I GOT 2 DIOR PALETTES!! There, i said it. -____-

I wanted Dior palettes over a year now! Always hesitating. But Pharmaprix’s promotion really enticed me to get them! 15x points when you spend 75$ and more. So, i got 2 palettes! haha yes, i was crazy but i told myself, i’mma get them eventually, so why not just get it now and get it over with!

To be honest, the pricing is not that expensive when I think about. We might all think “wo. 56$ for one thing?” But, if you go buy 5 mac eyeshadow, it will cost more (if we are talking about the 17$ eyeshadow, in CDN currency).

A dior palette comes with 5 shades. 5 extremely nice shades with all sitting together in the palette. They look so nice together in the palette that I had to purchase it. Note, i did say nice together IN THE PALETTE! Once they are applied on my eyes, they are a bit too shimmery on the eyes for my taste. But I know if i don’t purchase them, i’ll always tempt to buy it. So i had to just get over my craving. Shimmery, but they indeed very creamy. They glides on the eyes very smoothly. Very blendable. But once applied on the eyes, i can barely tell the color difference. They all looked the same. There are 2 shades that are almost the same color once applied on the skin. This is especially true for the 2 lightest color on the palette.

They are definitely nice colors. But if you are like that dont like excessive shimmers on your eyes, you should avoid this or try to pair with some matte eyeshadows. It’s simply a nice palette to have cuz the colors look so pretty together in the palette! I just couldn’t resist. And i thought the pouch the comes with the palette is kinda cheap…I think they could have done a much better job on the cutting. The sponge applicators are very handy! They do a really good job actually, they pick up much more than brushes. So use their sponge if you want more pigmentation.

I don’t think I’ll buy any dior palette anytime soon. Unless another palette appeals to me again. Their palettes seem to have repetitive shades. For example, the petal shine pink is kinda the same pink from the tropical light. Many shades are subtly different. You can even tell the difference once applied on the eyes. So, it is not worth the money to buy another palette when you are really getting 2 new shades off from every new palette.

I need to use them more often. That’s my verdict for now!
