The Holiday Collection
The brown eyeshadow is well done, but very common. Three of the colours are about 1:1 with three of their monos (Fire, Reflection and Delicate), the one in the middle is close to the taupe one of the yellow eyeshadow from fall, and the black one is just black I mean everyone has black eyeshadows. Kinda meh, but I get that it had to be done to balance the other one, plus a good choice for someone who never had one of these.
The colourful eyeshadow is a treat, because while the colours are all quite different, they somehow work together. I doubt the majority would work more than two of them together (I certainly wouldn't), but they're nice on their own or combined with other eyeshadows. The three "colours" are really good, the green one is the most common (I feel like I have it already but then I really like greens) while the pink and the blue ones are really different from what's usually seen. The gold and the silver colours are common, but they are versatile enough. I might go back for it, I'm still undecided.
There were no liquid eyeshadows besides a lonesome tester from fall stuck there to trick clients. This was at a "Sephora", not a Dior counter, so it's not the brand's fault. I've been told they received mixed reviews? Some say they're really nice, some say they're really bad. I can't talk about those.
The diorific lipsticks are really pretty, I recommend everyone that likes lipstick to swatch them at least because there might be one that suits their tastes. I'm not a fan of staturated lipsticks so didn't get any.
The nail colours are pretty standard. The red is close to Pandore, the magenta one is more saturated than their standard Mirage but around that shade (therefore pretty), the beige-peach one is a colour I'm against on principle so I shouldn't comment on it.
The glitter topcoat is really cute and nice though, so I got that. I tried it at home, very colourful (pink and blues mostly) and still somewhat sheer at 3 coats (but getting there), plus it's their really good top coat. I hope I'll have the patience to stack up 5 or so coats of this for New Year.
Poison Perfume
On other news, apparently the Poison perfume line is going to be discontinued on "Sephora" types of stores outside of France? I went to buy one for my mother since it's her favourite since the 80s, but they told me that and I really couldn't find more than EDTs on it (which were also the last ones). I asked at the flagship store and they told me they will continue to sell it there, but can't really say what's up on those stores.
Spring Makeup
On yet other news, there are so pics on instagram for the spring collection, apparently called Glow Vibes. I'm not sure what to think of the eyeshadow (too colourful for me to even begin to know how to use it), there's some new lip glow glasses with oils too.
Their moisturizers are so nice! I think I own almost everything from them now lol. The toner & the retinol oil capsules are amazing!
