Dior Holiday 2008’s Black Diamond Collection is gorgeous! Okay, this is just going off of the two products I’ve been able to see so far. Pictured above is the Twilight Quint ($54.00). I also got to check out Black Sequins nail lacquer, which I’ve included a product shot of, but I’ll be showing you a swatch another time (I’m such a tease!).
See swatches!

Must have that quint!
Happy holiday hauling 😉
you are such a tease !!!! Where did you get this stuff from? I have been looking almost everywhere for the new releases and nobody knows anything!!! Do you also have the whole palette Holiday 2008? If you haven’t yet, take a look at the guerlain 2008 winter holiday collection … Such a beauty !!!
Nope, I don’t 🙁 These are the only things I was privy to, unfortunately!
More should come out soon, with holiday collections hitting stores this month and in November.
Beautiful!
I have the Dior Midnight Quad which is equally as nice…just a bit softer in color with more colors in the grey family.
Oh very nice! Sounds like a good quint 🙂
OMG that nail polish! Can’t wait till you post a swatch. It looks like it might be similar to OPI’s new holiday polish “baby its coal outside” but we shall see…. 🙂
I gotta find a spare moment to swatch it AKA when the boy isn’t around. He hates the smell!
I’m not a huge fan of blues but i’m really liking that quint!
I can’t wait to try a look with it!
Hi Christine!When u show any new eyeshadow colour of any brand ,please…… show its result on ur eye just a single colour or tutorial of few colours as u feel easy, rather than hand.just a suggestion:)
Hey Sidra! If I did that, you’d never see it! I don’t always have the time to do a look, so it’s better that I show you some swatches and photos and then, if I can do it, a look, which may not be as timely!
The quint is beautiful… but the polish is really making me drool. lol so sad.
The polish looks so sexy in the bottle!
Hey that one color looks like a pressed version of Lark About. Is it similar? 😮
Also, that nail polish is pretty, but damn it’s been done A LOT already this season. OPI and Sally Hanson Salon brands both have that same color already.
Hmm… kind of, not so duochrome-y, though.
The quint looks great! I love their quints.
The nail polish is nice too but how many versions of black can one person own?
Do you have a favorite quint?
LOL, one for each finger! And toe?
Hi dear please please please show us a pic for the shimmering night diamond powder it’s realy great lookin’ thank you very much dior is the best ever 🙂
I don’t have it, sorry Carla!
yikes..that is gorgeous! *sigh* i have way too many things i want..from the chanel holiday, smoky to dior holidays. my wallet is going to hate me! are you going to get swatches of the other quint soon? and do you by any chance know if these holiday dior are iridescents? thanks for posting this…you just caused me another ‘lemming’ lol.
Holidays are pretty rough this year! I don’t have the other quint unfortunately, so I won’t be able to do any swatching until it hits stores! Hopefully that’s soon 🙂
hey when will this collection be released? thank you =]
Late October, I believe!
Oh how I love the swatches of this quad!
Hope the quad makes it to Singapore!!
Ohh, I hope it does too!!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease swatch the Dior nail polish. Pretty please??!?! lol 🙂
A little tip: I use pigment with my nail polish… you can find pigments in various colors of sheen/glitter – and add them to ANY gloss, nail polish to bump up the look. 🙂
Good call, Didi!!
OMG I am dying at the site of that nail polish!! I’ll swatch it for you if you want to send it to me 🙂 LOL
I already swatched it ;P
Ooh, I love the Twilight quint! Just bought Petal Shine quint because I was sure that the blues wouldn’t suit my pale skin+red hair combo but now I’m having second guesses..
Twilight quint is gorg!! I think you’d love it, Sash!
Simply gorgeous.
I want it lol 🙂
Merry Christmas in advance Christine, and thanks always for this wonderful website ! 🙂
Aww, thank you so much 😀 Happy holidays!
I got this one and it’s the BOMB!
