Waking up to a Dawn Grey in the Dior Cannage palette for Spring 2011

February 14, 2011 Paris B 28 Comments

Here’s a photo of the new Dior Cannage eyeshadow palette for Spring 2011. This is #001 Dawn Grey.

It came a little smashed. Not drunk, just shattered 😉 Lucky for me, it was just the matte black that broke. Unlucky for me, it got all over the palette. I cleaned it up the best I could and took this picture with my Mom standing over my shoulder watching me “work” and she was so upset that it was broken so I had to keep telling her that it was alright. There’s still a lot of colour left. Aww… 🙂 I know we can try pressing it back, but I’ve got no patience and I don’t like the texture thereafter so I never re-press shattered colours. If they shatter, they’re gone.

Still, it doesn’t stop this being a very pretty palette. I know greys aren’t a Spring thing, but I love greys (and I look good in them haah! 😉 ) so this palette is right up my alley! Yay, say the swatches below! 😀

The Dior Cannage palette is actually smaller than the regular 5 colour palettes. It comes in a square quilted case that resembles the signature canework on the Dior Cannage leather bags. The same print is embossed on the shadows.

PLUS the piece de resistance – the absolutely adorable dangly Dior charm.

Sadly I’m a sucker for anything Dior and this matches the Dior bags perfectly 😛

So yes its a pretty palette, but what about the eyeshadow texture then? Honestly, I find it a mixed bag. The matte black that shattered is a lovely soft texture (probably why it broke) while the other 3 shimmer shades tend towards a grittier texture. The dark shimmer grey and light white are quite fine, but the pink tends to be a bit gritty so it does not apply not stick on the skin as well as the other colours. Personally I feel its not quite up to par compared to the regular Dior quints.

Here’s a look I quickly put together.

Note: Depending on the monitor the colours can look a little washed out in some. Its more intense in real life

How I wear this palette is pretty much how I wear any eye palette – matte black closest to the lash line, dark grey smudged on outer corner of the lid, light pink on middle part of the lid and the light grey over to blend and highlight. Lipstick is Guerlain Fuchsia Delice and this is the same look from that review 🙂

I like greys on the eyes so I love the colors in this palette, nevermind that I probably have similar shades elsewhere. They aren’t all in one place 😉

Pros: Lovely packaging, Nice colours more suited for cool toned skin,

Cons: Matte black shatters easily, Shimmer colours have a grittier texture than normal, Limited Edition

So… its Valentine’s Day today! Happy Valentine’s Day and don’t all go and crowd the eating places tonight y’hear? Food is sub-par at inflated prices – wait till tomorrow … says the cynic 😉 If I were celebrating Valentine’s Day, I’d use this palette for the eyes and a lovely red lip, possibly in the matching Rouge Dior Red Muse lipstick. Who cares if it kisses off eh? 😉

Might this Dior Cannage palette have colours you like? Do you re-press shattered makeup or are you like me and just sigh and toss out the shattered bits? 🙂

Dior Cannage eyeshadow palette retails at RM198 and comes in 2 shades at all Dior counters. The shade pictured is #001 Dawn Grey. Limited Edition for Spring 2011

    I saw this palette when I was shopping last week! i wanted to get it but I told myself to wait for your review 😀 Glad I did. Think I’ll get this palette. Love Dior stuff as you would have known 😉 Strangely, I’m wearing Dior e/s today too. The Silver Look duo. One of my favourites. SOft and blendable colours.

    Too bad about the palette D;

    I actually like that they went with greys instead of the pink I see everywhere else.

      Same! I enjoyed the grey because spring is so over run with pinks and pastels that don’t suit many people

      LOL We must be opposites in the colour spectrum because golden browns are my enemy! 😀 Enjoy your Valentine’s Day.

    That is such a nice combo-grey and light pink. It really looks good on you! I need to try that combo.

      Thanks Monstro! Try it. Pink and grey was a combination I never thought of trying before but it is gorgeous! If you want something a little less pricey, take a look at the Maybelline Eye Studio palettes. There’s a palette with this colour combo that’s less pigmented but just as pretty 😉

    The packaging is gorgeous and I love the little charm. It’s too bad the quality of the eyeshadows isn’t as good as the other Dior palettes.

      Yes. It is a pity because Dior eyeshadow quality is usually amazingly smooth. Still its pretty eh? 😉

    Gorgeous palette! As anything else by Dior, since they pay such attention to detail it borders on OCD! I really love their design!

    Unfortunately, I dislike the greys too. It’s not that it doesn’t look good on me, but I think warmer tones go better with my skin tone. On you it looks great, though!^^

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
