Dior's Mitzah Collection

The Dior Mitzah Collection is a limited edition collection that is exclusively available at Sephora and Sephora.com. Unfortunately, I only have two of three items that I purchased from this collection.  Some items where left out of my last parcel, and Dior's Vernis Nail Lacquer in Camel was one of them :'(

First, the 5 Couleurs Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Mitzah. The exterior packaging is the same blue plastic palette casing. Besides the actual products, my second favorite thing in this collection is the dior panther (leopard) print lined velvet pouches. The panther lining adds an extra touch of chic to the collection. Normally, I toss these pouches but I will be keeping these; turning them inside out to expose the lining and storing the palettes in them.

The eyeshadows in the Mitzah palette also have the same panther print theme on their surface.

The shadows in this palette swatch like a dream :) 

The Mitzah 5 Couleurs Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette retails for $60 and is still available online at Sephora.com. 

Next, is the Dior Mitzah Panther Eyeshadow Palette in Jungle Print. The presentation and packaging of this product is very lush! The Jungle Print palette comes in a weighty mirrored silver compact. Also included in this palette is small brush with its own matching tiny velvet pouch (so cute). Regrettably, I no longer have the numbered card that came with this palette due to SOMEONE throwing it away...(insert despising stare).

The colors in the palette are listed from left to right:

A matte cream beige

A dark chocolate brown shimmer

A matte dark toffee camel 

I love anything leopard print and once I saw this palette, I had to have it!! This item can be a wonderful collectors piece; and even through I do "collect" makeup, I also believe in using it. The Jungle print palette retails for $90 but it is no longer available online.

If you were not able to get this palette, don't worry, as you can see in the swatches, the chocolate brown, beige and camel shades in the Mitzah 5 colour palette are almost idenitcal.   

The shimmer in the cream beige shadow in the Mitzah palette has a slight pink cast, where the beige in the Panther palette is matte and sheerer. 

The chocolate brown shade is just about identical in both palettes, except the panther shadow is a bit darker. 

Also, the camel shade in the panther palette is darker then the Mitzah shadow. 

What were your thoughts on this collection? Did you buy anything?

Update: here is a look I did using the Mitzah 5 Couleurs Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette:
