Dior ‘Le Croisette’ 5-Color Palette Summer 2012 – Aurora Review, Swatches and Photos

I’ve been wondering whether I should post this review or not, mostly because I don’t think this particular palette is available anymore. I’m pretty sure it’s completely sold out. However I’ve had these photos for a while now, and I made sure not to post them before because I had purchased an extra palette for my dear friend Sefie and wanted her to experience the palette for herself before I had my take on it 🙂

But not surprisingly I purchased it for her because I personally loved it and… well it’s Dior!

This is one of my favourite high end palettes, the pigmentation is amazing as you can see. But what I loved most is how well these colours worked together. I tried my best to use all five colours in this palette for the photos below, and the result was an incredibly bronzed sun kissed look. I was surprised at how easy this look was to create (and how much I loved it). The eye shadows are beautifully milled and blend so well into each other with very minimal effort.

And of course the patterns the eye shadows have been set in are nothing to sneer at either. I’ve never really come across an eye shadow palette that I loved so much, yet was terribly scared to use because I don’t want to destroy the pattern on the shadows, nor use this up. I’ve been through a lot of different high end palettes in my life in beauty and I just haven’t come across a palette like this before.

Again, I feel slightly bad because this particular palette is sold out, but I wouldn’t feel right if I couldn’t honestly tell you how I feel about all the products I use and love 🙂
