My guerilla swatches hopefully require no more introduction.

The only thing I sprang for was the Ecrin 4 Couleurs Coup de Foudre because look at that coral! And the nuances on those greens! I tried it on at the counter and was surprised to find that it looked beautiful on my skin tone, so into the shopping bag it went.
Dior Spring 2013![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAxe5C-6GWi_ma4M0jlSXgRFVMVxCOOyW7pCMEn6y3EUsIzsRZ2kYKOV_1jQcPJVWpsclJ49j-VZ7o-KuOv9QT3taon9OzjeHaiKGJUedaU42ZBYJahjzaLWJe7s4OopkfErFNCzDl/s1600/Dior+Spring+2013+Rose+Charmeause+eyeshadow+quint.jpg)
What caught my eye about Rose Charmeuse was the really dark black, which reminded me of LMdB Nouvelle Vague (swatches here, look here). I can't be certain, but I believe it is as pigmented.

Dior released a couple of duo cream/powder shadow sticks for spring as well, which I swatched above - cream on top, shadow on the bottom. It's... better than what I expected from shadow sticks, but the product itself doesn't appeal to me personally.
I think Dior released some beautiful pinks, but pinks are not my strong suit and not something I would wear much, so I didn't pick anything up from Dior. I am quite tempted by the two nail lacquers, but decided to mull over them for a couple of weeks before purchasing.
I swatched these in Saks Fifth Avenue New York, but both collections are already up online at Nordstrom!
WHOA, Coup de Foudre is wild! I can't wait to see how it looks worn :) Thanks for the swatches, Xiao!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the look you do for Coup de Foudre. I love those greens! I wonder if the coral can be doubled as a blush. I'm definitely going to get this... release only in February here :-( I have Dior Rose Charmeuse. Surprisingly wearable!
ReplyDeleteI have to get the purple quad from Guerlain, they look so beautiful! And at least one Rouge Automatique. I only have one quad with a vibrant pink (or fuchsia) - YSL candy e/s palette. I was surprised how often I was wearing this palette and I definetly need more pinks. I love wearing them especially with deep blue or any grey. Thank you so much for the swatches! / Claire
ReplyDeleteBoth of those Guerlain quads are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I want Coup de Foudre and Perles du Paradis! SO MUCH. Thank you for the swatches!
