Hi, dolls!
Last month for my birthday, I received a Dior palette as part of my birthday present and after using it for a while now, I decided to review it for you guys. If you're interested to find out more about my little Dior makeup collection, let's get right into the review!

Dior Backstage Eye Palette is described as Dior makeup artists' secret weapon to create an array of pro eye looks, from most natural to the most defined. The eyeshadow palette is inspired by the energy backstage at the runway shows and it includes shades that suit all skin tones in buildable matte and iridescent textures for perfect eyes.
Personally, I love to collect eyeshadow palettes and I was super shocked when my parents chose this eyeshadow palette for me. I really didn't expect them to reach for Dior but I am very happy they did. 002 Cool Neutrals palette is beautiful! It's a 9 pan palette featuring all shades needed to create a gorgeous glam or an everyday, simple look. I found the shadows to be very blendable and pigmented, I also like the fact it comes with an eye primer that reinforces the eyeshadow's hold and boosts their colour. I think this is a great palette to have in your makeup collection whether you are a beginner or a makeup pro. It's very simple but yet essential and the warm neutrals can be used for either a lighter daily look or a deeper evening makeup.
Diorshow, the professional Dior Backstage mascara was renewed in 2015. Its new formula is said to be enriched with microfibres which optically reproduce the effect of lash extensions used by runaway makeup artists.
Although I am currently obsessed with the Legit Lashes mascara by Huda Beauty, I did enjoy the Dior one as well. It adds both length and volume to your lashes and not every mascara will do that for you. It's pure black which makes the eyes look even more beautiful and I really like the false-lashes effect it has on your eyes. It has a little scent added to it, however I didn't notice any irritation this would leave on my eyes. Overall, I think it's a great mascara and one I would most likely use on a day out.
Final Thoughts
I really enjoyed testing out Dior's makeup products. Out of the two, I definitely prefer the eyeshadow palette, however the mascara is also nice, I just find it a little bit overpriced. As already mentioned, the eyeshadow palette is very pigmented and although it's a 9-pan palette, it gives you options to create either an everyday or an evening look. In addition, I appreciate the eyeshadow primer which make the shadows longer lasting. I think this is a palette everyone would enjoy having as you can't go wrong with these beautiful shades.
