Ms. Ruby arrived today. I love love love all of the colors. They are absolutely gorgeous.
Macys sent it in one of their fat bubble envelopes. I was apprehensive as I opened the Dior box hoping it would be ok. I had ordered my husband a pair of cuff links. I had just opened the little box & as I was lifting the jewelry box out it was broken. The cuff links were not damaged but I really didn't care. I was worried about my palette. Thank goodness it was perfectly fine.
I'll clarify why I said it arrived today (Thursday) as it's 3:15AM here, technically Friday. My sister & I have a rule that if you haven't gone to bed yet it's still the same day. More than 15yrs ago we were in Vegas & I called my husband at 5AM to say goodnight just for fun because he is so not a night person. A wee bit shocked he was like it's 7:00 o'clock (central time)---in the morning! I'm on my way to the office & y'all are still up? I said Oh yeah it's tomorrow for you so goodnight/morning.
I know it's silly. She & I meet in Vegas once a year for sister time. I call him like that at least once each time. Not quite the same as the first time. Now he would be surprised if we weren't up all night. We don't go to the bars or such, haven't done that in over 30 years. After shopping & eating we play some slots, people watch, but mainly just sister talk. Usually we are back in our room 2-3 hours before we go to bed. I guess we're getting old.
Anyhow, I think Ruby is one of the best palettes Dior has had in quite some time, at least for me.
Mine arrived this past Tuesday, and I adore it! I would be in big trouble if all the Dior quints were this lovely. I also love the looks I’ve seen using the emerald quint, but so much green would wash out my eyes too much. I can do green accents, blackened teals, or earthy more bronze greens, but this would be too much.
As far as the highlighter, I’m just really intrigued by the slight pink from AWS’s swatch. My Glowing Gardens in nude is not pink at all.
