Both Blondes 00 and 02 are now in stock on Sephora.com. Still no brunettes though! What gives?

She's not crazy about the packaging; thinks it's too light and plastic for her taste and isn't up to Guerlain standards.

The review of the powder itself is somewhat mixed; she thinks it's only slightly darker than face powder and won't be of any use to those with deeper complexions. She notes that the deeper strip can't be used as blush and merely serves to warm up the product a bit. On the positive side, it's much more subtle than most bronzers, will be near impossible to mess up, has great staying power and leaves a beautiful finish on the skin

I got that e-mail notification too. When I took a look just as you did-----no brunettes. They peace-mewled a couple of other collections. I'm wondering if they put it up on
their site as they get it.

Has anyone tried the Blanc de Perle foundation? This: http://www.selfridges.com/en/guerlain-blanc-de-perle-essence-infused-foundation_397-77002296-BDPFLUID/?previewAttribute=02 I bought it the other day and am wearing it for the first time today, and I really like it. It gives a very good coverage without being heavy and the 02 Beige Clair shade is a perfect match for me. It also comes in 01 for the really pale since it's an Asia exclusive product (but luckily Selfridges stocks it).

That sounds really good! Can you share later or in a few days how long it lasts on the skin?

Yes! Thank you my French-speaking Canadian friend! :urock:  I was on a mission to learn French a couple of years ago but of course without anyone to practice with, it's all academic (and easily forgotten). Made it through several Pimsleur lessons, and did my best with this using Google Translate. But thank you for doing a proper translation!  I'm on #teamswatch in spirit, but if my nearest Sephora doesn't have them I may just have to pick blindly and hope for the best.

you can still do it!! I went to school in France for a year when I was in Uni, while I can't speak well anymore I can still read and I'm sure I've lost a million brain cells between then and now for various reasons! hehe! try an alliance francais as they often have classes with french teachers!

Thank you for the update! I'll try to get a sample, I think I would like it.

Yes, I think you would. That said, Guerlain foundations are my favourite anyway, in particular the discontinued Parure Aqua ones, this comes very close second, or maybe even overtakes the PA one.
