I really like the Dior lipsticks and glosses, but I avoid buying Dior now because I think their move to clean beauty is cynical cash grab. A shelf life of 6 months is not OK with me. I think consumers are waking up to the fact that ‘clean’ beauty is nothing but a marketing tactic.
I remember this in the denim industry as well since I come from the fashion side of things first. Denim really got attacked because it uses so much water in its production. And some companies were really authentic in how they addressed it and others were just jumping on a bandwagon for Marketing, money and a cash grab. I think the same as beauty as well. Brands like mob beauty are really doing it right but, with Dior, I can’t help but feel that it’s inauthentic.
Hi Rebecca! Happy 2024! So, to answer your questions: the 6-month shelf life is discouraging me from buying as much as before (if others are doing the same, it’s not good for sales); I prefer the light eye shadow on you (not only does it light up your face but it’s far better for workplace, anytime/anyplace looks - who goes grocery shopping wearing glam makeup? ) Finally, I prefer the lighter lip shade on you. Thank you for this Dior Galore video. (Love your videos!)
With the price tag and only a 6 month shelf life, it’s a little harder to swallow although I typically don’t go by self life. Will be interesting to see how they are affected after the expiration date. For now I will wait for those updates although I am loving all the looks on you ❤
Deb, my perception of winter is always the Twin Cities. I spent so much time there in my late teens and early 20s that, in my mind, that is winter. So you’ll laugh that we went to Chicago and I expected it to be entirely frigid. there’s nothing quite as cold as Twin Cities cold. I suppose Winnipeg But I should say in the US it’s not gonna get much colder. Duluth was pretty cold though. Ha ha
I really hope they last more than 6 months 🙏 and if it doesn't, they need to consider making products smaller at a lower price, if people will have to repurchase every 6 months. I'll be honest i think that will put me off brands. Loved your eye looks Rebecca 😊
The sell by date is so unreasonable that it’s tempting to think it could never actually happen but, with no preservatives, they will definitely not last for years.
You look so pretty!! 💕 The lip shade is great on you! I am so annoyed that Dior has basically forced all their customers to only use their items for six months straight, due to it expiring! Thats is wild to me! …That said, I am definitely a part of the problem because I really like both palettes. 😅As long as people (like me😬) buy them, they will not stop the “clean” beauty nonsense😢
The first lipstick is gorgeous, and so is the backstage palette! I am anxiously waiting reviews to see how Dior lasts after that 6 month exp is up. I am so drawn to a few newer things, but want to spend the $$ on products that will hold up for a while, much longer than 6 months. These colors are so flattering on you!!!
So far, I realize that my six month foundations are doing fine and foundations can get really gross if they go bad. Mine are definitely over six months. So far I think it looks like we might be able to push this past six months. But I’m not sure it’s infinite. My old products with preservatives in them, my goodness, I’m going on years. I bet we can’t do that here
I don't care what Dior does they need to bring back their Airflash foundation!! I'm still spicy & salty about that discontinuation!! I have maybe 3 or 4 applications of it left!! 😭
I don’t quite understand why they canceled that foundation. It was beloved. I wonder if it was just too hard to sell and ship with the aerosol type container? Maybe it went against this new image where theyre are so perfectly clean?
@@pinksparkle258 hahaha. I want a big sign on it that says “yay! this product contains talc and preservatives! “That would be funny. Someone should start a make up line just devoted to that sort of thing.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I don't get the negativity around aerosols. Not all aerosols contain gas propellants (which I think is the cause of a lot of the dislike). Many years ago Ren skincare did a gorgeous rosewater facial spray in an aerosol can that was powered by compressed air. The spray was beautifully fine, just as good as anything propelled by gas.
I think the magnetic closure on the lipsticks is a huge upgrade. I love the Dior Forever mattes (not reformulated…yet) but the click closure and super light cap feels very cheap on those and they are not cheap. I like the bit of metallic finish on the first lipstick a lot! I like that it looks like you could do several different types of looks with the new Backstage palette. I haven’t tried a backstage palette since they reformulated. I’m still waiting for the one that speaks to me. I wish the Silver Essentials had not been limited edition. I regret not getting it, but I was in the middle of holiday shopping when it came out and it wasn’t the time to buy a palette for me. (And really…anything named “essential” should be in the permanent line, right?! 😂 I know it’s for spring, but the quint just seems too light for me.
Hi Rebecca, No matter what they doing 6 month shelf life is to short of time for so much money. I love my Dior palettes. I need to get more of their lipsticks. Your look is gorgeous. I love the St Germain on you.
I love those looks. I really like Dior Backstage eyeshadows to be honest. Now since they have changed the formulations and the exp. dates I am just going to buy very few items in general because other brands are doing the same and to my humble opinion it is a marketing thing, I don't really believe that they care that much about the environment I think more about the sales.
Hello Rebecca, thanks for the informative video as always and you’re really lovely. May I share what I know? The symbol on the box that says 6M means “period after opening” which is the period of time you can expect the product to perform as well as when first opened. However this is not the expiration date, we don’t know when the products will expire, so we can still use them until they go so bad that we can’t use anymore. My friend told me this and she works for Eucerin. I googled and found the same info. Hope you could help clarify whats right ❤❤
Yes, I am one of those odd ducks who really liked having the primer shade in the Dior backstage pallet!! It was great for travel. I haven’t purchased a reformulated version yet. Taking my Dior purchases slowly at this point.
I buy the other palette and the deeper blush now I want pink organza looks beautiful 😍 but is out of stock lol , 6 months they said but it last way longer all of my dior palettes are still very good and uff they old 😅 I do have a antibacterial spray that I use when I feel they to old to use just in case but the formula is never dry always smooth so no worries about that . Thank you for this video my friend ❤
I have noticed with high end eyeshadow you really don't need makeup skill for it to look good. Usually the formulas are so nice just throwing a bit on is fine. 😊
Ever since Dior changed their formula their shadows have been a pass for me. I just don’t like the new texture. I think with powders as they get old the pigment begins to fade. I would be more concerned with mold and bacteria growing in the cream and liquid products. That said, I usually don’t buy Dior lipsticks as most are scented. To me they have a strong perfume smell that I also taste. I’m sorry to be such a Debby Downer! After all of that negativity I must say I love your videos. You really brighten my day.😊❤
You are NOT a Debbie Downer. First of all, you're anything BUT that. But you ARE a woman with an opinion and we can all benefit from hearing what you have to say!
Hi Rebecca you look so chic with those lipsticks they really suit you and loved the eye looks. I love Dior, I’ve been buying their beauty/makeup for about 20 years and they did my wedding makeup 18 years ago i will probably still keep buying it even with the new expiration time. The brush gift is the Platinum level of loyalty i received mine in November. Im definitely pinking up those 2 eyeshadow pallet’s and a couple of lipsticks x
Thank you!!!! so far, the lipsticks feel and seem very much the same. But I’m still wondering what we’re gonna find with no preservatives. I still can’t help being drawn to them.
I think the brush set is the Platinum gift. Thank you for the review-really beautiful! I’m waiting for my pink organza next week. This will look great for work!
I bought the quint in pink as well and I love it. I didn't get the makeup bag with brushes but I think it's because I didnjoin the points program. But I got chinese NY red envelopes and a little white bag being chinese I do appreciate the red envelopes, but I want to keep them all to myself now instead of giving them away😂
It may be slightly cheaper, but it's not "the lower end" it's their makeup that's primarily inspired by their catwalk/runway looks (by season). It's meant to be less "timeless classic" and more "on-trend"... 😎✌🏼🖤
Yay! I get to see a new video after returning home from vacation. Love both palettes and the lip colors look so nice on you. Ok, let’s get to their marketing. I’m just not going to buy it. I’m done with their bs cash grabs. I feel the same way about other brands as well ( Chantecaille I’m looking at you 😉) I have to make these decisions to keep me from buying everything 😜. There is an awesome Melt pink pallete on sale at Nordstrom (Millennial Pinx $23) and I immediately thought of you. Thanks for another great review 😘
That pink quint is really super cute, dear Rebecca, looks so beautiful on you!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Expiry after 6 months, yes heard about that, did not purchase Dior makeup, or did i? Yes i purchased 1 Christmas quint in the more brown/gold shades, that was it. But sensitive skin and sensitive eyes here, i also use a mascara 3 months, max 4 months. Eyeshadows, i mostly don't read, i smell, i feel, i remember when i bought them, and powder eyeshadows, most powder eyeshadows you can use upto 4 years! For the safety of my eyes i mostly choose 3 years. There is only 1 Chanel quad i cannot say goodbye to, that is the one from Holiday 2019, the Lumiere et Opulence 342, i know, i don't want infected eyes, but it's one of the most beautiful eyeshadow quads/palettes that i own. That's why i purchase less makeup and more skincare, but makeup is so much fun, and 6 months upto expiry not! But loved the video! If i WOULD purchase this cute light quint (saw already a reduction action here in NL last weekend for it) i would say upto 1.5 year or 2 years at least. I have sensitive eyes, but thank goodness also my nose and eyes to decide if it goes or not, simple. Loved this video, very beautiful, thanks, have a wonderful day!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s true that skincare is probably the wiser investment. You are very smart. Especially with the six month expiration date and, as you also rightly note, going on sale quickly
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty thanks, i try, do not always succeed, but make progress! The expiration date, i understand that European Union in Brussels want to protect us as consumers, but what's next, cosmetics that expire within 2 monts, i think than? Yes, when not attached with glue to a website (like the gorgeous Chanel concealer in the jar, and the beautiful Parure Baroque Chanel quad for example), almost all these products end up in a sale, and mostly quick here, at ICI Paris XL and/or Douglas. But only EU brands. A brand like Chantecaille, that is of course more American than European, never goes on sale here in NL at Douglas, i always purchase it from Niche Beauty Germany, Cult Beauty UK, or others. But never in here in NL.
