If you are in or near Canada, check Shoppers Drug Mart.  I got lucky and found Parure Gold foundation in 01 (Beige Pale), which is perfect for my NC15-20 skintone.

I keep hoping that I'll have your luck with that! The lightest any of mine have is always 02... I always check, though. No telling when someone might get something in by accident.

LOL. Ironically the beige pale 01 shades are an Asian exclusive, which I am ranting about despite being in Asia... As if I'm not in Asia! greengrin.gif

I really hooe I get a Beige Pale 01 of LDP, or at the very least, the I hope the upcoming Parure Lumiere would atkeast make the lightest shade to be 01 worldwide.

I got "Peach Boy" yesterday and it is so,so pretty eyelove.gif

 

I really like the idea of getting 3 blushes in 1 compact...you can use each shade on its own or layer both!!!

 

Unfortunatly I am not able to add pics anymore th_dunno.gif

It says "Loading" all the time but nothing happens.....I have never had this before.

Christine's review and swatches of Genna, one of the new Rouge G's. 

 

http://www.temptalia.com/guerlain-genna-rouge-g-lipstick-review-photos-swatches#more-35242

 

They are really stepping it up with their reds! Not sure I need this one (although the BF insists I do), since I have Hourglass' Raven, which looks similar, but damn, that's a beautiful colour!

post #1059 of 1921

Genna is really pretty but I will skip because I do not wear orange based reds too often and do already have several ones.

 

I think that I will concentrate more on the L`Extraits anyway because I love this texture.

And I NEED more of the blushes!!!Pink Punk and Red Hot are on my list for sure.....maybe Chic Pink too.

Red Hot is absolutely stunning and the most unique blush out of the bunch IMO.

post #1064 of 1921
I saw the collection in person today. Genna is a lot less orange than in T's pictures, it's really pretty. I have ordered Gracy already and will get Genna with my Debenhams beauty points when I next go to London (in 3 weeks). I also really like the eyeshadows, will get those then too. Not sure ifI want to fork out £32 for the blushes, maybe I can find some on eBay. Sometimes people sell testers for much less too.
post #1065 of 1921

That is very good to know!

It should be much more suitable for me then.

Got a wonderful surprise today, because the Bay has the collection out! (I find they often get Guerlain stuff before anyone else). It is a really, really impressive collection. Here's a few random thoughts: 

 

- Anitacska is right, Genna looks quite a bit less orange than it seems in Christine's photos (might be a skin tone thing- I'm paler and cooler). It is pretty close to Hourglass Raven, but Raven is redder and more opaque. It reminded me a bit of Chanel Flamboyante, in that it's less a true red than a brightened coral with pink and orange elements. I'm trying to decide if I need this one, or if I have too many similar colours. I tried it on and the colour is really, really flattering and fades to a lovely coral stain. I feel this is the real home run of the lipsticks, because the combination of red, pink and orange will make it adapt well to different skin tones. 

 

- Gilda is a deeper red, but with some brown. Sort of a brick red. Not sure I can pull this one off, but it'll look incredible on olive-toned women. Gisela is extremely close to Gardner, which was part of the holiday collection last year everywhere but the US. I don't think you need both (Gisela is maybe a hair browner), but if you didn't get Gardner and want a really lovely warm, autumnal red, this is perfect. (I have some photos of Gardner here.) I found this Temptalia pic of Gracy, although she hasn't reviewed it yet: http://www.temptalia.com/temptalia-images/img/guerlain-gracy-rouge-g-lipstick It's an intense, warm pink, in the same vein as Mac Impassioned. Very pretty. 

 

- The liquid lipsticks feel incredible. Lightweight is an understatement. I'd say the only knock against them is that the colours don't have the nuances that Rouge G shades tend to. Gourmandise and Orgueil were my favourites. 

 

- The quality on Les Fauves shadow quad is top-notch. The underrated Les Roses (released in the Spring) is also displayed with the collection. Les Fauves is warm-toned but I think it'll look really nice on cool-toned ladies with blue eyes. 

 

- Do not, I repeat DO NOT base your opinion of the blushes on how they swatch on your hand. I tried a few of them and they felt dry and had poor colour payoff. Then the MUA but Peach Boy on my cheeks and it was like a peachy bomb had gone off. It actually created a really adorable "doll face" effect with Genna lipstick, but trust me, there's a LOT of colour payoff. You could certainly use a light hand to build them if you're fair skinned and wanted something more subtle. Swatched, I don't know that any of them would make the best impression, but Red Hot is a gorgeous, warmed-from-within browned red shade, Peach Boy can be built to a very vibrant pink-peach or left more sheer and Pink Punk is... well, let's just say it's still #1 on my list. It's less a true plum than some of the swatches I've seen and more a combination of plum and bright rosy pink. Lurv.

 

I was in a rush today, so I didn't pick up anything, but I'm absolutely doing a big haul from this collection. It's a blessing so much of it is permanent. (All of it, I think?)

Thanks for the heads up and review of the collection!

post #1068 of 1921

Katred....thank you so,so much for your review!!!

If  all  these blushes really perform so much better when applied on the cheeks I should get Chic Pink too.

 

I agree with you on Peach Boy!It is suuuuuper pretty on the cheeks....I love it love.gif

post #1069 of 1921

All of the collection EXCEPT for the Kiss Kiss glosses is permanent. :)

Thank for the review

 

 

I can not wait to put my hands on Les Fauves.

I bought one of the creme de rouge matte lip colours today. It's M41, Envie; an orange coral. I really like it. It's comfortable, goes on smooth, it's buildable and the color is very flattering. I'm not used to paying so much for a lip product! I mean I'm not cheap, but when I saw the receipt, I screamed inside. Still, it's nice but I don't think I'll buy another one. I don't think.
post #1073 of 1921

I got Envie too, it's very pretty. I also got Gourmandise and the bright red one, I can't remember it's name. They are all lovely, but I agree with you, they are very expensive and I'm not sure they are worth it. Temptalia said it lasted on her for 8 hours even with eating, so I had high hopes, but on me, it disappears when I eat. Otherwise it lasts well (maybe 4 hours? although I eat more often than 4 hours so it's hard to say, lol) and it's hydrating, but it's not THAT fantastic imo. I'm still considering the lighter pink shade, yes, I know, I must be mad, lol.

Perhaps Temptalia layered it on a bit more than you did? Maybe that's why it lasted longer or perhaps she ate very...gingerly (lol). The presentation is cool and I know that's what I'm paying for, but it's not all that practical really. When I reapply after eating or whatever, I really don't need a mirror and if I do, I'm usually already in the ladies room. I just wanted to try this new product and one is good enough. I'm just as satisfied with my Nars, Chanel and YSL.
post #1075 of 1921

Yeah, maybe. :)

 

I agree about the mirror, I never use mine, I have a lot of Rouge G's and the mascara too and I hardly ever needed the mirror as I usually apply somewhere with a mirror anyway (plus I carry a compact in my bag all the time). I love the formula of these though and that's why I keep buying the Rouge G lipsticks in particular, they are the nicest lipsticks ever imo.

Don't know if this is news, but the blushes are now on Nordstrom's website!

post #1077 of 1921

The lingere foundation is my HG, that's the only thing I buy from the line.

post #1078 of 1921

I'm so happy, I've managed to buy 3 of the blushes from eBay, they are brand new testers and cost just half the normal price. Obviously they don't come with the fancy compact, but I don't mind that at all. Can't wait for them to arrive. :)

 

I have also reviewed the 3 Rouge G L'Extrait lip colours I've got, the link is in my signature.
 

post #1079 of 1921

I had 2 eyeshadow quads testers (I gave them away) and one Terracota bronzer tester and they come in plasctic packaging which is very good, you can even carry them in your purse.
