Would love to see you do a series of truly neutral or neutral leaning cool makeup. Like you did with the bronzers. So truly neutral eyeshadow pallets, blushes and lipsticks with liners. Always have trouble figuring out neutral undertone.

Oh good idea! I'll start brainstorming that idea now ❤

LOVE the Hermes Blue eyeshadow pallet!

[@AllisonChase]

It’s on my wish list 🤩

[@TrishEckert-tf5cg]

Recently bought the Guerlain primer and foundation...gorgeous, even on mature skin. I will definitely add some of these new products to my collection. Guerlain is pricey but it is a quality brand. Getting tired of just paying for packaging and getting mediocre quality from some well advertised brands. Thank you for your comments and not being afraid to say no merci.

I love Guerlain, great quality!

Buy the Hermès blue palette! I have it and I love the Hermès formula. I think that is your best option. I have three of the Hermès eyeshadow palettes and I'm not sorry at all that I splurged!

Hi Allison! Loved this episode of "luxury will I buy it"! The Chanel summer 2024 collections look adorable, and I'm with you on the cute packaging. The Dior Paris collection sounds amazing too - I'm torn between the blue eyeshadow and the practicality of the Saint-Honoré. Your insights on Guerlain and Victoria Beckham products were super helpful. Thanks for the great reviews as always!

[@exomake_mehorololo]

I'm curious when more fall collections will come out. 😊 I'm not planning to buy much BUT I've been thinking to maybe get a purple /pink and green quint /quad that are wearable and easy to use. Like the green from Cle de Peau, for purple I want neither too warm/red nor too purple /frosty but more soft and neutral. Hence why the new Dior might be an option. I'm also thinking the Chanel single shadow in d'ore? and one of the loose shadows. Oh and I wanted to check out Chanel lips 😅I saw an old vid where someone swatched Cecile and Maggie shades that looked beautiful for fall. When I think fall I'm more feeling muted mauves /purples and greens rather than pumpkin orange. I do love vibrant orange, bright green and sparkles when I'm in Halloween mood 😁 but you know when I want to look chic it's not ideal

[@AllisonChase]

I know what you mean! Some shades pull weird and give off a Halloween vibe! Haha Well if you want purples, stay tuned for more Chanel in the next few months...I heard it from a friend of a friend.

[@Lisskupo]

There is no way that a powder eyeshadow expires in 6 months. I need to see the scientific data on that, CD. 🤓

[@AllisonChase]

@@elisasilva5621 It definitely is part of their new "clean" strategy.

I wished the Dior colors were more daring. I also think these are baked gelee formula ( my favorite) which has not been reformulated so there a good chance they won’t expire in 6 months. 🤞

[@AllisonChase]

Oh I remember that formula, it was gorgeous. Years ago for a holiday release they did a rainbow quintet that was my absolute favourite 😍

[@susanfox4058]

Hi Allison! Loved the sneak peek of all the upcoming new releases. I recommend the Dior blue palette over the Hermes as the Dior is limited addition, it comes with that adorable pouch, and I believe it is less expensive than the Hermes. I don’t know if the Hermes is limited addition either. I love both Chanel sets as well which I’m considering picking up. Thanks again for the interesting video!! Susan

[@alya27092]

Hi Allison, I have the Hermes blue pallet (actually I have 5 of their eyeshadow quads) and is gorgeous. I will never pick Dior instead of Hermes because the formula is much better in Hermes eyeshadows (beautiful colours - they look even better on eyelids, silky texture, very good pigment payoff), stay on all day - absolutely no fade, longer shelf life and refillable. I noticed that you ordered the Dior quint, so you already made a choice. I don’t like cream/liquid blushes or eyeshadows no matter what brand are. I am curious about the new Armani foundation and the powder from Guerlain. Thanks for sharing!🙂

I was interested in the Champs-Elysees quint from Dior until I saw a UK creator demo it. It's very pretty, but not saturated enough for me (not even the burgundy shade). Now I am thinking I am more interested in the coral, warmer Dior quint, but unfortunately the sad Sephora store in my area never has the limited editions in the brand to try. Have you ever considered trying the new Byredo Desert Rose palette? It is warmer, like the Dior quint. I'd be so interested in what you think of the Byredo makeup products. Thanks for sharing.

I haven't bought anything from Dior since they starting altering all their formulas. They couldn't leave well enough alone and expecting me to pay $60+ for a product and expect to throw it out by the 6 month mark, they must be dreaming.

[@maa6507]

I'm thinking that while the new Dior eyeshadows will last longer than 6 mos they probably won't last as long as the older versions. Most of those were 18 mos and we've all used ours longer so I think the new will last past their date but still a shorter duration. My understanding has always been for food, etc. the exp date is in advance of the true exp. date for various reasons so based on that I've always given myself extra time particularly with powder products.

[@liisabjork76]

The expiration dates on beauty is required . So having to put a short expiration may help get their inventory to be purchased more often. Theyay rely on those people who are religious to following expiration dates to rebuy the item or a new item. Im sure they could have easily put a 12 momth expiration. They know most people will continue to use their products after expiration. So why not shorten it. But when there is SPF in a product that SPF will expire in one year or 2 years. SPF will start breaking down and lose its effecacy.

That's so true, most people do use them past their expiration date.
