I was so excited about this collection of Dior purples that I just couldn't wait until they arrived in the US. Thanks to Bénédicte , I didn't have to - THANK YOU Bénédicte! ♥ ♥ ♥

They're GORGEOUS in the bottles. But once I saw them in person, how dark they were, I kind of wish I'd waited. I still might have ended up with all of them, but I'm guessing Shadow is the only one that would have come home with me.
The formula on all three was typical Dior. Amazing.
First up,
Dior Orchid. Orchid is a deep red-purple crelly. It applied easily and I used two coats. The photos aren't the best, but they are color accurate. I saw some AMAZING photos of all three of them prior to ordering. Stunning photos. But they showed them to their best advantage for sure and while gorgeous, weren't necessarily true-to-color. So I'm sacrificing quality for color accuracy here because that's what I would prefer.

Next is
Dior Shadow. Shadow is the stand-out in this collection IMO. Formula is amazing and went on smoothly in two coats. It has a gorgeous shimmer that gives it that lit-from-within look. It's very hard for me to call this a purple, but I do have one photo (last one) in direct artificial light that shows the purple hue. You can see it in direct sun or with a flash, but mostly it just reads as a rich coppery brown. Still gorgeous though.

Here's the one showing that it is, in fact, a purple. Unfortunately it really doesn't look like this on - the other photos show what it looks like in most lighting.

And finally
Dior Poison. Poison is very VERY dark purple creme. So dark it reads black on me so it will be relegated to my toes. But my toes will be happy! Application was great on this one as well and I used two coats. You can see the purple best in the last two photos under direct artificial light.

And last, my Les Violets Skittles...

I really don't know when these will be available in the US. I've heard July. I've also heard that one store *might* be getting them exclusively before that. Again, I don't know which store, but I'd guess maybe Nordstrom? Of course it's ALL conjecture on my part right now.
So what do you think of these? Will you be getting them?
