Just want to be honest about my experience with the Capitol of Light palette. I was really excited to get it because it doesn't contain any talc, but the shadows barely show up, even when I pack them on. The colors are also very muted, even muddy, on me.

Anastasia of B.H.'s shadows are much better, in my opinion.

@Ispend2much6 Thank you so much for sharing! In the past, I have had some pigmentation issues with Dior and don't buy many eye shadows from them as a result.

I will say that when I swatched both quints in store, that the pigmentation was there for sure (minus the pink. Which, I'm OK with. But every other shade in the Capitol of Light was lovely and as expected pigmentation wise). I wonder if these are the type of formula that you have to get past the top layer to get the full potential? Which would really be a shame because the top layer is that beautiful Eiffel Tower imprint.

Also, word of warning to anyone readying: the teal in Parisian Sky isn't teal at all. It's like a cream. At least the one in store was.

I'm not familiar with Dior, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Thanks! I added it to the list of brands in the Beauty News thread

Thanks @veronika23!

Really, no Dior thread?!? Weird!! I got that highlighter and it's really beautiful! I only grabbed the pinky one from the Spring collection so I knew I had to also get this one :). I want to grab the new lipstick called Sophisticated but I'm having troubles finding it on any website other than Diors and I dont want to order from them 😛

@sabrinas Dillards has Sophisticated both in store and online. I went to my local store yesterday and they had them in stock, but they also have it on their website.

Libellules · ‎08-25-2016

@sabrinas I was surprised too!

Then that worked perfectly for you! Hmmm - did you try Neiman Marcus? I was surprised to see things in store that they don't have online. And just curious - why? I don't think I've ordered directly from Dior before, or at least - not in a very long time :/.

sabrinas · ‎08-25-2016

No reason! I just like getting other products and GWP's/samples from the department store websites!! I may just go look in stores though, it might be better!

lipstick4soul · ‎08-25-2016

Direct is pretty good I think, unless you are after a specific GWP. They have a lovely selection of minis plus samples. I ordered the monos from them and got the most adorable mini gloss, few other samples plus their free gift packaging is gorgeous.

Libellules · ‎08-25-2016

@lipstick4soul this is the experience that I remember (and I think I recall gift packaging?) but I'm fairly certain that was several years ago. Like, circa 2011 :x, so I wasn't sure!

Libellules · ‎08-25-2016

Gotcha - that makes sense :).

How is it even possible we don't have a Dior thread?!

chanel seems to be getting all the love for the fall collection but I really love this one from Dior.

I have three of the new mono shadows (out of 6 that were released?) I really like this formula. The texture is incredible. I will try and do swatches- a couple of the colors are very similar and pretty much identical on.
