Dior Jazz Club Collection Fall 2009 Swatches, Pictures and First Impressions

The Dior Jazz Club’s frenzy of coolish pinks, purples, grays and burgundies reminds me of smokey eyes, knee-high boots and knit sweaters. It’s a truly fall collection, and it makes me want to skip down sidewalks covered in autumn leaves on my way to Nordstrom, where the new collection is on sale now (and soon to be online).

A few things of note…

• The collection has a *ton* of gray eyeshadows in a variety of textures, so if you wear grays well, it could be worth a splurge.
• All three blushes in the collection are light, shimmery pinks that may function better as highlighters for girls with darker skin.
• I couldn’t take my eyes off the 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Night Butterfly and the Creme de Glosses in Sweet Praline and Fig Nectar. I think all three would work wonders in a look featuring smokey purple eyes and nude lips.

   Umm. Can you say Chicago the movie/musical? That’s what this totally reminds me of and I LOVE that movie. I really like that deep blue Argentic and the one from palette 1. Hot hot hot. I’m getting the Laura Mercier blue mosaic palette on Monday AHH so excited!! I think there’s something really interesting about dark blue smokey eyes.

3. 3. lexi said, on July 2nd, 2009:

   I think I only want palette 1 just because I’m a sucker for packaging! loving that Black Plum polish! Is Nordstrom taking pre-orders now?

   Side note – have you seen the Fall Chanel colors yet? I saw it at Macy’s yesterday and didn’t have time to play..BOO!

4. 4. Justine said, on July 2nd, 2009:

   I normally don’t pick up single seyeshadows by Argentic is GORGEOUS and I think I am totally going to splurge… otherwise the quint for sure (gorgeous purples!) and both Jazz palettes (if the Nordstrom one comes to Canada… I hope it dose), and the the glosses look gorgeous… my wallet is crying!!

   I bought the Taffeta Plum gloss on impulse last week. It will be going back to nordstroms soon. It didn’t give me much color at all. I would like to try 3 of the four lipsticks (not mauve royal). I’ll play around with them when I go back to nordstroms. Not really interested in much else.

6. 6. Karen said, on July 2nd, 2009:

   Hi Ines,

   The eye palettes are BAD ASSNESS. I am tempted but I dunno… the quint is calling me even more.

7. 7. Karen said, on July 2nd, 2009:

   Hi Stephie,

   Oh, the Mediterranean palette? That one has been one of my faves this summer. I love it! Will you be getting anything else from Laura?

8. 8. Kate & Zena said, on July 2nd, 2009:

   :salivating: Come to mama!!!!! I want the all!!!

   If only I weren’t so darn poor. Grey eyeshadow brings out the grey in my eyes. I was born with slate grey eyes and I still have a bit of the color in my brown eyes. It’s unusual.

   Have I mentioned I look and feel fabulous in purple? It is my favorite color!

9. 9. Karen said, on July 2nd, 2009:

   Hi Lexi,

   Yup, they are. I’ve only seen the Chanel stuff in pics. How’s the quad look?

10. 10. Karen said, on July 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Justine,

    Hmm, I think the Nordstrom ones are sold exclusively at Nordstrom stores. I think that if you purchase them over the phone they can ship it to you for a fee.

11. 11. Karen said, on July 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Shontay,

    The lipsticks are really nice. I like the slick texture and rich pigment.

12. 12. Vampy Varnish said, on July 2nd, 2009:

    Good golly Ms. Molly, I want every single eyeshadow and love the blushes and the pink glosses! Ekkkk! Grey & purples are totally *my* colors so I am drooling now…

    OMG Karen, this is AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for posting this! I need to run to Nordies tomorrow or hopefully next week. Chanel fall e/s were a bit disappointing for me even though I got the new Murano quad. These Dior ones are gorgeous though!!!!

    Fall is my favorite season so I like the look of this! I’ve never bought anything Dior before… but the lipglosses look good and are relatively affordable.

15. 15. Tove said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    OH hell yeah, palette 001 is calling out to me. Am so snatching that one up. If I’m lucky, maybe they’ll have it in the duty-free shops on the way to Chicago.

