Ingenue, I totally want photos. I'm bloody well looking to be enabled here. Which is stupid, because it's not like I need help. I pretty much had to restrain myself from the RAs today... I have a serious love on for Shalimar all of a sudden (I've gone fuchsia-nuts this week). On top of everything else, my incredible Guerlain rep played an swful trick on me when I was at their counter with The Great Enabler the other day. While I was swaatching out the mosaic bronzer, she made a point of telling him that she was surprised how many men went for the Guerlain bronzers, because it gave them a slightly sunny, healthy look... Awesome. Because it wasn't bad enough when he was encouraging me to buy things for myself, now I'm faced with the concept that there are priducts were could share... I have to say, though, she has a point. The product is so matte that it could easily work for men without making them look all "made up". I'm totally going and buying myself a set of power tools tomorrow.

And Kate, Shalimar would look smashing on you!!!It's one of my faves.........
I picked it up today! I'm just in a very fuchsia- magenta mood lately and I figured... why wait! I knew I was going to get it anyway.
I hate to admit this, but I really am stupidly tempted by the mosaic powder for no reason I can figure out. I don't even like bronzer. I think it's the fact that the compact is nearly the size of my head that fascinates me...
It is something to behold!! And I guess it's not as scarce as I thought - I just found it on the Nordie's site, and it wasn't there last week.
I'm so glad you picked Shalimar up Kate! It's a gorgeous color - and a perfect summer bright! I ordered the 2 lip colors from the link that MissQQ provided - I didn't remember those colors swatching so beautifully, but on her lips they look stunning! I was surprised to find that my local Nordie's is out of both colors, so I just ordered from the site. I'm assuming these are perm....if not, I'd better get my hiney in gear and pick up your Cherry Blossom and Bloom of Rose!
I haven't used the Mosaic bronzer on my face yet, but I love the way it applies on my hand - I'll be cleaning my house all day tomorrow, so likely won't get to it until Tuesday, but I can't wait. I plan to wear it with the GA eye quad......

The Rouge Automatiques are perm- I made sure with about four different Guerlain associates when they came out, because I was pretty much prepared to sell a kidney to pay for the ones I wanted if they were limited. I know I'm going to love Shalimar for summer. I'm already thinking of things to wear with it.
I was joking to The Great Enabler that I could get the gigantic mosaic bronzer and just kind of roll my face around on it as a method of application. A little blending with a powder brush and voila! A whole new makeup trend, I'm sure.

^^ lol. Its not called Giant for nothing.
Cheryl - Oops, I didn't put the link up to tempt you into buying more l/s.
I agree, both looks beautiful on her. Enjoy them and the mosiac on Tuesday!
The MA at the DFS said the automatiques are perm. I didn't go to the counter to see it this weekend so I have to wait for the next. Hopefully the summer collection is out too.

Ok, this thrad is evil! I'm supposed to be a on no-buy but now I want one of the bronzers, either Inca or Mosaic. I'm liking Inca more but not sure :/
For those who have it, which one works best on light medium skin with cool undertone? (I'm NW25)

The inca is really not a traditional bronzer. It's more of a shimmer. I'd say, if you have cooler undertones go with the mosaic. It behaves more like a traditional bronzer, and that shimmer is temporary. Inca has a distinct 'rose' bronze finish too it, and it's easy to go too shimmery with it.

Ohhh and that's not even a good FOTD. I was exhausted when I did that makeup but Hubby INSISTED on dragging me out on the town. LOL
I'm going to do another one soon. The colors are SO pigmented... it's really an excellent quad. If you can get past destroying the pattern, it's totally worth it!
Thanks for reading the blog! I appreciate it!

I second the palette love. Once you can excuse yourself for destroying the very pretty top layer, it's a gorgeous summery collection of shades.
