@SofiaSeesBeauty is this collection limited edition?

[@melissakessler77]

I’m not normally interested in these Dior Backstage eye palettes, but I really like the color story of this new one!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yay!

[@sosnow6194]

Same!

[@megperriman2016]

I’m always impressed how quickly you get new items. It's very useful when deciding what to purchase - or not. 😘

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

So glad!

[@mayaandlilly6906]

Wow that look #1 is BEAUTIFUL! I bought the eyeshadow palette and the glow palette. I feel this is such a good collection for a snowy winter/icey holiday!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

True! :)

[@peony70]

This is the first time I’ve ever considered buying a backstage pallet. I don’t really know how this formula compares to the original quints but I may have to try this. I’m glad to hear that it’s not like Natasha Denona or Pat McGrath because I am not into pigmented eyeshadow. Thank you for the demo. It’s very helpful!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

It's different from the quints but not necessarily better or worse. I don't have as many issues with inconsistency when it comes to these

[@StephanieRankin-j6u]

@@peony70 I have the new backstage from Dior coming too. I don’t like a lot of pigmentation in my makeup!

[@ShobanHaadi]

Agreed. I just sold my Speedy 35 luxrul (I did keep the brown one), my Sofia Coppola perforated LV clutch, my blue Damier clutch I bought in Japan, and the By the Pool vanilla clutch. Kept an orange epi Alma. It feels great!!!

[@michellegerrell2375]

Wow 😍 Dior just keeps knocking the ball out the park this year!! Love the highlighter quad. Have the beautiful rose glow one but totally tempted now! Trying to sit on my hands till Dior release the holiday gold case collection! Fabulous review Sophia 💞

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks Michelle!

[@ddavidjp]

i don’t have anything in the backstage line (i usually get the quints) but the way you used the palette makes this tempting. such pretty soft looks! someone else commented in another video that the way you do eyeshadow is so modern and lovely and i agree.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Oh thank you! 😊

[@rebeccadunn1774]

I received my Dior Celestial Purple palette today and I was surprised at how beautiful these shadows were compared to the online swatches. The colours built and blend beautifully together.

[@selsel7255]

Why am I so excited every time I see Sofia's video pop up on my feed? 😍 The eyeshadow palette looks very good, but i'm still thinking about picking up the Hourglass' Dragon palette. So many beautiful palettes out there!

[@_dewinther]

I love this palette, the light blue all over the lid, the deep purple in the crease and the dark blue in the outer corner, it cannot be a more sophisticated and a more preppy eye-look. It is outstanding! Thanks 💖💖💖

[@tracysmith6865]

Two amazing, creative, makeup looks! It’s amazing how fast you get these products in and get a film out so that we can see how everything performs. 😊😊

[@Ubelongamongthewildflowers]

You can make a beautiful look out of any palette ! 🎨

[@SightWordMovies]

Subtle eyeshadow is great for my old wrinkly eyelids and daytime. Picked up both of these-completely motivated by FOMO. Missed last year’s silver essentials. I’ve been waiting for a new highlighter palette that isn’t quite so golden. Thanks!❤

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yay!

[@pappyone6062]

Beautiful look as usually koukla! Thanks for having review up so quickly Sofia! I’m not usually into these eye shadow palettes because I do have a lot of shadows for a normal, non makeup review person, I dont want so many of the same color story I. A palette as I already have a lot of shadows. But this I like because there are a few different color options in one. It would be nice for travel this winter for an icy or a neutral look. And hronia Polla for your nameday yesterday. Not sure if you read Greek so a rough Anglicized spelling. ❤

[@verenamartin-dickin9967]

I ordered these. Your review has made me feel more confident about using them. I'm very fair so should suit. Thank you for an excellent review xx

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Glad I could help! :)

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

It's a beautiful colourstory and looks super beautiful on you, dear Sofia!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩Loved the super clear helpful video, thank you, have a wonderful day!!!😘😘😘😘

[@LisaF_]

I’m not usually a fan of the Backstage eyeshadow formula, but the looks you made were certainly lovely! I did order the highlighter quad. The Backstage highlighter quads are my favorite highlighters in my collection. I have the OG, Rose Gold, and Glitz. Thank you for getting this review up so quickly!!! 🤗

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I know I have been surprised that they haven't launched a highlighter palette in a while

[@FranM-11]

I like both of these pallettes. Great eye and cheek looks.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you so much!!

[@leighannfields4669]

Hi Sofia! I ordered the new eye palette 2 days ago. I have green eyes & I know the purple & lilac shades will look great with my eye color. I did pass on the highlighter palette because I just do not wear highlighter much. Thank you for your review & swatches!!

[@AnkV]

I want them to bring the backstage powder back it was my fave :(

[@samnicol9388]

I’ve been waiting for Dior to bring out a backstage highlighter with all four pans without bling. I have the copper gold but find I don’t reach for it for my face as has two very very glittery tones and two metallic. It’s really nice as eyeshadows, the more glittery ones both have lovely multi coloured glitter. I suppose it’s actually cheap for a Dior eyeshadow palette.

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

Swatches are also so super helpful always on your Channel!!!👍👍🤩🤩

[@judylord1646]

Love both eye looks! They look beautiful!

[@MaryConahan]

I still like the silver essentials better and missed out on that one! I love these frosty, sugar plum fairy palettes this year though! ❤😊

[@jaelim2746]

Your backdrop is soooooo pretty!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks!!

[@LJernegan]

I don’t think I need to buy anything, but I plan to rearrange some Natasha Denona shades to create the eye shadow vibes. I am also pulling out some Dior that I previously purchased to enjoy. Thanks!

[@hijennwu]

Tysm for posting such a fast review! The face glow palette looks really lovely!! 😍

[@CLH-k3p]

Obsessed with my OG ones but the colors I already have are perfect

[@kateboy-rx6jt]

I like the look of this collection. Am considering purchasing.

[@nikkidegraaff8090]

I love glitter for the holidays 🪩🎉

[@EXOmakemeHorololo]

😊It's soooo pretty!! I love the shades in that palette!! I've been wanting a color story like this❤ I skipped all the prior releases the last 2 years, none was right for me

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yayyyy

[@just_have_a_little_faith]

The Backstage Celestial Glow palette says limited on the website. It’s SO stunning 😍

[@tara1238]

Just got the highlighter palette in the sephora sale 😅

[@kimberlysmith5290]

Hi Sofia, thank you for the review. I had received an email from DIOR for the Celestial collection.. I had put the highlighter in my cart but wasn't sure if I was going to get it or not. I have the Universal Palette and I really like it so I went ahead and bought the Celestial Palette after seeing your review. The eyeshadow and the Lip Maximizer are a pass for me. I have the Silver Essentials palette also and am looking forward to using it again this year. Take Care!

[@beautybycamellia2724]

I love these looks ! I’m excited to use my palette

[@minazohradalagerjensen]

Dior Rose Gold palette is still available in the EU😊

[@marcya.6994]

I like both looks you created!!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks!

[@ndines6237]

Sofia just finished the chat you had with Jennifer. It was great! I feel I have to think of who can be the next face of Dior. How about Jodie Comer!!!!! Yes I think I’ve decided - Jodie!

[@bookshopgirlilmariel2510]

Thank you for this review, I will definitely check it out in store

[@RevampAndRadiate]

Both so pretty. ❤

[@xxdesiire]

I have 2 of the Rose Gold face pallets and the silver eyeshadow palette which l really enjoy using so lm not sure about the new collection, but l will probably get them especially since they are limited. I enjoyed this video and your honesty. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

So glad!

[@alisabarac]

I wish Dior would bring back the Rosegold highlighting palette

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

sameee

[@ndines6237]

We discussed this in the Live chat with Jennifer: who should be the new face of Dior. I got it: Jodie Comer! She’s perfect! Dior- call Jodie! She’ll even do the accent lol. LOVE HER! ❤ am I right?

[@StephanieRankin-j6u]

I have other Dior products but have been branching out. I just received my first from CDP, the holiday collection and I think it is Beautiful. Do you like the illuminizer from CDP? I bought the same shade in it that you did. I am allergic to Gluten so I am a bit limited. Sofia , would you please recommend which brand of foundation between Chantecaille and Cle De Peau? I’m 5o yrs old with pretty great skin, thankfully. ⭐️ Stephanie

[@SarahTones85]

Beautiful looks. Thank you for this. I was immediately drawn to the highlighter palette because of the blue, but I really like the eyeshadow palette too. I’ve never tried a Dior eyeshadow and this may be my first. How does the formula compare to the YSL quads? I love that formula.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

It's not similar. It's going to be softer and not as emmolient.

[@SarahTones85]

@@SofiaSeesBeauty thank you!

[@mushrooms.]

Do you think both palettes will stay in stock until the rouge sale? I def want both but not sure if I should wait or pull the trigger now. Great review as always! :)

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes I think they probably will

[@addangel]

I found myself drawn to the soft, ethereal quality of the eye palette, but then I questioned whether I thought of it as classy simply because it’s Dior, and if it was a drugstore palette instead I would consider it lackluster and lacking in pigment.

[@qingluo8069]

first! Love your videos! I'm gonna buy highlightee palette been waiting for this version without Bronze colour! Greetings 😊🌺

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yay!

[@kellydunworth3689]

Thank you so much for this review... so thorough as always... so helpful!!! I have the 001 palette and love it... but usually use it for my eyes... I loved both of the eye looks you created... both were gorgeous!!! Do you think that if I am looking at the other highlighter palette for my eyes... maybe I should get the eye palette since it has the icy blue in it and skip a second face palette? That is what I am thinking after your review... wondering what your thoughts are...

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

hmm if you think that you are only going to use it on the eyes I think I would get the eyeshadow palette :)

[@kellydunworth3689]

@@SofiaSeesBeauty thank you for your thoughts!! Have a wonderful day ; )

[@alexjones9906]

Ooh which palette do you prefer, this new one or the rose gold? The pinks look very similar 🔍xx

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I don't think the rose gold one is available anymore. I think I like this one best

[@alexjones9906]

Ooh yes I found the Rose Gold one on Selfridges so I don’t want to buy both 🫣xx Dior is full of surprises this year!

[@bedazzled64]

Oh bummer. I usually love the backstage highlighters but not crazy about this one. I have both the rose gold and the pure gold which are my favorites. Keep hoping that something similar will come out

[@nikkidegraaff8090]

Fingers crossed this will come to europe 🙏🏻🤞🏻

[@nikkidegraaff8090]

I found it on the website was hidden a bit 🥳

[@nikkidegraaff8090]

After watching your video I thought I would go get the Dior face palette in 001 it’s sold out everywhere in my country and even on the DIOR website 😢😮

[@nhing5292]

If you had to choose between 004 and 006, which would you choose?

[@BeautyAndTheFrizz]

Yes I was waiting for this!!!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yay!!

[@fuzzboo]

I have held off buying anything from the Backstage line since the packaging is so disappointing compared to the usual Dior line, but I loooove that white and lavender in the highlight palette

[@SeekerW777]

Sofia where are your earrings from? They are so cute!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Mejuri! :)

[@MagicMonthly]

Does the shifty "blue" shade in the face palette at all resemble Chanel's LUMIÈRE DE L'OCÉAN?

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

It's not anywhere as glittery. It's kind of what I wanted that highlighter to be

[@MagicMonthly]

@@SofiaSeesBeauty that's so helpful!! Thanks so much!

[@brontelee6726]

That’s my colour story. I will never be an eyeshadow expert so I feel I can play around with colour without making a whole mess of it with this palette.

[@nikkidegraaff8090]

Gorgeous palettes are they ltd?

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Hey Nikki! I talk about that in the first minute of the video 🙃

[@doxiesarelove]

If you had to choose between only getting the highlighter or eyeshadow, which would you choose?

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I would choose the highlighter!

[@Riri-qi2fu]

I think Dior Backstage should have a blue pallette theme. I've got pretty much all Backstage pallets except blue theme. Frosty all the way to matt.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

True! Good idea

[@이리저리코끼리]

Is the highlighter on the top left of the palette similar to Rare Beauty's enlighten highlighter?

[@carolgarrett5650]

How is the formula on the backstage eye pallet compared to the Quints which I love for my more mature eyes but I do love this color story?

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

It really depends on the quint because they aren't consistent whereas the backstage ones are. If I had to summarize I would say that these tend to be softer

[@carolgarrett5650]

@@SofiaSeesBeautythank you!

[@sylvialin1089]

how does the formula of highlighter 006 compare to 004 rose gold? i purchased 006 because I couldnt get my hands on 004 but I saw people say the formula of 004 was way better

[@nhing5292]

I have the same question as you

[@Isobeln]

The highlighter palette looks like the shades are all baked versions of the Dior liquid glow highlighter from the summer

[@tabbycat5547]

I don't think I will ever pay this much for a palette with packaging that looks like Wet n' Wild. I've also seen highlighter powders fall out of an exact same packaging. No, never.

[@makeupjunkie723]

What brush did you use when you applied the shadow to line your eyes it was a black brush.

It's the one from the BK beauty x Nikki LA rose collab :)

Thank you for doing the review but, I was not impressed with the Dior Backstage colors. They reminded me of spring not winter. Or maybe, I am getting old and I'm not cool anymore. 😄😃😀

I def think this would work for spring

[@TsehayeKrieglstein]

Although I could buy many Chanel or Hermes bags every month, the bags I buy are much cheaper and they are all from luxrul . I don't want to worry about the bags being stolen or damaged. I'd better leave the money I save to my parents, Or donate to charity.

[@Desertmermaid52]

I have the previous purple themed back stage palette and I don’t really like it because it has NO MATTE NEUTRAL shades for the crease to do a whole look. No thank you.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I don't know why they don't just throw a matte in there

[@CharlisDailyDiary]

[@maggyxchuu]

The packaging and aesthetic alone always tempts me to buy the highlighting palettes 😭

[@aliciachristensen4418]

the packaging looks cheep. i would expect more

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

The concept of the brand is that it’s supposed to look like products that the make up artist would use backstage on the runway. So it’s intentionally minimal and see-through as though it would be in their make up artist kit. But I hear what you’re saying, for the price the packaging being very minimal doesn’t quite match up.

[@lisaaustin4561]

Put the TALC back in! Good grief! What’s the f’ing big deal. The new formula isn’t nearly as good as some drug store.
