I had a chance to see Dior‘s Diorsnow Icy Halos Collection in person. The shades are generally soft and airy. The darkest shade of the entire collection is the medium silvery gray in the 5 Couleurs Iridescent palette, which is far from overly intense. The finishes of the eyeshadow shades are (pleasantly) not too frosty.

With the gorgeous rose motifs, Dior‘s spring 2012 makeup collection, Garden Party, is such a pretty collection. The limited-edition seasonal star item, Dior Garden Clutch, is available in two variations, 001 Milly Garden and 002 Granville Garden. The choice was easy for me. As I prefer warmer neutrals, I went for 002 Granville Garden with my Boots points.

Among RMK’s Christmas Palettes, the 2011 edition is certainly one of the better ones in terms of mix-and-match possibilities of the eyeshadows and blushers. For me, the highlights of the set are the blushers and the lip gloss. The collaboration with Kate Spade makes this limited-edition set extra special.

Have a look at images of Dior’s spring 2012 Garden Party makeup collection at Iswii.com. (The article also features images of Lancôme’s spring 2012 makeup collection.) I love the new seasonal limited-edition item, which is a variation of Dior Minaudière from holiday 2010. I also like the color combinations of the two 5-Color Eyeshadow palettes. The rose motifs look lovely too.
(Brief thoughts on Dior’s holiday 2011 makeup collection: I was considering buying Dior Celebration Collection Eye Palette after seeing images of it, but I was not too impressed when I saw it in person a few weeks ago. The finishes of the packaging weren’t as good as I expected, and I decided not to buy it. I will save my Boots points for the spring collection.)

When I first came across images of Dior‘s fall 2011 Blue Tie makeup collection, I was instantly attracted to the stunning case of Dior Blue-Tie. Available in two variations, it features four eyeshadows and one lip color. I was not crazy about either of the two color combinations, but, not wanting to get four off-whites in 002 Smoking White, I decided to pick up 001 Smoking Blue with my Boots points.

I do like a bit of color for fall (among all the neutrals and other muted shades), and Sonia Rykiel’s fall 2011 Sensual makeup collection is giving me that. The new Eyeshadow Duos include soft hues, vibrant colors, and sedate shades. The new shades/variations of Mousse Eyeshadow and Cheek Color Powder also inject some fresh colors into fall.

Without a doubt, blue is one of the trend colors for fall 2011. Compared with gray from spring 2011, blue can often offer the same depth but with more vibrancy. This season, it is more about an intense smoky look with blue, but there are also softer alternatives.
A bright cobalt blue, NARS‘ Single Eyeshadow in Outremer (below) is one of the most striking blues of fall 2011. Its matte finish and high pigmentation level will surely please those who go for a bolder look.
