Some palettes are meant for sticking in a display cabinet and never being used.
This Limited Edition and very exclusive Lady Dior Palette is one of those. So limited edition that they are numbered.
This newest Dior palette is a work of art, featuring the image of Dior’s latest Lady Dior bag for Spring/Summer 2011- red tweed and blue canework motif that is the signature Dior Cannage design. Dior describes this as a palette of eyeshadows although I cannot quite see how one will wear that red, except as a blush. Still, who’d use this one? Really!
Personally, I’m not quite feeling the colour combination in the bag, but I think the palette looks awe-inspiring simply because of the detail in it. Those blue lines and that Dior charm must have been killer to emboss!
There are only 100 pieces of this collector’s item to be sold in Malaysia and will be available exclusively at Isetan KLCC in September 2011 (price unavailable for now). So if you want this, I suggest you make your reservation with the Dior counter… NOW! 😉
What d’ya think? Does it not bring to mind the delicacy and artwork of the Tailleur Bar palette?

June 10, 2011 at 2:58 pmmy goodness…i’ll have to check on the price and update you later. gee whiz.
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:04 pmI’d estimate it at RM200+ (The Dior Mitzah palette is RM290 so this can’t be very far) and its available in Sept so I think the SAs may not even know what you’re talking about yet! LOL!

June 10, 2011 at 2:59 pmwow… very special… unique! The art is really beautiful! but the colours are not so convenient to be used… But the design is really pretty and detailed~ =D
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:05 pmHaha I don’t think we’re even supposed to use it 😛 I’d use the red for blush though 😀

June 10, 2011 at 4:24 pmIt’s gorgeous! but I always use my palettes!
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:05 pmSame here!
Reese says
June 10, 2011 at 4:31 pmits pretty, and like you, I am not quite sure how red tweed will work out?
blue/red/dark grey, sounds like a palette for “black eye”.
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:06 pmHAHAHA! You are absolutely right about the black eye! HAHa…
xin says
June 10, 2011 at 4:37 pmi think it’s really a piece of art! but unfortunately i will never have the heart to use it or know how to use it
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:06 pmYou and me both!
Hanny says
June 10, 2011 at 4:43 pmIf I get that beauty of a palette it’ll be the closest I’ll be to own a Lady Dior!
But I’m waiting for the little leopard print one.
*P.S: At least I didn’t almost die this time you showed us something pretty and Dior* heh heh heh
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:07 pmHeh the Dior Mitzah palette (leopard print one) is out at Isetan stores for RM290 and they’re limited edition too.
Fruity Lashes says
June 10, 2011 at 5:36 pmi’m so looking forward to this.
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:07 pmCool! I think its launching to coincide with Fall 2011 which I’m also really looking forward to!
Shyra says
June 10, 2011 at 6:29 pmOh my! It looks pretty with the bag design! Can you estimate the price and will they actually entertain your reservation, Paris?
ParisB says
June 10, 2011 at 9:22 pmHey Shyra, roughly estimated at RM200+ and you can probably start making reservation enquiries in July since its only out in Sept (exclusive to Isetan KLCC) 😉
Shyra says
June 12, 2011 at 2:54 amThanks, Paris! 🙂
Jean says
June 10, 2011 at 7:10 pmNot interested with the color, but as u said, who will want to use it?!!
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:07 pmNot meant to be used, that’s for sure!
Tine says
June 10, 2011 at 7:32 pmI want this one. Not to use, but to keep. If I can’t have the darn bag, I can jolly well have this one! 😛
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:08 pmJust get that darned bag Tine! 😉
gio says
June 10, 2011 at 9:44 pmThat palette is a work of art, so beautiful! I’d never want to use it though. 🙂
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:09 pmIts most certainly worth admiring – I can just imagine the attention to detail needed. But use it? Never!
jojoba (My Makeup Reviews) says
June 11, 2011 at 5:55 amit looks nice but the colour might be a problem for me. and i may not want to touch it. i 😛
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:11 pmI think the colour’s a problem for everyone – that red is so bright! But its so pretty to look at 😛
Rainy Days & Lattes says
June 11, 2011 at 1:58 pmSo beautiful! Dior makes such wonderful products. And limited edition? Totally awesome!!!
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:33 pmDior is most certainly stepping up their game! I can’t wait for Fall either. They have some really interesting things coming out!
Sam says
June 11, 2011 at 3:34 pmVery cute and if I had it, I’d almost certainly never use it! Not too sure about the colours though.
ParisB says
June 12, 2011 at 4:40 pmI think most of us feel the same way about not using it and the oddity of the colours used. Matches the bag to a T but unfortunately not very flattering on the eyes.
Amanda says
June 12, 2011 at 3:44 pmIt’s so adorable. I doubt whether I would use it if I ever had one.
lyn says
June 12, 2011 at 11:55 pmAm probably one of the few but I don’t like it. No doubt it’s quite an intricate piece but I honestly do not like makeup that is not functional. I don’t have a problem with the colours individually but as a palette, they just look strange together.
This reminds me of some P&J limited edition lipstick that was shaped as a cat’s head. I can understand that designers like to get creative but please make them practical and user-friendly. After all, folks shell out good money for these items.
ParisB says
June 14, 2011 at 5:04 pmOh yeah I remember that cat head lipstick! I’d never get that because I thought it looked absolutely FREAKY! But this one, I can appreciate the detail in it. I use everything I own, pretty or not anyway but I wouldn’t get this one simply because … red eyeshadow? hello? 😛
