Guerlain discussion

Wow sounds pretty!! Will you be able to post some lip swatches or swatched. Is it similiar to mac viva glam nicki. TIA.

I just got my order of the new Rouge Automatique in Reflex from the Crazy Paris collection. Pictures don't do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous. It's a pinky coral and it's one of the best corals I own. We already know the formula is good, but I was blown away by the color and the packaging is fabulous. If this is limited edition I might have to get another.

its in my cart right now! i might want the hourglass palette too, urrgh decisions...

I think several of us are going to post what we think of that palette tomorrow That's when mine gets in. For me, personally, I plan on getting the crazy ballz too. They serve different purposes, so I can justify it in my head.

I saw it in person yesterday at Sephora and I thought it was nice but not something I needed. I chose to pass. I'm not one to go for subtle highlighters, I like the more obvious types. These are very, very subtle. If you like subtle these will be great for you. Again, they're very nice. Just not my style.

I got my Rouge Automatique in Reflex and Rouge G in Batifole...so so gorgeous!!

I just ordered the Crazy bronzer and pearls from Sephora's f&f sale....sigh, too bad they are coming when I am out of town so I have to wait a week to actually get them.

I agree with you on that one. Although to her credit, at least she didn't overdo them! I only have Nude out of the 4 seasons ones, but I have all the blondes that have been released (Sun Blondes, Blondes Halees and the original blondes) and I think those are the colours that would suit her skintone best.

I'm definitely getting the crazy bronzer as well as the pressed powder and the Meteorites pearls.

I also have original blondes, also had sun blondes but was too red on my, looked awful.I have brunettes too - from the sheer bronzing ones

4 seasons I have Nude and Naturale blondes, but I am also eyeing Natural brunettes since it's completely matte

I like both types, depending. I've been using MAC's For Marilyn powder for the past year, and I use that as a sort of subtle skin finisher all over, and then usually do something more shimmery on the cheekbones. I'm just hoping I can use this to downplay a few of my flaws. And then the meterorites for something more obvious

I think I'm gonna cave & order Rouge G in Reflex!!

 

[purplemaren]

My stuff (bronzer, ballz and shimmer spray) comes Wednesday. I'll let y'all know what I think. I'm still gonna order provocative and the nail polish. And if sephora gets the pressed meteorites and I can get them in the vib sale I will get those as well

too pink

 

[jebogewf]

too pink

Totally agree. I was on the fence for a while, but then decided to pass--and now I'm even more glad I did.

 

[tirurit]

Come to think of it, yeah it might be too pink for the redness on my cheeks and nose. Damn! It looks so pretty!!

 

[Knope2012]

It's too pink for me too. I still want some meterorites, I'll just choose one from the permanent line

 

[Monsy]

I love using them all over and for that it's too pink.

That's definitely going to be a blush on me.

I picked up the compact powder today, I haven't tried it yet though. It looks very pretty. I think it's the only item I will purchase but the Météorites are worth the splurge !

 

[pbpink]

That's definitely going to be a blush on me.

i know it's not ideal for everyone but as a suggestion, you can take out the hot pink ballz and put them in a small plastic container to use as blush and then the meteorites will be more luminous without the way pink tone

 

[lizzz]

I shy away on the Crazy Pearls just bc of the packaging. I love love love the black color, but the jumping letters on the side srsly put me off T_T not classy at all

 

[LiliV]

I'm with everyone on the Meteorites being too pink. Redness has always been an issue for me so I like a buttery white highlight, I really don't like it to have any color, esp pink

 

[Pinkdollface]

I think the meteorites could be very pretty over a blush especially a matte one to give it a sheen.
