Being lucky enough to get to see new launches, we have
noticed a lot of similarities in collection themes. Fate, Superstition and luck
all seem to be the backbone inspiration for this fall season.
Being slightly into
all things mysterious and dark I am quite enjoying seeing how colour is
translated into products around this theme.
Dior’s latest collection called Mystic Metallics takes its
inspiration form Monsieur Dior himself.
The story goes that
one night in 1946 he was walking through a Parisian street contemplating his
future as a fashion illustrator when he tripped over a metallic star. The next
day he used this star as inspiration to create his own house. The collection
was a success and he kept his lucky star with him in his pocket.
Not sure how much of this story is exaggerated however I
think it’s a lovely story so I’m going with it!
5 Couleurs Mystic Metallics-£41.00
Two colour options are available in this palette.
Constellation (I
didn’t have this to test) is a mixture of plumps, taupe, purple and gold with a
highlight of baby pink.
This palette would
look amazing on all eyes but would especially enhance a green eye.
Second palette is called Constellation and is a mix of aqua,
blue, silver, olive and a bronze in the
centre.
This would look beautiful on
blue and brown eyes.
The colour pay off is good and a solid block of colour can
be achieved. Powder texture is so silky they almost feel like a cream and they
blend with ease.
As the name would
suggest the colours have a water like metallic shine. The eyelid glistens with
vibrant colour.
3 Couleurs Glow-£35.00
Again two colour choices of Sapphire blue or Silver and
black. This set is for those who like a little colour with a liner.
We looked at the
silver/black combo.
The colour on the left is a lilac based silver with a
natural metallic cover.
The colour on the
right is a fine glitter that has a transparent finish. The glitter is very fine
and made of silver, lilac, pink and gold glitter. It can be used on its own for
a wet look lid or on top of the silver to give it a shimmer.
There is also a thin
black powder, which is used as a liner. The liner will allow you to create a
smudgy, smoky look around the eye.
Dior Blush
Dior has re launched
the packaging of their blush into a thinner case, which contains an angled
brush for application.
Powder is embossed
with the Dior logo and set in a mirrored case.
We tested two colours called Brown Milly and Mimi Bronze.
Brown Milly is a purple pink, which has a slight gold
highlight, and Mimi Bronze is a peachy gold.
Not sure of the
inspiration behind the names but neither names give a good indication to the
colour inside.
Also in the collection are the Diorshow Fusion Mono priced at £23.50. Coming in eight shades these gel-mousse texture pots are basically like a cream eyeshadow.
Sweep them over the lids with a synthetic brush or use as a base to your eyeshadow to intensify the shadow colour.

This collection is available nationwide from 16th August 2013.

ReplyDeleteI really like the look of this collection! I love the 5 colour shadow palette! This mystical theme reminds me of something I was bought a long time ago from Estee Lauder, which is a luck cube which was limited edition.
