Miss QQ, Rosy Tan is available at Sephora. In stores and online. Just FYI. Hope you get your hands on it.

I may have mentioned this in a prior post on here. But I have 3 Dior Quints. One of them is awesome when it comes to pigmentation and application. One of them I've yet to try and the most recent one I purchased is TERRIBLE with the color pay off. The pigmentation is terrible. I regret spending $60, not including tax, on this most recent quint. And I love love love the colors in it. But they apply patchy and transparent. The eyeshadows I use most of the time are MAC, Urban Decay, Stila and Lorac. I also have a few Armani ones and all of those have great pigmentation and apply well. For $60 it shouldn't just give me great color payoff and smooth application. It should take me out to dinner and buy me a drink. (JUST KIDDING, OBVIOUSLY)

Has anyone else had this problem with a Dior Quint? I really want Royal Khaki too, but if my recent purchase is any indication of the quality of the newer quints, forget it. The one that is giving me issues is called Stylish Move. I also have Gris Gris, which is gorgeous as well, but I have yet to use it. I love Dior's blushes and lip products. And the one quint that I have used is great. That's why I bought the others. Gorgeous colors and what I thought was great formulation. Gris Gris may be too. But Stylish Move's formulation either sucks or I got a bad batch. The one I've used that is amazing is called Couture Golds and I got it a couple of years ago. Did Dior change their formulation? I'm also interested in the holiday quints and one they have right now out called Khaki Design. I either want that one or Royal Khaki. But if their formulas are all as bad as Stylish Move, a recent purchase, forget it. Please let me know if any of you all have experienced this. Thanks.

Yes, I've had the same experience. I purchased Royal Khaki and it had very poor pigmentation so it went back. I also purchased Golden Savannah and it also had poor pigmentation but I couldn't take it back because my cat tore up the box! The only one that has really been great is Bonne Etoile. I sort of wonder if it's because the shadow design is different and maybe they are made in a different place.

I'm willing to take a chance though with Golden Flower, it's so pretty!

Thank you, vaisforluvrs, for the info. I'm definitely not going to buy anymore quints for now. And thanks for letting me know about Royal Khaki. At least I know I'm not alone in finding the recent quints lacking.

I got my Rosy Glow blush in Petal yesterday. It is gorgeous! It gives me such a pretty, natural flush, and I think it would go well with a lot of different makeup.looks. I'm so glad it's permanent!

Woohoo.....I am so glad that you love it

It is really an amazing blush

It is! I also just tried the Mono eyeshadow in Millennium, and I'm now officially a convert to high end makeup. Millennium is gorgeous and the way it catches the light is so sophisticated and beautiful. I paired it with MAC Print in the crease (the only grey I have) and it's stunning. I really love the texture and it's really easy to apply with fingertips. I was lazy and put it over the light gold eyeshadow I wore today, and I was able to apply it without having to redo my eyeliner. I now want all of the Monos as they're so beautiful and great to work with. I love makeup, but I'm not a pro at it, and any stunning, easy-to-use products will always get my vote.

I like Golden Flower but not sure if it's enough for me to buy it. :/ Swatches will tell, I suppose.

Isn't it totally FAB!!!!! My official #1 gorgeous blush. Soooooooooo happy that you love it!!!

I also really love Chanel's Rose Ecrin

Has anyone tried Diorskin Nude Tan? (nude glow sun powder). It comes with a mini kabuki brush and in a silver compact both with separate black velvet pouches. I got it in 006 Sienna. Can't wait to try it!

It really does. I think I'll at least also get Hypnotique, if not a few more. I love quick, lazy looks for my eyes. It makes it so much easier to put a look together when I'm running late

I passed Rosy Tan and was very disappointed that I couldn't get my hands on it anymore, since it was LE. Do you think Golden Flower is close to RT? I think the middle gold colour is a glittery gloss and the top left pink shade is also warmer and peachy. Golden Snow looks beautiful too, I can't decide which to get.

The bottom 2 shades of Rosy Tan remind me of Golden Flower, the top left pink shade of GF is a lovely pinky peach colour. Golden Snow looks pretty too, but I know I'll get more wear out of GF.

SamanthaDeMuro is right, it's permanent Hope you get a chance to swatch it soon, it's one of my all time favourite 5 couleurs. I used to wear Dior Earth Reflection alot for a neutral look, then since RT arrived I have stuck to that as my go to neutrals.

 

[Miss QQ]

That's odd because Rosy Tan quint is LE in my country. I love Rosy Glow blush! It's beautiful and it smells divine. It really does go with many looks because it is a healthy, happy colour on.

 

[MissTania]

What a shame Rosy Tan is LE in your country.

On a brighter note, found some early swatches of both of the new 5 Couleurs:

[Monsy]

yes she got tons of dior stuff, holiday too that's why I said it's released in canada already (i guess)

 

[Miss QQ]

The holiday quints are beautiful! I love the mauve in Golden Snow, not sure if I will get it. I want Golden Flower! I came across this look using Fusion Mono Hypnotique. Gorgeous! http://stureplan.se/bloggar/linda/2013/08/24/todays-look-classy-in-dior

That's beautiful. I'll definitely pick Hypnotique up at some point.

I like the swatches of the quints, but both of them have two pale shades that I likely wouldn't use much, so they may be a skip. The colors really are beautiful, though.