Not interested in spending more for a lipstick that's not going to last more than 6 months. Also I keep palettes to use in different seasons and no not going to buy one that won't show up or be good in 6 months. Yes I care about the environment, I do, I really do. Know what is good for the environment? An eye shadow palette you can pick out of your collection in the Fall and it lasts for years. I know sounds crazy to some but a palette that's a keeper and can be relied on works for me. Most people I know who go by expiration dates throw them in the garbage rather than taking them back to Sephora which sounds easy but seems not as easy as some would think. The pink looks beautiful on you. Looks way too light for me. I'm considering buying it! Ps I think only problem with the regular 5 pan Dior palettes is most to not deliver the pigmentation many of us got spoiled by with new brands. Pigmentation became a trend. Depends what you;re looking for...or prioritize. I do a lot of recycling and make decisions often on environmental issues but when it comes to a splurge on a Dior eye shadow palette it's not high up and especially with regard to lipsticks. Thats me. Thanks. Love Dior was thrilled to see this review!!
Great comment!!! Plus yes exactly. We all end up feeling like it’s taboo to be against these reformulations like we don’t care about the environment but, just the opposite, so many of these clean formulas are just marketing hype
Love the Pink Organza on you. I have ordered and am excited to get this one and you’ve done the best demo with it compared to others I’ve seen. If makeup is going to have a shorter shelf life then they need to quit launching them a season before. For some, by the time you really start using it, it’s already halfway through and I think for me, I’ll really think about how much use I’m really going to get for the price before buying.
I’m so sad Dior has reformulated their lipsticks. Hopefully the Addict is a new enough formula that they’ll keep their mitts off that one. Dior was right up there as a number one brand but I can’t handle this expiration date. The product may have been sitting on the shelf for six months at the store. When does six month start??? As it leaves Dior’s shipping dock ? I’ve been trying Chanel lately so that may be a new favorite one.
OMG Rebecca! I ordered the Smokey Essentials last week and it’s on the way. I am so excited to see you swatch it and the look is gorgeous. Now,,, I am thinking about adding that 5 pan to my cart. It’s gorgeous! I have a 5 pan and I never reach for it. I need to put it in front of me. It has been out of sight /out of mind. Great job Rebecca! Thank you!👑✝️🙏🏻❤️💄
I’m torn between this new Backstage 9-pan, the new Chanel quad (Eclat de Nuit, it’s prettier in person), and the new Chanel Les Beiges in Cool. I don’t need any of it, but I’m very tempted! There’re quite a few items in the Les Beiges line that are piquing my interest so it may be where I land. Thank you for the review!
My Chanel sales associate is out after knee surgery AND I was out of town for a few days. Those two things teamed up to make me miss out on the Chanel, darn it.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty these just landed in our stores (non-US) so I likely have some time. Other than the Dior site, I’ve not seen the new Backstage palette. It might be the only place for me to get it. I’m not rushing though!
I'm hoping these last more than 6 months! Purchased the Chanel LeBeige Winter GlowPrimer in both Frosty White and Beige...love these!! also the Coco Baume Lip Tint along w a Dior Addict Lippie!!😂Happy NY! Ty Rebecca! e Coco Baume Lip Balm!!
Love this Dior video! I ordered the same 5 pan…eek, so pretty! The lipsticks look gorgeous on you! BTW, my husband gave me those same little books for Christmas (the Dior & Chanel), and the Hermes one. They look so cute on my vanity. 💖
I LOVE the little books. Were a gift from community member Celeste G. See? I am surrounded by ALL The lovely warmth of this community, you included!!!!!
Im tempted by the backstage pallet its definitely the colors i go for . Caring for the earth 😂 ok by having to throw all ur Dior makeup away in 6 months because its expired and barely touched cause 6 months u can barely make a dent then have to go buy more that u probably cant get cause everything is Limited edition!!! Creating more waste is a Cash grab till they can plant that packaging and stuff in the earth and it grow flowers or break down its a cash grab. 😂 I have cool neutrals so im wondering if i need it but definitely kinda want it but i think their is other things in want more . Im trying to be more mindful this year and buy what i am really excited about that i know ill get use out of. My husband happen to peak in my pallet drawer and almost died 😂 He was like Heather this is rediculas you have 2 eyes and makeup goes bad i said dont say crap to me when u have a room full of expensive skateboards that take up alot of room and cost more then my eyeshadow pallets. I have been sitting here strssing over the new Chanel De Nuit qusd at 5:30 am the other day it was on Nordstrom i put it in the basket had my info in and checked out then got a note back saying my items are not available sold out talk about a major melt down 😭 it was the start of the dreaded pms too which made it worse. I am so tired of hunting these Chanel releases it takes the joy out of it and every single thing they been putting out is limited so its like u got 5 secs to get some of this stuff or ur SOL . Well i went off about Chanel when this was a Dior video lol i think it was because i want a Chanel quad more then the Dior and im trying to be good this year 😂 Both the Dior pallets look beautiful on you !!
EXACTLY! Men want to get at us about makeup but the things they collect. Honestly! haha. Regarding Chanel, my sales associate is out after knee surgery so I didn't get my usual text and, by the time I was made aware, my local boutique was sold out. I decided, this time, not to get involved in this whole wild goose chase after Chanel products. Frankly, it just gets boring. When it's on their website in the US or stays at Nordstrom, I'll grab it but the whole game is too much. I TOTALLY agree with you.
Very pretty eyeshadows. I just recently bought their foundation and afterwards found out about the 6 months. Pretty disappointing to me. They are not a cheap brand and I probably won’t use it all by then. Thank you for the video. My favorite was the 5 pan❤
So far the foundations have lasted me longer than six months but I don’t think it’s gonna be an infinite amount of time. This is a whole new world where we actually have to perhaps pay attention to the expiration. Other Makeup I have, it’s been been years. But now? With no preservatives, it might be a very different story.
Love your video's Rebecca! Thanks for raising the fact that Dior has changed their formula's to have a 6m expiration date. I think it's unrealistic because a woman we have so many lipsticks and eye shadows that we can't finish one in 6months. I think they believe buyers will continue buying and not notice or care. Sadly, I won't be buying from them because I own so many lipsticks that it's not feasible to buy from them going forward.
Thank you so very much. What a pleasure to have you here with us in this community! Yes, even if they make it past six months, which I really hope they will, I think they are still gonna have a fairly rigid date with no preservatives and that is really upsetting when we’re spending so much money on the make up
I have a few Dior Addict Shine Lipsticks, which I love &, of course, the J’Adore perfume. I would have loved to explore more from Dior (my rhyme is cringe! 🤣) but the change to clean beauty & the 6 month shelf life is off putting. However I don’t rigidly stick to the shelf life of products, with the exception of mascara but clean beauty does seem to need an adherence to the expiration date 😬😊💕
That’s the issue. We all ignore the expiration dates, as you know, but on clean beauty, are we able to actually do that? I suppose time will really tell us. And, hey, I like your rhyme
Hi Rebecca, really enjoyed this video, thank you. 😊 Dior has always been a favourite brand of mine ever since I first started buying it in the late 1980s (oh that makes me feel old ...). I hadn't realised the expiry dates were so short now - I've never taken any notice of these dates before and never experienced any problems as a result, but I am concerned that the dates are so short now. Who on earth is going to finish up a palette of eyeshadows in 6 months?! It is counterintuitive too - all this "clean" beauty is sold as being better for the environment and better for us ... but if we have to start chucking barely used makeup out after 6 months and buying new pieces, doesn’t that create MORE waste (that will undoubtedly end up in landfill) and use up MORE of the earth's precious resources? None of this adds up and the cynic in me thinks this is just Dior (and plenty of other brands) jumping on the latest bandwagon. It will be interesting to see if anything unpleasant does happen with this makeup once the stated 6 month lifespan expires .....
