I bought these lovely Dior eyeshadows when I went shopping last week, but it's taken me a while to find time to take photos of my entire collection of Dior quints, so I thought I'd post about the whole thing together.
I love Dior eyeshadows, they are great, pigmented, smooth and come in lovely colours. I have many of them (see below) and am always very happy to hear about new ones being released. That is why I got so excited when I read that Dior were releasing two new quints in USA and was very eager for them to make it all the way to the UK too. And finally we have them!
The new eyeshadow quints are 004 Mystic Smokys and 804 Extase Pinks. They cost £39 each which is quite a bit more than they were when I started collecting them about 2 years ago (I think they were £34 then, but I might be wrong). I tend to buy them in Boots or Debenhams to make use of my Advantage Card points or Beauty Club Reward system, this time I saved £25 on them because I had £20 reward on my Debenhams Beauty Club Reward Card (it was the result of several months' make up buying) and they are currently giving a £5 voucher if you spend over £25 on fragrance and beauty. Anyway...
Here are some pictures of my new additions. Mystic Smokys is a nice dark combo with two highlighter shades. The lady at the Dior counter said you should use the brown shade under the other shades to intensify them, which I haven't tried yet, so don't know if it's true. But I can definitely see myself creating a nice smoky eye with the silver and purple shades on the top, and the light pink in the middle.
Extase Pinks is much prettier to me with its pinks, purple and two gorgeous grey/silver shades. I can see using the two grey/silver plus the light pink in the middle for a smoky look and also the two pinks and the purple for a nice bright pink/purple look. Overall if I could only get one, I would definitely pick this one up.
And finally, here are some pictures of my ever growing collection of Dior quints. I have 38 of them and can't wait to add the two new summer ones, Ready To Glow and Crush Glow.
