Guerlain Spring 2016

First review of Enjoy eyeshadow.

And for those who immediately roll their eyes, I have had nothing but problems with the one solo eyeshadow I own from Guerlain, and I use a plethora of primers.

I agree with Temptalia on this. Their single eye shadows have been a huge miss for me. For $34 they should be excellent, not half-assed. Their eye shadow formula and quality took a turn south last year starting with the Spring palettes. The Fall Les Cendres palette was good but it's a remix of Les Fumes which the latter is way better. I guess I'm too spoiled with MUFE, Urban Decay, and Nars eye shadows.

I only preordered the blush and may stick to that for now. I'm still pressed about them reformulating the Mythic Voyage powder and discontinuing more than half of the Shine Automatiques.

(Also X-Posted in General Discussion since it isn't explicitly a Spring product)

Is this a new product? It appears to be a Rouge G version of Dior Lip Glow??

Sounds like the packaging is prettier than the blush

It kind of is! I mean the blush is pretty but nothing unique and the texture on the pale side could have been better

Ack!!! Why don't they test it first for pigmentation! I can still cancel mine.

Spotted the full setup at a local counter today. Grabbed a pic; will upload later. Also swatched the powder products (will post later if they turned out).

I couldn't believe the difference in texture with the blush duo!

I just want the new powder. Debating between dropping the 179.00 for the compact or 59.00 for the refill. Or I could get a backup of the white powder, pop out the product and put in the new powder. I would think it would fit into the compact housing.

I don't know what powder to get! HELP!!!

Old Meteorites Voyage? New Meteorites Voyage? The cheaper meteorites powder? Holiday $$ powder? Or Les Violettes?

Hello I do not get the Old Meteorites voyages?? if you are referring to the Meteorites compact vs Meteorite voyages, the difference is the packaging. The Meteorites voyages the compact is heavier and now my understanding is they can be refill. Most of the Meteorites have some shimmers and have a dewy finish on the skin, the Holiday powder do not have that shimmer and just blur the skin. I do prefer the meteorites vs the Holiday powder (i know i might be the only one ) as for the violettes it is a setting powder, no shimmers, it is matte.
So if you want a great shimmery finishing powder to be cute on your vanity go for the Meteorite balls, if you want a great shimmery finishing powder to put in your handbag go with the compact, if you think you will finish the powder and will purchase the refill go with the meteorites voyage, if you are lucky and a collector go with the Holiday $$ powder. as for the violettes i will pass I do think there is a better matte powder for a better price
Hope this help

That at is a huge help! Thank you!

There is some talk that the new meteorites voyage powder from this spring collection may replace the mythic one that was/is currently permanent. So that's what I mean old vs. new.

I do not own the old one but here T's review she say it is nearly the same (see the link below) I have a lot of meteorites (balls and voyage compacts) and unless they have a lot of colours or shimmers (like the Meteorites Perles étoiles from the collection Holiday 2014 with red balls or the Meteorites perles imperiales from the Holiday collection 2009 who have a lot more shimmery balls then the regular one) the finish is nearly the same from one to another. the only thing I will look for is how hard the powder is. I have the Meteorites Gold temptation from the Holiday 2007 that have a similar finish of the new mythic and the powder is ''harder'' then my other meteorites voyages. so I think it is more what do you prefer.

I just ordered 3 KissKiss. I got the Kisskiss Shapine Creme in Rouge Kiss today & its such a gorgeous slight orange red & is stunning & so smooth on the lips. I LOVE how it looks. I also ordered the Kisskiss in the white casing - balms in Pink Me Up & Crazy Bouquet. I can't wait to get them.