Oh I totally agree. The cynic and me is narrowing my eyes as well. It just seems ridiculous. Especially when we have really good brands like mob beauty doing truly environmentally friendly Makeup that last for 24 months. None of this makes any sense and feels like a cash grab
Rebecca, is the Smokey Essentials Backstage Palette a Limited Edition? I've seen it on YT but no-one ever mentions this. The same for the two Quints. These Quints came out a few years ago as Popeline (pink) & Organza ( peach) but never came to Australia. It was when I was looking my absolute worst when I had broken my predominant arm in three places and lost a whole bunch of weight that I couldn't afford to lose. I had to keep to wearing pale shadows as to not accentuate how gaunt my face looked. Imagine my disappointment when they never came. Yet, after getting Byredo's Remembrance Palette, I doubt I would need these now. I am curious though as to how much these new ones are like the original. I prefer Dior's Addict Lipsticks and haven't used the others. Not happy that the prices are continuing to rise despite supposedly having to throw the products out after 6mths. If that's truly how long they're going to last, I'll just buy from the myriad of other brands. I thought you may have picked up the seven Maximisers Dior has just dropped.🤦🏼♀️ This is getting ridiculous! PS. I picked up the Valentino Flip Palette from Selfridges when reduced! It was the same shades as yours, the other had sold out. Bought a tonne of Valentino Lipsticks, Prada Lipsticks, Isamaya Ffrench Wild Star Eye Palette plus a Lipstick & three Lip-liners, ND Biba Palette and more. I've even got about eleven Guerlain Lipsticks and Cases on their way from within Australia! How's that for jumping in the deep end? I've now got all of the PML's Motherships, as soon as Decadence arrives this week! That was the one I wanted the most and ended up being the last I got and only because Pat 'opened her vault'. It's not an easy Mothership to ever find, yet the deed is finally done! So much for me saying that I had no intentions of collecting them. I thought about it and saw that the prices were continuing to increase and thought I'd get everything out of the way now. I even scored her 6-pan Bronze Ambition and the ND Gold Palette from eBay! The seller was so lovely that she gave me a full-sized lipstick from Pat, which I've never tried before. You never know the things you can find on the second hand market place. Scoring the Burberry Runway Palette was certainly a coup, considering Isamaya was too busy to bother with bringing out a Christmas Collection which I wasn't happy about. To say that I'm overwhelmed by cosmetics is the understatement of the year! The brakes are on until temptation overtakes me.🇦🇺💖👩🏼🎨
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I've been watching some make-up videos whilst lazing in bed and it has really hit home just how many new palettes or anything else for that matter, I don't need. As soon as I saw Popeline and Organza I definitely wanted them due to not getting them a few years ago. Well, a lot has happened in a few years and I doubt very much that I need these shades at all. With all the new competition Dior has now, I find myself drifting away and opting for brands I'm yet to try that aren't going to fall to pieces in 6mths. I'll still love my Backstage Palettes but the Quints are far from a necessity. I bought a bunch of them until the reformulation started and haven't touched any new ones since. What's the point in reformulating products, if it's just going to turn customers away? I know that I can't afford luxury make-up that only lasts 6mths, that's insane! You'll have to tell me how the Valentino Flip Palette is going after you've had time to use it. I think this is great for travel or for just including everything I'd like a palette to have, such as my base shade. Those Guerlain Lipsticks and Cases sure have some weight to them! Considering how much the cases cost on special compared to Dior's Addict Cases, Guerlain wins hands down. I'm just thrilled that I finally got my Prada and Rabanne, despite having to sign up to yearly shipping from Selfridges. I've got some great bargains from them, those we don't get here. Does your hubby do the traditional Scottish welcoming of the New Year? When I was seeing one whom came from a very Scottish family on both sides who immigrated to Australia, I spent a New Year with them and they made the female with the darkest hair present go outside - me. When it hits midnight, I had to knock on the door and when it was opened, it meant they had let the New Year in. I've never represented the New Year before but it was fun being involved in a tradition from another country. Hope you had a lovely Hogmanay and that you will soon hit your 100k subs! You deserve it.💖
@@krisushi1 how lovely of you!. Thank you so much. I have been in Scotland during Hogmanay so I have been able to participate but my husband doesn’t do it here. And we didn’t get married with him in a kilt either. I was like aren’t those the best parts of Scottish culture and I didn’t get to experience them. But he is extremely Scottish other than that I will say. Ha ha.
Hi Rebecca! A 6 month shelf life might not be bad for someone that solely uses said product everyday. Lol However, for any of us that have a larger collection, 6 months shelf life is too short. I recently picked up their Lip Glow Lip Balm and I must say it’s not worth $40. The packaging is a light, cheap plastic and the color is very sheer and not very moisturizing, imo. I thought it’d be a bit more pigmented and that’s why I justified spending $40 on it. Lol I know that the lip oils are all the hype right now but I can’t bring myself to pay $40 for a lip oil. They’re too similar to lip glosses to me and I have plenty of lip glosses, that I find moisturizing, that I love and aren’t $40. 😂Also, in regard to the short shelf life, Wayne Goss blush/highlight duos are also a 6 month shelf life. I vividly remember that being the reason I didn’t pick one of those up. I was super interested but when I found out they only had a 6 month shelf life for the price and size, I passed. I always thought if they were half the size and price, I’d be ok with the 6 month shelf life. So for Dior, I guess I won’t be picking up any lipsticks. Lol With cream products, I find shelf life matters more. They tend to stink when they go bad. I think powders last longer. At the end of the day, when it comes to these high end brands, we’re mostly paying for that name. (I’m not saying it’s bad but just saying that I realize that when I speak of the price 😂) Now, I’m still contemplating picking up one of those Chanel snowflake blushes. The embossment gets me!😂😂 Though, I still have burned in my brain that Chanel blush that was a light pinky peach with the double CC’s that didn’t show up on anyone and everyone was so disappointed by it. 😂 Anyways, sorry for my long rant! As always, thank you for sharing!😊
First of all, Chrissy, this was NOT a long rant. This was a well stated opinion and I am so here for it! Totally agreed. Oh that pink double CC blush....it was like a ghost blush!!! The lip oil is all the range thanks to TikTok and all of these, apparently, ten year olds (no, I am not kidding) demanding to carry it in their "purses." My head is in my hand. I am glad my girls are older than this now. Yikes.
@NotFitforPrintBeauty More than "clean" brands... lol. Thinking Kjaer Weis, Westman Atelier or even the gluten-free makeup brand Red Apple Lipstick have eyeshadows lasting longer. Anyway, enough said. :)
I really appreciate this video. I LOVE Dior, but, the whole 6 month shelf life has completely turned me off to anything other than: foundation, mascara and mascara primer. I think I can finish my foundation in 6 months. I know mascara can't last that long, so I don't mind, but the eye shadow palette?? NOPE!!!
I'm fine with clean beauty, but they need to finish the concept. They are still selling product sizes and using price points that made sense for product with preservatives. With a 6 month expiry date, there will be a LOT of waste. That affects the planet too. Dior might want to consider much smaller product size at a significant price reduction. Remember those old Avon trial lipsticks??
I have always really loved to deal with her, but just refused to invest in them anymore, due to the six-month shelflife. I just feel like most of us, all of us, will never go through our entire shadow palette, and six months with all the other makeup, we own, and we are throwing tons of money in the trash. I’m pretty disappointed in DR with a formulations. Both of those pallets and the looks you created are gorgeous too. Sigh.
Yeah sooo…. I would definitely be using it for over 6 months. The product should still be fine, they put the short shelf life to get you to buy more sooner.
I agree and the question becomes will we have to pay attention to this shelflife. With no preservatives, their six months could actually be accurate. And that’s what we have to figure out
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I think what you said is right that all you really need to do is just keep an eye on what your makeup looks and smells like, but I do agree that without the preservatives its probably going to be going off sooner, too soon, but we don’t know when that is so I still stick by my comment that we’re not getting enough bang for our buck, you know?
