Dior Beauty was on a roll this Spring, churning out several collections. Not that I'm complaining, but now I'm having a hard time remembering which products went with what release...the frivolous things we stress about.
Today, I'm going to showcase two more items I purchased from the Blue Nature Collection: 956 Violet Garden, and 292 Coeur De Fleur.
Another Backstage Boutique, Isetan Shinjuku exclusive, the aptly named 956 Violet Garden is a glorious palette for Spring. Purples are one of my favorite shades of eyeshadows, and my heart goes a pitter-patter from the color combinations of Violet Garden.
Color description from left to right:
A matte, mid-toned, dusty red-violet with thinly dispersed silver micro-glitter that disappears on the lids.
A frosted white with a pink douchrome.
A grey-based, mid-toned, dusty lavender with a satin finish.
An amethyst-based, dark taupe with a satin finish.
a satin, mid-toned, carnation pink with a golden duochrome.
all five of the shadows have a great texture, apply and blend smoothly. They're pigmented, but not insanely pigmented; which works great when achieving various levels of intensity.
Dior Addict Lipstick in 292 Coeur De Fleur is the peanut butter to 956 Violet Garden's jelly; love wearing these two together.
Although not part of the Blue Nature collection, 957 Hortensia Diorshow Colour & Contour Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Duo (of the Glowing Gardens collection) partners favorably with Violet Gardens and Coeur de Fleur. I really liked the Diorshow Colour & Contour Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Duo, and picked up all of them; these babies are budge-proof and long-lasting.

I'm really loving the majority of all the Spring beauty collections, and the variation of combinations. I found 956 Violet Garden exceptionally inspirational; I've already made a significant dent in four of the five shades.
That palette is such a beauty! Lovely shades that is sure pretty in an eye makeup. i think the icy pink is too sheer for me.
ReplyDeleteThe icy pink is gorgeous in person. If you feel it'll be too sheer, wear into under a white base or wet.
