I've been meaning to write about my new Dior eyeshadow palettes since I got my hand on them several weeks ago. These eyeshadows are part of Dior's summer collection and a beautiful addition to my collection of Dior quints which you can check out here.
The two palettes released are Ready-to-Glow and Crush Glow. They are both iridescent, so that means there's a lot of shimmer in them. Some of the shades are a little less shimmery, but especially the lighter ones are definitely not for you if you don't like shimmery eyeshadows. Ready-to-Glow is the cooler of the two with grey, cool toned brown and icy pink shades, but it also has a lovely peachy colour. Crush Glow is definitely warm, it has a gold, a lovely warm pink and a warm brown shade, as well as a taupe and light pink. I love them both, but probably prefer Crush Glow since it is very summery.

They cost £39 each, so definitely not cheap, but Dior is a very classy, high quality brand, the eyeshadows are smooth, buttery, easy to blend and long lasting. And you do get 5 eyeshadows for your money, and the shades in the quints usually work really well together, so great for travelling too.

Crush Glow is absolutely beautiful. I wish I could afford it!
ReplyDeleteAaw Charlie, that sucks. :( Have you tried checking eBay though, as often you can buy them for a lot less, and if you don't mind testers or gently used items, you can save a lot! Just a thought. ;)
