For the love of all things Guerlain

[buggirl]

There is a line that has buried itself in my heart (and my pocketbook), and it is Guerlain.  I know Im not the only one out there.  I thought I would start this thread for the discussion of all things Guerlain, skin care, makeup, perfume, places to get good gwp or good samples.  Experiences people have had, looks people have created with the products.  

For me it all started with a makeover by Guerlain's own Marie Line at my local Neiman Marcus.  She spent an hour with me and I left feeling calm and happy.  

As a mother of 4 year old twins and as a doctor I spend my live rushing through the day, often without enough sleep, more often without enough water, taking care of everyone else.  It shows on my face, in the fatigue in my eyes, in the puffiness and dark circles under them.  While I have been blessed with good skin it can be confused, aging (I bought my guerlain the day prior to my 40th birthday), but still with an oily t zone, and with patchy dry spots on my cheeks likely from the dry air in my medical work environment.  One of the things she said to me was- make it about a ritual for you, and dont leave it until your going to fall asleep.  I walked out with the orchidee imperiele gel cream, eye and lip cream and white/brightenining serum.  It was a birthday gift to myself.  And now every night I sit down for 15 minutes and wash my face and slowly carry through the ritual.  a ritual of energy expended and renewed.  Breathing in the soft smell of the orchids.  Im still using a cleanser and exfoliator from another line given how much I spent, but I have seen substantial change in my face in the 3 weeks since.  

so thats my story, and I would love to share a discussion with other lovers of Guerlain, especially as we eagerly anticipate the 2015 holiday collection.

Yeah it sucks. I thought Sephora was the best bet to snag it, so I'll probably end up missing out 😞

SDM price is 89 or 90 as per the guerlain info book they got with the product details.

Oh cool thanks for the info..im guessing thebay will be same too then..now lets see who has better promos at the time of release..any info on release dates for sdm in the book?

[lachaton]

Guerlain Boutique said Nov 1 (yesterday when I talked to them). I find they often have new items first, but who knows. I'm kind of expecting it to be a week early or so.

But that's the most recent I had heard.

Edit: I stand corrected. Was just able to place my order at the Boutique 🙂 

[Anewxa]

Ohh if you don't mind sharing which one? And will they ship it or they will hold it for you?

[lachaton]

There's just the one Boutique in Canada- in Toronto on Bloor St. They're shipping it to me.

[Anewxa]

Oh yah silly me I don't know why I thought there were 2... I'll try to wait for sdm first...lets see.....

[Anewxa]

Thanks! Are there Any benefits buying from the boutique like deluxe samples or gwp..sorry im new to purchasing guerlain so im not sure how their counters are or which are better to go to..Atleast with sdm i can get points and thebay online gets promos.

[lachaton]

They very occasionally have GWP and it's usually as part of an event. but Guerlain generally doesn't give out large GWP in Canada (and rarely do). 

It depends on the SA you get, but I often receive a lot of samples - especially from a couple SAs who know me better. They have a rewards program too (as do Guerlain counters at The Bay, I believe). Just depends on where you prefer to shop! If you get Guerlain at your SDM, that may be the best option 🙂 My local stores don't carry it so it usually isn't that easy for me to find at SDM.

[buggirl]

I did buy some online but a couple of items Im getting from my SA at Neiman Marcus, and he's holding them for me till next week when there is a gift with purchase, now- i don't know how big it will be or what it is. 

[dioradict]

[Anewxa]

[dioradict]

Are u able to add to cart lachaton? Thanks!

[lachaton]

Nope, OOS.

[Libellules]

Got my meteorites last night and I can't open the darn thing! It's twist off right??

[Zpsid91]

Yes, but it was a little difficult to open I thought

[Libellules]

Super difficult! Will have to try again later. Or engage a Strongman!

[butterblume]

I lemminged right off the cliff and got the meteorites at Nordstrom. I've never bought any before! But they're so beautiful. My wallet is dead.

[shimmerbait]

haha "lemminged" made me giggle out loud.
