Dior 3 Couleurs Tri(O)blique Eyeshadow Palette for Summer 2019

Just when I was thinking I want to see something new from high-end brands here comes the Dior 3 Couleurs Tri(O)blique Eyeshadow Palette Collection. If nothing else, you can depend on Dior for reliability. They are traditional brand with traditional releases and they don’t really veer outside their lane of traffic. But these new 3 Couleurs Tri(O)blique Eyeshadow Palettes are very, very different and quite interesting for the brand!

Available for a limited time and in four different shades ranges each of which includes a trio of metallic, sparkle, and matte shades these new palettes create a unique layering eyeshadow technique to accent eyes. I gotta admit I’m cool with a trio shades and quite comfortable with that amount. I do get confused when someone hands me a palette with five or more shades that I’m actually supposed to use in one look! It can be challenging combining five or more shades. Give me three and I know what to do. Give me five and I’m all:

I like these shades as the colors are ideal for creating a contrasting eye look without a lot of effort. You have a lid shade, a contrasting crease shade, and an accent shade. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Shades:

  • Rosy Canvas
  • Smoky Canvas
  • Earthy Canvas
  • Coral Canvas

Dior 3 Couleurs Tri(O)blique Eyeshadow Palette are $63 and available now.

Maison Margiela Replica Under the Lemon Trees Is A Brand New Lemon Scented You Or Is It?

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.
4 stars out of 5

Maison Margiela Replica Under the Lemon Trees ($126) brings to mind old Love’s Fresh Lemon commercials featuring Donovan’s Wear Your Love Like Heaven. I actually don’t remember the commercial, it was a bit before my time but since Donovan plays such important role in Love’s branding (and I’m a massive Donovan fan) back in the 60s and 70s I hunted down a few videos to watch. I always like to watch vintage makeup commercials on youTube added bonus if they include Donovan’s songs!

Going into my blind buy purchase of Under the Lemon Trees Eau de Toilette I had three ideas of what it might smell like. Love’s Fresh Lemon did come to mind! It’s been years since I smelled it but of course, I remember it at CVS along with Baby Soft. I’m pretty sure I never experienced it when Dana originally created it but I do remember it have a sort of dish liquid lemony fragrance and loving it which leads me into my second, idea of what Under the Lemon Trees might smell like! I was pretty much preparing myself for a liquid hand soap type smell or maybe a Pledge Furniture Polish type of lemon! And lastly, I was wondering if this might be a bit masculine as Replica has been known to make unisex style scents along the lines of Lush Dad�s Garden Lemon Tree Body Spray.

It’s actually none of these three.
