For Spring 2012, Dior created a collection of ethereal pastels that capture the beauty of a flowering garden, and the fun and festivity of a party. Since it arrived in stores in January (I'm a little late) I had already fallen for the beautiful pastel shades. Inspired by Christian Dior's garden in Granville, Normandy this collection embodies the essence of Spring in a most decadent way.
Dior Garden Clutch - $75.00

| Granville Garden 002 |
 |
| Milly Garden 001 (Currently exclusive to Nordstrom) |
I love the idea of a palette with eyeshadow and lip color included, plus the clutch is so cute and beautiful to carry. This is a great palette for when you know you have to turn your day look into a night look and don't have time to go home and change your makeup.
Dior Garden Party 5-Couleurs Garden Edition - $59.00
 |
| Garden Roses 841 |
 |
| Garden Pastels 441 |
As beautiful as these shades are, I swatched them in the store and I think that for me, a woman in my late thirties, they would be difficult to wear but they would be adorable on someone in their teens to early thirties. They are quite shimmery and delicate and for me, they're just too pastel for my taste.
Rouge Dior Haute Couleur, Voluptuous Care - $32.00
 |
| Tulip Pink 448 and Corolle Pink 363 |
I love both of these shades and hope to purchase both. The formula is so hydrating and lovely and the payoff is perfect. Tulip Pink is great for medium to dark skin tones and the Corolle Pink is beautiful on fair to medium skin tones.
Diorskin Rosy Glow Healthy Glow Booster Blush - $44.00
 |
| Petal 001 |
This is a perfect pink blush that adjusts to suit your individual complexion. It's really amazing how this works and I love the effect on my skin. Of course, your results may be different depending on your chemistry so I HIGHLY recommend trying before you buy.
Dior Addict Ultra Gloss - $30.00
 |
Party Lilac #396 and Pretty Rose #452
|
I'm a HUGE fan of the Dior Addict glosses because the formula is wonderful and nourishing. I find that they last longer than typical glosses and the color payoff is amazing.
3-Couleurs Palettes - $48.00
 |
| Smoky Roses and Smoky Garden |
I couldn't find the Smoky Roses collection on the Dior website (or anywhere for that matter) but I'm hoping that it will turn up at my favorite Dior counter because the shades are the perfect plumy rose shade. Smoky Garden is currently available on the Dior website and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will stay a part of their permanent line.
Dior Vernis Garden Party Nail Polish - $23.00
 |
| Forget-me-not #694 and Waterlily #504 |
Dior polishes offer a great formula and you truly get what you pay for. Personally, I find it difficult to justify dropping $23.00 (plus tax) for a nail polish but if the color is something I've never seen before (as in the case of Waterlily) I might be persuaded.
