Those nail polishes are from old collections. Except Trafalgar, none had the number / name printed on the front. They're from the reward program. I also know 3/4 of these (except Trafalgar) are sold at specific Dior boutiques (NY, London, Saint Tropez respectivelly). Does it mean they reformulated these four colours in gel form and are sold there as well?

That's a good question. I have Trafalgar and St Tropez.

I looked at the e/s palette but couldn't imagine how I'd wear those colors

Does anyone have the new LE Five Colors? I like the colors but am wondering about the quality as some of the five color palettes are dry and powdery.

Have you tried the LE 5 color es palette? Has anyone? I love the colors but have found some of the Dior palettes don't have good color payoff and Linda said they were a bit sheer.

I am now officially pissed. Went to order the two tie dye lipsticks not sold in the States, at Selfridges, as in the Cosmic Pink and the Plum whatever. At checkout was told they would not ship to the States. I called and asked why is it I can purchase other lipsticks and not these? Was told these may only be shipped in the UK region. Bite me comes to mind. So I decided to pass on the Bleached turquoise mascara, and the Platine eye kohl pencil. Chanel has a liquid liner in Platine, that I already own, and it looks like the mascara is just a teal. Since I own the TF and Gucci teal mascara, I can live without all of it. Don't get why companies do this $hit, sell it everywhere, it will make your firm more money. Now going to bed, as I pout.

I draw the line at region. Like yeah, sometimes some stuff is sold at one region and other stuff is sold at another region. I get that. Different regions, different markets (although Dior Snow interests me a lot). Regardless, Dior (in that regard) has never really failed.

Now within region there being discrepancies pisses me off. That's the reason why I don't buy Chanel anymore. Last two years, they didn't bring their Holiday collection over here, even though the next country over had it (and we're in the same region). I wanted Malice polish so bad, but no. Well **** them then.

I know how irritating that is. And it's not up to the store or the company, it may be up to the trade rules that the different countries make. Trade rules go both ways. They do keep some things out but they also product us from ingredients that may be harmful or products that may be contaminated (like food and medicine.) Or it may be that the deal between US Dior and UK Dior. Each is actually a different company within the bigger company and they have separate reporting of their bottom lines to their bosses and stockholders.

It's funny because one of the eye palettes was released in Asia, and I was writing folks over there to get it. But now that it's here, I am not sure I even want it because it hasn't been well reviewed and I am concerned it may be dry and powdery.

I asked Selfridges how would Dior know if they sent it to me. Well, Miss we are just not allowed to do such a thing was what I was told. I asked them to live on the wild side and just f***ing send it to me, live on the edge. Guess they don't get American humor.....

Oh no, I can purchase the colors sold in States, I put those in my basket, and no red flags went up. I then tossed in the banned lipstick colors, and those got kicked. I have purchased lipsticks from Selfridges before. It is nail polish, perfume that can't be sent. Which cracks me up. HTF does NM, Saks, whomever get these products over here to sell???? Ah duh, doubt they come by boat, and doubt there has been a bridge built to cross the Atlantic. No wait, they drive across Russia and China, then to the outer islands of Alaska, bring through Canada to the States. I might be blonde, but I solved the mystery. Yes, I am a true blonde, the carpet matches the drapes....but I figured this out!!!!! Plus the lipgloss Tiara not sold here, I can purchase from Selfridges, along with Forbidden Pink from TF. Since those were in my cart too, and went through.

LOL! Where there's a will, there's a way, my Dad used to say. And blonde or not, obviously there's a will. Share pictures when you get them.

The trick is to have friends everywhere, so they can ship it to you. I am more than pi$$ed about items sold in France, but they cannot be sent to Belgium. As if they have never heard of Shengen... So now I just drive an hour, but mmly stuff, and drive an hour back home. Still need a "friend" to whom I can have website-exclusive items (from whatever brand) shipped, and then drive there and pick it up.

Sorry but why not shipping to Belgium ? You mean the collections are not carried there ? I reside in France and I can send some items but I do not have PayPal . ( dont intend to ). I do not know if you have the option " contre remboursement " in Belgium, ?

I played today, and used the chocolate quad that has no brown, but fun spring colors. If you use the turquoise, then top with the peachy pink turns into a lovely lilac shade. Then used the new MAC Bo Beep or whatever it is called for the liner on top and Phlox on the waterline. Used Dior super black mascara, then went over it with Chanel aqua mascara from summer 2013. It actually looked cool, not like a clown. I am loving the Dior Nude Air foundation with the loose powder. It blurs all the yuck away and feels weightless. I use the Artis #8 oval brush to smear on my face. It makes it flawless.

I really like the tie & dye blush Pink Sunset but I haven't buy it. I just got to know that my Dior studio will have having my lady blush 006 to mark it's 1 year anniversary. I haven't seen my lady blush in person yet so I can't tell. If I can only pick either 1 which is better?

I do not have the Lady blush but I would say the Dior summer ones are pigmented and soft at the same time ( I have 6 of them now , 2013, 2014 and 2015 ). Best applied with a Kabuki brush whereas the Lady blushes come with a regular brush , in fact those summer blushes are illluminating ones ( the 2014 ones are really illluminating ). I would say pick up both .
