I swatched both today & I am SOOO happy that I got Pink Sunrise! I was surprised at how light the coral one was because it looks so vivid in the pan. It all depends on where you swipe them! I swiped the PS one at the top & it was a beautiful rosy pink shade. They are light compared to the how they look in the pan.
The coral blush, Coral Sunset is Very vivid & pigmented. I think some of the swatches here bare that out. I wish my photos were true to life because I was actually
bordering on clown cheeks.

oh my goodness... Let's talk about coral clown cheeks and how I didn't think it was so pigmented in a finger swatch so did NOT pay attention when applying it with the kabuki in my dark car

I couldn't even buff it had, had to run back in house and wash face. was very amusing.

it's a must have blush. very pretty. Love love love these blushes.

I went to Nordstrom yesterday to see if they had the collection out. They pretty much had everything out except for the pink blush and the Contraste Horizon palette because someone stole the testers on the first day. Really now, that's just pathetic. Anyway, like Elegant, I found Coral Sunset to be a lot lighter than I expected. I just swirled all the colours together to produce quite an orange blush. It wasn't coral on me at all. It's light with just one swatch, but builds up easily and can get pretty intense. I ended up getting just the pink blush sight unseen. It was the last one at the counter. I'm glad it looks like a pretty flush of colour on me. Here's how it looks on my NC10 coloring in morning window lighting. I swirled all the shades together, though I think the mauve and rose tones dominate. It kind of reminds me of Chanel's Jardin de Camelias blush.

You have just sold me on this

! Thank you! Your swatch is so gorgeous, and I am loving the Dior kabuki brushes and this silver compact packaging Dior have been producing with their powders.

I wish this would hurry up and be released here!

My local dior counter had the full collection out. The contraste horizon swatched prettily, but I can't think of looks I could do with it that would be flatting on my fair complexion and blues eyes-- so I didn't bite the bullet. Nothing really interested me. However, my local Chanel counter said they still wouldn't be getting the summer collection for another few weeks! Sigh!

There is an ebay seller who has an amazing selection, she has the Diorsnow rainbow powder and the Guerlain LE Highlighter.

It's so damn tempting but expensive.

I think someone said the rainbow powder might come to the US in Summer- I really hope so!!

I wasn't actually going to pick up anything, but I got suckered into the design of the blush. LOL!

I'm pretty lucky because my Dior and Chanel counters are right next to each other, and they both had the summer releases on display, which I was not expecting because they're kind of slow in getting their collections. Luckily for my wallet, I didn't get anything from the Chanel release.

On the Dior website is a "tutorial" on how to use the horizon palette. Not as good as the Lisa Eldridge tutorials, but better than nothing, I guess...

 

[SlugPower]

Dior has a lot of those tutorial videos. I've been collecting them since Cherie Bow (as far as I know, since they started them).

Thank you for the lovely pics & swatches! Mine arrives tomorrow!

If I were in need of yet another highlighter I would definitely go for that Guerlain highlighter---it's so pretty BUT I have some amazing highlighters, so I won't be feeding the EBay beast this time.

Yay Sis---this is going to be so pretty on you!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Really great swatch and pics!!!! Enjoy your blush!!!

The eye shadow palettes are tempting, but good thing I'm not swayed (not swayed = Sephora broke my wallet).

I almost purchased the Pink Sunrise @ Saks but I was strong! I got the pale yellow NP instead (had already purchased Sunwashed) but then totally out of left field I purchased another Guerlain bronzer.

What was I thinking

I already have 2 of them and I preordered the Tom Ford mega bronzer in Terra. Going to sit in a corner now!!

PSA for all US based peeps that wanted to buy the Diorsnow Rainbow powder: Izzy'sbeautyshoppe has it for sale as well as the 2 eyeshadow palettes and the polish that was also part of the collection. They also have the Guerlain shimmer powder that was released a few months ago in the Middle East. Needless to say, I place a rather sizeable order.

Oh Meddy, I am tempted to order from Izzysbeautyshoppe instead of ebay. That Guerlain powder is so pretty.

I'll leave it for now, only because it seems Diorsnow 2015 might be coming to Australia and I will be very happy if I can get the rainbow powder here so one order for the Guerlain isn't worth it as yet (shipping is $20 for one item to Australia - the free shipping with $100 plus purchases doesn't apply to all countries).

I have both of these already. And the price posted are just a little bit higher than what they retail for. If I remember it correctly, Dior snow rainbow costs $63 and Guerlain is $85. The shipping costa is dismal. Lol.
