Dior Show New Look collection haul and swatches

As u all know, Dior's New Look collection consist of Diorshow New Look mascara and four Cinq Couleurs New Look palettes. I have gotten the mascara online and my sis is waiting excitedly for the ES. We were told that it should be in Singapore in Feb. The four palettes are: Royal Kaki, Rose Porcelaine, Grège and Bleu de Paris

However, I was at Taka yesterday ... I  saw them!!! I was not really excited about them till I saw them and swatched them. Omg... So pretty....

Pic and swatches

From top to bottom: Bleu de Paris, Royal Kaki, Grège and Rose Porcelaine

 Top row: Grège
2nd row:   Royal Kaki
3rd row:  Bleu de Paris

Top row: Grège
2nd row:   Royal Kaki

Rose Porcelaine

I bought Rose Porcelaine and  Bleu de Paris @ $92 each, got a mini Royal Kaki sample. I'm really tempted to get Grège as well :p. I find this collection very pigmented and the colours are more wearable than the spring collection. I think Grege is the most wearable among the four.


Rose Porcelaine

Bleu de Paris

mini Royal Kaki ( i worn this today, not bad but not something i will go crazy over so  i most prob won't be getting the full size)

Just to compare the size of the sample and full size palette

The mascara set are not from the new look collection. It's the Dior show Extase, the set cost $52 and come with a mini ES from their regular range

.

The rest of January: Collective haul

I bought some things from the spring collection from Dior and Chanel, 2 sliky girl lipsticks, olay moisturizer (my 3rd bottle, its really good n cheap).

Some Mac from a seller, brand new but really old, mainly from the 2008 collections

Dior lip gloss haul

I was browsing online over the weekend and come across a seller who is selling off her old collection of lip gloss. They are mostly minimally used and she is letting off at a very attractive price.

I figure out that I will never finish a lip gloss and why bother paying $35 over the counter or $15 at a warehouse sale. Might as well get this.

I got the following:

Ultra gloss pearl @ 556, 157, 436, 267, 473

Ultra gloss glow @ 237 & 652

Ultra gloss flash @ 856, 686, 582, 732, 662

Dior spring collection 2012 nail polish

Other than free make over, there is also express mani at the road show.
U get to choose any Dior nail color u want, i chose the 2 new color from their spring collection.

Waterlily #504 - in soft green
Forget Me Not #694 - in light mauve

Forget me not is actually very similar to one of their previous collection : rock your nail collection/ purple mix.

Purple mix is only slightly darker, not very diff in fact. Haha

Comparing forget me not (left) and purple mix (right) side by side.

Dior spring collection is here!!

Dior spring collection is here, Taka is having a road show for the launch, spend $120 to enjoy a make over with photo shot.

Garden Clutch ($98) (Limited Edition)

The clutch is a light pink leather-like shell with a “Rosebud” clasp. Inside u have 3 eye shadows, one Dior Ultra-Gloss and one Lip Maximizer.

Available in two color:
Milly Garden #001
Granville Garden #002

I personally find all the 6 eye shadow to be a bit to the sheer side, but the clutch is too pretty for me to say no.. LOL


5-Couleurs Garden Edition ($95) (Limited Edition)

Garden Pastels: Pale pink, buttercup yellow and luminous greens

Garden Roses: Soft pinks, Parma violet, silver and purple.

I really like both the 5-color palettes, the colors of the es are more vibrant and pigmented than the ones in the clutches.

The other 2 smaller palettes are not LE so i didn't buy any thought i'm quite tempted. Maybe will  get on my next visit..LOL..

The rest of the collection

The blusher is very pinky, not my cup of tea.

Nail polish ( i think they are $35 each and are LE)

Waterlily #504 - in soft green
Forget Me Not #694 - in light mauve

My haul: Milly Garden, Granville Garden and Garden Roses.

Dior and kose haul

I have super over spend.... But I'm super happy, 3 warehouse sale in a row. Haha

This is what I got from Dior: 3 es (1 for my friend), 3 lip sticks and a perfume.

Blue ribbon

Soft pink design

I spend almost the same amount in the 2 sales, but I bought so many more from kose :p

Xmas set, I think its last year collection. It's at an amazing $15 only

Review: Christian Dior Radiant Base

My sis bought this and decided that she don't want it so she gave me (as usual...LOL..)

This product is a makeup base but when u pump it out, it look like liquid foundation.


Got this from Nordstrom web site:

Dior 'Diorskin Radiant Base' SPF 20 (Nordstrom Exclusive)

The luminous glow of golden ice crystals inspires Dior's dazzling new makeup base. Just a few drops retextures and smoothes the skin dramatically for a radiant, even finish plus SPF protection. The refreshing, air-light feeling makes it the perfect primer under any Dior makeup—or wear it alone for a sheer golden veil of color.


Like


i like it as it has SPF, most of my makeup base does not have.

It is tinted so i get a good idea whether i have applied it well all over the face.


Dislike


Its difficult to blend and that's the reason why my sis give me.. LOL..

i need to use a foundation brush to aid my blending

It too fair for me..

Will i buy one?

I don't think so...LOL.. i'm still trying to finish it..LOL...
