Guerlain discussion

[Pippilotta]

I am going to a town with a Guerlain counter later this week, and this thread has convinced me that I'll have to take a good, long look at their bronzers. I have never had one, and never felt the need, but....

Which one will you recommend for very pale skin?

I'm using Terracotta 00, which is the lightest shade they make in that line. You may also want to try the 4 Seasons bronzer in Nude.

Thank you! I'll make sure to try them!

Thank you! Just goes to show how OFF Temptalia swatches are too lol.

I am in the mindset that they haven't added the pink one on yet. I've been stalking Harrods and Selfridges online for weeks after Escentual told me someone else got the exclusive on that. I haven't seen it once.

Well, the light pink one has now disappeared off Selfridges, so I think we've missed Rose Grenat.

If you want I will Check it out at my local Sephora but last week it was sold out ! Such a gorgeous shade, Guerlain ought to add it to the permanent range I think.

I've just read in Temptalia's review of Rose Grenat that it's very similar to Gigi. If anyone has both RG and Gigi, could they please kindly post a comparison swatch? Many thanks!

So... I totally just got my Terracotta 4 Seasons bronzer with Ebates' 15% cash back offer. I'm not sure when it expires but I had to take advantage!

On that note, does anyone know if Rose Grenat is exclusive to a store or something as we don't seem to have that in the UK? Such a shame, I really want it.

RG is my absolute favorite. I think I saw it at 2 different dept stores here in the states. I think someone else from the UK has been awaiting it as well. I certainly
hope it comes your way, Anitacska.

Hmm I am wondering if she just meant their store, as stores often move stuff that doesn't sell in order to put a new brand in, not many standing stores near me actually have a Guerlain section. I can't see Sephora phasing out Guerlain completely? But you never know I guess!

I'd be surprised, since they have the same parent company, but who knows?

I didn't find them too similar. Gladys is much more similar to Gigi IMO. Rose Grenat is much more reddened. On me, it's very similar to Provocative. I guess it depends on how close is close. They're both very pigmented bold pinks, but I think there's enough difference to warrant owning both.

Thanks, Katred! I've just seen a review and the blogger says it's a dupe for Provocative. Maybe I don't need Rose Grenat after all, seeing that it's so difficult to come by and pricey. Here's the link: http://www.mywomenstuff.com/2014/05/guerlain-rouge-g-rose-grenat-864/

My pleasure. The colours as shown in her comparison are pretty much exactly as they look on me.

I'm so excited! Now I need to figure out what brush to use with it. Any recommendations? The Terracotta Bronzing brush is what the SA at Nordstrom used on me and I loved the finish but is it necessary?

I don't know if the Guerlain brushes are so good in fact. They are pricey and well, maybe you could try another brush, a better one I mean.

I think Provocative is quitea good dupe, and yes it is pricey sorry for that.

Thanks. But I still want Rose Grenat, lol, if nothing else for the packaging!

I'm hopeless....

 

[Dominique33]

LOL yes the packaging is pretty

 

[Dominique33]

That's why I'll do my best
