Lady Sings The Blues...Dior 3 Couleurs Smoky Eye Palette In 381 Smoky Blue

Dior is one of my favorite high end cosmetic brands. With every seasonal release, I feel the color spectrum in each collection always hit the mark.

Released as part of the Mystic Metallics collection, the 3 Couleurs Smoky Eye Palette in 381 Smoky Blue, creates a mesmerizing peacock blue smokey eye. I'm obsessed with these type of murky eye shadow shades. 

I'm not sure if 381 Smoky Blue was released internationally, but I'm sure one of you lovely will let me know ;) 

The 3 Couleurs Smoky Eye Palette in 381 Smoky Blue is/was limited edition and retails for ¥6090 ($62.52). 

So you can see these eye shadows in action, I've included two looks I wore using the 381 Smoky Blue palette. As usual, I've also swatched some of the other products used for color reference.
