It's so interesting to me that the higher end designers aren't deviating much from past years (if not flat out re-releasing items from the previous year). Thanks for the comparisons!

purly · ‎10-14-2016

So true! A lot of high end designers re-use certain colors for certain seasons, on a schedule. Everything is expensive, but you can keep using it from year to year. It's that way with my bag and shoe collections.

I should show you the comparison of the holiday polishes from this year compared to prior. Dior likes to repeat a dark purple-almost-black, a golden, a red (and sometimes also a pink), and then a topper of something shiny like gold flake or glitter. Every year going back... years. Even the packaging is the same! The colors do vary a little though, so it makes it worth it for me to get the new ones sometimes.

I actually really appreciate the continuity because it lets me build up my collection. And I was running low on fabuleuse, so I'm glad to have splendor. That red is nearly my perfect red.

So I had a chance to wear the "matte" purple holiday lipstick. I personally like it, but its more like a creamy sheerer berry. It does dry down after a while, and doesn't work well with premoisturised then blotted off lips. I can't say anything about the other colors but I might just get the gold lipstick, nail polish, and highlighter and then be over the whole collection.

Swatches from Temptalia of the Precious Embroidery (776) palette. They look beautiful and she gave them a pretty good rating. I think I'm going to have to buy this one! 🙂

@Asche Good god, these are gorgeous.

Asche · ‎10-14-2016

@TKLJ Aren't they?! I've been lusting after this palette for (what feels like) forever! I nearly ordered it from the US because I want it so bad. If only the shipping/exchange rate wasn't so awful it'd be on it's way here right now. 😛

dioradict · ‎10-14-2016

@Asche I believe Nordstrom Vancouver got the holiday dior items. I saw an IG post from one of the beauty stylists. But I wait usually for Shoppers near me to get them.

Asche · ‎10-14-2016

@dioradict Ooo I wonder if that means they'll be at the Eaton's Nordstrom now. I was trying to be patient so I could use ebates or get some optimum points...but we'll see how long my patience lasts.

Libellules · ‎10-14-2016

Thanks for sharing @Asche!! I swatched this in person, and found it slightly muddier (minus the mauve) - but the shimmer is really beautiful

lipstick4soul · ‎10-08-2016

I got this one and it is beautiful! The only shade I didn't care for is the white. All the other ones are buttery and gorgeous. Very shimmery but not quite sparkely.

I saw the grey quad and it is pretty but not that unusual except for the embossing. I'd definitely recommend this over the other.

Asche · ‎10-08-2016

@lipstick4soul I'm so jealous that you've got it already! 😛 I don't think it's available in Canada until later this month or November. I can't wait to get it.

cutiecocolove · ‎10-07-2016

I went to Nordstroms today, picked up the holiday lipstick. Feels solid and heavy, the purple is muted and super nice. Really comfortable matte. The gold lipstick is sheer in a swipe. The highlighter which I was there for originally was not there. The SA said it would come in a week or so, and said it was the highlighter from the skyline collection but repackaged. I have to go back lol

lipstick4soul · ‎10-08-2016

I got the same info on the highlighter. My Nordstrom hadn't gotten it in yet and had the skyline one in the holiday display.

cutiecocolove · ‎10-08-2016

Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but I think they are making that one permanent along with the contour/highlight sticks

lipstick4soul · ‎10-08-2016

I heard that too. It won't have sequins though 😉

More Dior Spring

DaintyDiva · ‎10-07-2016

Wow, those Matte Lips are interesting!

They also posted a mini video on their FB page.

I just noticed the new "lip glow" is actually a sugar scrub.

The Dior Nude Air Luminizer is just the Glowing Gardens Highlight in Nude repackaged right? Please correct me if I'm wrong, lol.

Kelizabethr07 · ‎10-06-2016

That's what my Dior SA told me. However, I think it swatches ever so slightly lighter. If you have the Glowing Gardens one though I don't think you'll need this one because the differences are miniscule.
