That is so cute! I wonder if there are more because the background shows more colors.


If anyone has the Rouge G l'Extrait lip colors on there wishlists, then it's time to buy them now. According to Emma from Escentual's review of the holiday collection, she mentioned that they were recently discontinued. :( My SA at Saks confirmed me they that they got the shaft around late Summer and early Fall.

I used to have a sample of Gourmandise and Avarice (it's the same size as the gloss d'enfer sample you can get as a gift) back when they were released and both of them were top notch. The formula used to be a bit clingy if you didn't exfoliate your lips, but other than that they were long lasting and great. My favorite was Gourmandise because Avarice was a bit too brown for me.



Smile? Enjoy? Was this inspired by Eat, Pray, Love?

My list is the powder, one of the lipsticks, and the smile blush.

I guess that's why Sephora never restocked them---I waited forever for Avarice and ended up getting it at Saks----it pulls pink on me---very mauve-ish which is what I was hoping for. In addition to Avarice I have your fav, Gourmandise, as well as, Luxure and Orguiel. I think Luxure is my fav.

That makes sense as to why they've been out of stock on Sephora's website for so long.

I wonder if they're going to replace them with the maxi velvets like the one they brought out for this year's holiday collection?

Yes---I just saw your comment. I would agree. I kept stalking & waiting for what I wanted to reappear.

I'm trying to remember if it was [@]mkoparanova[/@] or [@]Monsy[/@] who mentioned a youthful shift in Guerlain Beauty's marketing... around the time when we were talking about the silicone covers for the bronzers...

That was probably actually me. I got that info straight from 2 different counter managers.

I was shocked during Specktra's downtime at something I never thought would happen. Especially not this quickly.

Um, I hit pan on a 4 Seasons bronzer. Significant pan, too.

I bought in late February!!!

Didn't quite know where to put this, I don't usually hang around the Guerlain threads but it looks like they're trying something else to reach younger crowds. They're releasing a cosmetics expansion on the La Petite Robe Noire fragrance line. The packaging is just like the perfume bottles. Personally I think the nail polishes look adorable and I'll be happy to pick up a couple. The lipsticks are probably a skip for me.

I would get the pink & the red. I'm not so into the younger look. I prefer classic. I'm very very inerested in those lipsticks.
Thanks!!!

Same here. I'm not really feeling the look of those new products... Not a fan of classic brands suddenly trying to appeal to younger customers.

I'm OK with the expansion of the La Petite Robe Noire cosmetic line to appeal to a younger crowd - just wish they would leave the "classic" line alone.

Damn, talk about a 180 turn, lol! :hehe:

This is probably the collection that will coincide with the new upcoming La Petite Robe Noire perfume next year. I love the La Petite Robe Noire line of perfumes (except forthe eau de toilette version) so I can’t wait to hear more about this upcoming line of makeup from Guerlain. The lipsticks look like the Dior Addict lipsticks, andI hope they perform well. I like that the nail polishes look like mini versions of the heart-shaped stopper bottles that La Petite Robe Noire recycled from Mitsouko and L’Heure Bleue.

There used to be a section of the Guerlain makeup that honored L’Heure Bleue, but I only remember the eyeshadow duo/liners. I think it was before the ombre eclat line of eye shadows.
