For the โฆ ahem! Animal in you ๐
If you arenโt into animal prints for fashion (and Iโm not) you can still hop onto the animal print trend with the new and exclusive Dior Mitzah Animal Print palette. This palette is inspired by Dior muse Mitzah Bricard whose signature look is animal prints and red lipstick. grrrโฆ ๐
This palette looks less amazing than the Tailleur Bar palette from last year but ultimately more wearable. Iโm told that the colours and pattern on this palette goes all the way through. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Unlike the Tailleur Bar palette however, this one IS available here in Malaysia โ hurray! ๐
The Dior Mitzah animal print palette is available exclusively at Isetan department stores and retails at RM290. Ouches! Yes I know. Its very very limited in number so if you like it, youโre going to have to make a reservation or hurry down to a Dior counter at an Isetan store near you.
Its an eye palette, but I have no doubt that it can just as easily be worn on the face for those who are tanner, as a bronzer. The colours are a little warm for me though, so the odds are I am not quite eyeing this.
I am however, eyeing the Healthy Glow Summer Powder which is due to be released in May 2011! ๐ I love the look of the basket weave design ๐
There are 3 shades available here in Asia โ 001 Aurora for fair skins, 002 Sunset for tanned golden skin tones and 003 First Light which is an Asia Exclusive. From the stock photos, it looks to be a pale highlighter/bronzer/blush which suits Asians who prefer not to look tanned or bronzed, but just with a touch of highlight on the skin. The image above is the Asia Exclusive 003 First Light face palette. [UPDATE: Hereโs my review on First Light]
If you look at the look shown above, I donโt quite see whatโs so electric about the new offering, except for the neon orange nails. There will also be 2 eyeshadow palettes, Healthy Glow Complexion Enhancer, nail polish and Lip Crystal glosses. Again nothing ultimately shocking but wearable for the most part. Will be watching for the reviews of the new Dior collection around the interweb ๐
Are you taken by the Mitzah palette? Or perhaps like me, you prefer the basket weave look of the summer palette? ๐

The Dior Mitzah Palette is exclusive to Isetan department stores and retails at RM290. Prices for the Electric Tropics collection will be advised in due course.

Asia Light. It calls out to me like a siren song.
Help!
ksuan says
First Light is gorgeous, and already I can feel it calling out to me. Oh dear. This may not be good for my wallet at all, and I think my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick might get offended if I were to replace her with another!
ParisB says
Iโm really liking the look of First Light too. It looks light enough to be a highlighter/blush which is what I prefer vs a bronzer. But Aurora looks pretty too with the touches of pink. Thank goodness Shimmerbricks turn me into a disco ball so I can easily use these in place of those! haha
ksuan says
Youโre right, Aurora does look pretty โ but personally Iโd prefer using cream blush first and dusting a thin layer of First Light over it, I think that would be gorgeous ๐
ParisB says
That does sound pretty! ๐ Iโm using my cream blushes with a layer of normal sheer blush for now but really, Bobbi Brown shimmerbricks make me shine like nothing else ๐
Hanny says
Eh! I like the leopard print one!
ParisB says
Its certainly pretty to look at! ๐
Connie De Alwis says
Mitzah! Looks totally hot!
ParisB says
It would be on you! ๐
ALEXUTZA says
Iโm not a fan of animal prints, so the Mitzah Palette is a no for me. The basket weave powder 003 First Light deserves some attention, but pity that itโs just Asia Exclusive. I wish it will be available in Europe too.
ParisB says
According to the press release it was Asia only. But it might creep over to Europe โ its hard to say. Sometimes some Asia only products do end up in certain stores in Europe or the USA. Iโll try to take a look at it when its launched in May and see how it fares in comparison to the other two.
Syen says
Hooboooyโฆ here we go again! *gulp* I think Aurora is really pretty!
ParisB says
Errโฆ oops! ๐
milktea says
Much prefer the basket weave although I expect it to cost a bomb! ๐
Kasia says
the Asian Light looks fabulous โ I wish somebody helped me to buy this oneโฆ. and send to Europe ๐
Nicolle says
I really hope First Light makes it to the US but I am not hopeful ๐ oh well, there is always Ebay. ugh.
lazeny says
I went to our local Dior counter and the SA told me that the Summer Glow Powder and the rest of Dior Summer 2011 Collection wouldnโt be released in our country as well as the whole Asian continent! It will only be released in Europe and US. I told her, however, that based on blogs (w/c I find more reliable than anything else) that Dior will definitely release the collection in Asia and it even has an Asia exclusive item. She said that the โsupplierโ wonโt release anything new on our local counter w/c just irks me to no end. Iโm waiting to see if the SA just got the wrong info and will ask again next week.
ParisB says
Iโve dropped you a line on this ๐
isa says
Iโve been waiting for the leopard Mitzah palette for too long. I wanted this but still seeing no sign Dior from stocking this. Have been told it will arrive in May, I would hope to see it in person because I am a true leopard print lover!
Thank you for sharing. x
ParisB says
I hope you get your hands on the Mitzah palette โ it certainly looks very interesting! ๐