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty agreed 1000% I notice that my favorite “clean” mascara, which is amazing (Tower 28) gets all thick and gloopy sooooo fast. My Westman A mascara which is so expensive also did not last. The beautiful Kosas cloud set power, which is amazing, hard pans in weeks when I’ve never had anything hard pan before. Oh well, it is what is is 🙂It the direction the industry is taking now.
You are the first reviewer I've seen who has mentioned that all of these reformulated Dior products expire in 6 months. They've raised their prices at the same time. The "clean" products I've tried before, like Kosas, went really bad in a few months. I had to throw away several foundations because of it, and I'm done. Same with Bite Beauty lipsticks. I Want preservatives in my makeup! I don't share it, so not worried one bit about contamination. And, if a palette stops performing, I'll pitch it. But I have a few eye palettes that are years old that are still aces. So I'm looking for products that last on the face and on the shelf. I was already ticked off at the reformulations at both Chanel and Dior, before I knew they expired in 6 months. Not only do these Dior and Chanel people talk to each other, they are price fixing. You bet this is a cash grab! So hello SUQQU, Cle de Peau, and others. Cle de Peau is far superior in performance and finishes, when it comes their powder products, to both Chanel and Dior. SUQQU has really interesting color stories and also has terrific performance. And there are many other brands that I will be revisiting. I'm not that impressed by logos. I want value and performance. $49-58 lipsticks are a terrible value. $195 and $500 lipsticks are an IQ test. I can do better elsewhere and will. Sorry about the rant, but I've been watching what these two brands have done over the past 12-18 months with shock and awe. Shocked that these brands have ruined great formulations. And awe that they would raise prices by anywhere from 30-100% for no reason except greed. This shorter shelf life just puts nails in the coffin of the love I Had for these brands. Thanks for the video. Didn't want to blow up your morning, but my anger has been simmering for a long time.💚
You can add Tom Ford to your list. I don’t know how “clean” Este Lauder is but their prices are ridiculous for a no longer too great formulation. Have a nice day
@@melissabrockman7619 I never drank the Tom Ford Koolaid. But I refer to Estee Lauder as "the great brand destroyer". They ruin every brand they buy. And from what I've seen in reviews, Tom Ford is one.

I don't have inside knowledge of the cosmetics biz, but I know red flags when I see them. And the reformulation story, accompanied by ensuing price increases, has been a riddled with them. Across all product lines in these brands too. Hard to Not notice.
@@DeborahCarlston I had to laugh. People sometimes ask me why I am over intellectualizing Makeup and I say, “what can I do? I’m over educated. I have to use it for something.” Ha ha. So, we will over intellectualize make up and enjoy doing it
Dior trying to be clean beauty is a huge cash grab. Dior has never been known for their commitment to clean beauty so I can’t imagine those who rejected Dior as an option suddenly rushing to Dior because of their attempt to cater to clean beauty at the expense of long time customers. A six month expiry is ridiculous and assumes someone is only using Dior, but most of us don’t use just one brand exclusively for all their makeup needs. I LOVED the Dior backstage shadows. I am glad I am not alone in missing the primer. I truly enjoyed the primer in the palette which was far more useful than the a super light shade that will not work, so it’s one less item available for use. I love their lipsticks, especially being refillable AND those cases, which I have a few, which I can use up pretty quickly, so the 6 month expiry doesn’t bother me with that product. While I’m disappointed with the changes, I have other options and Dior will sadly be less of a brand option for me going forward. I will say I’m not an anti-clean beauty brand but when a brand just shifts abruptly in hopes of expanding their market share but not all of us are looking to Dior as a clean beauty brand. I’m not saying I want to use makeup with asbestos or lead but I am less appreciative of removing preservatives and reformulating their entire brand. Why not create a new clean beauty line within the brand to see if that market bites without infuriating long time customers. You’re the best, Rebecca ❤
YOU are the best. I totally agree with you on this. Exactly, it is not that we are demanding they put lead and asbestos in our makeup to make it last longer but this feels disingenuous. I just can’t imagine there was a group of people who stopped buying Dior because they were bad for the planet. And, conversely, there’s no group of people who have started to buy Dior because they are… Claiming… that they are so good for the planet! And if mob beauty can do 24 months… And those products actually turn to dirt when buried, that is literally how progressive they are in their commitment to being Green, if they can go 24 months, who is going to believe this nonsense that Dior is so committed to the environment that their products go bad in six months and, might I add, fill landfills.
@@NotFitforPrintBeautyWell I had no idea that MOB was that sustainable, see that’s a commitment and impressive!!! Dior, not soo much with a 6 month shelf life! The folks who want real clean beauty have never and more than likely will never support Dior in large amounts they make this move profitable. It makes me wonder if Dior thinks that clean beauty lovers are some how intellectually vulnerable to these sorts of cash grabs, of course not. We know they but Dior clearly does not.
@@traciewarren1070 exactly. There’s almost this feeling like they want to take advantage of naïve people out to save the Earth or something. It’s kind of calculating? If that’s the right word
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Right, it turns me off in a big way. The mother earth types will never be into Dior, and that’s ok. Yes, I want products they are beautiful and are not trying to kill me, but I expect authenticity and Dior is giving anything but authenticity. Sure I love their makeup but they are on a hard pause for me right now. I can easily finish a lippie from them within six months but anything else is nearly impossible for me.
TOTALLY. They have an honored tradition of perfume and cosmetics. This feels...too..."get out quick" for the longevity of the house...or the SUPPOSED longevity, you know?@@traciewarren1070
Oh I totally agree. Can you imagine buying all of this for your kit and it doesn’t make it a year? You couldn’t stay in business. You would spend all of your money repurchasing Makeup.
You make a really good point. With no preservatives it might actually expire very soon. It might not be six months but it could definitely be under a year. With no preservatives this will get interesting
I don’t think 6 months it’s gonna expire, that just spells out them trying to get a repurchase! Who’s gonna use up an entire shadow or foundation in that amount of time…😅
@@belindafischer2920 I do agree that six months is probably on the shorter side but, with no preservatives, they won’t last years. I guess that one we know

I really like the Dior lipsticks and glosses, but I avoid buying Dior now because I think their move to clean beauty is cynical cash grab. A shelf life of 6 months is not OK with me. I think consumers are waking up to the fact that ‘clean’ beauty is nothing but a marketing tactic.
I remember this in the denim industry as well since I come from the fashion side of things first. Denim really got attacked because it uses so much water in its production. And some companies were really authentic in how they addressed it and others were just jumping on a bandwagon for Marketing, money and a cash grab. I think the same as beauty as well. Brands like mob beauty are really doing it right but, with Dior, I can’t help but feel that it’s inauthentic.
Thanks!
MICHELLE, how KIND of you. Thank you. Goes RIGHT BACK into more makeup purchases. I am so grateful.
I quite like the quint colour story
The pink gets me every time.
Hi Rebecca! Happy 2024! So, to answer your questions: the 6-month shelf life is discouraging me from buying as much as before (if others are doing the same, it’s not good for sales); I prefer the light eye shadow on you (not only does it light up your face but it’s far better for workplace, anytime/anyplace looks - who goes grocery shopping wearing glam makeup? ) Finally, I prefer the lighter lip shade on you. Thank you for this Dior Galore video. (Love your videos!)
Perfect comment! I agree on all fronts.
With the price tag and only a 6 month shelf life, it’s a little harder to swallow although I typically don’t go by self life. Will be interesting to see how they are affected after the expiration date. For now I will wait for those updates although I am loving all the looks on you ❤
Yessss. With more info under our belts regarding the shelf life, we can perhaps buy more confidently.
Your lipstick is gorgeous! You are so funny mocking what people say about the eyeshadow pallet 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for laughing along with me. We have to keep it silly. It's just makeup afterall ❤️
Twin Cities actual temperature-4 with windchill -22. Our windchill has gone up.
Deb, my perception of winter is always the Twin Cities. I spent so much time there in my late teens and early 20s that, in my mind, that is winter. So you’ll laugh that we went to Chicago and I expected it to be entirely frigid. there’s nothing quite as cold as Twin Cities cold. I suppose Winnipeg But I should say in the US it’s not gonna get much colder. Duluth was pretty cold though. Ha ha
I really hope they last more than 6 months 🙏 and if it doesn't, they need to consider making products smaller at a lower price, if people will have to repurchase every 6 months. I'll be honest i think that will put me off brands. Loved your eye looks Rebecca 😊
It will last longer! They just put that with the hopes you repurchase it sooner.
The sell by date is so unreasonable that it’s tempting to think it could never actually happen but, with no preservatives, they will definitely not last for years.
I agree. There is no point in most people buying that size product to have it go off before they can use it
The pink in the middle is pretty but the colors around it are que a tionable .
