I don’t normally post “haul” pictures, but reader Lee asked what I’d gotten from the recent Dior cosmetics sale so I decided to share. Also, I got some stuff I’d been wanting to try for the longest time, so I don’t mind sharing some pretty pictures :D
I wasn’t there at the sale to get skincare so I picked up only makeup. I got:-
- Dior 5 Couleurs Iridescent eyeshadow palette in Electric Lights
- Diorblush in Plaza Pink and Lucky Pink
- Dior Skinflash in 002 Candlelight
Very modest haul eh? :) I have some bigger pics below of the palettes if you are interested.
I’d been wanting to try Dior blushes for a long time. I could not pick them up at the previous sales because they were always snapped up! This time, I got lucky.
There were only 2 colours there and I picked them both up. #629 Lucky Pink looks a little light but it reminds me a little of Benefit Georgia. I reckon I could make it work for a very natural light blush sort of look. #923 Plaza Pink is brighter but its a colour that I know will work on me. As I said, I got lucky this round! :)
I was not expecting to pick up an eyeshadow palette. Most of the palettes there were pink-purple variations so this one stood out. I remembered Electric Lights from Summer 2009 and since I did not get it then, what better time to get it than during a sale! ;)
Skinflash is a radiance booster pen that is essentially an illuminating concealer pen. Buddy Legeeque raved to me so much about it, I had to grab the only one I saw even if I was worried that 002 might be a little dark. We’ll see. :)
And that’s my haul! I will put up reviews as I go along once I’ve used the products and can form an opinion on them. Do you have requests on which I should start with? :)
Did you go to the sale and did you pick up anything nice? Share your haul! :D

Oooh, pretty blushes! You did get lucky indeed… :D
I know! I was thrilled haha!
oh Paris! how i wish i went, but i was worknig on friday, and i thought by saturday all the worth it stuff would be gone. i wanted both skincare and makeup. =(
i hope the skinflash wont be too dark for you! i’m using 001, naturally =P andi LOVE skinflash. trumps touche eclat anyday. i hate things that start to stink *glares at caudalie grape water*
anyway the blushes look great too! i bought one for my mum (at full metrojaya price) and she lovs it.
having a big problem finding matte eyeshadows tho. seems that the current trend is iridescent.
I suspected there would still have been some good stuff on Saturday – hidden stock maybe? ;) Or sometimes more mark downs. Next time, give it a shot anyway :) Glad to hear another rave for Skinflash. I haven’t broken it out but I will tomorrow. Hope I’ll love it too! As for Matte shadows, I think Make Up For Ever does good mattes. You could take a look there. I personally am not into mattes so I can’t quite help :P
hoo boy, looks like i really missed out. =( sobbers.
and i aint no fan of matte shadows too, but thanks for the tip. they’re for me mam, who says iridescent or glitter shadows are a nono for an older woman like her. says it makes them eyes look puffy.
all southern glamour aside, i shall check out MUFE!
Dior has some eyeshadow palettes with less shimmer too but I think most brands are targetting the younger crowd with iridescent or shimmer shadows. Lucky I’m not too old for them yet! ;)
Me likey the eyeshadows!!! The blushes are pretty too, but why are they, erm, rectangular shaped…. Kinda strange for me to see blushes so thin and long… hahhahaha ^.^
Dior blushes have always had this shape – its not very uncommon. Clinique and Estee Lauder have rectangle shaped blushes too :) Its not that thin too – quite broad. I like this shape in blushes because you can easily dust your brush over them.
How much did you get for that eyeshadow pallate? it looks nice. Do post some picture that u put on those make-up.
I believe retail price is RM189 but I got it for RM70 :)
you believe wrong, woman! the retail price is 195!! so u got a suPER deal!
Omg now I know! Thank goodness no regrets coz other colors didn’t suit me :)
Not modest..GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome Jamilla! :)
wow~!!! RM70 for the eyeshadow palette~!!! T.T
Erm… is that wow “cheap” or wow “expensive”? ;) There were lots of choices this time unlike previous sales. A small but quality sale.
I think it’s a fantastic deal!!! @[email protected]
as in cheap~! from rm195 to rm70 is real steal~!!! >.<
Hello Paris, thank you so much for posting your haul! It is fabulous indeed. The two blushes are from 2009 if I am not mistaken?
And yes, the skinflash is awesome. It has been my HG since it was first launched in late 2004. And yes I use No.2 Candle Light and I am darker than you, I think. I tried the legendary touch eclat but it just didn’t work for me…
Overall I think the sale was a little gem, I was surprised to find a lot of limited edition stuff…I personally bought quite a few…and I was courageous enough to pick up the blue variation of eye shadows after I read your post about putting on blue eye makeup, thanks! My fail proof zone is always purple variation…
To be honest, I don’t know when the blushes are from – they just looked pretty LOL! I can’t wait to try Skinflash and it sounds like you got a pretty good haul yourself :D I hope you enjoy trying out blue eyeshadows. They make me look more alive then purple colours but perhaps its because it suits my coloring better :)
I got the same palette too, at first. Then decided…hmm, since it’s RM130 for 2…..decided to get another….well, another Pearl Glow ;) though I already bought one off the counter. Now that I saw the blushes again, kind of regret I didn’t get them….sigh…….
Ooh you got the same one! Cool :) pearl glow is too pretty no?
I actually bought two of the Pearl Glow *purr* Too pretty to miss!
Paris: Yep, now I have 2 Pearl Glows ;) Too pretty indeed!
Lee: Hi! Really great deal!!!! 2 Pearl Glows for RM130! Much better deal than mine…one was purchased over-the-counter…..arrggghhh!
Wow, what a good buy. Pls do a review when u have time ya. Thanks
I’ll be sure to share once I get round to using them
I like the blushers too! Plaza pink sure looks nice. Look forward to your work look wearing these. =)
LOVE THE BLUSHES!
OMG. When I first started getting addicted to Dior shadows, they were RM185 a pop! Obviously I hadn’t bought in a long time. :P Even at 190, they’re still cheaper than what I’m getting here :(
Gotta stop buying :(
I never heard of Dior sales in Singapore! Nice haul!
There’s a Shiseido and a Benefit sale coming up this week! If I have time, I’m gonna head down to check it out! :)
