Thanks for the link, Tushik. :) I'm loving both eye shadow palettes (Spring Whisper

) and the meteorites compacts. I hope that the compacts are permanent because I want them all. The Angelic Radiance meteorites pearls look lovely, but I'm trying very hard to get over the cardboard packaging. Why cardboard of all things?! I would have preferred hard plastic or the metal containers they have for the reformulated meteorites. The Kiss Kiss lipsticks are a maybe because I'd like to see swatches first before making a final decision.

Shine automatiques are like a lipstick and balm packed in one. They are sheer, some can be more opaque than other, some can be glittery, others have more sheen, but they are all hydrating and smooth. They add a little more pop for your natural lip color. Rouge automatiques are more pigmented, creamy, smooth, moisturizing, and have an awesome packaging. Most of the shades are opaque and pigmented, but others can be a little frosty, have more sheen or pearl, or have more slip. All of the shade names are named after one of their perfumes. Unfortunately, many rouge automatique shades are being silently discontinued, so if you live near a Guerlain counter that has all of the shades, then now is time to stock up on a few shades. Katred mentioned some of the discontinued shades a few pages ago. From what I can remember the discontinued list includes: (103) Chant d'Aromees, (105) Vol de Nuit, (122) Liu, (123) Habit Rouge, (140) Mitsouko, (141) Quand Vient l'Ete, (161) Cherry Blossom, (162) Bloom of Rose, and (163) Rose Bengale. If they wanted to play the musical chairs of discontinuing shades, (104) Jicky, (105) Vol de Nuit, and (140) Mitsouko should've been the ones to go.


Here's some swatches of the RA and SA that I have:




Top row: (661) Reflex, (660) Illusion, (165) Champs Elysees
Second row: (144) Insolence, (171) Attrape-Coeur, (701) Bianca Ora
Third row: (602) Tonka Imperiale, (760) Luo-Ling, (700) Altoum
Fourth row: (240) Pamplelune, (262) Extrait de Rose

Wow! Thanks chica. I can definitely see what you mean about some being sparkly vs more sheer vs more creamy. Such a shame that some are being discontinued. I'll have to look for Katred's post.

Ooooh that is really pretty on you! That Rose Bengale was my favourite from your arm swatch and your lip swatch is even nicer. Your eyelashes are really pretty too.

The Rouge G formula is pure excellence. It's creamy, pigmented (unless it's the obvious sheer ones) and hydrating, the latter being a huge plus for me. Speaking of Rouge Gs, the Guerlain counter at Sears in my country has Madame Batifole, Madame Flirte, Madame Reve, Gigolo, and Provocative from last year's holiday collection. Gigolo is a little out of my comfort zone, but it's a great and intense berry shade. I didn't like any of the Madames. :( They're a little too grown up for me, but they are nice though. Provocative on the other hand is awesome and is my type of color. :) I did a comparison with Madame Batifole and Provocative because they were mentioned to be similar colors, but I have to disagree with that. Despite being in the same color family, Provocative is brighter while Madame Batifole is more deep and a much more mature version of Provocative. I might break bank one day and go for either Provocative or Geraldine since I've been hesitant to buy a Rouge G due to the price. Anyways, I finally have the Attrape-Coeur eyeshadow quad. :D I also got a free metallic taupe-ish bag with samples and a full terracotta lipgloss. I haven't tried the lipgloss but all I know is that it's shade #01 and it's a nude. I got a makeover from the lady, but she overdid the makeup and I ended up looking like a new age version of a glam rocker (Gigolo was a part of that makeover) or a kid who played with too much of her mom's makeup on the drawer. I had to remove most of it half an hour later because it was too much for me and I work at night in a very conservative restaurant in which makeup must be minimum and natural looking. :/ I still haven't bought any meteorites perles because I'm too busy with finals but once I finish with that, I'll go for the holiday and crazy perles because those two are long overdue to be with me.

Gigolo AND Madame Batifole?! My two lippy unicorns along with Greta. :sigh:
