Dior and Clarins Palettes

No new gifts today but here are two new holiday palettes that I think are beautiful. This year’s Dior Deluxe Travel Palette is available now at Nordstrom (and probably soon at other department stores) and is such a pretty thing. It includes six eyeshadows, a DiorBlush, an allover face highlighter, and deluxe miniatures of Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Organdi Pink and Diorshow Iconic Mascara in Black. Its priced at $75, is it too early to make a Christmas wish list?

This one is only $40, and it includes a powder (beige with subtle gold shimmer), three eyeshadows, two lip glosses, and a mini mascara, all in a pretty little gold case.

There was some sad, sad news in the beauty world yesterday, and if you’re reading it here first I’m sorry to be the one to tell you that Estee Lauder Companies Inc is shutting down the Prescriptives line. You can read more about it here (article in the Wall Street Journal) and here (Reuters news), and they have a little blurb on the Prescriptives site itself with a phone number to call with any questions. For now they are continuing to sell their products online but by the end of January, Prescriptives will be gone.
