as my skin is light! I went to a Dior makeup session and the MUA convinced me to purchase this. He didn't let me see the finished look or how he was doing my makeup so it was only when I reached the car that I realised I was ORANGE! I was quite annoyed as I had purchased the very expensive bronzer/blush and I thought it might not have been a good idea!
Thankfully it's a lovely set and I can make it work. He said the bronzer part was really a setting powder to put over the BB cream which I have. I bought it because of that, I could use it to powder and reapply blush when I needed. Unfortunately I can't use it that way as I'm too white but I can use it as a bronzer and blush and it's actually great for travel! The mini kabuki is actually really nice and better for this bronzer/blush than the larger kabuki I usually use. With the large kabuki it's hard to pick bronzer only without blush (or viceversa).
So in the end I made it work and it's lovely for travelling and taking around. Not that it's small, but as they are together and it comes with a mini kabuki I can just take that.
Thanks for sharing that. Thats a shame he didn't let you see it. I agree with what you said, I mostly stay on the color side. I did swirl the kabuki brush in the lighter 001 shade (very nice) into the color & very very lightly dabbed it onto the bronzer side & it actually looked pretty. I could never use the bronzer much more than that. I may try it on my eyelids to see how it looks as a natural es.

Just for fun here is the makeup look the Dior Makeup Artist gave me. It doesn't look too bad if you just focus on my face (first photo) but you can really see a difference compared with my neck! (Second photo). Excuse my tired eyes and the strange angle! He used the blush part of the duo for my heels and also brow arch and he used the bronzer part for the whole face as setting powder. I think that's what made me so orange!!

Coral 002 - 1st, Pink 001 - 2nd. coral - left, pink 001 - right
Are the bronzer part of these dark enough for NC30/35? That was my old concern with these but seeing as mac canceled my rihanna and how t said the quality of the blush was bad... I may be picking one if these up this weekend :)

Yes, it is really a gorgeous collection!

I wonder if the Dior Addict "Gris Gris" is actually grey....that would be awesome!

Also, I am excited for the Silver Glow 3 Couleurs palette.

Well, from the promo pic it looks more greyish beige? I really do want it to be grey though. That'd be a great novelty product. :D

I don't know if I can answer that very well, so I took a pic of a heavy swatch from the darkest part of the bronze side. But the Coral blush side would look amazing on you! Love your new pics - you're so beautiful! Love the glasses too.

Thank you soooo much for doing that! I'm going to definitely pick it up! I read T's review and she said the coral one had a slightly darker bronzer! And thank you! No more generic photo here :)

I think Dior's Fall collection is going to be my favorite collection this year, I should start saving! :->
I hope the creme eye shadows are permanent and I need both of those gorgeous palettes!

The bronzer part of 002 is darker ( I purchased 002 today and I have both blushes ). The coral one is gorgeous, I am NW 20 but I think it will suit you too.

Today I purchased the coral one, just beautiful ( 20 % off at Sephora, it helped lol ), thank you for letting me splurge for the 002 Elegant, both blushes are equally great !
