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.

@blackkitty2014 I feel like yours has double the amount of pearls as mine but maybe I'm just being petty at this point.

[SportyGirly125]

@makeitup305 I would return it for the amount you spent on it. 

[makeitup305]

@SportyGirly125 I think I just might. I really like them even though they're on the sparkler side but every time I open the tin I get mad haha.

The Electric Pearls have disappeared from the site. Right before the end of the sale too 😞

[MariaLis]

I just tried to buy it...it's not out there anymore, such a bummer😭😭😭

Yea it’s really convenient that quite a few more coveted/expensive brand limited edition items have disappeared. Happened to a couple Pat Magrath items I wanted too.

[makeitup305]

@Maria88 It's such a bummer too. I wish we had the option of purchasing them if they come back during the VIB and BI sales over the next couple of weekends but I think last year we weren't able to, were we?

[Maria88]

@makeitup305 yea they basically tell you to wait until the next promotion. =\

doesnt help when it’s a limited edition item

My first experience with Guerlain was a sample of the Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum, which was one of the most amazing scents I have ever smelled. After the first spritz, I knew this fragrance must be added to my collection!

Saw this on Selfridges online - a Terracotta Electric Light Copper Bronzing Powder. I didn't realize a bronzing powder was in the Electric Light Collection.

Temptalia has reviews up of the Electric Pearls and the Electric Light

Nordstrom also has some holiday items.

As a lover of vintage, I have been looking forward this compact since it was announced. It's now available at Nodstrom - but to my dismay the price is just ridiculous debatable  😉

[Mochapj]

@DaintyDiva I feel like that might be some sort of error.

thats more expensive than it’s even listed for in Canada ($190) and the Canadian prices are usually much higher than US due to exchange rates, etc

[DaintyDiva]

It could be they are "testing the waters". Seeing how far they can go.
