<p><strong><a href="http://www.temptalia.com/dior-cristal-collection-for-summer-2009">Dior&#8217;s Cristal Collection</a></strong> started popping at counters nationwide in the past week or so, and sure enough, my counter had all of the goodness on display last week, too!   I already shared my excitement over <strong><a href="http://www.temptalia.com/dior-pop-diamond-skin-shimmer-for-summery-skin">Pop Diamond</a></strong>, so I&#8217;ll continue on with a full review of Dior&#8217;s newest collection.</p>
<p><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.750749740&amp;type=10&amp;subid="><strong>Electric Lights Eyeshadow Quint</strong></a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.750749740&amp;type=10&amp;subid=" alt="icon" width="1" height="1" /> ($56.00) is a bold combination of blue, teal, violet, and silvers.  The palette will likely catch your eye, even if you&#8217;re not known to head in Dior&#8217;s direction.  Like Chanel, not all Dior quints are made equal, but the overall consensus is they&#8217;re smooth, blendable shadows that feel ultra soft.  All five shades are stunning, ranging from a soft, blue-teal to a duochrome silvery-blue to a bright, medium silver to a delicious sky blue to the stunning deep violet in the center.  Really, there was just no way for me to walk away without buying it on sight!</p>
<p><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.750897921&amp;type=10&amp;subid="><strong>The Bronze Couture Palette</strong></a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.750897921&amp;type=10&amp;subid=" alt="icon" width="1" height="1" /> ($80.00) is a pricey little travel-sized case filled with a few Dior products.  While everything is pretty to the eye, there&#8217;s nothing in this palette that would make me drop the amount of cash they&#8217;re asking.  If I were you, I&#8217;d wait around and pick this up when the price drops&#8211;which Dior has been doing with the past few star products (e.g. <em>Lady Dior</em>)&#8211;if this is on your list.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.750897559&amp;type=10&amp;subid=">High Shine Lipsticks</a></strong><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.750897559&amp;type=10&amp;subid=" alt="icon" width="1" height="1" /> ($26.00 each) were available in <em><strong>Artist Pink</strong></em> and <em><strong>Designer Coral</strong></em> at my local Nordstrom.  (Dior&#8217;s summer collection selection varies from door to door, with some products being Sephora exclusives.)  Artist Pink was a sheer, shimmery/glossy medium pink with warm undertones.  Designer Coral is a sheer, coral-pink color with lots of gloss.  Both are sheer, as the formula is designed to be.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.750897727&amp;type=10&amp;subid=">Ultra Gloss Reflect</a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.750897727&amp;type=10&amp;subid=" alt="icon" width="1" height="1" /></strong> ($25.50 each) was available in <em><strong>Vinyl Coral</strong></em>, which is a sheer more pink than coral gloss with tiny pink microglitter.  Very summery, kind of like a watermelon-y shade.  <strong><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.750897799&amp;type=10&amp;subid=">DiorKiss Gloss</a></strong><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.750897799&amp;type=10&amp;subid=" alt="icon" width="1" height="1" /> ($20.00) was available in <strong><em>Grenadine Syrup</em></strong> at my Nordies, and it is a semi-sheer, thick coral-orange gloss.  It&#8217;s in a squeeze tube, and the texture felt nonsticky to me.   While not included in a swatch (I forgot to take a photo before it chipped), <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.750897891&amp;type=10&amp;subid=">Vernis</a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.750897891&amp;type=10&amp;subid=" alt="icon" width="1" height="1" /> ($20.00) in <em><strong>Bubble Gum</strong></em> is EXACTLY the same shade as <em>Grenadine Syrup</em>, seriously.  I also tried <strong><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.750897842&amp;type=10&amp;subid=">Lip Glow Reviver Balm</a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.750897842&amp;type=10&amp;subid=" alt="icon" width="1" height="1" /> </strong>($28.00) on the back of my hand, but since it&#8217;s a lip balm, it was virtually sheer.  It kind of added a little sheen to my skin, but that was all I could see.</p>
<p><strong>OVERALL</strong>, Dior&#8217;s Cristal Collection offers a lot of fun, summer-y shades of lipgloss and lipsticks paired with an outstanding shade of skin highlighter/blusher as well as a lovely cool-toned quint. I loved the new quint and skin shimmer the most (obviously!), and I would recommend taking a peek at both of those if you&#8217;re able to!</p>