Fair point!
You look so pretty!! 💕 The lip shade is great on you!
I am so annoyed that Dior has basically forced all their customers to only use their items for six months straight, due to it expiring! Thats is wild to me!
…That said, I am definitely a part of the problem because I really like both palettes. 😅As long as people (like me😬) buy them, they will not stop the “clean” beauty nonsense😢
Oh I agree with you entirely. We are part of the problem together, my friend.
The first lipstick is gorgeous, and so is the backstage palette! I am anxiously waiting reviews to see how Dior lasts after that 6 month exp is up. I am so drawn to a few newer things, but want to spend the $$ on products that will hold up for a while, much longer than 6 months. These colors are so flattering on you!!!
So far, I realize that my six month foundations are doing fine and foundations can get really gross if they go bad. Mine are definitely over six months. So far I think it looks like we might be able to push this past six months. But I’m not sure it’s infinite. My old products with preservatives in them, my goodness, I’m going on years. I bet we can’t do that here
It's YOUR DIOR!! 🩷🩷🩷
I don't care what Dior does they need to bring back their Airflash foundation!! I'm still spicy & salty about that discontinuation!! I have maybe 3 or 4 applications of it left!! 😭
I don’t quite understand why they canceled that foundation. It was beloved. I wonder if it was just too hard to sell and ship with the aerosol type container? Maybe it went against this new image where theyre are so perfectly clean?
@@NotFitforPrintBeautyidk...I'm kinda tired of all this "clean" biznuss...gimme all the DIRTY!! 🤣
@@pinksparkle258 hahaha. I want a big sign on it that says “yay! this product contains talc and preservatives! “That would be funny. Someone should start a make up line just devoted to that sort of thing.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I don't get the negativity around aerosols. Not all aerosols contain gas propellants (which I think is the cause of a lot of the dislike). Many years ago Ren skincare did a gorgeous rosewater facial spray in an aerosol can that was powered by compressed air. The spray was beautifully fine, just as good as anything propelled by gas.
Oh I LOVE the refresh to the backdrop
New year, new clutter. haha.
I think the magnetic closure on the lipsticks is a huge upgrade. I love the Dior Forever mattes (not reformulated…yet) but the click closure and super light cap feels very cheap on those and they are not cheap. I like the bit of metallic finish on the first lipstick a lot!
I like that it looks like you could do several different types of looks with the new Backstage palette. I haven’t tried a backstage palette since they reformulated. I’m still waiting for the one that speaks to me. I wish the Silver Essentials had not been limited edition. I regret not getting it, but I was in the middle of holiday shopping when it came out and it wasn’t the time to buy a palette for me. (And really…anything named “essential” should be in the permanent line, right?! 😂
I know it’s for spring, but the quint just seems too light for me.
Hahahaha. What a great point. Exactly. This is an essential…that is here for like a month. Haha. That’s pretty much non essential then, Dior.
I went and bought Pink Organza. Those soft gentle colours were calling my name! Thanks for your review, Rebecca! 🙏🏻
Pink is like a magnet for me.
Happy New Year Rebecca! Thank you for this video! Will you be reviewing the new ABH velvet lipsticks? 😊
Happy happy new year to you!!! You bet. The ABH are on their way to me right now.
Hi Rebecca, No matter what they doing 6 month shelf life is to short of time for so much money. I love my Dior palettes. I need to get more of their lipsticks. Your look is gorgeous. I love the St Germain on you.
I LOVE their lipsticks. I just hope they last. eek.
I love those looks. I really like Dior Backstage eyeshadows to be honest. Now since they have changed the formulations and the exp. dates I am just going to buy very few items in general because other brands are doing the same and to my humble opinion it is a marketing thing, I don't really believe that they care that much about the environment I think more about the sales.
It's REALLY hard to believe they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. Let's put it that way haha.
I spy another new Dior item behind you 📚❤🎁
The Chanel is out too!!! Is my big head blocking it??? I need to adjust it then!!!!!!! Thanks to YOU
❤❤❤
♥️♥️♥️
I like all of them!!!! They suit you perfectly!!!! ❤❤❤Thank you for the review!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank YOU for being here for it!
Hello Rebecca, thanks for the informative video as always and you’re really lovely. May I share what I know? The symbol on the box that says 6M means “period after opening” which is the period of time you can expect the product to perform as well as when first opened. However this is not the expiration date, we don’t know when the products will expire, so we can still use them until they go so bad that we can’t use anymore. My friend told me this and she works for Eucerin. I googled and found the same info. Hope you could help clarify whats right ❤❤
This is an absolutely lovely and helpful comment. I am very appreciative ❤️
Yes, I am one of those odd ducks who really liked having the primer shade in the Dior backstage pallet!! It was great for travel. I haven’t purchased a reformulated version yet. Taking my Dior purchases slowly at this point.
YAY! Go team PRIMER!
The burgundy shades make your eyes look beautiful!
That is so kind!!!!!!
I buy the other palette and the deeper blush now I want pink organza looks beautiful 😍 but is out of stock lol , 6 months they said but it last way longer all of my dior palettes are still very good and uff they old 😅 I do have a antibacterial spray that I use when I feel they to old to use just in case but the formula is never dry always smooth so no worries about that . Thank you for this video my friend ❤
Oh I have that spray too! It's GREAT.
I have noticed with high end eyeshadow you really don't need makeup skill for it to look good. Usually the formulas are so nice just throwing a bit on is fine. 😊
This is entirely true. And add in some good make up brushes and you kind of just have to sit there and it doesn’t work for you ❤️
Ever since Dior changed their formula their shadows have been a pass for me. I just don’t like the new texture. I think with powders as they get old the pigment begins to fade. I would be more concerned with mold and bacteria growing in the cream and liquid products. That said, I usually don’t buy Dior lipsticks as most are scented. To me they have a strong perfume smell that I also taste. I’m sorry to be such a Debby Downer! After all of that negativity I must say I love your videos. You really brighten my day.😊❤
You are NOT a Debbie Downer. First of all, you're anything BUT that. But you ARE a woman with an opinion and we can all benefit from hearing what you have to say!
Hi Rebecca you look so chic with those lipsticks they really suit you and loved the eye looks. I love Dior, I’ve been buying their beauty/makeup for about 20 years and they did my wedding makeup 18 years ago i will probably still keep buying it even with the new expiration time. The brush gift is the Platinum level of loyalty i received mine in November. Im definitely pinking up those 2 eyeshadow pallet’s and a couple of lipsticks x
I absolutely love that they are the ones who did your wedding make up and it has been a match made in heaven since then ❤️ ❤️
Nice overall but not sure if the 6 month thing is good. The St. Germain is really beautiful 🤩
The lip shades are my favorite even over the shadows. Now let’s see if they last
Perfect timing! I was waiting for this video!
Thank you!!!! so far, the lipsticks feel and seem very much the same. But I’m still wondering what we’re gonna find with no preservatives. I still can’t help being drawn to them.
I think the brush set is the Platinum gift.
Thank you for the review-really beautiful! I’m waiting for my pink organza next week. This will look great for work!
Yes, totally the platinum gift, the "you spent so much that we have to give you SOMETHING" gift. haha.
I really like everything you purchased! Love the color stories and lipsticks 💄 ❤️
Thank you so much. I’m really happy with it especially that second lipstick for some reason. I think that one is really fun
I bought the quint in pink as well and I love it. I didn't get the makeup bag with brushes but I think it's because I didnjoin the points program. But I got chinese NY red envelopes and a little white bag being chinese I do appreciate the red envelopes, but I want to keep them all to myself now instead of giving them away😂
I don't blame you one bit!
It may be slightly cheaper, but it's not "the lower end" it's their makeup that's primarily inspired by their catwalk/runway looks (by season). It's meant to be less "timeless classic" and more "on-trend"... 😎✌🏼🖤
Agreed!
