Guerlain discussion

[katred]

Holy wow! I've been test-driving the Inca bronzer and it has quickly become my favorite highlighter for summer. My all-time HG is (of course) Dior's Amber Diamond, but A/D gives me a shine while Inca seems to give me a serious lit-from-within GLOW. Super glowing skin -- in loveeeee! I don't think I'll be able to pull it off as well when I pale out for winter, so I'm trying to get the best use out of it while the sun's still out.

Thanks for the recommendations, ladies!!

ITA! I am shocked at how incredibly useful this stuff is. I was thinking it would be a decorative "Special occasion" kind of thing, but I'm seriously wearing it every day.

Hi ladies! So I think I'm HOOKED on Guerlain. Where I live there is no Sephora or Neimans, so when I took a mini vaca with my mom to Honolulu, I went bonkers!!!

I ended up purchasing:
Or Imperial Sublime Radiant Powder (I'm in 2 weddings this year and I think it'll look so pretty spritzed in my hair)
Ombre Fusion Cream shadows in Bahia and Maya
Terra Inca Star Powder (SOOOOO gorgeous!!!)
Kiss Kiss lip primer
Rouge G in Greta (a little bit of a stronger shade for me, but such a pretty color)
Meteorites in Teint Beige

Now I'm super excited to see what upcoming products Guerlain has. I don't think I'd buy the dinner plate sized bronzer, that would last me 5 lifetimes lol.

^^ Haha, I tested out the dinner plate bronzer at my Nordies and it smelled quite strong, even for an open tester. Like a baby powder ish smell?

Guerlain has really been climbing lately, the products have been gorgeous!!

 

[Shypo]

^^ Interesting - mine smells when I first open it, but it doesn't smell like anything on my skin after about a minute.....I love the smell. I'm going to have to try the pink blush combo - that sounds awesome! I can't wait for tomorrow!

I've been lusting after Greta for a while. I'm a firm believer that everyone needs at least one deep, classy red in their lipstick collection.

Here's what we can look forward to from Guerlain in the Fall... Garconne and Gigolo sound amazing...

^^ Thanks! I saw them at another blog and stared at the quads for a long time. Couldn't decide if I want any of them, and which one I like most, because there are 2 colours so alike in each quad. But I'm curious to see reviews and swatches.

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

There's a quad in the lower right corner of the promo image that I am LOVING. It has like gunmetal greys and a deep teal-ish color. Looks lovely!

 

[Shypo]

Several of these are appealing to me - eek. My wallet is really doomed! Guess it's a good thing there's some time between my Chanel haul and this inevitable one......

 

[User38]

ignores everybody.. lol.

Guerlain has glorious quads.. and I won't have tiles on my roof.

 

[aero]

Oooooh! The quad in the middle and the top left looks so pretty!

 

[Miss QQ]

I look forward to hearing all your raves and recommendations on the quads!

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

Ah, I forgot I saw some swatches for this collex a few days ago!

http://time4beauty.biz/?tag=guerlain

It's in Russian, but the blogger has swatched 4 of the quads and two of the new Rouge Gs.

 

[Shypo]

^^ Bummer, I got a 'bad gateway' message (don't know if it's on my end, or the link's end). Do they look pigmented? I've never splurged on a Rouge G lipstick (but I did splurge on the Rouge G blush!!

)

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I saw the swatches! Very pigmented! There are even swatches of the shadows used wet.

Thanks! The swatches look great- nice pigmentation, as MissQQ said. I'm loving the look of Garconne.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Yup the glow that inca gives is so addictive. I keep wanting to wear it day after day. Can it be worn over pink blush, has anyone tried the combi? I bought terracotta bronzer in 00 today. The packaging is pretty but it feels difficult to open the lid. I don't want to damage the powder like what happened to my inca. I visited the guerlain counter at DFS and no giant mosaic there too.

How do you like the 00 bronzer Miss QQ?

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I like it very much except for the smell. The smell doesn't bother me a lot, as it is detectable only when I'm applying it. It isn't like a bronzer, I use it like a subtle blush, and it gives a pretty, healthy warm sand colour. It is not orange on me, more pink, not quite peach too.

[/quote] Like MissQQ I love the Guerlain bronzer in 00, except for the smell and it burns on my skin for a bit when I apply it. I believe it's the perfume that my skin does not like, the burning was less the less smelled like violets. If you're interested, I'd try before buy.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Thanks, I will skip. Do not like burning and if your skin burns that does not bode well for mine. I'm still surprised my skin can tolerate the Chanel JC rose scent, so I don't think I'll press my luck with this.
