Guerlain discussion

Lol on the weight of the mascara. I wonder if we can buy the mascara and is it useable without buying the casing. The handle is probably tricky to hold without the casing.

Yes, from the pictures it looks like the handle is too short to properly hold it. Maybe I'll sniff it in store at some point and wait for more reviews. I always look for a new mascara even though I have a very good one with Hypnose.

btw, Temptalia has swatches of the highlighter and the light pink RA: http://www.temptalia.com/tag/guerlain-spring-2012-collection The highlighter looks nice, a nice subtle pink. The RA looks way too light for me though.

Les Aquas palette seems very similar to the holiday quad. I dont get why they released 2 very similar quads so close to each other. I guess if you have the Holiday one you are all set for Spring.

I love the swatches of the pink quad.

^^ I totally agree!

Cruel Gardenia, the quint and at least one of the Rouge Gs are on my list. Keeping company with the Lancôme Spring 2012 blush and the Armani blush........

^^ Why haven't I seen pics of the Lancome and Armani Spring blushes yet?! Are they must-haves, too?

 

[Miss QQ]

bis - I'll sniff the mascara too. I don't like scented eye products but the whole packaging with mirror and refill and the stunning promo pic has intrigued me. Michelle - You can google the two blushes. I just did that for the Armani. I saw the Lancome blush some time ago, gorgeous! I wonder how pigmented it is though. Temptalia has the review of the 6-colour palette. Pretty, but I'll pass.

Hi Michelle! I posted a link in the Lancome Love thread - and I think there is one in the Armani thread for the new Pink Tourmaline blush - of which I'll have a backup .

 

[Bonitinha]

^^Thanks MissQQ and Cheryl -- I will look those up! I can't keep everything straight LOL


Edit -- Oh my word -- that Lancome blush! And the bubblegum pink l/s looks gorg, too! I hope the blush has a good amount of pigment to it.
That Armani blush looks amazing, too. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly need another blush . . .

Temptalia has reviews of Roae Innocent and the highlighter. The highlighter looks stunning in the pan.

Now that I see the swatches, I think I like the pink quad the best. It's a maybe for me. I'm almost certain to want at least one of the Rouge G's, although I think the lightest one looks dupe-able. The one thing I'm sure of is the highlighter, which just seems to get prettier each time I look at it. It's like the soft pink equivalent of the Terra Inca powder, which is probably my most frequently used purchase from 2011 (other than mascara).

:lol: I am a sucker for packaging too

Oh, I am not going to look, I am in trouble with the Chanel blush already...

 

[Bonitinha]

Bis -- lol, I know what you mean about not even looking. They are always putting out too many gorgeous goodies to tempt us!! Overload

 

[Miss QQ]

katred - Yeah the spring highlighter is prettier each time I see it too! I want that and a Rouge G too, and possibly the mascara. I haven't been wearing Terra Inca much. The lid is a pain to lift and put back in the mornings without ruining the powder. Time to pull it out and put it on my table, otherwise I won't use it.

Michelle - I have never had a Lancome blush before. Maybe it will be my first next year. Are you getting any meteorites?

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ MissQQ -- I think I will get the regular rose meteorites. I love the packaging and look of the holiday version, but the sparkle may be just a bit much for me. I am dying to try them out. But I keep getting distracted and order other things LOL
I haven't had a Lancome blush, either -- that rose pattern is so pretty!

 

[Monsy]

i do not recommend lancome LE blushes/powders. they all have overspray and when it's gone they look blah... i never buy them. so not worth the money

from guerlain spring i want that highlighter! so pretty

Yes, it's one of the few products that lives on top of my vanity. I figure it looks like something that should be on display anyway.

Oh yes, ignorance is sometimes bliss Did you look yet?

 

[User38]

oh nooooooooooo the Lancome blush now.

and the Cruel Gardenia.. owwwwwwwwwwww

this is a horrific addiction.

but hey, it's legal and fun.. lol

 

[Shypo]

It's so much fun to collect all the pretties.......it's hard to resist them!! I love my Rouge G blush (still can't believe I managed to get it before it sold out!) and the Terra Inca powder......Cruel Gardenia is a definite for me (for my b-day in Feb) and the Lancome blush will be mine too....I'll find a way to make it work!!

I was asked to pick out something for myself, so I just ordered the Clarins holiday face palette.......I love Clarins products, but only have a few.......

And I have to say (wrong thread) that the NARS Spring 2012 has really caught my eye......I'm not a NARS fanatic (have a few items that I really like, but I wouldn't consider myself a devotee....)....but the trio, the blush and the lips are pulling me in.........

[Miss QQ]

^^ My birthdya is in Feb too! I've never tried Clarins makeup before. I swatched the lipstick at the counter and like the colour payoff and it seems moist too, but I don't like the fruity scent. I don't have a lot of Nars but I love what I have. I like a few of the holiday collection but haven't buy anything yet. Let us know what Nars goodies you bought from spring in the nars thread!

I recently bought my first Rouge G in Gracia. I really love the formula, so comfortable on and long lasting. I'd like to buy another lighter one but I think I will wait for the spring collection. Can't wait for swatches!

Rose Innocent looks so sheer on Temptalia, so I'm hoping they're not all that way. From these pics I may go for Rose piquant:
