I have so been on the fence about the green quad.....I may have to cave. I have the Paradis ballz....they're really pretty and give me (NW25) good color, despite what T says.....I really like them!

I've also ordered Ballade....now I think I also need Flirt. It's gorgeous!!

Yay for Izzy's and Blush G Sakura! I think my Blush G is one of my most prized makeup possessions.........

^^ Let us know if you get the quad. The collection is not launched here yet but I feel I'll cave too. 3 looks to do with the green quad! The blogger says the grey is not pigmented, is that so? I like the looks! http://www.messywands.com/2012/12/3-looks-1-palette-guerlain-ecrin-4.html?m=1

^^ Wow! I REALLY like the 3rd look! Very pretty, and unexpected! I think I'm convincing myself of the need for it ;).

Flirt is gorgeous!!! I searched it today and decided to order it when I got home. It's a very complex color - cant wait to get it!

I played around with the palette today to make sure it's a keeper. It really is! No pigmentation problems with any of the shadows. A light touch is all you need to build it because going in too heavy handed, you will have to blend forever. These remind me of Chanel shadows and that's always a good thing. Each color is flattering on my skin. The coral is amazing. It's subdued, with a little shimmer and just gorgeous. Don't be afraid of it. I did one eye with coral on the lid and the darkest green/gray in the crease and the other eye had light green on the lid and the other shade of dark green in the crease. I loved both looks, but I prefer the light green on the lid because it really opened my eyes and I really think that's just one of the best colors on me. I love green!

You're making me so excited for it. I love greens too! I'm glad to hear the coral has a bit of shimmer, because it will make it different from the other corals I have which are matte.

I am so glad to hear your positive review on this. It is funny but when I was in the store purchasing the purple palette I thought of you and how much you would love the greens in this one..

Really? Aww. Yeah, when I was in the mall and saw the display I told myself don't go over there. The price was killing me. I couldn't help it, though. After swatching and seeing how gorgeous all of it is. Sometimes, you just gotta give in. The quality of the shadows and the packaging is so nice. I won't make these Guerlain quads a habit, though.

LOL!! I ordered it last night - it is GORGEOUS!! You'll love it!! Shontay, I hear you! I said the same thing.......the quads have been a siren since they came out. Turnadot is one of my favorites, and in the perm line, there's not a bad one in the bunch. The Rouge Automatiques are a weakness too, but I seem to be a little 'stronger' in the will power department with them :D. Glad you love what you got!!

Oh that's funny!! I had bought one for Elena in case she couldn't get hers in Europe, and just returned it at Nordies yesterday. I wish I had known!

Oh I know - I considered keeping it, but know I will never, ever use all of the makeup I have!!! I can always call my SA to see what they did with it, if you like?
