Dior Garden Clutch Palettes Are To Die For

By Angela — March 30, 2012

Dior Garden Clutch Granville Garden: $75

I suggest you walk quickly to the counters and at least take a peek at the new Dior spring palettes. Nordstrom has an exclusive color combination in the one they offer, but I feel they are all equally magnificent. This might be the most beautifully delicate, spring infused palette to be released this year.

I was expecting something precious, but when I took this palette out of the box it took my breath away (just a tiny bit). The “clutch” packaging is more weighty than I had expected. More reminiscent of a vintage piece. This really is a work of art and I very much appreciate a company that goes that extra step to make something of this value and beauty. The outside it adorned with a metal Dior engraved plate and it opens easily by a rose shaped clasp to reveal three very wearable neutral, yet not boring, lightly pigmented pearlescent pastel shades. Behind a small silver door are two pout-perfect lip gloss colors in pink and apricot. The glosses are very sheer, which I prefer this time of year.

Dior has certainly outdone themselves here. Over all, even with the hefty price tag, this item is well worth the splurge in my mind.

    I know! Ouch. Luckily, mine was a gift. Dior cosmetics are an investment, but I've never regretted any of my purchases from them. xo

    I was lucky enough to receive this as a gift. For a collector of cosmetics and a lover of special packaging, this was a must for me. But, if you are just looking for great makeup, there are other palettes of better eyeshadow quality and value. Althought the makeup is good here, I think the real value here is more in the packaging and specialness of it.

    They are gorgeous. I don't think that I have stepped inside a mall in...gosh...5 years maybe? Yeah, I don't get out much. Not that I could walk it much anyway. I also got into a car accident and hurt my spine. I'm hoping one day to be able to have surgery and walk again like I used to, and without pain!!! <3 Dig <3

    I really love the quality of this palette. Dior is not normally my go-to for shadows either (they do make fantastic lip and face powders), but they did a nice job with this. The colors are very light, but I like that for the look this makes. Very soft, creamy and blendable. Thanks so much for visiting! xo

    Can the packaging be any more gorgeous? Wow... I see why there's a hefty $75 price tag on it. I couldn't justify it though. It'll be nice to receive as a gift hehe
