Guerlain discussion

Weird so they launch Africa Rhythm and Indian bronze the same year?
Here mine Terracotta bronzer Indian Bronze circa 2008 also... maybe the other one is lighter. Mine you need a good tan to pull it off.

Apparently they released 3 bronzers:


The third one is called Orient sun..

I really like the look of it

Also of those dissing the cardboard packaging from Guerlain spring collection. Here a bronzer released Summer 2009 Terracotta princess powder (which is more a bronzer, then the Indian bronze who is more a highlighter). even if it is cardboard it is very sturdy and the design is very pretty.

This is beautiful! I would buy this but I wouldn't buy the blush.. I love seeing photos from older collections, I can only find promo pictures in google.

The color is not totaly accurate : it is warmer in real life

Very pretty, thank you for sharing! Can't wait for these to arrive in the UK and I can see them in person.

:eyelove: The screw top packaging looks pretty, when it's not plain :lol:

I love this.

Is that spelling error on 'rhythm' on the external packaging for real???!! Even in French it's not spelled that way (it would be 'rythme', at least according to Google Translate).

I don't know what happened to your original post when I quoted but I wanted to say that Indian Bronze looked so pretty!

@medgal tell her I said hi too

I gave her your message Glammy. She was very moved by it.

So pretty----sophisticated, elegant are the two words that come to mind

So lovely. The cardboard packaging didn't keep me from buying those pretty little blush balls!!!

Dominique is a sweetheart

That she is.

Thank you for the swatches! I like Indian bronze, I want a new bronzer that's not with just an overspray. I love Terra Ora for summer!

 

[MissTania]

Oh lord! Try it under first and then on it's own when you have more time to play. I love it BTW!

After buying I realised I had no idea how to use it so I read the leaflet

The first time I wore it alone, the second with a moisturiser under,

I think I would prefer to keep wearing it with a moisturiser under as it didn't seem that creamy on its own- my skin is combinatio/oily btw.

So far I like it for a break from my Clinique powder foundation and as an alternative to medium coverage liquid foundations.

It is light coverage and nice for days when I don't want much - I also like that is has SPF.

Love the tube/pump design too.

I tried my Guerlain Terra Ora for the first time yesterday; it's the same size and in the same wooden packaging as Sun Celebration. It's lovely; the outer ring is more matte and the centre works well as a highlighter. I'm sure many swirl through both, but I prefer bronzers that aren't shimmery. Guerlain really does do bronzer better than anyone else.

I'm still torn on the summer bronzers. I really think that with Sun Celebration, Terra Ora and the regular Terracotta and 4 Seasons that I have all the shades of bronzer that are in the four versions. I'm drowning in blush, so I'm going to try to talk myself out of getting one of the new ones and stick to my usual summer bronzer/blush combo and wait until they launch something in a later collection that I can't resist.

I don't really feel any desire to add to my collection in general at this point(unlike the last few years) so I'm mostly just getting the odd item I adore. I can't remember the last time I bought a MAC product other than BTM lippies or e/s; I think it was last summer. I still really like and use the MAC e/s, lippies and blush I already have but I've realized that my new additions are invariably other brands.

Awesome MissTania----so glad you found a way to wear it that works so well for you.

Funny, I wear it to take a break from my Chanel powder foundation!!!!

Same here Audrey. I started exploring other brands and never looked back. Like you, I have quite a bit of it in my stash---things that I truly love but I haven't been
compelled to add anything else beyond B2M, and I haven't kept up with the collections either.
