I’m Electrified by the Dior Electric Tropics Collection and Can’t Wait for Summer

March 11th, 2011 by Karen 27 Comments

Dior Electric Tropics for Summer 2011

Ono! I can practically taste the rainbow shave ice already. Dior’s new Electric Tropics Collection has me thinking about Hawaii, and like the islands themselves, the 13-piece release for eyes, lips, cheeks and nails is a study in contrasts — as in sun-kissed skin behind bright neon nails and lip colors.

Below is the full list of products, but here are a few things currently catching my eye…

  • Dior Vernis Electric Tropics Nail Duos ($26 each) — To ramp up the shine of these florescent shades, Dior mixed in an ultra-shiny top coat, and it gives nails painted with these polishes a mirror-like effect.
  • Dior Addict Crystal Glosses ($27 each) — Available in four shades with different finishes and levels of opacity. Dior packed these with something they call a “polymer gel,” which gives them a volumizing, hydrating texture (oddly, they compare it to vinyl).
  • Diorskin Healthy Glow Powders ($46 each) — Isn’t the woven print on these pans to die for? The shades in each compact are designed to be mixed together and applied to the face (and the cheeks!) for a healthy glow.

    Cool! I’ve been wanting the polish ever since I saw the first photo of it! However, the quints look a little boring… and very similar to each other.

    I want it all! I would love to see pictures of the glow fluid too! Wonder if they will be similar to Giorgio Armani’s fluid sheers?

    Oooh, that first eyeshadow quint is gorgeous!

    I think I’m going to purchase some makeup. I broke my toe on Thursday and I need something to cheer me up, haha. I’m either on crutches or am hopping everywhere on one foot like an injured bunny rabbit. People stare at me like I have five heads or something, lol.

    The Glo Powder looks awesome!!!!
    And how come Dior still puts spongeapplicators in their palettes instead of a nice small travel brush like BB?

    Oooooh love those powders, especially Sunset! I might have to rethink getting one of the new Chanel bronzers. The e/s palettes look promising too, but I find Dior’s e/s to be hit or miss so I will wait for the reviews.

    Do you know the release date for the collection?

    The nail polish and the glosses brings me the vibe of summer, but the eyeshadow palette is not too impressive. Too many neutrals.

    That first healthy glow powder looks perfect for me, but not sure about the price. Then again, it is Dior and the closest that I’d ever get to owning something that says Dior 🙂

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
