Ingenue -- Sounds like you had a good haul Hope you enjoy it! What do you think of the Inca powder? I'm tied between getting that or the cream eyeshadows. Everything looks TOO good lol
If you want a lighter shade of Guerlain foundations you have to get the Asia versions. I believe StrawberryNet usually carries them?
I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts. So far, I think I want the shadow "quad" and the wonderful Inca powder, but the glosses and the cream shadows look tempting as well (and this from a lady who generally hates cream shadows).Shontay... the Guerlain lippies smell like the same violet scent as all of their products... but the scent is VERY light and it fades quickly. Chanel lippies have a distinct rose scent to them which tends to stick around... so if you can deal with that, Guerlain should be no problem at all.
On another note:
MY TERRA INCA AND TERRA INDIGO STUFF CAME!IT'S FABULOUS! I'm scared to use them. I might have to get another just to use it... damned shame.

So you bought 7? They sound gorgeous! Thanks for your review!
I wish more companies would figure this out!! Dior is actually good too. My Aurore bronzer was only $1 more I believe. Come on Chanel!! Maybe then I would buy you in Canada!Oh no- I wish! I just got the two. The other five I want to go back for!!
But this must be my Guerlain week, because I was out today and what appeared in my path but the Terra Inca collection. It is all lovely stuff and it was hard to resist. In the end, I just had to cave to the beautiful bronzing/ highlight powder because...It is seriously gorgeous, even if you discount the work-of-art packaging. And the jasmine scent is heavenly- not strong, but you can certainly smell it if it's close to your nose... A really nice extra touch of luxuriousness.
And, because it wasn't tempting enough already, it would appear that, for the summer collection, Guerlain has made the Canadian prices equal to the US ones!!(In fact, I'm pretty sure from the cost with tax that the powder was $65 instead of $70. The shadow quad is $60.) Nice to see that at least one company figured out that whole currency thing, even if the Rouge Automatique line is still a bit more expensive here.
It's funny, because it looked very shimmery swatched on my hand, but the shimmer was far more subdued- quite subtle, really- on my cheeks. I think that smoothing the product out tones down the shimmer a lot. I find it's a really nice product for a someone like me who's a little shy of going "full-on" with the bronzer, but I also think that this is a powder that would look lovely on everyone. Here's a couple of pics I took for my blog review of me wearing the powder and the two different Rouge Automatique shades:Katred - great that they didn't jack up the prices. Is the bronzer very shimmery? I'm pleased to hear you like it. I keep going back and forth but I haven't seen it in person. The Rouge automatique though will be out first, they are launched next Friday.
Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous!! You lemming creator!! I just checked out your 30 days of lipsticks on your blog.
