From what I'm aware, the old 155 Tutu was reborn in 155 Tra-la-la in the new gel formula. That Rose Tutu looks much darker in a packshot as well.

I'm so screwed with the fall collection.

Here is the Fall collection ( preview ),:eyelove:  Chic Profile provides such gorgeous pictures ! http://chicprofile.com/2014/07/dior-fall-winter-2014-makeup-collection-first-look.html#more-92734 SOURCE / CHIC PROFILE

Trafalgar quint for me!

Is Tutu a repromote ( reformulated gel formula ) ? Here is Tutu from the 2013 spring collection Cherie Bow.

I thought I recognized that name Dominique---I have it too. Yes! I think Rosie Bow came out at the same time ??

I want the pink lippie in the middle

The lighter blush looks very versatile and soft.

If I didn't have eye allergies, I'd be all over 796.

Rose Tutu NP looks pretty, but my Dior gels peel off my nails so no more for me.

Oh I must resist the blushes. Actually the deeper peach blush reminds me of Coral Cruise. I think they will be a skip for me.
I picked up Tout Paris, a gorgeous red that's currently a Nordstrom exclusive. Like I need another red lippie.

Trafalgar quint for me!

That's a pretty quint! This is very odd but I just happen to like the word Trafalgar---call me nuts but I do. I purchased both the Dior NP & lipstick in Trafalgar.

 

[Medgal07]

I am in trouble, I need 6 of them

A beautiful palette, Meddy. The collection is pretty on the whole but those new es palettes are gorgeous !

OMG Dominique

six of them? Well heck why stop at 6

​I'm enjoying palettes now because they're coming in color configurations & combinations that I would
never in a million years thought would go together-----and I just love that.

Hi everyone,

I thought I just drop by and tell about my first impressions from the new Dior Palette Carre Bleu, before you pick up many palettes sight unseen.
I have only tried Carre Bleu on and swatched Bar, I will try out Bar tomorrow and edit this if needed.

I don't see what is new other than a new compact which is sleeker and CD Logo which flashed on the cover is not there anymore (which is a pity, I really liked it)
I like that it is a bit sleeker. The new compacts contain also 6 g of products and I compared the ingredients with the current ones, they are almost the same.

The quality? I can't tell the difference from the current quints. That being said, I already like the current formula of Dior, so no issues there. I must mention though, there are still a few shades which are not true to pan, like a blue which is too sheer once swatched. Bar also has a pink shade which doesn't swatch pink but like an off-white but in the pan it looks
quiet pink.

Carre Bleu is unfortunately a bit of a let down so far. The darkest shade is very sheer and hard to get pigment even with a denser crease brush like the blender brush from Tom Ford.
The blues are also very close so two of the shades appear the same on my lids. I think so far I prefer Chanel Tisse Riviera much more.

I just wanted to let you know, before you order many of them online. It seems the quality is not consistent across the range so these should really be bought after trying out in person.

Thanks a million for sharing your thoughts, Sara

I have (had???) 5 Quints on my list but now I am not sure anymore whether I will get any at all.

Can' t wait.....I loveeeeeee your reviews

 

[sarabeautime]

Can' t wait.....I loveeeeeee your reviews

Aww!

 

[MACina]

I think each of them have to be tried individually. I can only talk about two of them I managed to lay my hands on.
So don't let go off your wishlist just now, just make sure you are informed before ordering. I know in Germany we can't return the things so easily, so just a heads-up.

Thank you so much again, Sara

I am very glad that you have Carre Bleu and Bar because those 2 are on my list and your reviews will definitely
help me to make a final decision on them.

Yes Meddy, it was part of the spring collection Chérie Bow.

Thank you very much Sara for your exhaustive review , well I think I will purchase 6, I agree some es are sheer, difficult to play with for some of them ( Swimming-Pool ! ) but I love the Dior quints, one of my weaknesses lol .

Oh I must resist the blushes. Actually the deeper peach blush reminds me of Coral Cruise. I think they will be a skip for me.
I picked up Tout Paris, a gorgeous red that's currently a Nordstrom exclusive. Like I need another red lippie.

Yay- the name Tout Paris is adorable! I think I will end up skipping both blushes. I am very close to backing up the Cannage/My Lady blush in Coral on Saks...it re-appeared weeks ago and has been calling my name since. I used it today and it's so effortless and the kabuki brush works well. There's a tonne of product, 10 g but I never want to run out it's too beautiful. I love how the pattern doesn't just disappear after a few uses.

 

[Dominique33]

Shipping is ok, free after $50 is spent...I have been trying to place a phone order for the last 1.5 hours!! I've called my bank twice, there was a block on Macy's, then I tried again once it was lifted...failed..called the bank back- they said they are declining it due to a Security code issue or there could be an issue with their (Macy's) system undergoing maintenance. Now third time on the phone for 45 minutes and it's still not working but the chap is trying very hard! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Nordstrom was so easy. I'll let you know the outcome.

Hmm, I thought the name Tutu was familiar, now I know why! The shade pictured on chicprofile looks very different to me though, the Cherie Bow Tutu looks like a pastel soft pink whereas this one looks a bit like a dark rosey pink. We'll find out soon no doubt!

Yes Tutu is a very pastel one, Dior created Rose Tutu then, well it sounds good as well

An hour and a half?! Now forty-five minutes?! That's awful. I usually buy stuff under $50 so that's why I never used Macy's and Sephora much. I love Nordies for the free shipping (and now Saks is doing it- maybe the surveys paid off lol) but now...