Yay! I get to see a new video after returning home from vacation. Love both palettes and the lip colors look so nice on you. Ok, let’s get to their marketing. I’m just not going to buy it. I’m done with their bs cash grabs. I feel the same way about other brands as well ( Chantecaille I’m looking at you 😉) I have to make these decisions to keep me from buying everything 😜. There is an awesome Melt pink pallete on sale at Nordstrom (Millennial Pinx $23) and I immediately thought of you. Thanks for another great review 😘
You know me far too well, Tina! I love it! You know I love that pink palette
That pink quint is really super cute, dear Rebecca, looks so beautiful on you!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Expiry after 6 months, yes heard about that, did not purchase Dior makeup, or did i? Yes i purchased 1 Christmas quint in the more brown/gold shades, that was it. But sensitive skin and sensitive eyes here, i also use a mascara 3 months, max 4 months. Eyeshadows, i mostly don't read, i smell, i feel, i remember when i bought them, and powder eyeshadows, most powder eyeshadows you can use upto 4 years! For the safety of my eyes i mostly choose 3 years. There is only 1 Chanel quad i cannot say goodbye to, that is the one from Holiday 2019, the Lumiere et Opulence 342, i know, i don't want infected eyes, but it's one of the most beautiful eyeshadow quads/palettes that i own. That's why i purchase less makeup and more skincare, but makeup is so much fun, and 6 months upto expiry not! But loved the video! If i WOULD purchase this cute light quint (saw already a reduction action here in NL last weekend for it) i would say upto 1.5 year or 2 years at least. I have sensitive eyes, but thank goodness also my nose and eyes to decide if it goes or not, simple. Loved this video, very beautiful, thanks, have a wonderful day!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s true that skincare is probably the wiser investment. You are very smart. Especially with the six month expiration date and, as you also rightly note, going on sale quickly
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty thanks, i try, do not always succeed, but make progress! The expiration date, i understand that European Union in Brussels want to protect us as consumers, but what's next, cosmetics that expire within 2 monts, i think than? Yes, when not attached with glue to a website (like the gorgeous Chanel concealer in the jar, and the beautiful Parure Baroque Chanel quad for example), almost all these products end up in a sale, and mostly quick here, at ICI Paris XL and/or Douglas. But only EU brands. A brand like Chantecaille, that is of course more American than European, never goes on sale here in NL at Douglas, i always purchase it from Niche Beauty Germany, Cult Beauty UK, or others. But never in here in NL.
And the EU has the glitter regulations now too!@@annemarietimmerman7213
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty that's a lot! O i saw this i believe somewhere, could have been a news programm
Not interested in spending more for a lipstick that's not going to last more than 6 months.
Also I keep palettes to use in different seasons and no not going to buy one that won't show up or be good in 6 months.
Yes I care about the environment, I do, I really do. Know what is good for the environment? An eye shadow palette you can pick out of your collection in the Fall and it lasts for years. I know sounds crazy to some but a palette that's a keeper and can be relied on works for me. Most people I know who go by expiration dates throw them in the garbage rather than taking them back to Sephora which sounds easy but seems not as easy as some would think.
The pink looks beautiful on you. Looks way too light for me. I'm considering buying it!
Ps I think only problem with the regular 5 pan Dior palettes is most to not deliver the pigmentation many of us got spoiled by with new brands. Pigmentation became a trend. Depends what you;re looking for...or prioritize. I do a lot of recycling and make decisions often on environmental issues but when it comes to a splurge on a Dior eye shadow palette it's not high up and especially with regard to lipsticks. Thats me. Thanks. Love Dior was thrilled to see this review!!
Great comment!!! Plus yes exactly. We all end up feeling like it’s taboo to be against these reformulations like we don’t care about the environment but, just the opposite, so many of these clean formulas are just marketing hype
For me any lip product is now out but a powder product I could risk the 6 months .
Agreed. Powder SHOULD last unless the oils in it go bad?!
Love the Pink Organza on you. I have ordered and am excited to get this one and you’ve done the best demo with it compared to others I’ve seen.
If makeup is going to have a shorter shelf life then they need to quit launching them a season before. For some, by the time you really start using it, it’s already halfway through and I think for me, I’ll really think about how much use I’m really going to get for the price before buying.
What a GREAT point. They are following fashion trends and releasing a season before but with a use by date that doesn't go the distance!
I’m so sad Dior has reformulated their lipsticks. Hopefully the Addict is a new enough formula that they’ll keep their mitts off that one. Dior was right up there as a number one brand but I can’t handle this expiration date. The product may have been sitting on the shelf for six months at the store. When does six month start??? As it leaves Dior’s shipping dock ?
I’ve been trying Chanel lately so that may be a new favorite one.
They will get to reformulate the Addict too. They are getting to them all. Eek!
OMG Rebecca! I ordered the Smokey Essentials last week and it’s on the way. I am so excited to see you swatch it and the look is gorgeous. Now,,, I am thinking about adding that 5 pan to my cart. It’s gorgeous! I have a 5 pan and I never reach for it. I need to put it in front of me. It has been out of sight /out of mind. Great job Rebecca! Thank you!👑✝️🙏🏻❤️💄
You will love that smoky essentials. It’s so useful. Just kind of the ultimate easy smoky eye
I refuse to buy an eyeshadow pallette that only lasts 6 months unless they start making the pan sizes and price in line with this
RIGHT. Make it smaller and maybe we'll be interested. Good point.
Love my Dior lipsticks! I wonder about the 6 months shelf life.
The good news is that, for better or worse, six months is quick so we’re gonna all know very soon
I’m torn between this new Backstage 9-pan, the new Chanel quad (Eclat de Nuit, it’s prettier in person), and the new Chanel Les Beiges in Cool. I don’t need any of it, but I’m very tempted! There’re quite a few items in the Les Beiges line that are piquing my interest so it may be where I land. Thank you for the review!
My Chanel sales associate is out after knee surgery AND I was out of town for a few days. Those two things teamed up to make me miss out on the Chanel, darn it.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty these just landed in our stores (non-US) so I likely have some time. Other than the Dior site, I’ve not seen the new Backstage palette. It might be the only place for me to get it. I’m not rushing though!

Im tempted by the backstage pallet its definitely the colors i go for .
Caring for the earth 😂 ok by having to throw all ur Dior makeup away in 6 months because its expired and barely touched cause 6 months u can barely make a dent then have to go buy more that u probably cant get cause everything is Limited edition!!! Creating more waste is a Cash grab till they can plant that packaging and stuff in the earth and it grow flowers or break down its a cash grab. 😂
I have cool neutrals so im wondering if i need it but definitely kinda want it but i think their is other things in want more . Im trying to be more mindful this year and buy what i am really excited about that i know ill get use out of. My husband happen to peak in my pallet drawer and almost died 😂 He was like Heather this is rediculas you have 2 eyes and makeup goes bad i said dont say crap to me when u have a room full of expensive skateboards that take up alot of room and cost more then my eyeshadow pallets.
I have been sitting here strssing over the new Chanel De Nuit qusd at 5:30 am the other day it was on Nordstrom i put it in the basket had my info in and checked out then got a note back saying my items are not available sold out talk about a major melt down 😭 it was the start of the dreaded pms too which made it worse. I am so tired of hunting these Chanel releases it takes the joy out of it and every single thing they been putting out is limited so its like u got 5 secs to get some of this stuff or ur SOL . Well i went off about Chanel when this was a Dior video lol i think it was because i want a Chanel quad more then the Dior and im trying to be good this year 😂 Both the Dior pallets look beautiful on you !!
EXACTLY! Men want to get at us about makeup but the things they collect. Honestly! haha. Regarding Chanel, my sales associate is out after knee surgery so I didn't get my usual text and, by the time I was made aware, my local boutique was sold out. I decided, this time, not to get involved in this whole wild goose chase after Chanel products. Frankly, it just gets boring. When it's on their website in the US or stays at Nordstrom, I'll grab it but the whole game is too much. I TOTALLY agree with you.
Dior ❤ I really want to try Dior eyeshadow one day. It should last a life time wth that price! 😂
Exactly and it should also help around the house with chores for that price.
Very pretty eyeshadows. I just recently bought their foundation and afterwards found out about the 6 months. Pretty disappointing to me. They are not a cheap brand and I probably won’t use it all by then. Thank you for the video. My favorite was the 5 pan❤
They are saying 6 months on foundation too 😮😅 that’s just silly. I wouldn’t go by that!
So far the foundations have lasted me longer than six months but I don’t think it’s gonna be an infinite amount of time. This is a whole new world where we actually have to perhaps pay attention to the expiration. Other Makeup I have, it’s been been years. But now? With no preservatives, it might be a very different story.
Can you do miss dior perfume haul
Oh my daughter loves that perfume. I’ve never actually worn it myself but I’ll have to try it and see what I think. I can borrow hers.
Love your video's Rebecca! Thanks for raising the fact that Dior has changed their formula's to have a 6m expiration date. I think it's unrealistic because a woman we have so many lipsticks and eye shadows that we can't finish one in 6months. I think they believe buyers will continue buying and not notice or care. Sadly, I won't be buying from them because I own so many lipsticks that it's not feasible to buy from them going forward.
