Review: Spring 2008 Dior Flower Blossom Palette

January 21, 2008 Paris B 3 Comments

I’d been watching out for this palette from Dior for Spring 2008. What makes me happy is that the Dior Spring 2008 makeup collection is already in the stores and its still Spring! Usually we would be lucky to get them in by summer.

Dior blossom palette

Anyway, I finally got a chance to see and test the Dior Flower Blossom palette. Do I like it? Erm… its pretty. You can’t deny it. It is like looking at a watercolour painting with all its pastel shades of a flower garden.

The Dior Flower Blossom palette is an all in one palette containing colours that can be used as eyeshadow, blush and highlighter. The middle colour is a shimmery light pink which makes a cute blush. The blue, green and yellow are in fact iridescent shades. They don’t look like much but when applied on the skin, take on an iridescent shimmer when the light hits it. The base pink/peach colour is a shimmery highlighter.

All in all, this palette is, in one word – shimmery. Definitely not for the faint hearted. I would have a problem using this for a couple of reasons:

  • The colour areas are too small. I tested the colours using my fingers so I got the blue and green and yellow for the eyeshadow colours. If you are using a brush, I’d imagine you’d have a problem if your brush head is too large. The blush shade too requires a rather small brush and I’m not quite sure how you’d be able to reach the highlighter shade unless you are very careful. That said, a light swipe across all the colours might produce a lovely shimmery effect.
  • The colours are too pastel and shimmery. Not for everyone. I for example, prefer slightly stronger shades as opposed to iridescent shades partly because of that now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t colour.
  • It won’t suit all colouring. The colours are so pale that I can imagine them looking fresh and pretty on someone with fair colouring. I can’t quite see it working on someone with a strong tan or darker colouring, as I’d expect it might only show up as shimmer – and there are lots more highlighters out there than this one.
  • Its too pretty! Face it this is just too lovely to mess up! The sales assistant assured me that the colour and shimmer goes all the way through, not just on the top, so I guess we’ll have to take her word for it.

This is Dior’s limited edition Spring 2008 face palette and retails at all Dior counters for RM169.

Pros: A work of art to admire, Lovely shimmer effect

Cons: Colours too light, too shimmery overall, colour areas are too small

    gorgeous! just waiting for someone to review it and u did. actually i feel that the colours will suit those with fair skin. As for me… *sigh* I am tanned, so I guess I’ll skip.

    Just so pretty!! pretty!!!

    But the price is steep tho.

    PB says: Definitely pretty – maybe frame it up as a work of art? lol

    I agree with you, Paris – the colours are way too shimmery for my taste! Poor lasting power as well – I tested all the individual colours on my arm, walked around the shopping complex for a bit, and in less than 2 hours the they had faded 🙁
    Cass: it’s not all that expensive when you compare it with the US price. It retails for usd52 (about rm196!!)

    PB says: Our local prices for Dior etc aren’t as high when compared to the USA. Bit of a surprise but good for us!

    hey this is one palette that’s golden on the outside and rubbish on the inside. i am glad we both think the same. i’d rave it ZERO star though. 🙂 however, i am loving my Dior Rose and Amber Diamond Palettes. those are gems!

I highly recommend the Meso Mask as well for a rejuvenating, hydrating and smoothing boost to the skin. Its a good brand, that I’ve tried in the past and I’m glad we now have it here! 😊

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
