Dior will launch a beautiful (purple-toned!) collection for holiday 2009. (The color scheme seems to be a continuation from the fall 2009 collection.) The star item of the season is Cristal Boreale, which is a pendant containing a lip gloss and is embellished with 52 Swarovski crystals. Since Lady Dior in Spring, I haven’t picked up any item from Dior. But it is almost certain that I am going to use my Boots points on Cristal Boreale.

Also, I have never come across the gorgeous Lilas Addict collection in person in the UK, but the lovely purple 5-Color Iridescent Eyeshadow and Cristal Boreale Eyeshadow (above) should make up for it.

Here is a quick look at the rest of the collection:

I can’t wait to see the collection in person!

It is great to see new versions of the Jewel Lips range (launched in spring 2007). The Jewel Lips lipsticks I have are certainly among the cutest lipsticks in my makeup collection, and I also like their soft satiny finish. I am looking forward to seeing the new shades.
