Guerlain Spring 2012: The Pinks and the Blacks Collection
Guerlain tells the story of spring by pairing bursts of pink along side the intensity of black. Sophisticated and elegant, this color collection defines femininity while also revealing one’s inner seductress.
Meteorites Cruel Gardenia ($67.00) (Limited Edi8tion)
Packaged within the legendary rosette of the Météorites Perles, a stunning pink flower is found. Named after one of the Exclusive Fragrances from the House of Guerlain, Météorites Cruel Gardenia will light up the skin with a subtly iridescent veil. Create a radiant complexion by applying all over the face or in a specific area such as the cheekbones to structure the face.
Rouge G ($48.00) (Limited Edition)
As an ode to the color pink, four new glamorous shades have been created this spring in its honor. With a dash of ruby powder, hyaluronic acid to smooth and plump, a hint of filling Gugul resin, plumping Tiger Grass, and wild mango butter for perfect hydration, your lips will be left radiant and as soft as a flower petal.
- 72 Rose Innocent
- 73 Rose Ensoleillé
- 74 Rose Piquant
- 75 Rose Barbare
Ecrin 6 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette ($85.00)
- 66 Boulevard du Montparnasse Within one case lays 6 eyeshadow colors. The central luminous pink shade is surrounded by pearl mauve, tea rose, soft violet and soft pink, while a liner traces the eyes in an intense plum. Whether you create a tone-on-tone, couture or smoky eye look, the result is captivating. Moonstone, the key ingredient, adorns the eyes with its silvery reflection and lamellar structure to keep the eyeshadow in place longer for a fresher look. (Permanent)
Ecrin 4 Couleurs Long-Lasting Eyeshadows ($59.00)
- 12 Les Aquas For a sophisticated and stunning gaze, this palette mixes an iridescent blue, a matte navy, a velvety turquoise and a glacier metallic blue (Permanent)

It's a really luxury collection! My favourite is Cruel Gardenia.
and Meteorites Cruel Gardenia is added to my list :I
This collection is gorgeous! And wearable! I just wish it wasn’t so expensive
I want the Meteorites Cruel Gardenia.
OMG the Meteorites cruel Gardenia looks exactly like Laura Merciers luminizer from the holiday collection!!!! iven the color imo!!
The powder looks just like Laura Mercier’s that’s out right now.
Oh so pretty!! I've never owned anything from Guerlain before and I'm SO tempted to buy something from this collection!!
I recommend either rouge G or meteorite. There are no dupes out there for them and They. Are. Gorgeous. I own my Garconne at full price and I adore it!
oh my god... LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *_*
WOW!! What a beautiful collection!!!!! WANT WANT!
Rouge Gs are pretty opaque, right? I've been looking for a pink like the first picture (guessing that's innocente ) for years, but not one id have to layer for it to mute my naturally pigmented lips. Can't wait to see swatches on it. Out of my price range, really, but if it does what I want, id be willing to scrape and save for it!
thank you jesus for a january birthday :) I KNOW WHAT I'M ASKING FOR THIS YEAR.
I skipped out on the flowered highlighter from Lauara Mercier...but I just might have to get my hands on this one! So pretty!
Holy Cow! These are georgeous! I've never been more tempted!
wow, that Gardenia powder looks super similar to Laura Mercier's Rose Rendesvous powder- even the flower impressions looks almost identical- of course, Laura's compact has multiple flowers, but still! If I had to guess by looking, it looks like this one is a bit fairer, but I'll be curious to compare- so odd that they look so similar!
oops. *Rendezvous* Pardon my French- literally!
I will have to have the 4 new Rouge G lippies, they're my fave ever !
Wow, how much re they gonna keep charging for makeup??? Is there any makeup item out there that sells for $100 yet? I mean jeez.....
So pretty! I know for sure I will be picking up the illuminator, and I want the pink eyeshadow palette.
I've never actually tried Guerlain cosmetics, but I really want to! Their packaging is so beautiful and their colors and always really nice.
And where exactly are the blacks?...none of the products seems dark to me and I was hoping to see some edgy vampy colours.
The mascara is black!
so darn expensive!!
so chic!
Everything is amazing! Guerlain has such a touch for detailing, their products leave me breathless every time. Too bad these will be too expesive and out of budget for me - but still, I'll enjoy having a look at the swatches.
The blue palette :O
OMG!!!! that gardenia thing looks amazing!
Why must you temp me Rouge G!!!! Seriously the last three shades are calling to me but the $148.05CAN price tag for all three makes me want to die a little.
That blush is hands down the most beautiful makeup item I have ever seen.
That highlighter is to die for. I'll have to see about the shadows and the lipsticks. Part of me thinks that I have no need for another pink lipstick, but Guerlain has a way of convincing me to buy things I don't think I need...
OMG!!! It´s the most amazing packaging I´ve ever seen for a palette! Absolutely incredible!!
Lovely..but way too soon to be "feeling" this collection! I just bought my Dior Versailles today so, still in a winter mood :-)
Cute packaging. Can't wait to see the swatches :)
I NEED the meteorites powder!
As a French woman I love fragrances from Guerlain with the typical " Guerlinade ", they're really great ! Make-up from Guerlain is less attractive ( I prefer Chanel, Nars or M.A.C generally speaking ), and spring collection 2012 is not so fine. Dior or Lancôme are much more promising in fact.
I miraculously managed to grab 3 items from this collection on eBay, including the Cruel Gardenia highlighter which I love so much! ♥ Can't wait to get the rest of the collection, as usual I want everything!
Ahh!! New Rouge Gs!! Happy dance!
Spring collections and I haven't even started buying Christmas presents yet... TOOO SOOOON!!!
The Meteorites Cruel Gardenia is so beautiful! I think I need it! :D
Love the look of the Meteorites Cruel Gardenia but I think I'll stick with my MAC By Candlelight. One of the lipsticks looks really appealing but I have issues with the prices and the fact that they're not refillable.
The meteorites palette looks like a total ripoff of Laura Mercier's rose rendezvous illuminator...just sayin'. :D But I'll probably pick it up none the less.
Keep in mind that brands usually work 1-2 years in advance on their products :) Hard to say who had it first in an industry with a lot of espionage and long, long production times.
I vaguely remember an article about just that likeness! If I remember right, the research indicated that Guerlain were the first to produce the design, that Laura Mercier were the first to start selling the design, and that the official word from Guerlain is that there's no hard feelings between the companies, nor any cries of infringement.
Gugul resin? Seriously? What on earth is that :D Oh wait, is that what made them call these lipsticks G? :P
Ohhh my lorrrd...I work for herbal/supplement companies, and guggul (pronounced just like "google") is traditionally used for maintaining/achieving healthy cholesterol levels...this is cracking me up :)
OMG.
Indeed.
Oooooo, the 6 couleur eyeshadow palette is CALLING ME! The glosses and lipsticks are gorgeous too. I've never spent that much on palette, but I think this looks so worth it.
Ok I CANNOT wait to see swatches!!!
