Guerlain Spring 2015- Les Tendres

Based on light swatching I did earlier, I'm most excited about the compact; left such a beautiful finish on the skin. The blush is very very pretty; a glowy soft pink. It has such a flattering finish.

Oh and regarding the packaging of the blush meteorites, I am Not that happy at all. I was okay with it till I got it but the box isn't that sturdy cardboard even. It does smudge easily and it's not possible to wipe it clean bec the cardboard packaging can't take it and rubs off the top later!! yup I tried rubbing a small smudge and really regret!! The pearls itself are really nice, pigmented and I really like!!!

Oh bummer!

I agree. I'm going to have to be careful to only handle these with clean hands. Its straight up cardboard, I feel it might get dirty if one touches their face a lot while doing their makeup. It would have been nice for a protective clear coat over it. It bother me a little, but the blush is sooo pretty I can deal with it. And last week I was like "i am *not* getting that." :lmao: I am WEAK

That's great to hear! My Dore compact just arrived today. I was worried it may be too dark for me but first impressions - it's not as dark in the pan as I thought it might be. It's rainy dreary and overcast so I'll wait until tomorrow (or whenever some sunlight returns!) and swatch it. But initial impressions are fabulous Glad you're loving yours!

I had high hopes that it'd be the good cardboard packaging.

My worry too Ella, which is why I ordered medium. Dore will be on the horizon for me too though.
​ I hate this weather sometimes but boy is it great for reading and just lazing about!!!

Me too Naomi---maybe because it's a blush they were thinking it wouldn't last as long and durability wasn't an issue. Well now we need to be concerned w/where we
store them.

My order is ready for pickup at NM so I'm going to head over on Monday to get them since I have some errands in that area to do then anyway.
