Dior Trianon Spring Collection Overview

So this was my most anticipated spring collection that has come out this year, I was mildly interested in Lancome's Ballerine collection but I passed on that. I find that in the continental USA we see a couple browns next to a pink and say the whole palette is pink themed but one pink eye shadow does not a palette make. So! When I saw Dior's Spring collection I had to have it, also I am going to pick up the Jill Stuart Strawberry collection as soon as I can.  I did a costume look using these colors to show how you can make these really over the top, even though they may seem pretty boring. Note the Dior imprint is practically rubbed off I've been using it so much. The reason I mention Jill Stuart is because these products seriously remind me of the quality of Jill Stuart makeup, the Trianon 5 colors is not everyone's cup of tea from a practical standpoint but as I am used to more pastel pearly finishes I really loved them. For someone with a yellow skin tone ...

Estee Lauder Gilded Rose Set

Bought these a while ago but I am just posting these as a review. These are a set of eyeshadows and marbleized shimmer powder. The eyeshadows come gilded but the gold is not incorporated into the shadows. These are satin colors one light baby pink, a magenta pink, a peachy tan pink, and the fourth is a tawny rose color. Super close to matte powders and a little disappointing because the "rose gold" overlay comes right off with one swipe. The colors are very nice though even if the overlay goes away. The marble shimmer powder feels good on my skin but as I have some tan left on my skin the rose blends a little bit too much. So a fair skin or yellowed skin will really benefit from the color in the marble if you want to use it as a blush. Otherwise the shimmer looks good as a general highlight. I did not buy both at the same time I got them from my local CCO for around 16.00 a piece. Compared to retail Estee Lauder prices this is very cheap. I wished there was a rose gold match...
