Obsession Du Jour: Christian Dior Earthly Refelctions Quint

If you follow me on twitter you know that I have been obsessing over a new eyeshadow quint. It is not new to the world but new to me! It is the Christian Dior quint in the color Earth's Reflection.

I was in sephora picking up some more of the St.Tropez Spray tan (will talk about this later, LOVE IT) anyway, wasnt planning on buying anything else but I passed this and well the rest is history. I swatched it, walked away and went to pay but I had to go back to pick it up. I couldnt get it out of my head. I just love it.



It is so perfect for everyday, the colors are neutral and very versatile. You can do a dark smokey eye, a light smokey eye, sheer washes and tons more. The colors are a soft gold, a taupe (a PERFECT TAUPE), a dark chocolate brown, champagne and a light pink. I don't wear pink but the light shimmery pink really can brighten dull eyes.

The formula is fantastic and you can really tell how high quality it is. They are buttery smooth and the payoff is great from just one swatch.

See the swatches below (they are looking a tad lighter in the photo's then in real life)



The only downside is the price of $58. However, if you are an eyeshadow aficionado you will appreciate the quality and packaging.

Check it out here at Sephora.

Has anyone tried this? Thoughts?

  1. I don't own a lot of eyeshadows, but this is a must have and I have worn this weekly for 18 months or so and have so much product left. It works out to be less than $12 per eyeshadow and for such a high quality product I think it's a good deal.

  15. i totally agree, Dior shadows are SO buttery smooth! I still have my palette which is pretty much exactly like yours except with a light brown instead of taupe and it's still amazing! (I purchased it well over three years ago) xx
