Dior Cosmetics Discussion

[Medgal07]

I am sad to say that I purchased the smoky gold palette, tried it, and returned it today. The colors, while lovely, did not show up on me at all. They just disappeared on my skintone. It took too many layers/passes of my brush to get any intensity.

Plus the deal breaker was that the glittery gold shadow (upper right) irritated the heck out of my eyes. Even when applied wet or with a primer/glitter glue. I usually can wear almost anything without skin or eye irritation. The only exception used to be Chanel's waterproof liners and waterproof mascara. Now I am adding this.

That's pretty lousy Haven. I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you. I found the glitter fine enough that I didn't need glitter glue. I used the same primer that I use with my all
of my regular eyeshadows. You're correct though, eye irritation is an absolute deal breaker. I'll try to take & post a pic the next time that I wear the palette.

I love, love love quint 796---it is so up my eyeshadow alley. I have a few of the NPs sitting in my online cart but Emotion is one I've not seen or heard of. It's gorgeous!
You've given me even more to think about MissTania.

796 is just spectacular!!! I hope the collection makes its way to you, I think you snagged some nail polishes (Nymphea and Peony?) from last years Dior Snow, was it exclusive to Saks?

Both these bloggers mention Dior Snow was expected for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale...

I bought the Dior Blush in 856 today...and now I want the Dior Snow one!!!

I saw Tutu, very pretty. It reminds me of an older Dior Quint I have in Charming Fantasy- I googled it and saw they are different though.

If I did not have eye allergies, I would be buying a few for sure!

I saw them in Myer, a department store in Australia in the Sydney City store. I believe only a few stores get Dior Snow collections.

They told me it was released in April- I have a vague memory of seeing a display, but I definitely did not see Emotion nail polish as I would have bought it straight away.

The Dior Snow display stand has been taken down, so I happened to see Emotion sitting with the regular nail polishes and recognised it as a colour I had not seen before.

They have 2 of the highlighters in stock still hidden away - I swatched it on my hand and it came up as a very soft pretty pink. Does it show up nicely on your skin? The packaging was not my favourite though, being a very light plastic but I like the white colour for a change...I might go back for it later today as I work nearby.

I would love to see your review!!

There are hardly any online.

I certainly hope so too. I think Nymphea 307--a gorgeous pale aqua might have been exclusive to Saks, initially. It sold out really fast. I don't have Peony, nor do I
remember it. I looked it up and it's gorgeous! How did I miss that one!!!

Those colors are amazing, I didn't see anything even close to the items in the link at Nordstrom!
The sale ends August 4.

Rose Diorette is so pretty!! ENJOY!!!!

Here is a list (and photos) of all of the 13: http://www.lullabees.de/2014/07/dior-fall-look-2014-5-couleurs.html

Oh dear god. Somebody hold me. I now want about six quads, both blushes and a few of the lipsticks and polishes. I need to find a rich relative and milk them dry, pronto.

Thank you! The blogger who posted the Rose Diorette swatches said it came out during Mystic Metallics, so it must have been re-released here or something, I was told it's LE.

I went back and got the DiorSnow Blush - the collector in me couldn't resist. Working one street away from a department store tends to result in these kinds of purchases.

I hope both of these come to your shores!

hi Sara
I had to place an order at Selfridges for my LM Repair creme and saw them in the new arrivals, when I saw Cuir Cannage I think my heart skipped a beat so I added that quint to my order...
can't wait to get it as recently Dior has been surprising me with the Constellation quints!

Hi there Sonja, the queen of brushes

I have to tell you the bad news. I have as well ordered Cuir Cannage from Selfridges and after 4 working days they wrote me eventually that they don't have this quad in stock and cancelled my order :-( this was the day before yesterday. Please keep me updated how your order goes.

It is unbelievable that they cancel one order and still show it as in stock at their website. Selfridges has been a bad bad store lately...

really ? that's bad!!
I'll let you know as soon as I am updated with something.
I don't think the issue has been solved in such a short time... I really need the skincare (living on samples that aren't even adapted right now) so I hope they won't wait 4 days before I get an info

I hope we get all 13 here. So far we have only 5. We have some of the lippies and NP. I have several sitting in an online cart, Just hoping more of the quints show up!!!

ET: correct typo

 

[katred]

I'm hoping we get all 13 here as well. Or rather, I hope I can figure out where they are. Dior has a tendency to give exclusives to several different stores and the trick is to find out who has what. I'm sort of interested in Pastel Choc, which doesn't look especially pastel at all, and Victoire, along with my original favourite Trafalgar. Cuir Cannage is also rich and beautiful looking, even if I do keep misreading it as "Cuir Carnage".

 

[Medgal07]

I've been stalking department stores and so far, those that have them, all have the same 5 palettes.

 

[SlugPower]

It might take some time. We only had the first four for a long time as well. It was the same for the nail polish re-launch. For about a month, there will only four of them, and when I asked they had no idea that there would be more coming. Yeah sure, no idea. LOL.

Lol Same here. That could have been something in the YsL Cuir Fétiches collection.

As much as I love gold I just couldn't commit to Smoky Gold so I checked around and saw something that worked better with how I want to curate my makeup and found the Silver Glow palette from 2013 http://www.colormeloud.com/2013/09/dior-3-couleurs-glow-751-silver-glow.html?m=1 Can't wait til it arrives

 

[sgr2008]

@sarabeautime seems like my "order has left the building" today and with Cuir Cannage ... was my Lucky day
I will let you know how it is and if it arrives, probably not here till Monday though...

Sounds pretty typical SlugPower!
