This Dior Bronze Couture Palette ($80) blows my mind! Yep, it’s THAT good! Ok, I’m not going to end every sentence with an exclamaition point lol. Anyway, I must rave to you about this palette. Usually these are little gimmiky things that I skip over and don’t even give a second look to. But when I was at the Dior counter, the lady helping me get my Electric Lights and Pop Diamond wasn’t an actual Dior lady, so she was a little slow. While I was waiting, I swatched this palette just for kicks, and whoa! I was so impressed!

I did a complete look using all 3 of the palette products HERE.

Included in this palette is two brushes: blush & lip brushes, both with caps. And of course the beautiful D for Dior impressed in the bronzer…simply gorgeous!

Read a detailed review of all 3 parts plus close-ups and an Overall Coloruza Rating! 

The bronzer is shimmery, but in the most sophisticated way. I’ve used it as a blush and it’s not OTT at all. It’s silky smooth and a perfect color for my NW20 skin.

The eyeshadow is creamy and looks very gold on the top, but once I used it, there is a more orange color to it underneath. It’s a little darker underneath. It’s seriously an amazing color though, and paired with some gold, orange, or brown shadows, wow what a look! I put it on over UDPP Sin, but without a Paint Pot, it did crease on me by the end of the day. I need to try with Cash Flow PP under it first.

The lipgloss is stunning! It has the most sublime texture – my lips were gliding over each other like butter. I think I reapplied 3 times during the day, which isn’t a lot, so it has good staying power. I just wanted it to look perfect and fresh all day, so I kept doing little touch-ups :-) It’s color is a sheer coral with golden shimmer – pretty sheer, but gorgeous!!

Overall Coloruza Rating: 5/5 for quality; 3/5 for price. Although I do feel that this palette is worth every penny, unfortunately I also feel that an $80 price tag is extremely steep, even for a stellar palette like this one. I think $60-65 would have been much more reasonable for a lot of people, and it’s quite sad that it’ll be passed up by many for this reason. Personally, I LOVE it!

See step-by-step pictures and directions!  Start out with your UDPP, a steak knife, a pot to put the product in (I use the clear MAC ones) and possibly a spatula to scrape out the excess with (the wand from the UDPP could be used instead), and a cutting board.

Cut into the bottle at the thickest part (the bulbus (hehe funny word!)). It takes some elbow grease! You don’t need to cut all the way through – rotate it a little and make sure you leave a little attached because it’s easier to manuver.

Bend the top back. Look at all that product!!!

Scoop out as much as you can and scrape it into the empty pots.

After you’ve scooped out as much as possible, cut off the bottom part.

Still even more product!!!

Scrape out everything you can into the jar!

Look, it’s full!!! Amaaaaazing! :-)

…and the leftovers

Look at how empty it is!

Voila! Let me know if you have any questions! :-)
