Looking at those pics I want to fly and purchase that damn Wulong compact no matter the price. But I'm sitting here in a God knows how old tee and lounge pants all by myself. Well I am usually alone during the day. Hubby is out of town and daughter is out. Nice quiet house, except for two bitchy sisters, our 18 yr old cats. So ya see I simply can't bring myself to get off my ass and get dressed:)

I got my first Guerlain products today! I got the Perles du Dragon and the Turandot palette. The Turandot palette will be a sinterklaas gift from my grandparents and I will have to wait to try them, but I will try the Dragon balls tomorrow. They look gorgeous!

I just ordered the Turandot palette and the cranberry Holiday lipstick. I kind of like the gold one too. I went to Neiman Marcus and as soon as I picked up the palette the SA said "That one's sold out!" Well I like the colors but I don't know how it will look on me but it definitely looks different from anything else I have so we'll see.

I guess it is since he is indeed called St. Nicholas too. He has a horse and helpers that are black because of the soot of the chimneys (at least that's the story) and they bring packages to the kids on his birthday. Today he actually arrived in the netherlands.

Did you get them from Douglas or ICIParisXL, by any chance? I don't recall seeing them in my local ICIParisXL the last time I was there.

Are there any past or present MLBB shades in the Rouge Gs? Looking for something that's more of an everyday shade, not so bright, but not draining either if you know what I mean.

Thanks very much for all your kind comments, ladies!

Beautiful!
What's on your lips?
That's Lou-Ling. It shows VERY pink on my lips (which are naturally a sort of cool mauve-pink, so colours tend to show more of a blue tone). I hadn't actually tried the RA Shine formula before, but if they're all like this, then I am in LOVE. They remind me of Nars' semi-sheer shades, in that I find them very hydrating but fairly long-lasting as well. Of course, I'd expect that softer shades would fade faster, but I'm really impressed with the formula.

Thanks for the reference and comments, I'll check it out. :) I only have one Rouge Automatique, so I can't really say anything about the texture and confort of the whole line.

The ICI paris XL's in eindhoven told me that they won't get the collection at all. I found it in a douglas, but I'm not sure if every douglas will get it. They had it on display for about 10 minutes when I came there:p

Oh, so it's Guerlain's answer to MAC's limited release collections then

I'm definitely not going to buy Turandot but I just want to see it IRL. It looks gorgeous, but I just don't wear those kind of shades. re: Dragon Balls, I'll probably give them a miss too, but you never know. Did you get the chance to wear yours yet?

I might as well take a little detour to my local ICIParisXL tomorrow on my way to work and see if the collection is in (we don't have a Douglas here in Delft).

I wore the Dragon Balls yesterday and today and I'm in love! Are you sure you're going to skip?

They have a similar effect as the Forever Marilyn b/p, but FM has a tiny bit more shimmer and the colour is different. The colour of the Dragon Balls is more complex, so it's worth it to me to get both. I also really like the way they smell, but the scent dissapears quickly so you don't have to be afraid that it will be overwelming during the day.
That's strange that Delft doesn't have a douglas. The city seems big enough for it to me. I hope you find the collection so you can see everything for yourself.
