Have you tried it on yet
I've been wearing mine regularly. It is a more subdued highlight (more glowy and natural than in your face). It is a pale peachy beige pink. Really beautiful.

Actually, I prefer that instead of the overly obvious. I just may get it lol.

Just tried it [MENTION=12810]Icecaramellatte[/MENTION] and [MENTION=21522]elegant-one[/MENTION]
Funny enough the sparkles remind me of Camelia de Chanel but PR is finer and almost as soft as CT Filmstar and has a cool pink tone.
It's the bottom swatch (under Jouer Rose Gold and Rose Quartz)

Pink on AWS?! Never!
In all seriousness, it looks lovely on you and sounds like something I’d enjoy. I hadn’t grabbed it because Sabrina’s swatches made it look a twin to the Glowing Gardens Nude...do you have that one to compare?

I thought [MENTION=35539]Monsy[/MENTION] swatched them earlier in the thread. Although, sometimes I make things up.

So, I finally bought things.
5-Colours 457 - Fascinate: Quite wonderful in colour and in texture, altough one of the colours could be different for a better contrast.
Vernis 612 - Metallics: Nice "nude" colour for those who don't like beige.
Vernis 917 - Paradox: Nice in sunlight, green-dark grey shimmer. Disappointing in artificial light, looks like grey shimmer. Surprisingly the one that sold out the fastest everywhere over here.
They were putting up the holiday collection today. I tried the grey quint and it was disappointing, which was a surprise for me (I love green). The only colour I liked was the dark green in the bottom, the middle one is kind of hard to work with, the rest are meh. I liked the pink - red one, also the green and pink polishes.
Lipsticks were too colourful for me, as usual in fall / winter collections. The colours and textures were quite nice though, I'd recommend checking them out. No illuminator over here.

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.

Sigh, the discussions here really don't help when you try to buy less make-up! 
So I've ordered the Emerald quint yesterday. Initially I was more interested in Ruby too, but when I saw Escentual's Youtube video with both looks I thought Emerald would really work better for me. My eyes have almost the same color as the model's in the clip and IMO she looks much better with the Emerald look.
