DIOR EYESHADOWS REFORMULATED?? 😳 LET'S SEE IF THEY ARE STILL GOOD...comparison with SOFT CASHMERE

[@grazsts3005]

Don't we love when makeup brands fix what is not broken?

[@stacibee224]

Right?!? 🤷‍♀️🫠

[@sarahnoelle8448]

And when it’s broken and they don’t fix it… 😫

[@annageber4954]

Well, they probably save money, find cheaper ingredients

[@VegaChastain]

@@annageber4954 this is not what Dior is about, they'll go to the ends of the Earth to find a more expensive ingredient 😆😆

[@tinac273]

and now the backstage foundation 😩

[@PlanningNerd]

We're really getting screwed with this clean beauty thing. It has no legal base, they can just remove whatever ingredients they want and say their products are clean. And mostly, that's preservatives that are well-studied and very efficient, like parabens. Those get replaced by less-well studied, most recent preservatives that aren't necessarily as safe/more safe for us, but they are also LESS EFFICIENT. All the expiration dates are getting shorter, so we'll have to replace and repurchase faster, spending more money on something that doesn't do anything more for us.

[@MsBNoodle]

Yeah so we buy more ... its a con

[@DeborahCarlston]

I had to throw away thousands of dollars of "clean beauty" products after the pandemic. The foundations and concealers, in particular, went bad in just months. I Want preservatives in makeup!. Now I'm actively looking for them. The phrase "clean beauty" drives me away.💚

[@lyra2282]

So true. Preservatives keep us from contracting bacteria and goodness knows what else from our makeup! They are incredibly important. People who don't understand science and how studies are conducted parrot these insane talking points or reference EWG which is a complete and utter con.

[@LisaF_]

Amen! I really hate this trend. You nailed it. It’s a bad deal for consumers.

[@MusingOnBeauty]

@@DeborahCarlston I totally agree! Am very annoyed at Dior right now.

[@lyra2282]

Sofia, thanks so much for doing this review! Incredibly helpful. That new dark matte is a travesty honestly, especially at this price point. My takeaway: buy backups of all my favourite quints, and then say good bye to Dior makeup.

[@melbygrace]

Funny that I saw the difference immediately. I don’t always notice. Softer and less contrast with the new. I definitely have concerns about the lack of smoothing. Lots of us older folk care about that. Crepey lids need a smoothing formula.

[@AM-ry4px]

I’m not a fan of clean beauty tbh because I buy A LOTS of makeup, and I don’t like the fact that my makeups can go bad within 1 year. I keep eyeshadows and blushes for years, so sad to hear this😞.

[@toriandjojo2018]

Absolutely agree-for one they are an investment and second it really takes me that long to use it! I feel like if it isn’t liquid or mascara that should be fair!!!

[@selenachan4230]

Ive kept stuff powders for years, decades. They're still working

[@loytoco]

Looking at them side by side on your eyes, I think the result is not even close. The old formula was perfection, to me: easy, durable, with no effort one would get a sophisticated and impactful look. Now, the look isn't bad, but it isn't "wow", either. There was a price increase in Europe. We went from paying 62 euro, to then around 66, now it's 71 euro (EDIT: it seems it varies from 69 to 71 depending on the country), which is around 76 USD. It's crazy, even more so considering the economic situation in Europe. We started getting the new price with the Summer collection. I really don't like this, and I am a bit sad about it. It's just make up, but still. I watched a couple of other reviews and it seems that the matte is generally patchy. Also, the shimmers swatch better than they perform on the eyes, I think. At least looking at them through the video. I love Dior, but this is just not the right move fo somebody like me. I have to save up to eventually buy a palette, I am not going to save up to buy an "ok" palette.

[@Lighthouse1852]

I guess Dior needed to find the $20 million for Johnny Depp somewhere...

[@katerinapalai8573]

I totally agree.. i bought the summer edition palette and i didn't like the feeling, it feels like i'm putting a cheap eyeshadow and in order to have the colour pop i have to apply more.. and then because i have hooded eyes it creased....it ruined my love for them..

[@loytoco]

@@katerinapalai8573 I have hooded yes as well, and the old formula never creased on me. I was afraid this new one would, thanks for confirming that. I liked the look of Eden Roc so I swatched it in store when I got the chance, but didn't buy it, because it felt different, too "powdery" and I had the feeling it wouldn't work for me. At least we can still enjoy the older quints we have!

