Dior Incognito swatches

The final lot of Dior palette swatches today and today's offering is Incognito, a palette that generally doesn't seem to get a lot of love. I must admit, compared to the other palettes I've swatched the shades do look pretty boring and uninspiring. 

Incognito is the palette I use the most out the ones I own though and is the only palette I've ever used up entirely and repurchased. The five mainly matt, fairly pigmented shades are perfect for creating natural, polished eye looks and blend brilliantly. Lasting power is also fantastic even without an eye shadow primer.

I personally love Incognito, it's my go to palette when I want to create a simple eye look that doesn't require much effort. If you're after a neutral palette of shades which blend and wear well, I highly recommend checking Incognito out. 

Dior Goldfever Swatches

Another lot of Dior swatches and today it's Goldfever. The iridescent palette contains five shimmery champagne and taupe shades that complement each other perfectly. All five shades are pretty sheer and leave a subtle wash of sparkly but non glittery colour on lids. I find myself reaching for Goldfever a lot, mainly to use the lighter shades as a highlighter but the taupe and Iridescent plummy brown are perfect colours for creating quick and easy eye looks.

The palette was released back in 2008 and was limited edition but after searching around online, it seems it's still available from a few different places. While the colours in Goldfever aren't particularly unique and a couple of the shades are quite similar I'd still recommend searching around for one if you're a fan of champagne shadows, I don't think you'll be disappointed with it.

Dior Mystic Jade Swatches

Some more Dior swatches for you. Today, Mystic Jade. Another palette that I've not actually used much at all and another slightly weird combination of colours that I seem to have trouble using. The safe taupe/grey shade I tend to use quite a lot and I occasionally find myself using the shimmery peach but the other shades don't get a lot of love.

I attempted to photograph what some of the shades form the palette look like on but I had issues getting some of the colours to show clearly.

Does anyone else own Mystic Jade? Anyone have any suggestions on where to place the colours?

Dior Night Dust Swatches

Just thought I'd post a couple more swatches of the Dior palettes I photographed a couple of days ago. Night dust is a palette I've had in my stash for ages and unfortunately it doesn't get used often. The combination of shades are different to other Dior palettes I own in the fact that they don't really seem to complement each other that well. Maybe it's just the way I use/apply them?

I find the glitter in the black shade to be a little bit too chunky for my taste and the mauve has too much blue in it for my liking. I do find myself using the rich brown shade fairly often though and despite the colours not being quite right for me, they do apply and blend really well and lasting power is excellent!

Dior Iridescent Leather Swatches

The sun was shining yesterday so I thought I'd use it as an opportunity to photograph some swatches of a few of my Dior eye shadow palettes. Iridescent Leather was released as part of a fall Dandy collection back in 2008 and is a palette I tend to use a lot. The warm, neutral, shimmery shades are perfect for creating natural but polished everyday looks or for building up to create a more intense eye. 

As with most of Dior's eye shadows, Iridescent Leather is nicely pigmented, blends amazingly well and is really long lasting. The five individual shades complement each other perfectly and can be used in a variety of different ways.
