![]() The new letters appear to be closer to one another in the new palettes. Once you open the compacts, you see that the initials of Christian Dior, the letters C and D embossed on the center shade are designed again. ![]() Both compacts have 6 g/0.21 Oz of product, so the size remains unchanged.At the back of the quad, now there is a tiny picture showing the shades, which I find to be very useful to get a grasp of it before opening.Opening/closing mechanism stays unchanged.The metal lining around the edges is now a little lower.I think I am ready to sacrifice this effect for a sleeker result. Although I liked this effect of the old palettes, this really doesn't bother me. CD Logo on the frost cover of old quints, which could only be seen with light is not there any more.The Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette retail for $60.00 each and are available at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Ave, Macy’s, Sephora and. I used the blackened navy shade to line the top lash line and the mascara is Urban Decay Perversion. The blackened olive shade is smudged under the lower lash line with Bobbi Brown Sapphire Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner on the waterline. The eggplant shade is used in the crease and blended up. Using all of the shades dry I placed the navy metallic all over the lid leaving the inner corner open to apply the pearly white shade there as well as a highlight.

Of course I told her why I kept asking and we laughed like crazy, because…mature. I don’t want to be crass and say it in this post, but I seriously thought she was saying something else. Like to the point when the MA said the name to me I said “Excuse me?” to her several times. I’m going to be honest when I say that I first looked at Pied-de-Poule because of the name. Two struck my fancy as must haves (because as much as I wanted to buying all 5 palettes just wasn’t happening) – Trafalgar #876 and today’s post of Pied-de-Poule #096.
