I definitely want the lilac quint and the shimmer powder! So pretty! Might also get the blue quint as I don’t actually own anything blue from Dior, but will see. Money’s bit tighter than usual due to my husband not working. 🙁

You can find swatches for the eyeshadows already by searching on google, but I am soooo in love with electric lights. I have too mant blue eyeshadows.. but I still might get this one!

I was at our local the Bay, and they had already sold out of the Harmony blushes, something that is very sad because I wanted to get one… oh well, makes me save up for electric lights!

i’m happy that this summer season we’re not just doing bronze/gold again… the last two summer collections, although some of my favorites, seemed to be like sisters, since the color tones were primarily the same. finally another “colorful” summer collection <3

Electric Lights Quint would be very hard to work with. Blues in general is hard; you have to find the right shade for your skin, and a good combination too much blue, and it can look very ‘slappy’ I love the other pallet, though!

If I could afford Dior, both of those Quints would be mine. They are GORGEOUS! Such fantastic colours together. I can think of a dozen ways to wear each of them. And I love how one is for a more bold look and the other for a softer look. *shakes fist* I WANT.

I think Electric Lights LOOKS amazing but I know I wouldn’t use it nearly enough to justify buying it. Pearly Lilac on the other hand… (actually would probably end up being used half a dozen times like Petal Shine was – I still like it tho, so maybe…)

The Pop Diamond I’m going to have to swatch before I decide – I was hoping they’d go for more apricot peachy shades… but then, since I already have the other three…

Add to that I just bought another bottle of the DiorSkin Nude foundation, plus the powder and a Plum Lurex Ultra Gloss Reflect Gloss last night maybe it’s a good thing this isn’t out for a while!

I only have one Dior quint and that’s because I bought it from someone at makeuptalk forums… for about $10 if you can believe that!! Otherwise I would never spend over $50 for one of these. 🙁 They are suuuuper pretty though. *sigh*

To those who are saying Dior quints are expensive: the quints might cost $50, but you get 5 colours, whereas you buy 5 eyeshadows from Mac for a lot more than $50… And this is DIOR! Top quality eyeshadows and beautiful colours! Think about it. 😉

OK so yesterday I was at DIOR make up counter and they had what the girl told me a “new” collection out. It looked a lot like this collection that doesn’t come out until summer. I ended up getting one quint called Sky Blue and one lip gloss – kind of a coral color. The collors are suspiciously similar to Electric Lights Quint, instead of that deep purple in the middle i have a frosty white color, and instead of that darker blue i have a pretty neutral- everything else is the same. How convinient?

I love the middle shade in Electric Lights quint. Does anyone know of dead-on dupe for it? I don’t want to spend over $50 for just one shadow.

Suzanne Avatar

Both of those quints are gorgeous!! I am so glad I have held off on buying a quint because now I can splurge on the Pearly Lilac one and not feel guilty about spending all that money!

Hey Christine, I was looking at another website, and apparently there is also a Pink quint coming out this summer as well, do you know anything about that? Its like the Electric Lights quint, but just in shades of pink.

Dior is coming out with a quint collection in June. I believe there are 3-5 quints in it, but I don’t have details at the moment. My counter had a book out with it for everyone’s perusal, but my memory is that of a gnat. I’ll see what I can dig up, though!

Hi Christine,

I just wondered if you could tell us where in the world to find the Pearly lilac quint. I know I asked it before (above) but it isn’t online and my Neiman Marcus doesn’t have a Dior counter and doesn’t know where to find one! Any ideas for me? Thanks so much!