[@Ninyth]

If they do not reduce the product amount AND the price for “clean beauty” the hole concept of clean beauty is a lie. This amount of products and plastic casings that is thrown away after 3-6 months because of shelf life and product amount we are used to get for the pice is NOT CLEAN at all 😢 . It is devastating for the environment and consumers money

[@toriandjojo2018]

Yep! I agree! Plus they make the compact larger to store those tiny brushes that are just a nuisance in the way to me! So the extra plastic plus the brush that is a total waste

[@jenna-lynroman4127]

Yep. I'll just use the boatload of Dior quints I picked up last year and I won't have to worry about getting any of these until my next life.

[@KarenHunt1]

The new color looks more neutral, where the old formula is cooler. Thanks for another great review ❤

[@jessabeauty917]

Preservatives need to be a good match for the formula. A preservative wouldn’t necessarily be removed solely because it’s bad or not clean. Thanks for this review and for being courageous to address ingredients!

[@jocelynel-fab5214]

Thank you Sofia for reviewing the new Soft Cashmere quint (in spite of having recently purchased it in the “old” formulation - bonus: it does make for a perfect comparison). You asked so, I agree that the “old” side looks better - more intense and more pop. (Question: was the difference still visible after 3-4 hours?) My main concern is with corn starch; in addition to being an inexpensive powder-base for pigment, it is an allergen for many people, in addition to having a much shorter shelf life than talc. I wonder if Dior’s (sorry, DIOR’s) reformulation was dictated by new or upcoming EU rules regarding cosmetics.

[@kateboy-rx6jt]

I was in my local Dior boutique yesterday & the SA said they are also reformulating the whole Backstage line as well as the blushes, so if there's something you love I'd get it whilst you can.

[@tracysmith6865]

Wow! Great review of the original versus the new palette! Greatly appreciate all the research you did analyzing the differences. Looking at how they look on your eyes highlights just how badly Dior has done, once again. The older formula looks so rich, while the newer formula looks like it’s already halfway worn off. No comparison! I love my Dior eyeshadow palettes! Looks like I’ll need to gather all the ones I can find!

[@ttnajjar1]

The old formula leans more cool/ purplish on your eye. The new one is softer and leans on the warm side. They both look great on you. It depends which formula you like better. Dior quints have always been soft. It is a French brand. “Simplicité fait la beauté.” I have so many quints from Dior, so I don’t believe I will buy anything soon. But, I always need new eyeliner and mascara.

[@catporter8417]

I like the color of the old formula so much more!! Thanks for this thorough review, Sofia!

[@tarski7420]

Awesome comprehensive review, thank you so much! You’re right the older formula looked more smoothing on your skin in the hand swatches, and the newer formula showed some lines,…which makes me nervous for mature eyes :/ on a side note, that colour palette looks amazing on you!

[@melissabridge5687]

Clean beauty cracks me up. I products really wanted to be clean they would all be fragrance free. Fragrance is the #1 reason people end up in a dermatologist office with a rash. Essential oils are fragrance and only fragrance.

[@lorrinatreadway2938]

Thanks Sofia for all your hard work. I really appreciate your comparisons.

[@luxesbeauties]

Thank you for this very helpful comparison review Sofia! I prefer the look of the old formula... more saturated and pigmented shades, more impactful metallic shades and the biggest difference is of course with the matte shade...I also dislike the new packaging/opening and the fact that we no longer get a pointed foam tip applicator, not that I use them often but prefer to get them... not a good move form Dior!

[@zosemabubble7825]

Those pointed foam applicators are great for using with the darker shades as eyeliner I've been doing that for years so will really miss them.

[@lindseyp2305]

I immediately clocked the difference. I’m not a fan of the new formula. I’m also not a fan of the “clean” movement because it seems rooted in fear mongering and misinformation. Thank you for the side by side!

[@dreicher]

Thank you for your honest review. It definitely appears that the new shadows accentuate fine lines. Fine if you are young with firm skin. Super bad for anyone with fine lines and worse for looser skin. Also, I say go green all the way or go home. These are a total pass for me...just like the reformulated Chanel Joues Contour blushes. Ugh.

[@mmjmjj]

Thank you for the comparison. Just ordered the old soft cashmere. I could definitely tell the difference on your eyelids right away.