Thank you so very much. What a pleasure to have you here with us in this community! Yes, even if they make it past six months, which I really hope they will, I think they are still gonna have a fairly rigid date with no preservatives and that is really upsetting when we’re spending so much money on the make up
I have a few Dior Addict Shine Lipsticks, which I love &, of course, the J’Adore perfume. I would have loved to explore more from Dior (my rhyme is cringe! 🤣) but the change to clean beauty & the 6 month shelf life is off putting. However I don’t rigidly stick to the shelf life of products, with the exception of mascara but clean beauty does seem to need an adherence to the expiration date 😬😊💕
That’s the issue. We all ignore the expiration dates, as you know, but on clean beauty, are we able to actually do that? I suppose time will really tell us. And, hey, I like your rhyme

@@michellecrawford5692 I’m on the hunt
Hi Rebecca, really enjoyed this video, thank you. 😊 Dior has always been a favourite brand of mine ever since I first started buying it in the late 1980s (oh that makes me feel old ...). I hadn't realised the expiry dates were so short now - I've never taken any notice of these dates before and never experienced any problems as a result, but I am concerned that the dates are so short now. Who on earth is going to finish up a palette of eyeshadows in 6 months?! It is counterintuitive too - all this "clean" beauty is sold as being better for the environment and better for us ... but if we have to start chucking barely used makeup out after 6 months and buying new pieces, doesn’t that create MORE waste (that will undoubtedly end up in landfill) and use up MORE of the earth's precious resources? None of this adds up and the cynic in me thinks this is just Dior (and plenty of other brands) jumping on the latest bandwagon. It will be interesting to see if anything unpleasant does happen with this makeup once the stated 6 month lifespan expires .....
Oh I totally agree. The cynic and me is narrowing my eyes as well. It just seems ridiculous. Especially when we have really good brands like mob beauty doing truly environmentally friendly Makeup that last for 24 months. None of this makes any sense and feels like a cash grab
Rebecca, is the Smokey Essentials Backstage Palette a Limited Edition? I've seen it on YT but no-one ever mentions this. The same for the two Quints. These Quints came out a few years ago as Popeline (pink) & Organza ( peach) but never came to Australia. It was when I was looking my absolute worst when I had broken my predominant arm in three places and lost a whole bunch of weight that I couldn't afford to lose. I had to keep to wearing pale shadows as to not accentuate how gaunt my face looked. Imagine my disappointment when they never came. Yet, after getting Byredo's Remembrance Palette, I doubt I would need these now. I am curious though as to how much these new ones are like the original. I prefer Dior's Addict Lipsticks and haven't used the others. Not happy that the prices are continuing to rise despite supposedly having to throw the products out after 6mths. If that's truly how long they're going to last, I'll just buy from the myriad of other brands. I thought you may have picked up the seven Maximisers Dior has just dropped.🤦🏼♀️ This is getting ridiculous!
PS. I picked up the Valentino Flip Palette from Selfridges when reduced! It was the same shades as yours, the other had sold out. Bought a tonne of Valentino Lipsticks, Prada Lipsticks, Isamaya Ffrench Wild Star Eye Palette plus a Lipstick & three Lip-liners, ND Biba Palette and more. I've even got about eleven Guerlain Lipsticks and Cases on their way from within Australia! How's that for jumping in the deep end? I've now got all of the PML's Motherships, as soon as Decadence arrives this week! That was the one I wanted the most and ended up being the last I got and only because Pat 'opened her vault'. It's not an easy Mothership to ever find, yet the deed is finally done! So much for me saying that I had no intentions of collecting them. I thought about it and saw that the prices were continuing to increase and thought I'd get everything out of the way now. I even scored her 6-pan Bronze Ambition and the ND Gold Palette from eBay! The seller was so lovely that she gave me a full-sized lipstick from Pat, which I've never tried before. You never know the things you can find on the second hand market place. Scoring the Burberry Runway Palette was certainly a coup, considering Isamaya was too busy to bother with bringing out a Christmas Collection which I wasn't happy about. To say that I'm overwhelmed by cosmetics is the understatement of the year! The brakes are on until temptation overtakes me.🇦🇺💖👩🏼🎨
Kris! Happy new year. I love how the brakes go off for temptation. That’s so true! Yes. Supposedly these palettes are all limited edition ugh.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I've been watching some make-up videos whilst lazing in bed and it has really hit home just how many new palettes or anything else for that matter, I don't need. As soon as I saw Popeline and Organza I definitely wanted them due to not getting them a few years ago. Well, a lot has happened in a few years and I doubt very much that I need these shades at all. With all the new competition Dior has now, I find myself drifting away and opting for brands I'm yet to try that aren't going to fall to pieces in 6mths. I'll still love my Backstage Palettes but the Quints are far from a necessity. I bought a bunch of them until the reformulation started and haven't touched any new ones since. What's the point in reformulating products, if it's just going to turn customers away? I know that I can't afford luxury make-up that only lasts 6mths, that's insane! You'll have to tell me how the Valentino Flip Palette is going after you've had time to use it. I think this is great for travel or for just including everything I'd like a palette to have, such as my base shade. Those Guerlain Lipsticks and Cases sure have some weight to them! Considering how much the cases cost on special compared to Dior's Addict Cases, Guerlain wins hands down. I'm just thrilled that I finally got my Prada and Rabanne, despite having to sign up to yearly shipping from Selfridges. I've got some great bargains from them, those we don't get here. Does your hubby do the traditional Scottish welcoming of the New Year? When I was seeing one whom came from a very Scottish family on both sides who immigrated to Australia, I spent a New Year with them and they made the female with the darkest hair present go outside - me. When it hits midnight, I had to knock on the door and when it was opened, it meant they had let the New Year in. I've never represented the New Year before but it was fun being involved in a tradition from another country. Hope you had a lovely Hogmanay and that you will soon hit your 100k subs! You deserve it.💖
@@krisushi1 how lovely of you!. Thank you so much. I have been in Scotland during Hogmanay so I have been able to participate but my husband doesn’t do it here. And we didn’t get married with him in a kilt either. I was like aren’t those the best parts of Scottish culture and I didn’t get to experience them. But he is extremely Scottish other than that I will say. Ha ha.
Hi Rebecca! A 6 month shelf life might not be bad for someone that solely uses said product everyday. Lol However, for any of us that have a larger collection, 6 months shelf life is too short. I recently picked up their Lip Glow Lip Balm and I must say it’s not worth $40. The packaging is a light, cheap plastic and the color is very sheer and not very moisturizing, imo. I thought it’d be a bit more pigmented and that’s why I justified spending $40 on it. Lol I know that the lip oils are all the hype right now but I can’t bring myself to pay $40 for a lip oil. They’re too similar to lip glosses to me and I have plenty of lip glosses, that I find moisturizing, that I love and aren’t $40. 😂Also, in regard to the short shelf life, Wayne Goss blush/highlight duos are also a 6 month shelf life. I vividly remember that being the reason I didn’t pick one of those up. I was super interested but when I found out they only had a 6 month shelf life for the price and size, I passed. I always thought if they were half the size and price, I’d be ok with the 6 month shelf life. So for Dior, I guess I won’t be picking up any lipsticks. Lol With cream products, I find shelf life matters more. They tend to stink when they go bad. I think powders last longer. At the end of the day, when it comes to these high end brands, we’re mostly paying for that name. (I’m not saying it’s bad but just saying that I realize that when I speak of the price 😂) Now, I’m still contemplating picking up one of those Chanel snowflake blushes. The embossment gets me!😂😂 Though, I still have burned in my brain that Chanel blush that was a light pinky peach with the double CC’s that didn’t show up on anyone and everyone was so disappointed by it. 😂 Anyways, sorry for my long rant! As always, thank you for sharing!😊
First of all, Chrissy, this was NOT a long rant. This was a well stated opinion and I am so here for it! Totally agreed. Oh that pink double CC blush....it was like a ghost blush!!! The lip oil is all the range thanks to TikTok and all of these, apparently, ten year olds (no, I am not kidding) demanding to carry it in their "purses." My head is in my hand. I am glad my girls are older than this now. Yikes.
6 month shelf life doesn't work for me either. Stopped buying Dior eyeshadows.
It’s such a shame for sure. No idea why they’re so committed to this.
@NotFitforPrintBeauty More than "clean" brands... lol. Thinking Kjaer Weis, Westman Atelier or even the gluten-free makeup brand Red Apple Lipstick have eyeshadows lasting longer. Anyway, enough said. :)
@@sw1366 oh exactly. MOB beauty is so clean that their packaging becomes dirt when buried. And they have a 24 month shelf life on the makeup!!
