I went to Sephora today and they had the Rouge Automatiques. I swatched the one that I ordered: Fleur de Feu. It's very pretty, so I don't regret it (I should have it by Wed). Nahema is also gorgeous. I would pass on the rest because I have similar colors. You guys were right, I can totally deal with the scent b/c it's very faint. I thought it was funny that the Sephora testers were in standard lipstick tubes. They had one box open on the side to reassure that we get that super cool packaging once we buy.

Cheryl - very exciting! Look forward to hearing about terra inca and perhaps another rouge automatique.

katred - beautiful, both lip colours! You have naturally beautiful lips! cherry blossom looks like a gorgeous rose pink that I can just put on without thinking. If it looks like this on me I'll get it. Terra inca doesn't look too shimmery on and that's great!

I thought I'll be getting the rouge automatiques this friday but I'm wrong. Getting them only at the end of May, and who knows when I'll get the summer collection. Probably end of june.
Thanks! I think Cherry Blossom would work on a lot of different skin tones. For a comparison, this is Temptalia's review with swatches- her complexion is darker and warmer than mine :

It really is a lovely, nuanced shade that goes anywhere.

Ooooohhhh Kate. After seeing Cherry Blossom on you, I think I "need" it. Wow, gorgeous.

I'm thinking about getting the pressed Meteorites powder in Teint Rose, too. I like the idea of glowy and matte in one.....

I can't wait to see how Cherry Blossom looks on you. I'm amazed at how it just seems to be the perfect light pink for everybody. I'm having to restrain myself from wearing it all the time.

I apologise for the really dim question, but can anyone explain the difference between the Rouge G and Rouge Automatiques? I know the packaging is different but are the formulas particularly different too?

I got my Rouge Automatique the other day. It's neat. I kept playing with the packaging. It's a pretty orange/coral. Problem is, I have the same shade from YSL. I was hoping it would be a little different. So, I'm taking it back. I may try another shade later. Perhaps Nahema.

The RA formula is lighter and shinier, but the coverage is still pretty much opaque (except the lightest colours). You can definitely feel the difference on, but both are really nice.

I got to see the automatiques at another counter so I haven't bought any but will do so at my usual counter. I gave it a good sniff and think the scent will not bother me. It smells fainter than the kisskiss l/s and l/g that I have. Didn't manage to swatch all of them but the stand outs for me are Apres L'Ondee, Coque D'or (gorgeous strawberry jam), Champs Elysees (what the model is wearing) and Shalimar. I haven't examine the reds.

katred, cheryl or anyone with the l/s, is it as moisturizing as the RC or RA?

I find it quite moisturising- more like the RA than the RC.

^^ Sounds great, thanks!

The guerlain website has done a pretty and easy to navigate section for the new lipsticks. I'm exploring, and there is also an iphone application too.

On the summer collection, anyone of you has the cream e/s? I wonder if it looks good on it's own and works well as a base. Cafemakeup has done a review of the bronze Maya.

^^ Miss QQ, I am super interested in the cream shadows! The color Havana, the greenish-taupe one, is the one I'm lemming. I read a review of it here: http://delicatehummingbird.blogspot.com/2011/04/guerlain-ombre-fusion-02-havana.html
...and the third-to-last picture in the post of her with it on her eyes made me swoon. I want it!!



She also reviewed the Maya shade, but that one seems easier to dupe to me?




I am trying SO hard to resist this collection. I don't need the Inca bronzer, I don't need it, I don't need it. (If I repeat it enough, I'll believe it...)
For now, I think my list is the Havana cream e/s and the orange l/g (Mambo?).

^^ Thanks for the link, Havana is stunning like you say! I like the slightly shimmery look. I agree that Maya is more dupable. There is a lighter rose shade Bahia which I think would be very easy to wear so I await the review. I'm hoping the cream e/s blends easily both with finger and brush. Let us know if you get the items! I'm also interested in one of the glosses! And I think I want the bronzer.

Edit: I saw the review on Cafemakeup for the 3 e/s. I think I will pass Bahia. I want Havana, and maybe Maya.

Having tried them just by swatching on my arm, I have to say, these are really impressive. the colours have depth and dimension and they are really beautiful! I hope that they come out with more in this formula... I might yet be converted to creams!
