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.

I got my Holiday collection goodies in 🙂 

Swatch of the Liquid Lipstick

Swatch of the Rouge G

Drool. I can't wait till this comes to Nordstrom.

Hmm, that lip color is so different than I was expecting!  It's very peachy!  Very pretty, but not what I was thinking - can't wait to see it in person when mine gets here.  🙂

Thanks for sharing! This lipcolor is lovely on you but it will never work with my coloring. Have you tried on the meteorites? How you describe them?

[blackkitty2014]

I want the liquid lippie but it is sold out no?

[buggirl]

you might try calling your SA at the various stores since the stores are actually getting their stock after the online release some of them may have them.  My SA has managed to set aside both the clear gloss and liquid lippie for me despite me only asking a couple days ago.

[CAcay]

I want it now too. It's sold out at Neiman, BG and I can't find it on Sephora....so it must be OOS 😞

[kelloua]

That lipstick color is so pretty.

Oh, this picture of the meteorites is reinforcing the fact that I will probably buy two; if there is a good GWP

[klbandy]

Yay! I'm not the only one thinking about buying a backup. 😏 But it would have to be with a good GWP. 

[buggirl]

my NM SA told me there would be a GWP on the 14th, so he's holding them for me until then 🙂

[buggirl]

Im getting two, i think the warm gold glow will go well with my skin tone

[blackkitty2014]

Wow! Beautiful! Do you have last yr palette? If you do and whenever you're ready, can you swatch them side by side? Thx

[klbandy]

I do have last years palette but I won't be getting this years until Wednesday. I'd be more than happy to when I receive it 🙂

[Samtian]

Oooooooh lovely!!!! I could only order the meteorites. 

[twilightnicky]

I could only afford the Holiday Rouge G & Meteorites, but so happy the pretties are on their way to me 😄

Can someone who uses the Lingerie de Peau foundation confirm that the bottle is indeed opaque?  I use it every day but I can't see any decrease in product.  P.S. - 01 is my love and a PERFECT match to my pale face!

[michelleshops]

It's not opaque.  I'm almost done with mine and you can (finally) see through to how much product is left.  There's barely anything left, maybe 1 more use.  I can take a pic later if you like!

[ViLe]

I'd like to see a picture! I've only been using it for about two months but I feel like I haven't made a dent in mine yet and I can't seem to see how much is left. Trying to decide if I need to buy another one during the 20% off sale.

Out of curiosity, how long does one bottle last you?

[michelleshops]

I'm so sorry you guys!  I forgot to respond to this!  I purchased the bottle during the November sale last year but didn't really start using using it a lot until the end of December.  I switched off between this and the Armani Maestro foundation for about a year.  I don't have pics but I could see the level where the foundation was even though it wasn't clear.  Does that make sense?

Pics as requested! 

[ViLe]

Thanks for following up! I wish there was a way to open up these bottles without shattering it...I feel like there's still at least a couple uses in your bottle!