I really appreciate this video. I LOVE Dior, but, the whole 6 month shelf life has completely turned me off to anything other than: foundation, mascara and mascara primer. I think I can finish my foundation in 6 months. I know mascara can't last that long, so I don't mind, but the eye shadow palette?? NOPE!!!
Yes. It definitely feels like a cash grab on their end
Love the backstage on you. Might pick it up just the 6 month puts me off ❤
Yeah, it feels....greedy on their part, that shelf life.
I'm fine with clean beauty, but they need to finish the concept. They are still selling product sizes and using price points that made sense for product with preservatives. With a 6 month expiry date, there will be a LOT of waste. That affects the planet too. Dior might want to consider much smaller product size at a significant price reduction. Remember those old Avon trial lipsticks??
I DO remember those trial lipsticks. I still see the like here and there from brands but they need a HUGE bring back for sure!
I have always really loved to deal with her, but just refused to invest in them anymore, due to the six-month shelflife. I just feel like most of us, all of us, will never go through our entire shadow palette, and six months with all the other makeup, we own, and we are throwing tons of money in the trash. I’m pretty disappointed in DR with a formulations. Both of those pallets and the looks you created are gorgeous too. Sigh.
Yeah sooo…. I would definitely be using it for over 6 months. The product should still be fine, they put the short shelf life to get you to buy more sooner.
I agree and the question becomes will we have to pay attention to this shelflife. With no preservatives, their six months could actually be accurate. And that’s what we have to figure out
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I think what you said is right that all you really need to do is just keep an eye on what your makeup looks and smells like, but I do agree that without the preservatives its probably going to be going off sooner, too soon, but we don’t know when that is so I still stick by my comment that we’re not getting enough bang for our buck, you know?
@@QuinceyG totally. Because even if it lasts longer than six months, it’s not gonna go the distance like our old Makeup used to.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty agreed 1000% I notice that my favorite “clean” mascara, which is amazing (Tower 28) gets all thick and gloopy sooooo fast. My Westman A mascara which is so expensive also did not last. The beautiful Kosas cloud set power, which is amazing, hard pans in weeks when I’ve never had anything hard pan before. Oh well, it is what is is 🙂It the direction the industry is taking now.
You are the first reviewer I've seen who has mentioned that all of these reformulated Dior products expire in 6 months. They've raised their prices at the same time. The "clean" products I've tried before, like Kosas, went really bad in a few months. I had to throw away several foundations because of it, and I'm done. Same with Bite Beauty lipsticks.
I Want preservatives in my makeup! I don't share it, so not worried one bit about contamination. And, if a palette stops performing, I'll pitch it. But I have a few eye palettes that are years old that are still aces. So I'm looking for products that last on the face and on the shelf.
I was already ticked off at the reformulations at both Chanel and Dior, before I knew they expired in 6 months. Not only do these Dior and Chanel people talk to each other, they are price fixing. You bet this is a cash grab! So hello SUQQU, Cle de Peau, and others. Cle de Peau is far superior in performance and finishes, when it comes their powder products, to both Chanel and Dior. SUQQU has really interesting color stories and also has terrific performance. And there are many other brands that I will be revisiting.
I'm not that impressed by logos. I want value and performance. $49-58 lipsticks are a terrible value. $195 and $500 lipsticks are an IQ test. I can do better elsewhere and will.
Sorry about the rant, but I've been watching what these two brands have done over the past 12-18 months with shock and awe. Shocked that these brands have ruined great formulations. And awe that they would raise prices by anywhere from 30-100% for no reason except greed. This shorter shelf life just puts nails in the coffin of the love I Had for these brands.
Thanks for the video. Didn't want to blow up your morning, but my anger has been simmering for a long time.💚
You can add Tom Ford to your list. I don’t know how “clean” Este Lauder is but their prices are ridiculous for a no longer too great formulation. Have a nice day
@@melissabrockman7619 I never drank the Tom Ford Koolaid. But I refer to Estee Lauder as "the great brand destroyer". They ruin every brand they buy. And from what I've seen in reviews, Tom Ford is one.
Deborah! I thoroughly enjoyed this comment and read it twice, agreeing the entire time. You are right and I adore the dialog.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Thanks for your reply. I kind of hate to leave long winded comments. But I have an MBA from an Ivy and did commercial real estate and business consulting for years. I don't have inside knowledge of the cosmetics biz, but I know red flags when I see them. And the reformulation story, accompanied by ensuing price increases, has been a riddled with them. Across all product lines in these brands too. Hard to Not notice.
@@DeborahCarlston I had to laugh. People sometimes ask me why I am over intellectualizing Makeup and I say, “what can I do? I’m over educated. I have to use it for something.” Ha ha. So, we will over intellectualize make up and enjoy doing it
Dior trying to be clean beauty is a huge cash grab. Dior has never been known for their commitment to clean beauty so I can’t imagine those who rejected Dior as an option suddenly rushing to Dior because of their attempt to cater to clean beauty at the expense of long time customers. A six month expiry is ridiculous and assumes someone is only using Dior, but most of us don’t use just one brand exclusively for all their makeup needs.
I LOVED the Dior backstage shadows. I am
glad I am not alone in missing the primer. I truly enjoyed the primer in the palette which was far more useful than the a super light shade that will not work, so it’s one less item available for use. I love their lipsticks, especially being refillable AND those cases, which I have a few, which I can use up pretty quickly, so the 6 month expiry doesn’t bother me with that product.
While I’m disappointed with the changes, I have other options and Dior will sadly be less of a brand option for me going forward. I will say I’m not an anti-clean beauty brand but when a brand just shifts abruptly in hopes of expanding their market share but not all of us are looking to Dior as a clean beauty brand. I’m not saying I want to use makeup with asbestos or lead but I am less appreciative of removing preservatives and reformulating their entire brand. Why not create a new clean beauty line within the brand to see if that market bites without infuriating long time customers.
You’re the best, Rebecca ❤
YOU are the best. I totally agree with you on this. Exactly, it is not that we are demanding they put lead and asbestos in our makeup to make it last longer but this feels disingenuous. I just can’t imagine there was a group of people who stopped buying Dior because they were bad for the planet. And, conversely, there’s no group of people who have started to buy Dior because they are… Claiming… that they are so good for the planet! And if mob beauty can do 24 months… And those products actually turn to dirt when buried, that is literally how progressive they are in their commitment to being Green, if they can go 24 months, who is going to believe this nonsense that Dior is so committed to the environment that their products go bad in six months and, might I add, fill landfills.
@@NotFitforPrintBeautyWell I had no idea that MOB was that sustainable, see that’s a commitment and impressive!!! Dior, not soo much with a 6 month shelf life! The folks who want real clean beauty have never and more than likely will never support Dior in large amounts they make this move profitable. It makes me wonder if Dior thinks that clean beauty lovers are some how intellectually vulnerable to these sorts of cash grabs, of course not. We know they but Dior clearly does not.
@@traciewarren1070 exactly. There’s almost this feeling like they want to take advantage of naïve people out to save the Earth or something. It’s kind of calculating? If that’s the right word
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Right, it turns me off in a big way. The mother earth types will never be into Dior, and that’s ok. Yes, I want products they are beautiful and are not trying to kill me, but I expect authenticity and Dior is giving anything but authenticity. Sure I love their makeup but they are on a hard pause for me right now. I can easily finish a lippie from them within six months but anything else is nearly impossible for me.
TOTALLY. They have an honored tradition of perfume and cosmetics. This feels...too..."get out quick" for the longevity of the house...or the SUPPOSED longevity, you know?@@traciewarren1070
As a professional Makeup Artist the shelf life is too short
Sadly
Oh I totally agree. Can you imagine buying all of this for your kit and it doesn’t make it a year? You couldn’t stay in business. You would spend all of your money repurchasing Makeup.
Will never buy cosmetics that have only a 6 month usage date. Not practical for the consumer. You can count me as an unhappy beauty consumer.
Yes. When companies like mob beauty are doing seriously sustainable things for 24 months before expiration, the six-month feels disingenuous.
I don’t buy Dior since the formula change , by the time I get to my makeup it will be expired. No thank you
It’s not gonna expire by 6 months! Lol they just want you to repurchase sooner.
You make a really good point. With no preservatives it might actually expire very soon. It might not be six months but it could definitely be under a year. With no preservatives this will get interesting
I don’t think 6 months it’s gonna expire, that just spells out them trying to get a repurchase! Who’s gonna use up an entire shadow or foundation in that amount of time…😅
@@belindafischer2920 I do agree that six months is probably on the shorter side but, with no preservatives, they won’t last years. I guess that one we know
@@belindafischer2920 could be but not taking chances I loss a lot lipsticks like that
