Dior Spring 2010 Collection

Any Dior collection has the potential to get me excited, however Spring is always a front runner for me. I walked past the Dior counter several days ago at my local Macy*s and the first item that popped out at me is the beautiful new highlighter that is being introduced with this collection. And I guess that Dior agrees with me about how special this product is...it is the star product of the collection.

"Fresh and graceful, the Dior Spring 2010 Look is inspired by the feminine beauty of the 1920s. Lace, the ultimate symbol of feminity, has long been an iconic symbol of the House of Dior. Monsieur Dior himself used lace to highlight his evening dresses and John Galliano artfully revisits it today in his creations. This season, lace comes to the Dior makeup collection. The 'Poudrier Dentelle', star product of the collection, is the perfect couture ally to a beautiful complexion. Embroidered with the Dior lace pattern from the powder to the case, it is so elegant that it appears to have been created in the Couture studio, where each detail is carefully hand-crafted. This compact powder adds a radiant glow to the complexion and leaves an incomparably velvety soft veil over the skin. Spring has never been so desirable..."

Here's the collection...

Dior Addict Lip Polish Spin-On Lacquer Smoothing Glow - An innovation inspired by backstage makeup artists, who massage the lips with a wax to smooth and even them out before applying a gloss or lipstick. Its revolutionary and exclusive smoothing roll-on applicator, which takes just the right amount of formula and then rolls it over the lips, provides a delicate massage that boosts the properties of the formula. The sensation is delicious and the finish is even and lacquered. Instantly glistening and radiant, the lips transform with each application. They become suppler, firmer, more comfortable, and perfectly smoothed thanks to the "stretch" formula containing specific oils and amino acids.

It is enriched with a rare and precious Damask Rose essential oil extract, an anti-aging complex, energizing vitamins (A and E), and shea butter for a long-lasting, smoothing effect. It leaves the lips soothed, moisturized, and nourished. Soft and beautifully plump, the lips are more radiant than ever!

Poudrier Dentelle Illuminating Lace-Effect Powder For Face - The "Poudrier Dentelle" is the perfect couture touch for a beautiful complexion. Adorned with the Dior lace pattern inside and out, its elegance comes straight from the couture studio, where each detail is carefully hand-crafted. This compact powder, which comes in a tone-on-tone color harmony of delicate pinks, adds a radiant glow to the complexion and leaves an incomparably velvety soft veil over the skin.

I love it! My favorite item of the collection is by far the Poudrier Dentelle but I also love the collection as a whole. I would love to have both of the 5 Couleur Eye Shadow Palettes, I already own one from their permanent collection and I really like how the shades blend and work together. I want the Dior Blush in the shade for this collection, rose shade work very well for me so I bet that this one will be a winner. Lip product-wise, I would like to get the Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in the new Beige Veil shade. To finish up, I would also like the Vernis in Gris Perle and the Creme de Rose balm.

I think that this collection is one of my favorite of this season.
