Dior Summer 2009 – Cristal Collection

April 30, 2009 Paris B 21 Comments

Apologies: For anyone who has been trying to access my blog, we had a little server trouble today. It’s now been rectified. Thank you for your patience!

Dior’s Summer Collection for 2009 has been known by a few names – Bronze Collection, Pop Art collection and Cristal Collection to name just 3. The reasons are clear. Bronze collection because summer is a time when bronzers come out to play and this year, Dior has come up with the bronzer-blush of the year!

2009 will be remembered forever as the year Dior launched the prettiest Bronze Harmonie blushes we have ever seen – Rose Brazilia and Coral Riviera (RM142) – both limited edition. Rose Brazilia is a pink bronze color while Coral Riviera is a warm peach bronze shade. Expect them to sell out quickly.

Rose Brazilia is still in the testing stages for me, but it looks less warm than Coral Riviera and shows up peach-rose. Can you get lovelier than that? I’ll try to post up a review next week.

The Cristal Collection is so named because Dior’s limited edition star item for their Summer 2009 collection is called Cristal Shine – a lipbalm/lipgloss palette (RM185). More pics if you keep reading!

Dior Cristal Shine Lip palette

Like Lady Dior for Spring 2009, the palette is a heavy metal case that has a ring and toggle clasp so you can re-use it as an accessory. The color is Corail Cristal or Cristal Coral – clear peach lipbalm on one side and a red lipgloss on the other.

Dior Cristal Shine Corail Shine

The front of the case has 3 different textures with 3 clear “pyramids” on it. There is another color shade in 002 Cristal Pink/Rose Cristal.

Its not very big as you can see from this picture compared to my camera case and it comes in a cute little velvet pouch.

There are also 2 Iridescent Couleurs eyeshadow palettes – 859 Graphic Light (Limited Edition) and 259 Electric Lights. Graphic Light is going to be pink so I’m guessing its a no-no for me. Electric Lights is a blue-purple which is my sorta colour and since Electric Lights is not limited edition I guess I can wait 🙂  Karen has good pictures of Electric Lights and Coral Riviera. She has compared Coral Riviera to Nars Torrid but sheerer. I just wore Torrid yesterday and I think I made the right choice going with Rose Brazilia 🙂

Another new item is Dior’s Diorshow Extreme mascara that promises to wash out to only hot water. I’m going to let you know how that one goes.

What has grabbed you from Dior Summer 2009?

Which Dior Summer 2009 item grabs you?

Dior Summer 2009 has turned out to be a much better collection for me than Spring 2009. The colors are brighter and that Rose Brazilia blush! Blush girl = me 🙂 Dior has always been a little boring for me but lately, what with the new 5 Couleur Artistry palettes and this summer collection, I’m slowly but surely getting drawn in… help! 😛

Stay beautiful,

Paris

    Are you a makeup collector? 🙂

    I would like to buy some nice high end makeup, but what stops me is because I feel that they can never be finished before their shelf life…I will feel sad if I have to throw them out.

      Hi pf1123

      I’m not a collector per se. I use the stuff I own 🙂 I’m more careful with lip/cream/liquid stuff. I don’t horde those 🙂

    That blush is calling my name LOL! I’ve seen some swatches of the other blush, think it’s more of a coral color, and it looks lovely.

    Will you be posting swatches of the blushes? I recently “got into” blushes so I’m looking around to buy my very first one! (Been using bronzer all this time)

    Thanks Paris 🙂

      Coming right up Renee! 😀

      Swatches are scheduled next week. Its not as coral as Coral Riviera. I don’t have Coral Riviera so I cannot compare them but from viewing the other blogs, I know for a fact it’d be too warm for me. I’ve never been good at bronzers

    Rose Brazilia is definitely tempting me.. which is odd. Since I’m not a big Dior fan.Uh oh.

    I’ve since learnt that mascaras that wash out with hot water work better in countries that HAVE a hot-water tap. I don’t. So it’s inconvenient.

      Hey Kahani

      I usually experiment in the shower – warm water galore! LOL… And do check out Rose Brazilia – you have to be a Dior fan to like it but it helps 😉

    I love the Dior LE lip gloss palettes, although they have weighed a ton in previous collections. I will be sure to check out this years!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