[@savanah1407]

I respectfully disagree. I love multiple Dior products but if they reformulate and their new formulas or components are not good- then I do have a choice. I’ll no longer spend my money on them. There are plenty of luxury brands to choose from. I really like the idea of clean beauty but not at the cost of performance. My personal experience with Dior reformulating the Forever Skin Glow foundation was not good. It used to be my go-to, # 1 favorite foundation that I repurchased time and time again. Unfortunately, the new formula caused me to break out and didn’t even look nearly as good on my skin as the old formula did. So i have been spending my hard earned $ searching for my new “holy grail” foundation from other brands. Guerlain, Chanel, Haus Labs.

[@Искра-у9ь]

absolutely agree here. had the same experience with reformulated staff. Also corn starch get me break out. Goodbye Dior cosmetics...

[@MikiCarrBeauty]

Same experience. I loved the old Dior foundation formula. I tested and reviewed the new cleaner reformulation, both the matte and glow, and they were terrible on me. I’m fine with cleaner beauty if the performance and quality is the same or better.

[@LisaF_]

This happened to me too! The old Forever was my holy grail. I didn’t even care about other foundation releases. They made it “clean” and it then broke me out. I was so disappointed! Ugh!

[@AmyGodBlessAmerica]

Clean is meaningless, unregulated and ticks me off. Other beauty products aren’t “dirty” and clean can be irritating. Everything is a chemical. EVERYTHING. Love your channel. ❤️💄

[@kateboy-rx6jt]

Just like I don't buy Chanel blushes in the core line anymore, I now won't be buying Dior eyeshadows. I bit the bullet today & bought a back up of Soft Cashmere in the old formula. Have seen 3 reviews now & the conclusions have been the same. I'll treasure & enjoy the quints I have.

[@silverstargirl20]

Can you plzz share where did you buy the old formula ?

[@corporatebeauty]

As always thank you for the in-depth yet concise review Sofia 😊 After this review, I went out and purchased some of the old formula quints (poncho and soft cashmere) before they completely disappear from the market.

[@CarryOn-Janet]

Safflower oil (such a great oil for food and cosmetics) is becoming more expensive and rare. Ukraine was one of the main producers of safflower (sunflower) oil on a global scale. So I'm guessing it's more of an economic choice that Dior has decided to cut it out of the formula.

[@nicolebader4612]

I agree with you. The old formula is more vibrant and shinier.

[@DeborahCarlston]

This comparison makes me think that Eden Roc and Rivage were the newer formula. They were powdery, I didn't like the finish and returned them both. The finish is prettier and more elegant with the old formula. Dior just saved me a lot of money. Also, I hope this is an anomaly, but I have been wearing the new reformulated Chanel polish since Sunday, and I'm getting more chips. I hope this isn't a trend. Thanks for the review!💚

[@lauraannruocco1876]

I have Eden Roc in my cart and was about to purchase. Decided to check out this review first because I wasn’t sure if it was old or new formula. I’m guessing I should save my money, huh? 🤔

[@DeborahCarlston]

@@lauraannruocco1876 You can always return it, if you get it at the right store, if you don't like it. I just found it a bit powdery, and I can put together a better eye look with palettes I have. For instance, with a navy liner, I can get a similar look with palettes I have by Natasha Denona (Glam and Mini Nude) and some I have by Viseart. Plus I like the finishes better. But I have a huge makeup collection. If you don't, and you don't have those colors, you may love it. Just get it somewhere that takes returns. Macys even had it on sale. Plus there's a blue, metallic Eden Roc nail color which was so different I kept it. Good luck with whatever you choose.💚

[@magdalenaubaldo1999]

Wonderful video Sofia Thanks Yes for someone that doesn’t know could not see the difference but YES the old formula appears much more beautiful on the eyelids 😊

[@debwoowoo]

I like the old formula better. More vibrant!! Thank you for this.❤

[@napoleonwhimsy]

Thank you for your honesty. I will skip out on the reformulated quints unfortunately. They both look good on you, but I prefer the old one for sure. I don’t like how the new one accentuates the lines on your hands. Doesn’t bode well for my crinkly eye.

[@mariam.a.]

Damn, I could almost immediately tell which side was the OG formula. I am so happy to have bought this palette in the old formula. It is my only Dior quint and by the looks of it, it will be the last. This is certainly not an improvement.

