Just purchased GLADYS. I'm kinda torn between Gladys and Rose Grenat. But I love vibrant fuchsia over pinkish reds.
I am torn between the 2, I have 68 Gigi which is a pinkish red which I love...I do like the special packaging of Rose Grenat, and I have a lot of fuschias so I might go for the Rose Grenat if I get any.

I hope to see swatches on your blog!

Rose Grenat is so pretty but it's reminding me a lot of a more pink Madame Batifole which I already have

I have both and clearly Rose Grenat is différent, vibrant too. If I could I would back up but the Rouges G are 38€ here so I won ´ t but it is really gorgeous, T. Recommands it I fully agree. If you can well splurge :) worth it

Here's T's review of the two new/ limited shades:

And BTiB's:

It looks redder than Madame Batifole to my eyes, more similar to Provocation. Then again, those two were reasonably similar to begin with.

Definitely give it another go. Maybe stick with Fonce. I think it's easier to go lighter and fix it from there if you have to. Take lots of pictures to make sure, too. I had to take some to confirm that it wasn't doing funky things to my complexion. Well, in my searching for the perfect terracotta bronzer shade I've discovered it contains bismuth oxychloride. That means it's a no-go for me. Glad to find out now than later when my face feels like it's melting off.
While I'm still testing it (today is my second day giving it a go) I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised and very glad your post inspired me to give it another go. Once on and blended in, it doesn't appear too orange or red; I can still see my golden tones peaking through, just with a bit of added warmth. I like it thus far :)

I wore the Joli Teint in Fonce a few times now. At first, I didn't know what to think of it. I thought I might return it. There isn't much coverage, but the most concerning thing is I thought it might be a little orange on me. I photographed myself in different lighting and it seemed fine. Today I wore it and for the first time I had a full face of makeup. Now I can say I like it. It does add a glow and a bit of a bronze, but not to the point where it changes the color of my face. This will be light and nice to have for the Summer. I didn't even powder my face and it wore just fine. Now I need one of those Terracotta bronzers I've been looking at forever. Just can't decide which shade.
Sharing the same coloring as you, Charisma & Shontay, I ordered the Joli Teint in Fonce along w/one of the
Terracotta bronzers & the bronzer brush w/the hope that Fonce will work for me. I'm glad you were specific
about your experiences because it really supported my choice.

I hope you love it. I'm still enjoying it. I'm laughing at myself still because I thought it turned me orange. I think that's the paranoia I get when trying a new foundation. Especially when it's a brand I don't frequently buy from. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. And I am still SO upset that I can't buy a terracotta bronzer!

I saw that you're allergic to one of the ingredients in the terracotta bronzers---that has to be so frustrating in one sense, yet liberating in that you know what to avoid.
My goodies are scheduled to arrive on Thursday. I'm so excited to try it, & definitely let you know how it goes.

  [COLOR=0000FF] I have yet to try the beauty blender---I know many people swear by it.  I'm hoping my Chanel brush # 7 does the trick.  It seems as soon as I find a product that works, it's discontinued.[/COLOR]  [COLOR=0000FF] I saw that you're allergic to one of the ingredients in the terracotta bronzers---that has to be so frustrating in one sense, yet liberating in that you know what to avoid.  [/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   My goodies are scheduled to arrive on Thursday---so excited.[/COLOR]
I've never bought a beauty blender b/c I can't wrap my head around paying that much for a sponge. Plus, I prefer brushes, but instead I bought about 4 "beauty blenders" from Real Techniques for the same price and I love it! I actually haven't used a brush for my liquid foundations since I got my hands on these sponges a few months back. Eventually, I will try a BB, though. They come in some cute colors. :lol: Yeah. It's really annoying because there are some products I'm really interested in buying, but I read the ingredients on the box and have to put it right back. I think it's a deadly ingredient b/c it's always listed last (just kidding. kinda). It's a mixed blessing because on the plus side, I get to save some $$$. At least the brands I love most: MUFE, Chanel and Nars don't use that ingredient. I wish Mac would ditch it, too. It's actually a really harsh and unnecessary ingredient so I'm still confused as to why it's used so much in some brands.

Medgal and Shontay, It took me a year to buy a beauty blender. I've been using foundation brushes and duo fiber to apply bob creams and foundation. I took the dip in January and bought it. And it is unbelievable! It's very porous, soft and Blends foundation very well. Like second skin. Never feels cakey. Btw, Sephora got VIP Rouge 15% off RougeTicket is the code maybe u can use that. ;) ;)
