Dior | Holiday 2023 Collection: Review and Swatches
Inspired by the enchanting Tuileries Garden in Paris, the new Dior Holiday 2023 Collection introduces quite a few stunning limited-edition goodies for the eyes, cheeks, lips, and nails. I've got reviews and swatches of the full collection to share with you today. To read on, click......
Dior | Holiday 2023 Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in "543 Promenade Dorée"

Dior | Holiday 2023 Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette (C$84 for 4 g):
Available in two color schemes representing the garden during the day and night, the Holiday 2023 Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette is etched with an intricate design inspired by the architecture of the Tuileries. "543 Promenade Dorée" contains five shimmers: a pale gold, a soft gold, a golden bronze, a medium bronze, and an icy silver.

"043 Night Walk" offers a pearlescent shimmer, a silver shimmer, a gunmetal silver, a satin charcoal, and a sandy golden shimmer. All shades from both palettes are pigmented and silky smooth. It's worth noting that Dior has slightly changed the packaging of the 5 Couleurs palette. The latch design on the lid is slightly different as compared to before (for comparison, the Rouge Blushes below still retain the old packaging). Truthfully, it's now much harder to open. Not sure why they went with this design change but I definitely prefer the old one better.

Dior | Holiday 2023 Rouge Blush (C$63 for 5.2 g):
Available in two sophisticated shades, the Holiday 2023 Rouge Blushes are also adorned with an intricate decorative design inspired by the Tuileries Garden. "211 Precious Rose" is a soft dusty peach and "621 Splendid Rose" is a muted rosewood. Both have a subtle dash of shimmers but the finish is mostly satin. The powders are silky and smooth and the pigmentation is even and easy to blend.

Dior | Holiday 2023 Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Sequin (C$61 for 6 ml):
Perhaps the most talked about product from this collection, the Holiday Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Sequin is a liquid lipstick packed with festive glitters. I believe this is actually my first time trying the Rouge Dior Forever Liquid formulation in general. Paired with a flattened, teardrop-shaped doe foot, the Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Sequin has a light creamy formulation that's pigmented and easy to apply. Initially, none of the shades look that sparkly but once you press your lips together after the formulation sets, the sparkles reveal themselves, creating a dazzling finish that's not at all gritty. These liquid lipsticks are transfer-proof but they will fade with eating and drinking. They aren't super drying but they also aren't very hydrating either so definitely prep your lips before application.

620 Seductive Sequin: This is a sophisticated rosy mauve packed with rose and gold shimmers.

993 Magical Sequin: A vampy dark purple, this shade contains very pretty lavender and purple shimmers.

999 Sequin: Definitely my favorite of the bunch, this is a bright festive red packed with golden iridescent shimmers.

Dior | Holiday 2023 Dior Addict Shine Lipstick in "211 Jardin Doré"
Dior | Holiday 2023 Dior Addict Shine Lipstick in "211 Jardin Doré"
Dior | Holiday 2023 Dior Addict Shine Lipstick (C$61 for 3.2 g) & Dior Addict Lipstick Case (C$42):
For this collection, Dior released a limited edition shade of the Dior Addict Shine Lipstick called "211 Jardin Doré", which is a semi-sheer nude champagne gold. The formulation is super slick and comfy on the lips, providing a natural shiny finish. In addition to the special shade, Dior also introduced a brand new, limited edition Dior Addict Lipstick Case called "Tuileries" (sold separately). This is a stunning white fabric case embossed with an intricate gold design inspired by the Tuileries Garden architecture.

Dior | Holiday 2023 Dior Vernis (C$42 for 10 ml):
This collection offers three new Dior Vernis nail polish shades. The packaging for the Dior Vernis has also changed slightly from before. The bottles are more angular and the labelling is now more streamlined. The shade name is no longer printed on the front, only on the bottom of the bottles.

209 Mirror: This is a metallic pale champagne chrome. The formulation is very smooth and pigmented and two coats give an impressive coverage with a mostly streak-free finish.

900 Black Rivoli: This is a very deep brown scattered with iridescent burgundy shimmers. I personally wish the shade had more shimmers. The color feels a bit dull as is but fans of vampy polishes will love this one.

218 Dorure: Last but not least is a beautiful iridescent flake glitter suspended in a clear base. The formulation is packed with iridescent glitters that shift between gold and pink. It can certainly be used alone but I think it really shines on top of a darker shade so below are two coats applied on top of "900 Black Rivoli".
