Yes, I have many testers and they are all in plastic cases.  I also have lipsticks which come with plastic caps, I often carry those around with me withut any problems.

I got Peach Boy, Over Rose and Pink Punk blushes. I also got Colere, Envie and Gourmandise Rouge G L'Extrait (those are not testers).

Anitacska...what are your thoughts on Over Rose?

Do you think that it is a must-have?

So far I have Peach Boy and Chic Pink and will get Red Hot and Pink Punk soon.

I only just received them this morning and today I'm wearing Peach Boy which I love, but to be honest Over Rose doesn't look like a must have shade at all. Unless you don't own any pink blushes. However, I need to wear it to be certain, it might transform on me. I'll review them soon (in 2-3 days hopefully) on my blog.

Thank you Anitacska!

My thoughts exactly when I saw the swatches.

It looks just too "normal" and I am sure that I have several similar blushes in my stash.

I think that this is the least unique one of the bunch and I will skip it then.

I picked up Les Fauves eyeshadow and Chic Pink blush today, at Shoppers Drug Mart, and I'm loving both of them.  My only complaint about Les Fauves is I wish it had a lighter/highlight shade.

The Rouge G lipsticks weren't in yet.

Hee hee. I went to Shoppers and picked up Les Fauves and Pink Punk. Gotta love that 20x the Optimum points deal. 

I didn't pick up any of the Rouge G's... yet. I'm desperately trying to convince myself that Genna is too similar to Hourglass Raven to warrant owning both, but I'm really tempted. Gracy is gorgeous too... I've decided to hold off on getting one of the liquid lipsticks for now...

I agree about having a highlight shade in the quad. Enjoy your new eyeshadow and blush!

That's the only way, for me at least, to avoid the gloss looking crazy/clownish over time. If I apply a light layer it looks like a stain and is much more flattering. However, it's still drier than hell. I'm only going to wear it when I'm out for a couple of hours. This is not an all day gloss.

Thanks for your review. My lips are very dry so I have to pass this.

Wearing my purchases today. Pink Punk is wonderful- the deeper, contouring shade is a dream for me and the top shade gives an awesome pop of colour. Now, of course, I keep thinking about how amazing these would look with one of the Rouge G's from the collection.

It's a slippery slope!

I hope that I will receive Pink Punk and Red Hot tomorrow.I am so in love with Peach Boy and Chic Pink and can not wait to

try these 2 as well.

I saw temptalias review on this one yesterday and now I really think that I need Gracy

I was hoping that I can skip the new Rouge G`s (better for my wallet...) but the more swatches I see the more I think that

I can NOT skip them.

I have Gracy, it's gorgeous. Much nicer then Gourmandise Rouge G L'Extrait. Get it! ;)

I don't agree. I have three of them and haven't found them being drying at all. I have worn them all day (with touch ups as they're not as long lasting s they claim to be) for several days on end and had no problems with them at all. Having said that, they are not that special. I think the Rouge G's are still the best formula Guerlian has ever done. I've only bought Gracy so far, but will pick Genna up next week and I can't wait! :)

Really???

Ok....I am definitely sold on it now!

.....just got Pink Punk and Red Hot!!!

They look both stunning  in the pan....can not wait to play with them.
 

I've managed to buy Chic Pink on eBay for half price as well, just waiting for it to arrive. :)

Make sure you check the source; there are other pictures. :)

STUNNING!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

The Meteorites and the dark lipstick are on my list for sure...and I think that I do also want to have the Liu Shimmer

Powder.

The gold lipstick might be too close to Ruffian Gold which I do already have.But I need to see swatches to make a final

decision.

I love the black design

^ Very nice, thanks for sharing! I'll most definitely get the Liu shimmer powder, Voyage Powder, Meteorites and a lipstick or two. Maybe that eyeshadow quad too. :)
 

Wow, thanks MarieMary for the link!

Congratulations! I've now had the time to try out both Les Fauves and Pink Punk and am really impressed. The little brush included with the blushes is actually kind of useful for a quick contour. Here's a pic: 

I'm tempted to get Red Hot, although it's theoretically kind of dark for my skin. I think it'll look amazing with dark autumn lips...

That quad is calling to me, along with the meteorites and the dark red RA Shine... 

Those both look gorgeous on you Kate. I want them both as well!

katred....you look beautiful!!!

Which lipstick did you use?

And definitely give Red Hot a try...I am very pale too and tried this one first because I had the same concerns as you.

But I find it not too dark.Of course I need a light hand to apply it but it is sooooo pretty!

Really the perfect color for fall and for me the most unique out of the 4.

Here is a review on the Golden High Blush Duo:

http://cafemakeup.com/2012/08/15/guerlain-rose-aux-joues-blush-duo-in-golden-high/

Fortunatly this one does not appeal to me at all....good for my wallet!

I ony tried twp eye khols and I love them. The only downside for me is that I can't wear them with contacts
 

@all: You're welcome! :)

@katred: I agree with MACina, this lipstick looks great on you.

katred - Gorgeous! The lip colour is very pretty! Bright and girly but not overdone.

I saw the new blushes, quad and the Rouge G glosses. I was least excited to see the blushes but they turned out to be impressive. I have also been trying the Rouge G mascara sample I received and I like it. My lashes are stick straight and it actually manages to curl my lashes and hold the curls for half a day (so far I've only worn it for that long). I don't even use a lash curler, I put on the mascara and use my finger to gently press and lift my lashes upwards, and they curl. The scent doesn't bother me, the only thing I don't like is that it can be a bit clumpy so don't go with it if you want a natural look.
