Not the best swatches in the world but here you go. The eyeshadows from Nordstroms are very very sheer. 4 passes using 239 brush. NC25-NC30

The middle color is very sparkly and kinda gritty. You really have to dig the pan to get some color out. From the whole Nordstrom quint the greens/teals are ok so as the purple eyeshadow but again they are very sheer

The colors I didn't care for are the middle color and the sheer pink far left. The blush is gorgeous and worth buying. I didn't swatch it heavily as I didn't want to mess up the pattern. Very very pretty IRL.





First 2 colors are from right side of the nordstrom quint
next 2 colors from left side quint
then the middle color and below the blush

No, really they are not dry used on the face/skin & the shades are really pretty on.

I find they generally look prettier on than they do swatched. We don't have the TF blushes up here for me to compare, but Dior have become one of my favourite formulas of the ones we have available.

So I stopped by a Dior counter at lunch today and lo and behold, there was a completely untouched tester of Celeste mono fusion matte. Since I was wearing vaguely plum-lavender tones anyway, I tried a little of this on the inner part of my lids- normally the most sensitive part. Almost an hour later and it's not irritating my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is huge for me.

Granted, it's normally shimmery shades that are really difficult for me to deal with, but it does seem like I might be able to pull this off. It's a gorgeous icy lilac shade, right up my proverbial alley.

I am getting the lipsticks also. If it doesn't work for me it always work on my daughter. NC-25-NC30 DD is NW20 hehehe No makeup waste hehehhe

I'm very glad the monos work for you! I have Millennium and I love it. I'll probably pick up one of the mattes too

Ooh, icy lilac sounds lovely. I'm so happy that it worked for you. Gorgeous on your eyes I'm sure. You feel like you've hit the jackpot when you get to swatch from a pristine new tester

Plums are beautiful on you.

Yep, I love all my dior blushes like you do

The blush looks so pretty on you too! I cannot wait to get it. Thanks for the swatch

That's what I feared, a gorgeous-looking palette which prooves too sheer. I'll stick to the monos

Oh you are so lucky that those showed up on you. I swatched them on my hand and nothing but the black could be seen... I was counting on picking up taupe shade, too bad it was so sheer :-(

First glimpse (for me at least) of Dior Transat Edition, Summer 2014, showing Sun Deck 564 and Atlantique 344.

I took this image of the two quints from the summer collection from Dior from a Russian site. I hope that's all right. Maybe I should have started a new thread?

I already know that I'll buy Sun Deck because I think I have enough blue and green, and then a few days later I'll come back for Atlantique because it looks so fresh. The lipsticks and nail polish look very tender.

I wonder if the pink from the blue quint is eyeshadow or some sort of lip product?

And I am double sure It will look beautiful on you as well. It is gorgeous IRL and it has a great color pay off. The eyeshadows I am kind of doubtful. I don't know If its worth to keep just for 2 colors.

I'm not interested in the shadows, but its a shame they weren't so good eh?

Argh can't delete double click but for $60 dlls you would have expect more color pay off. I know they are supposed to be for spring but still. No one should skip the blush .... That is just my humble opinion .

 

[sampantha7]

I agree. The blush is beautiful and well worth it.

 

[Haven]

I bought the blush and skipped all of the eye products. The crème shadows were MEH, and I was not impressed by the quint.

 

[josephine90]

So we ll only getting one blush here? They need to stop doing that to me lol

Whatever you decide do not skip that blush ... you'll regret it!!!!

 

[LiliV]

The blush is on my list as well! Been distracted with the new YSL collection though, the Spring collections all really got me this year! The funny thing is I usually hate spring collections (just aren't usually my colors) but there were so many I liked this year

 

[josephine90]

Does dior LE sell our fast? I might have to get the blush next month, went a little crazy at chanel during my birthday!

Some does, It depends what it is. Just like everything else. When Crazy Paris collection came out I didn't hesitate to get the "crazy" meteorites radiance powder x 2 because I didn't wanted to be without them. I thought about getting the "crazy terracotta" healthy glow powder "later next month" as I thought I had shades similar till next paycheck but by then was sold out. I guess it depends . Again I would not sleep into the trianon coral blush because it is worth buying.

It's funny, because the first swatch I did looked really share, but on my eye there was no problem at all. I picked up Celeste and am wearing it today. Feels wonderful and lasts really well- not a bit of fading and working on about 7 hours worth of wear thus far. I'm impressed that it continues to look like a pale lilac, since a lot of icy pastels lose their individuality after a few hours and just look like a dirty white. I tried applying it with my fingers at first, which was ok, then I used a synthetic brush, which worked better.

Sorry to hear that others' experiences haven't been so great. It's funny, because cream shadows are normally my enemy.