16. 16. Rachel said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    I’m like dying over here because of all of the beautiful items. This one seems like it was made for me haha. I look super-good in grey eyeshadows. I love purples, plums and rosy shades. I love dark lipsticks and polishes. The blushes would look effin-fantabulous on my albino-light skin. Ahhhhh! *falls into a CD-love-coma*

17. 17. marmar said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Love these colours for reals… but even though it’s obviously fall, it just feels so out of season. lol Still though.. I could rock that nail polish.

18. 18. redhead said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Didn’t they have Gold Touch eyeshadow on display? When Christine did her swatches she couldn’t find Trendy Taupe, but that didn’t matter. Gold Touch is such a RICCHHH shade of warm coppery gold with a touch of bronze. Yumm..

19. 19. Karen B said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    My favourites are certainly the lip glosses

20. 20. Kypris said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Karen! I’m messaging all the way from Europe, where I’m working for two months this summer…

    I love the purples in this collection, and I wish I had the skills to give myself the looks they have in their photos…

21. 21. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Kypris,

    Wow, that’s awesome! How are you liking it so far? Do you have culture shock?

    And have you had time to raid any makeup counters?

22. 22. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Karen B.,

    Oh, I like those, too… especially the creme de glosses.

    BTW, thank you for recommending Escale a Portofino. I ended up buying a bottle with my birthday money. I love it!

23. 23. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Redhead,

    Gold Touch isn’t part of this release. It’s a pretty color, but I don’t really see it going with the grays and the mauves…

24. 24. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Marmar,

    Yah, I know. I’m not ready for fall yet! The summer colors are my favorites so it’s going to be hard for me to let all the golds, bronze and teals go.

25. 25. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Rachel,

    Oh, this collection will look smoking on the pale beauties, for sure. When you go and check it out be sure to bring your self restraint. It’s even more pretty in person.

26. 26. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Tove,

    I think you’ll need to pop by a Nordstrom store to pick that one up… I believe it’s a Nordstrom-only exclusive.

27. 27. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Shiny,

    Out of the lip products I love the Creme de Gloss and the lipsticks most. The gloss is okay — it’s on the sheer side, which is good for when I’m in the mood for it.

28. 28. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Lina,

    You’re welcome! Do you think you’ll pick any of these up?

29. 29. Karen said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Hi Vampy Varnish,

    WHEEE! Since you love grays and purples I bet you go nuts when the fall collections come out!

30. 30. cloudburst said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    Holy crap I want everything! Well all the eye shadows & palettes. I think I may have to pre-order the exclusive Nordie’s palette & get my friend to ship it to me here in Canada. Night butterfly is a stunner too.

31. 31. Louise Gray said, on July 3rd, 2009:

    I want one of everything. Some color palettes just do not flatter all complexions. Now those I could wear. The Dior Fall collection could certainly give my Karl a little competition!! I did see the Chanel colors but maybe I am ACO-hahahah-all Chanelled out!! Is such a thing possible? Louise

32. 32. Mollie said, on July 5th, 2009:

    Hey Karen, any idea what shadows they used on Jessie Stam in that promo pic? She looks so gorgeous.

33. 33. Laurie said, on July 5th, 2009:

    This is one stunning collection! Loving those palettes and the Argentic single.

34. 34. Karen said, on July 5th, 2009:

    Hi Laurie,

    I like it a lot, too.

    Have you been watching SYTYCD? I cried right after the Romeo and Juliet dance… I’m such a spaz. It was so beautiful!

35. 35. Karen said, on July 5th, 2009:

    Hi Mollie,

    I dunno off the top of my head, but let me ask my friend who works for Dior. I’ll let you know if I find out anything.

36. 36. Laurie said, on July 5th, 2009:

    I am watching! You know it:) Loved last week’s episode. I also really liked the Kanye chains piece, awesome song. I have so many favorites this season! Bummed to see Karla go. Did you know she was in the Boogie Bots from ABDC?

37. 37. Ditte said, on August 11th, 2009:

    Bought the 001 palette – and am really happy with it
    The price tag is different here in Scandinavia. With a roaring sales tax on 25% the price lands on 96 dollars here
