Here is a quick look at Dior‘s spring 2010 makeup collection. The star item of the season is the face highlighter Poudrier Dentelle. The eyeshadow palettes have some delicate lace details. I personally find them to be slightly too ornate, so these items do not particularly appeal to me.
The collection includes:
– Poudrier Dentelle (above, 2 variations)
– 5-Colour Iridescent Eyeshadow (1 new variation)

– 5-Colour Eyeshadow (1 new variation)

– 2-Colour Eyeshadow (1 new variation)

– Crayon Eyeliner (1 new shade)

– Dior Addict High Color (4 new shades)

– Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect (2 new shades)

– Dior Addict Lip Polish (1 new shade)

– DiorBlush (1 new variation)

– Dior Vernis (2 new shades)

– Cream True Rose (SPF 10)

– SkinFlash Primer

(All the items in this collection are limited editions except Dior Addict Lip Polish, Cream True Rose, and two of the Dior Addict High Color shades.)

I stopped by Selfridges earlier this week and spotted items from Thierry Mugler‘s makeup collection. The items were displayed alongside Thierry Mugler’s fragrances in the fragrance hall.
There were only a few items (for eyes and lips), and there were no base makeup products. It seems that these items are marketed in the UK as a limited-edition holiday collection. (Thierry Mugler Beauty’s Facebook page has more information on the collection.)
If you are interested in Thierry Mugler’s makeup items, do have a look at this great review written by my friend Lynn.

(Pearl Powder in 01)
In October, I featured information on Paul & Joe‘s holiday 2009 collection, which includes makeup, fragrance, and bodycare products. Today I am reviewing two items from the collection as well as Pearl Powder in 01 (released in 2008).

Pearl Powder is a loose powder eyeshadow that feels soft and lightweight. 01 is a sheer pale beige with a very light-reflective pearly finish and multi-colored shimmer. It goes on much lighter than how it looks in the jar, and it is a brightening color that doesn’t create a shadow. It mainly shows up as a veil of pearly shimmer.
It can be used as an eyeshadow base if you like quite shimmery eyeshadow bases. Also, as a pale beige that happens to be quite sheer, it can also be used very light-handedly as a highlighter for the face or as a shimmering powder for the body.

Pencil Eye Liner in 001 is a dark blue-black. It has a velvety finish with a hint of shimmer. It goes on relatively smoothly and is waterproof. The staying power is satisfactory. (There can be minimal movement after a day’s wear.)

It is lovely to see purple, one of my favorite colors and a trendy makeup/fashion shade in the last few seasons, used in Paul & Joe’s holiday makeup pouch for 2009 (Pouch C IV). The purple goes well with the gold, and it nicely shows off the satiny sheen of the fabric. As I mentioned in the earlier post on the collection, I would have liked the gold pattens to be a little more delicate.
Paul & Joe’s holiday 2009 collection also includes two eyeshadow palettes, two new Pearl Powders, the other (of the two) Pencil Eye Liner, and two highlighting powders, and all these items, along with those two reviewed above, are limited editions. On the other hand, the new Lip Lacquer, the re-launched fragrances (Blanc and Bleu), the new bodycare items, and Cosmetic Pouch III are regular items.
