Dior Quints: Spring Bouquet and Beige Massaï

I've received several letters from Beige Massaï lovers about my neglect of their favorite palette... So I'm trying to redeem myself. Beige Massaï is one of those rare quints (like Earth Tones) that doesn't contain a white highlight. Though it's not an iridescent palette, I thought the center shade in particular had a nice sheen to it.

Spring Bouquet is "one of the purples," in my book, along with Stylish Move and Petal Shine. The swatches don't really look like Sephora's promo picture, but I think that's just a bit of computer trickery. The top right shade is more periwinkle than it looks; the bottom left is a very taupey, purple-grey brown; and the center and bottom right shades swatch to be almost identical. I don't quite understand the two highlight shades in this quint... It seems like they've given you two of same color.

In my imaginary customized Dior quint, I'd definitely include the bottom left shade from Spring Bouquet.

As always, Dior quints are $54 each.

Thanks for posting! The peach/orange shade in Beige Massaï quint is THE perfect shade to make blue eyes "pop". I would really like to see a custom quint option, that would be a dream come true!

WHOA. Spring Bouquet looks nothing like the promo pic. If I'd known that, well shoot. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't...lol. But I do now, too late!
