The wet swatches are amazing Starletta. Enjoy!! I purchased the Les Précieux 504 palette and hope I love it just as much!Since I finished hauling, I'm starting to swatch (and I'll post a family pic later).
First up, Ecrin 4 Couleurs #18 Les Nuees. Swatches don't do it justice, partly because my lighting stinks. The light blue is really a pearly iridescent with flashes of purple that makes a breathtaking lid color for a true ice princess look (I've done it twice this week). I use the quad with a damp brush- I think you'll be surprised with the difference. All 4 shades are distinct to the eye in person, but photography is lacking on my behalf.
The standard... I'm as pale and pink as they come, for reference. All swatching was done with a MAC 242.
This is by far more accurate, but I wanted to post non-flash since someone inevitably would ask.
I know T hated this quad, but I'd submit that it works on me precisely because, as my local counter manager quipped "I'm the fairest of them all." You can see a little bit of the special quality I've been raving about in the wet flash swatches. I use the first two shades for a look that I truly love.

And I'm going to quit monopolizing the thread, but here are my final selections from Guerlain Spring 2015. First, without flash, and then with flash.
The final tally:
Meteorites Compact 02 Clair
Meteorites Compact 03 Medium
Meteorites Compact 04 Dore (I'll use this a bronzed/blush for cheeks only)
Ecrin 4 Couleurs #18 Les Nuees
Meteorites Perles de Blush- Angelic Radiance
Kiss Kiss #560 Rosy Silk
Kiss Kiss #540 Peach Satin
Maxi Lash in Marine
La Lacque Couleur #368 Baby Rose
I really should re-name this collection "shut up and take my wallet." Every season, there's a collection that catches my eye. This season it happened to be Guerlain.
Really great haul Starletta. ENJOY in good health------I hope you're feeling much better!!!

I don't know if anyone else saw this or not, but I saw the UAE highlighter on this post:

It's listed as Guerlain Soft Satin Powder - Limited Edition (I think). If you scroll down the page you can see it. It says the US launch date is January 2015. So maybe it will come here, maybe not. Just thought I'd share since I didn't see this listed already.

Interesting!! This seems to be a part of a different collection for the US if I am understanding this article correctly. Because blanc de perle is a different name from the current spring collection. I'd be excited if we got the highlighter here.

Peach Satin is gorgeous and I only purchased it because Ella's swatches here on this thread were so pretty.
I'm thrilled with it. RS is a bit too light for me.
Really great haul Starletta. ENJOY in good health------I hope you're feeling much better!!!
PS will look so good on you 'C'.
Thanks! It always helps to look fabulous while recovering!

Hello ladies! I've just skimmed the thread catching up, but glad you're all enjoying your goodies.
I FINALLY got a call from Shoppers today saying the collection was going out. I'd asked them to pull the Perles de Blush and the Medium compact. I was busy doing some home stuff this morning and went for a hike with my hubby in the early afternoon, and finally stopped by about 4pm. They were SOLD OUT of the Perles de Blush and all but the Dore compact. Apparently they only got three of each, and most were pulled for regulars.
I probably could have worn either the Clair or Medium powder (I'm probably about NC22 right now), but there were no Clair left anyway. I'm fine with the Medium; the undertone is better for me and it's so sheer that I doubt it makes much of a difference. Besides, I have the NARS Light Reflecting powder and Diffused Light, so a faintly deeper option is a nice add to my collection.
I absolutely freaking ADORE the Pearls de Blush. I expected to loathe the packaging but I think it's adorable. The blush itself (as I'm sure you all know by now) is FABULOUS. It swatched glittery on my hand, but not at all on my cheeks. Guerlain just does perfect finishes (blush, bronzers, powders).
I tried the Baby Glow, but Clair was way too pink for me (the reason I have no Guerlain foundations). I didn't bother trying lipsticks, because I have no intention of stepping on that slippery slope. I have lots of MAC and NARS lippies in rotation and I'm happy with them. I'm not even trying Chanel or Guerlain because no good can come of that.
I had my hubby with me and expected him to fall over at the prices but he was hugely impressed that I essentially got them free (had to pay the taxes) and that I told him to go pick up $40 of other merchandise so I could redeem $170 worth of points. I was tempted to get another perfume but thought I'd share the love.
Time to start saving points again for the summer collection!

British Beauty Blogger had some swatches. There's a link a couple of pages back here, or you can just check her blog- I think the post was early last week. Those are the only ones I've seen. T also said she's received her order that included it, so I'd expect her review this week.

Thanks!! I will look up bbb site. I am not interested in the blue quad, but I may want the green one. Edit:!just looked at the swatches. The green quad also looks like a skip.
