ohh I want the lipsticks so bad! But this is too expensive for me haha! Maybe for my birthday or something haha!
I know, they are pretty pricey 🙁
Have you tried Guerlain cosmetics? Do you like the quality/feedback? I know it’s uber expensive so I need a firsthand opinion before I shell out for it 🙂
I recently bought the Midnight Butterly quad and I am very happy with the pigmentation, quality, and texture of the shadows. They are easily blendable and feel silky to the touch. I’m definitely going to check out this collection because I’m so happy with my first purchase!
Ohh! I was tempted by it, but I wasn’t sure the colors would be so nice once the design wore off.
I’ve liked the Guerlain products I’ve tried thus far! The Meterorites (powder or the balls) are fab highlighters. The lipglosses are sooo luxe!
I strongly recommend you the Guerlain products!The eyeshadows are the only one that stay on my eyelids. I really trust their products and also, their skincare is the best! It is worth the money 🙂
Arghh, I don’t need any more convincing, LOL!
I LOVE Guerlain! Their lipsticks – the shine ones – have a consistency to die for! They’re so silky smooth. All of their products are over the top outstanding. The lipgloss is not sticky and so heavenly!! And the skin care….oh my so expensive, but well worth every drop. I’ve never been able to tell a big difference in the different creams I tried on my skin (Dior, Chanel, Philosophy, etc.) until I tried the Guerlain stuff – absolutely unbelievable difference!
It’s soooo expensive, but for some odd reason I feel the need to have that green lipgloss.
You & me both!
i got myself the green lipgloss and the ombre eclat 4 shades yesterday, ad i am in love!this was my first purchase from guerlain and i am veeeeeery happy 😀 the lipglos has a nice smell to it, and i gotta gotta say that it is similar to mac’s springbean only a whole lot better!the eyeshadows are so so pretty!they are sooo silky and the colours are so so pretty! 😀 xXx
I’m so happy that you’re enjoying your first Guerlain purchase! 🙂
I want them all! especially the lipsticks
Me too, me too!
I’ve seen the green lipgloss in a magazine already. It looks pretty cool, I have to say.
Lucky you 😉
I hope to see it in person soon…
Oh it’s so pretty! 🙂 I’ll definitely buy the e/s quad and probably some of the glosses/lipsticks. Might be tempted to get one or two of the single e/s too, will see. 😉
Make sure you let us know how you like everything, Anitacska! 😀
omg the shadows are to die forr!!!! but so expensive 🙁
True, true. Anything Guerlain means $$!
I always like the designs on the quads but I didn’t love the color enough in this collection to spend the money. I did like all the colors for the lip glosses, but only purchased the green one since it wasn’t similar to anything else that I had.
How is the green one, Jenn? What does it look like on?
It gives a nice shimmer. The green is fairly sheer although a bit more pigment that the green gloss from the Max Factor Lipcolor in Chartreuse blend. I haven’t gotten a chance to really play with it though. I think I will like more when I layer it over other colors.
Thanks, Jenn! Good to know 🙂
Just bought the green 806 as well – the shimmer is very nice indeed. I think it also makes my teeth look a bit whiter, though that might be wishful thinking 🙂
Ohhh, now I really want this!
OMG! Love Natalia Vodianova! That promo pic is stunning. Do you remember the Chanel Summer collection last year? The model was her too and the palette looks similar.
I’m blanking on the summer launch, but now I gotta go back and look!
I finally got to order the eyeshadow quad and the cerise tentation and orange gloss. Have not yet recieved them but i can’t wait to see how it all looks in person. BTW…has anyone seen the new Chanel Moscow nails? I know it’s off subject but just thought i’d ask 🙂
Please, please let us know what you think when you do!!
I haven’t seen them, but the pictures look lovely.
I finally recieved the e/s palette and the glosses. They really are amazing. The e/s’s are sooo silky and smooth and the glosses are really great too!
YAY! I love the glosses too!! Did you get all the glosses?
I can honestly say I have never owned or purchased a Guerlain piece but this collection looks gorgeous!! Wow!
Guerlain is so luxe, which is why I think I like it so. It just FEELS spoiled to own it!
I am so disapointed with Guerlain. I got their 2008 summer collection. I spent about $150 for 3 pieces. The eye shadows were pretty (I got the Bronze Dore 481 ) however the peretty gold design (in this collection it’s a green design) fades within one application and I was left with matte colors. The bronzer had a horible color pay off and so did one eyeshadow (blonde bronze). Their double sided Mascara is actually really good but it’s a little too waterproof. I find that my own eyelashes comeout when I try to wash the mascara off.
Have you tried an oil-based makeup remover for the mascara, Luda?
