Omg LOL I LOVE Orange is the New Black! Hahahaha now I will think of it as that!

[COLOR=800080]Maybe I have been watching too much "Orange is the New Black" lately, but everytime I read about this new holiday palette, I read it as "Crazy Eyes Paris"!

I livechatted with them a couple days ago, and they said it would be available any day now.

Yep, should be on Nordstrom soon, as well as Bloomingdales and Saks, I believe. Nordstrom is having their Fall Beauty Gift next week so I'm hoping the collection comes out next week

For the Canadian ladies, the Fall collection will apparently be available August 15th. I'm a little surprised it's not this weekend, but hey, we shouldn't be in a rush to spend money, right?

I tried a Live Chat on Nordstrom earlier today and they told me 2 weeks, so who knows when we will really see it either. But you're right, we can hold onto our money a little bit longer.

For anyone living in Toronto, the Bloor Street Guerlain boutique has the fall collection in stock. I picked up the Madame Reve Rouge G and Two Parisian this afternoon. The ladies said they're "going to school" for the products soon (I suppose in regards to product specifications) but they are certainly available for sale and are on display to be swatched.

The lipsticks are gorgeous. I didn't expect too much from the blush and my expectations were met. The eyeshadows are actually delightful — although the pink in Two Candy is a disappointment, with essentially no pigment at all. It's 100% sparkle topper. Although maybe you're into that! My makeover using the Fall collection turned out as a very sparkly smoky eye and the Madame Reve lipstick which came home with me.

I saw the fall collection, and came back with Reve only. Batifole is stunning, I love it but I couldn't justify spending so much money on a lipstick I wouldn't wear often. The blush was hard-pressed so I swiped my finger forcefully against it and was able to swatch it on my hand. The colour is pretty but I think I can pass. Glosses were all very sheer. I almost came back with La Petite Robe Noir and Gemma nail polishes, but they can wait.

No love for Flirte Miss QQ?

I'm interested in knowing what are the most popular Rouge G shades, so could you ladies share what your favourites are? I only have Rose Innocent from Spring 2012, which some found to be sheer, but I love it and it shows up on my pigmented lips. I haven't pick up more because they are pricey. Wonder how Provocative compares to Gigi, I looked at some pictures online and gave my counter a call but was told Gigi is discontinued. Bummer!

I have Gigi and love it. Really wish someone would swatch it next to the new fall color and the holiday one.
FYI it's still available online at Saks. I tend to prefer the more pigmented Rouge Gs and the ones without obvious shimmer. Gigi definitely hit the spot for me on all accounts.

Gigi is in Temptalia's swatch database, as are all the fall shades. Here's a link to see them all side by side. Looks like Gigi is a great deal more opaque and more fuchsia than Reve, and Batifole is much deeper and redder. But if you do really want a side by side swatch, I do own Gigi and Reve... (but not Batifole, nor Christine's fancy camera.)

I was thinking of batifole but thanks so much for the offer! I enjoy T's blog but I don't like her lip swatches much even with her fancy camera. I always find the colors to be different than I expected in person. Not sure if it's her lighting or the fact that her lips are a lot lighter than mine. Gigi is not nearly as bright looking on me.

Did you swatch flirt in the store? Did you like it?

I didn't swatch any of the LE shades... they were still so pristine, I couldn't! I know, so lame! Maybe I'll go back tomorrow and take a photo.

Ok so I got a pedicure and this is the fall collection madame batifole nail polish on my toes! Love this polish!!

I should have all 3 fall l/s on Monday and I have Gigi, so will try to swatch them all for you.

On my hand it was a slightly warm red, like something I already have, maybe Flamboyante? I think I can pass. Did you get any of the Rouge Gs?

Ok so i finally caved and bought my first Rouge G lipstick this weekend

I have been eyeing them for a long time but i always held back cause of the price. Was gonna try one of the Guerlain fall lipsticks, but since the fall collection hasn't been released here yet and i was getting a bit impatient, i decided to already get one from the regular line

I ended up with #70 Gigolo, and i must say i'm in love with the formula

It's so smooth, pigmented and moisturizing! Okay the price is a bit steep, but so worth it. I might even skip a few other fall products and get all 3 Rouge G's instead.
