Dior: Limited Edition Eye Shadow Palettes 2011

Thought I'll do a short write-up on the really limited edition palettes from Dior.
Why do I say "really limited"? Because they are released in far fewer quantities than the previous years' pieces here, and the X'mas 2010 + Spring 2011 collection, and the latest Blue-Tie collection for Fall 2011.

These are really exquisite pieces and you can see the fusion of the Dior Couture with the Dior Maquillage.
For true-blue Dior collectors, be it of Couture or Maquillage, I believe you would already have grabbed them, because if you haven't, they are probably already sold out!

But fret not if you've missed them... because they are just too pretty to be used... can you imagine "destroying" the beautiful work of art in these palettes by brushing your eyeshadow applicators across?!!?!?!

*GASP*

And I feel that buying makeup which cannot be used is really a waste, not only in practical sense, but also because I believe the artiste(s) who came up with these palettes would have wanted them to be used...

Well, without further ado, here they are:

May 2010: Tailleur Bar Eyeshadow Palette

August 2011: Palette Lady Dior

Dior: Cannage Couture Voyage Collection

Been rather disappointed that Dior did not come up with any more outstanding pieces after the whimsical Saddle bag or the classic Lady Dior for their boutique line. Guess it wasn't easy to find someone to take over from John Galliano..

Meanwhile, Dior's cosmetic line seem to be banging on these signature designs for dressing up its maquillage collection, which I must say is a safe bet and a sure-win formula. Just look at the previous beauties that were modelled from the Lady Dior collection alone!

- Miniature Lady Dior bag with charms (Radiant Couture Touch-up for Face, Cheeks & Lips)
- Cannage Eyeshadow palettes with Dior charms (X'mas 2010 red patent & Spring 2011 black lambskin)
- Blue Tie collection (Summer 2011 eyeshadow palette)

Hence, to add-on to these Lady Dior spin-offs, I'd like to share with you 2 more pieces from the Cannage Couture Voyage Collection, which is only available at the airport duty-free shops.

1. All Over Makeup Palette Prêt-à-Porter & Couture Looks

This all rounder palette consists of 6 eyeshadows, 2 lip balm shades, 2 lip stick shades, 1 Diorshow miniature Extase mascara & the Natural Glow Sculpting Powder, all nestled in a zip-around, black patent Cannage design long box-set which can double up as an evening clutch as well. Talk about versatility!

2. Brush Set

Another sweetie to up the glamourous factor! Also in the same black patent Cannage design, this set consists of a brush each for blush, foundation, eyeshadow & lips. A point to note is that this cute pouch comes with a dangling signature "D" logo! Definitely a cute darling to add to your travel must-have items!