[@akatz6566]

your boyfriend is spot on-shinier and more pigmented with the older formula. Also the lid metallic appears more taupe.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes you are right! The color is a little different as well as the shine impact

[@kathleencoomans8210]

I actually think the idea of becoming ‘clean’ is a way for companies to make even more money. Clean formulas are renowned for literally going bad and mouldy therefore if this happens it forces those of us who used ours for a lot longer than recommended without any problem, to buy new if we want to continue using the product….

[@AlyHollywood]

I would love a comparison of the forever foundations as in the matte, glow and the natural one which is sold exclusively on dior website that I have only seen there unlike the other two which I’ve seen at other retailers. Also their new primers that go with them. Especially since the shades they come in I see the number of choices varies between the different formulations…. I think there is also another forever formula that comes in a squeeze tube but not sure if it was still available or just had not been removed from their website. Also would love a video explaining the different dior lip glow products. I see some now are gloss some I think are actual lipsticks and some are plumping but all have very similar packaging and kinda a bit confusing what is what and which do what to know which to buy and would give the results a shopper would be seeking. Thanks. Loving your videos.

[@jlddiaz84]

Ditto!!

[@ddavidjp]

thank you for the excellent summary and analysis! it’s just too bad, dior fast became a favorite precisely because of their formula. and that silvery taupe in the old formula is also one of my favorites out of all my palettes 😢 so disappointed i immediately ordered a backup of the old soft cashmere. fortunately, we don’t have the new formula yet here in japan.

[@cccsssish]

I'm interested in general in an old vs new comparison of the palettes that stay in the line but in particular, I'm interested to see how the new Pied de Poule compares to Black Bow, as these are different palettes that seem to be pretty similar in the pan. I think Pied de Poule used to also be a palette in an older formula but I'm not sure if it's the same colour story.

[@LindseyBedro]

Omg this eye look is amazing on you. Holy moly!

[@parivashhajiani]

I have one of the limited edition with corn starch and I’d prefer the permanent line better. Plus some shades has dramatically changed in new release😊

[@biznis9965]

which one is that

[@Grace0707]

I prefer the original Dior look on your left eyelid, does look shinier. Similar but not the same! Thanks for such a thorough analysis!

[@jackieturner4144]

i agree the old formular looks more shiny as well more metalic when the light catches it xx

[@finntastic2896]

good to know! i ahve the old soft cashmere and wanted to get two more quints. i'll go to the store and see if they have the old versions. i got mine in may and it was the old version, so they might still be around in physical stores. they're sold out everywhere online rn, probably because they are swapping the old ones out for the new ones.

[@monicavedani5190]

I’d definitely get the Soft cashmere quint, especially since I have many of the old formula palettes and I missed this. I don’t see any huge differences. Thanks for your helpful review.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

my pleasure!

[@rosieHolliday5887]

I really hope the move towards a "cleaner" brand means they're going to take out the fragrance from all of their products....if so, it means I can FINALLY buy myself some Dior. I've had to avoid it for decades because of its scent yuk! But I really, really, really want some lol xx

[@ouiser1955]

Hi Sofia 😊 I was correct in my guess of which eye had the old formula. The lid color was much more impactful. My thoughts. I’ve watched a few videos regarding these new pallets. Most reviewers have mentioned that the packaging was difficult to open. For me that’s a major strike. Being older with fingers having a bit of arthritic difficulty, this packaging is a no go. The so called “clean” formula is just nonsense. The clean fad in most case’s definitely means the product will go bad much faster. Last point is the cornstarch. Major no for me. I’ll just enjoy the quints I already own. Change can be good, but change for just the sake of “change” for marketing purposes is not a plus. I’d like to know if you continue to have hard pan issues with the dark shade. Give your Mom a Hug 🤗 for me. ❤️🌺

[@nancytipton7602]

Well, I sure am glad that I ordered Plum Tulle from Macy's Monday night! I already had Tutu and love it with my blue-green eye color, plus I have a love affair with purple. Oh, and finding out that Dior is deep sixing BOTH Tutu and Plum Tulle has me feeling relieved to have snagged both purple themed palettes, too. 💜

[@Notperfecttonya]

I don’t know how I feel about this! The new formula looks a bit softer on your eye. I’m not sure that I prefer one over the other. I guess that’s a good thing! 😂 I’m so glad you did this video! Thank you! ❤ I really want to see Khaki!! I love the color story! 😮 🥰🤗😍

[@dianadang2336]

I def just went to go find some of the older palettes!! Great video thank you!

