Yes I would like to know this as well. As of now I'm more tempted by the lip products.

Les Perles is calling my name!
I'm just a little bummed that the shape and size of the quads have changed. I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to consistent packaging, and since I have about 16 quads already, it would be ideal if these new ones had the same packaging.
The holiday collection quad also looks appealing, so I'm going to have to give in and buy a new quad sooner or later!

Do you have the link or pics of the holiday collection? I haven't seen anything about the quad. Here are some info on the collection and I'm excited!

Thanks! All I have seen is something similar.

These shadows are very pigmented, not sheer at all - I am also going to pick up Les Fumes - though I have to say that this one seems to be somewhat less pigmented, but the colors are gorgeous.

Yea I just about died when I saw the powder/blusher. Its beautiful and it looks like it gives such a subtle sheen which is what I'm looking for for an everyday look vs more shimmer for a night time look. Its definitely more of a highlighter for my NC40-42 skin though and I'm fine with that since it will last longer.

I haven't seen the new fall quads yet, and now I see the holiday collection and there are so many things I want! I want the perfume/shimmer spray and the pink RA for sure. The meteorites, quad and powder are maybes. They all look so lovely! I haven't pick up any RA yet although I was eyeing quite a few of them when they were launched.

I love the ones that I have (Guet d'Apens, Cherry Blossom, Shalimar) and I'm aiming to get more.
I picked up Gigolo Rouge G this week and I am in LOVE. I find the formula is even nicer than the other Rouge G's I have. It lasted a good eight hours- including through a meal and a few drinks- without needing to be retouched. Utterly amazing.

^^ Good to hear you love Rouge G. Maybe it is darker so it is more lasting? Did you use a liner? Are the Rouge Gs more moisturising than the RAs? I feel the packaging for the Rouge G is excessive, and I don't like how heavy it is - HG it is a weight training device lol. But it's very practical to have a mirror with the lipstick, something which I find useful.

I am very late to the party, but I just gave in to Guerlain's Rouge Automatique in the shade 160 Bal de Mai. It's a perfect every day shade that gives a bit of life to your face, although it doesn't look as bright on me as it does in Temptalia's swatch. I suppose that's because my lips have more pigmentation. Also, the texture of RA is absolutely perfect! This RA is definitely a splurge, and it's one I was more willing to take. I really admire every swatch I see of all the different Rouge G's, but until Sephora has a F&F sale, or I get a gift card, I'll have to stay away from those.
Katred, I read your blog post and they should hire you to model RA, ha. The photo of you in cherry blossom completely sold me. My complexion is very similar to yours and I was worried that Cherry Blossom would be too frosty and over the top, but it looks perfectly natural on you.
As far as the new Guerlain holiday collection goes, I cannot wait until someone posts swatches of Flirt d'un Jour!

I got the Les Gris palette and cannot wait to try it. In the testers it was very pigmented, so I am hopeful. I also tried Girly, but it was horrible on me 
But I was feeling amazing on the lips, I think I will try another shade. So far I only have Bee, but the texture really makes me take on the horrible packing. Hi Sheryl, how are you liking your new palettes?

Just bought the new Lingerie de Peau compact foundation. I would say it's lighter coverage with a satin finish. The lightest shade (02 Beige Clair) is a hair too dark for my NC15/20 skin, but I blend to make it work.
The packaging is beautiful; like a "double-wide" version of the Blush G compact (glossy black).

bis - Let us know how you find Les Gris. I saw the quads today. We didn't have the new Rouge Gs. I swatched the quads and found that they have different pigmentations. Some are more pigmented than the others. Les Gris feels buttery and is pigmented. Les Fumes and Les Bois de Roses seem less pigmented, but I like the colours a lot. Les Violets is very pretty, but I don't wear enough of purple to buy it.
