Guerlain Spring 2015- Les Tendres

I can't quote right now for some reason...

The 2 lower lipsticks are the Kiss Kiss duo that are brand new.

There are 2 Rouge Automatiques being shown with the collection, just like the darker nail polish is being repromoted as well. Those are the two upper shades.

Did you get either of the brand new Kiss Kiss lippies Starletta?

Both.

And I'm swatching everything right now, so I'll post shortly.

Since I finished hauling, I'm starting to swatch (and I'll post a family pic later).

First up, Ecrin 4 Couleurs #18 Les Nuees. Swatches don't do it justice, partly because my lighting stinks. The light blue is really a pearly iridescent with flashes of purple that makes a breathtaking lid color for a true ice princess look (I've done it twice this week). I use the quad with a damp brush- I think you'll be surprised with the difference. All 4 shades are distinct to the eye in person, but photography is lacking on my behalf.

The standard... I'm as pale and pink as they come, for reference. All swatching was done with a MAC 242.



This is by far more accurate, but I wanted to post non-flash since someone inevitably would ask.




I know T hated this quad, but I'd submit that it works on me precisely because, as my local counter manager quipped "I'm the fairest of them all." You can see a little bit of the special quality I've been raving about in the wet flash swatches. I use the first two shades for a look that I truly love.

yes guerlain foundation range color wise sucks

We ended up using the Precious Light concealer #00 and blending, set with Les Violettes. Not ideal. Now I know not to let Guerlain touch my base makeup at the counter.

OK, here are the Kiss Kiss swatches. I ended up purchasing both, despite the known lack of pigmentation of Rosy Silk. Peach Satin initially didn't look too orange, but put it beside Rosy Silk and it's very orange. Odd.







I've been living in #368 Baby Kiss (which they really could've repromoted with the collection, it matches so well). With those 3 (and my new Rouge G), I've got spring looks for Guerlain done.

And I'm going to quit monopolizing the thread, but here are my final selections from Guerlain Spring 2015. First, without flash, and then with flash.





The final tally:
Meteorites Compact 02 Clair
Meteorites Compact 03 Medium
Meteorites Compact 04 Dore (I'll use this a bronzed/blush for cheeks only)
Ecrin 4 Couleurs #18 Les Nuees
Meteorites Perles de Blush- Angelic Radiance
Kiss Kiss #560 Rosy Silk
Kiss Kiss #540 Peach Satin
Maxi Lash in Marine
La Lacque Couleur #368 Baby Rose

I really should re-name this collection "shut up and take my wallet." Every season, there's a collection that catches my eye. This season it happened to be Guerlain.

Peach Satin is very pretty. I just ordered it last night.

Sooooooooooooo bummed! My half hour away Dillards just got a Guerlain dept. - they had all of the new Spring collection but NO tester of the baby glow

Ugghh! I so wanted to see it in person.

I'll repeat what I mentioned yesterday... I'm Bobbi Brown Alabaster/NARS Mont Blanc/Chanel BR12/Burberry 02/202 and the Clair Baby Glow was at least 1.5 shades too dark for me.

I felt like is was leaning a bit too dark/orange for my taste. Thanks! It will be a no go for me then. I am a Chanel 10 so....

Absolutely. It was like I got smacked with a cheese puff where we swatched it on my cheek. It made me sad since I was ready to give it a shot.

Since I had them all swatched on me yesterday, I can confirm for you that the only Guerlain face product (aside from Meteorites/Violettes translucent powders) that might work for you is the Precious Light concealer #00. We used that essentially as a faux-foundation at the counter.

Lucky! That makes sense, since the lightest foundation was way too dark for me. Now we have a decent idea of where they're aiming the shade.

Ok THAT looks like the Peach Satin Meddy and I swatched, don't you think @Medgal07 ? It's my favorite of the two. I got Rosy Silk and there's quite a bit of glitter in it which I can feel on my lips. I need to lip swatch it and will do it on the next reasonably sunny day. I got a sample of a Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer and applied it over top of Rosy Silk (it was pretty sheer - #109 I think?) and I thought it looked gorgeous and it felt more hydrating to me that way. But my lips are minimally pigmented and even I found Rosy Silk sheer and had to build it up.

Ooh, you got all the pressed Meteorites! I wanted to pick up 3 and 4 so badly, but I'm way over my budget for this month.Since they're permanent, I figure I'll wait. I love that Dore looks like a blush on me.