[@toriandjojo2018]

My prediction given the differences in key colors is that Dior will reformulate yet again as this clearly is not an improvement! That said both old and new look fantastic on you! This color story just really suits you! The fact that the matte is getting hard panned on you, with just routine and careful use, makes this a total shame given what you paid for it!! 😢

[@FancyDress21]

This was so informative that I was impressed and just had to thumbs up, thank you!!! I must admit that I liked the left eye (your right, new formula) better before you even brought it up just because it's lighter, but I agree that the dark brown swatch looked alarmingly patchy. I think that all brands will go green eventually because that's the future and they want to catch up with the younger generations, but again, there is and probably will be a lot of disagreement, speculation, and debate around what's green or even healthy.

[@zipperdidoodah5411]

Great review thanks Sofia. Really thorough & informative 👍 My thoughts are: I think this clean beauty bandwagon is well and truly on the road! It means for consumers who wear makeup a lot, they run out quicker and have to repurchase more often. And for those who only use it occasionally it may go off quicker and so again have to repurchase more often. I reckon it's a sellers dream! For me, I only have 1 Dior Quince and it's a blue set - I think it's called Denim. I only use it occasionally so I probably won't repurchase the new formula. I do LOVE the backstage palettes though! Have they reformulated those do you know? (Hoping not) Thanks again x

[@Innamoramento9]

I strangely like the new one better. It's more subtle. I bought the new formula and was thinking of getting my money back, but am not sure now. It looks pretty much ok.

[@elenapolshakov3837]

Oh my gosh… I definitely like the old formula better on you. Wow, men… that’s so disappointing! I’m so glad I have many of old formula, I definitely will treasure them even more now. What a wonderful review Sofia (as per usual)

[@dianehereshko2051]

[@pinkabuki]

Give me all the preservatives, I keep my makeup around for a long time. From a business point of view, if your makeup goes bad faster you are more likely to rebuy it, and the company makes more money. I think that's the main takeaway here.

[@madelyn374]

I would like to see you review the Dior new blushes also the mini Chanel bronzer

[@kelpsyy]

So interesting! The swatches of the old formula look MUCH better to me than the new one but on the eyes, they look extremely similar. The finished look on both eyes looked just as lovely to me. Still, I wish they had not changed the formula. No reason to fix what isn't broken.

I recently bought Soft Cashmere and I’m so happy I got the old quint! I like that the Talc is being taken out of their formulas but that’s all that I like. Reformulating always goes awry.

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

Let's see if they really are gonna be a clean beauty brand. I mean, when i order something at Victoria Beckham, it comes in packaging of which everything is able to recycle, it's soft for face and eyes mostly, very beautiful! Dior, maybe. Fist wait and see. Regarding the formula, i don't think it sells. They have to come with better quints than, which they did, a couple of years ago, after being bored by their shadows for centuries. And now they let it go. Good reason, but they have to do it better than. Thanks for another very good video, the swatches, the explanation...patchy, going hard pan quickly....been bored by these type of European shadows to long. I was so bored here, Sofia. Than i saw Pat McGrath and her shadows, used them a lot!!! Cannot wear them anymore because of my much more sensitive eyes, but there is Suqqu!!!!! And that is where the difference comes, because i always will be an eyeshadow addict Sofia, for Suqqu i go far to get it. For these, no, no,no. But another brilliant and chrystal clear video, thanks so much, have a wonderful day!!!!🤩🤩😘😘🤩🤩😘😘🤩🤩😘😘

[@bookshopgirlilmariel2510]

Thank you so much for this in depth review. I went to the shops yesterday and tried Dior eyeshadows for the first time and I must have tried the new palette because that brown shade was very crumbly! I wouldn't have thought that they already had the new formula but it must be because especially the brown shadow was crumbling away and swatched not very well. That being said, there's one show nearby the still sells the old palette but I am wondering if I should buy it because I thought there are similar colours in the Natasha Denona glam palette... But maybe the Nd is less refined.. as in the Dior looks more elegant/smoother?

[@dearevahansen]

The way my sister and I were texting crying after watching this video bc we are so upset about the reformulation 😢. Right when I found such a great formula for my old a** eyes! Thanks for doing the hard research and saving us money!

Hi Sophia, how long have you had your old version of soft cashmere for? It seems to be working great. I wonder how well the new formulation will hold up overtime against the old one?

[@sharongrenier1667]

Can you tell us what brand and shadeof eyebrow color you are using? Thank you!

[@SG11007]

I am kicking myself for not getting soft cashmere during the last sephora sale. I thought i could get it later in the year during fall sale. i wonder if they even have older formula stocked anymore or if all retailers restocked with new ones. Ugh why do brands ruin already excellent products.

[@Isobeln]

After recent reformulations, I just knew this one would be worse so I snapped up palettes I hadn’t purchased yet on the old formula. They are selling quickly if not sold out at most retailers. Many are available on resale market for not a bad price so that seems better to me than buying the new formulations. Chanel blushes reformulation have similar issues with powdery texture, dryness, softer pigment, less luminosity. Some colors hardly match old v new

[@chantalmeijer8491]

I like the old one more. But I chose beige mitzah single instead of soft cashmere couple of months ago.

[@alya27092]

Hi Sofia! Old formula is much better! I saw Lexi Jung video with new Khaki quint and is even worse than this one. I hate the “clean” beauty trend. Is just a way to make people buy things more often and pay a lot for poor quality products that don’t perform well and expire very fast. If Eden Roc is the same formula like new Soft Cashmere I will skip it. Very sad!😟

[@ilsecontreras7467]

I thought I didn't care for clean beauty, until I tried it and realized it doesn't irritate my skin like regular products 😂 so I do think there's an argument for it but the quality has to be on par.

Soft Cashmere is one I wanted but didn’t get. I’m going to see if my Sephora still has the old formula.

i had a feeling the newer quint had the softer mattes. i was hoping it was softer in that buildable vs patchy way tho haha! it's a bummer the older quints are no longer on their website (except for ltd ed). it would have been nicer for them to sell those off versus just switching over. i feel similarly about the new givenchy mini travel powders but luckily i picked mine up during the last sephora sale :D.

[@simplyrowen]

Usually clean beauty is just a marketing tactic. It’s not regulated. Anyone can make up what it means to them, and it mostly relies on fear mongering, when in reality there’s nothing wrong with the ingredients they are removing/demonizing. I simply can’t subscribe to the idea, that in order to sell something, you have to scare women and then make them believe you’re the right choice because your products are “clean” 🫠

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

It's definitely a business tactic for sure :) otherwise they wouldn't pay all this money to reformulate something we like.

[@selenachan4230]

Clean is code word for shiz, and has a shorter shelf life bc the great "parabens" is an effective and cheaper way to preserve cosmetics. Now, you get a subpar formula, replace more often and costs more all in the name of clean beauty. IMO, clean beauty is like sex. If it isn't dirty, you're doing it wrong. That's how I feel about clean beauty. Wrong

[@igapawlak9273]

How can we distinguish new from old when buying from retailers? I assume they would like to sell the 'old' stock first. I wonder if I can still get the old one lol

Another Dior product I adored ruined! Blergh! I am so so glad I ordered the 2 quints I wanted 2 days ago before the old formula is gone forever. They definitely made these worse with the formula change. The new one is okay. It’s fine. The old formula was magic. It blended itself and looked special. You can definitely tell the difference on your eye. The old looks much shinier and richer.

There is a new regulation in talc where companies have to register all talc to make sure it’s not contaminated with asbestos. Dior probably doesn’t want to do that which is why they are reformulating

I don’t think you would know a difference if you never owned it before. And if you did own it, you probably are not buying the exact same thing. I’m curious about the other palettes and new colors

The old version looks so much better on your eye and hand . I am so sad I didn't get this before the reformulation I was gonna get it durning the sale and didn't then all the sudden they reformulated it 😭

If you had to pick eyeliner from Chanel or Dior to wear for a June wedding (may be hot) which one will you pick ?

If you care about quality, dont buy the new quint formulation.. it will send the right message to Dior! Influencers also should take a position on this because they are closest to the consumer.

Honestly I could immediately tell which was which... I agree with your boyfriend but on top of that, I think the new palette lost some of its coolness (temperature-wise), especially in the shiny shadow, which to me was a significant part of it's magic. It doesn't look bad per se, it looks fine, but kinda like a descent dupe... Not to mention the blending itself thing, that was another big part of the magic with the previous formula. Since Dior are so into reformulating and re-reformulating, do you think there's a chance that we could convince them to re-reformulate just one more time, back to the last formula? 😢
