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.
Thoughts on the KissKiss Matte and Liquid Matte lipsticks:
I picked up one of each in Crazy Nude and Seductive Red, respectively.
I apologize that these pictures aren't the greatest especially since the lighting is so different - they were taken on different days. But hopefully it gives you a sense of the shades.
KissKiss Matte in Crazy Nude - I quite like this formula for a matte lipstick, although I'd call it more of a demi-matte. Reminds me of the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipsticks which has a bit of that silicone-slip feel to it.
Liquid Lipstick in Seductive Red - this has a liquid almost mousse-like texture, but it doesn't fully dry down surprisingly. So it isn't transfer-proof. It's comfortable to wear, although lightly tacky. It also isn't very drying. It reminds me a bit of the new Bite Amuse Bouche Liquid lipsticks, although those ones are more of a satin whereas this one is matte.
My personal preference: I prefer the KissKiss Matte.
Wondering if someone has any info about when (if) LPRN Black Perfecto will be released in the US 😞
@Sunnysmom apologies if I misunderstood, the one you bought is it the lavender, pink and white version (Rosy Glow)?
I'm curious about the one in the promo photo I posted because it looks like it might be a warmer toned version than the one that came out in the spring (which I bought, but found too cool toned for me)
I can't tell if the promo photo colours are just off, or if they're actually releasing the stick in a new shade 😄
ETA: OK, I'm not imagining things, there is a second version:
