   One of two 5-pan releases from Dior for the Holiday Season 2019/2020, this is such a beautiful and festive palette. Design-wise, the shadows are emblazoned with the message “Happy 2020” and “Dior” in relief on the middle pan. And this really is a festive palette with a gorgeous gold shadow, a champagne (can you get more festive than champagne?), a shimmery taupe, a shade that looks very orangey/warm and coppery but which, when applied, is a gorgeous rich and versatile brown and finally a black shade. This is a spendy palette here in Canada (mind you, Dior is never exactly “budget”) but it is so worth the price. I had a generous gift certificate (a gift from hubby last year, I think) that I used to pay for this so it felt like a freebie (it isn’t – let’s be honest) but even if I’d been paying for this with actual “real” money, it’s a palette that is well worth it. The middle shade – the shimmery taupe – is the only one that is less than stellar. It needs a bit of “work” to apply it evenly and with pigmentation but that might change as I use it a bit more but if it doesn’t, a dampened brush to apply it will improve things. Because I have a lot of makeup, lately, it takes a lot for me to get excited about new releases but this is one of the few Holiday or recent releases that really grabbed my attention.
