Dior Minaudiere Holiday 2010 Makeup 1

.

I always look forward to Dior’s seasonal limited-edition star items, especially the ones for the holiday seasons. Dior’s Minaudière palette from the brand’s holiday 2010 makeup collection didn’t disappoint me after I saw it in person. (I also like its very long full name: Dior Minaudière Makeup Must-Haves for Radiant Eyes and Lips Eyeshadow and Lip Gloss Palette. This must be some sort of a record…)

The palette has a nice size and thickness and feels quite weighty and substantial, and I like the chic vintage design. I also like the fact that the fingerprints left on the black textured surface of the case are not that visible. (I can’t really play with some of the past limited-edition items as much as I want to because of their glossy reflective surfaces…)

The palette closes magnetically and not with the clasps.

Kanebo Coffret D'Or Spring 2011 Website 1(images from www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/coffretdor)

.

After revealing the line’s revamped makeup line for spring 2011, Kanebo Coffret D’Or also revamped its official website as additional information on the spring 2011 makeup collection went up. You can also see the five new brand ambassadors for the line. Check out this page to see the items that each of them is wearing.

To be honest, as a group, I much prefer the five original brand ambassadors, who, for me, had a better mix of looks and styles while all looking elegant and sophisticated. (I don’t think the new brand ambassadors are styled as well as they could be for these images.)

Have a look at the TV commercial for Coffret D’Or’s launch collection for spring 2008 (one of my favorite TV commercials for the line), featuring the five original brand ambassadors:
