I had no idea there was a Guerlain thread! I just reviewed ( and also made a quick demo video ) the new Rouge G in Rose Grenat (LE) and I'm in love with the formula; so smooth and pigmented.

Gypsy (#41) is a beautiful warmer orange with gold shimmer. I think of it as more of an autumn orange, a bit browned, muted... very pumpkin-like.

Genna (#28) is a bright red-orange. Depending on your skin tone, it might pull more orange or more red, but on its own, it's pretty much dead in the centre. This one seems more like a "spring orange"- juicy and clear and saturated.

There's a new orange (Geneva) with the shades that are being released for summer. I don't know how much different it is than Genna, but it looks a bit more orange and just a little less opaque.

Here's photos of Gypsy and Genna on me. That might not help in terms of the skin tone, since we're quite different in that regard, but it'll at least give you a sense of the shades.

Genna is your colour, it looks stunning on you ! Gypsy is pretty too, :)

Thanks for sharing---It's gorgeous on you. I purchased Rose Grenat, but have not yet tested or worn it. I was sold on the shade & packaging. I'm thrilled the formula is
equally amazing!

Yes Medgal it is gorgeous ! As you know I am not an enabler ;) and not a real fan of Rouges G. So far I had just Luxure an Extrait de Rouge ( omg what a name lol ) and I purchased the 4 new ones ( Rose Grenat, Gladys, Rose Glacé and Géraldine ) the most impressive is Rose Grenat and the less impressive is Rose Glacé, which is still pretty, very sheer pale pink veil on the lips, Gladys is very pretty and Géraldine sheerer. I also have Madame Batifole ( totally forgot to mention this one ) it is great too ! I now have enough Rouges G, but honestly if I could I would have 2 Rose Grenat.

I bought the Sun Celebration Palette and the lip gloss in Pink Clip. The gloss is gorgeous and the bronzer is very versatile. It smells divine too. Like orange blossom.

I just got Sun Celebration (Bloomingdale's last one) yesterday. Have yet to play with it... but I might get the chance this afternoon!

Hi Ingenue! Did you have to say, "the last one".....I have one sitting in my online cart. I hope you get the chance to check it out this
afternoon because this could be an important, pivotal moment for me. I'm counting on your review to tip the, 'to buy or not to buy scales for me'.

Hi Medgal! Just for you, I'll mess with it this afternoon. If the sun decides to come out today, I'll be able to photograph it in natural light (which is most true). It's gorgeous, but the display was lacking for me. I swatched it with fingers, and that horrid brush (that's so pretty, but terrible with application) from Guerlain. Maybe it was the lighting. I'm going to play with it today to see what's what.

@katered: I have not ventured info Guerlain lipsticks, but if Genna ends up in my home I will blame you. I had to keep going back to look at that pic with you and Genna. It is fantastic on you. We have totally different complexions but that intense shade is calling me from my computer screen.

I'm getting one for Mother's Day as well - and it's all Starlight's fault. She twisted my arm ferociously. Once she got hers, I was done for.

it tis true. i had to work very hard to convince her to get it. took hours upon hours of convincing and twisting. I was all fine and safe and convinced it was too dark until someone sent me links

i think someone wanted me to get it so they didn't feel guilty spending a whole lotta money alone.

now we dance and wait for them to arrive!

<--- wait we need a 3rd person to join in the fun.
