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.

Oh my yes @Ispend2much6 yummy 😋!

Thank you for your insight, @Ispend2much6 🤗 It's nice to know I'm not the only one searching... hoping it'll eventually show up! I typed "cherry blossom" in the search bar of the app

[Ispend2much6]

@Guessgal   Oh, wait- you're in Canada, aren't you?  We have not had it at all in the US yet.

[Guessgal]

@Ispend2much6 Yes, I'm in Canada. Thanks for the update! I always thought the US got releases before Canada so I'm a bit surprised 🤔

[Ispend2much6]

@Guessgal   Canada gets Guerlain at least six months before we do, it seems. 🙂

FYI- I had purchased, and sent back, one of the new Rouge G's- shade 59 Pink Rosewood.  In every online image, it looks like a beautiful, pink mauve.

In real life, it's very a peachy shade.

It was mentioned that the old Birthday Candle perles look similar to this season’s Cherry Blossom perles Cherry on the left, Birthday on the right. Cherry with all of the lavender perles is much more cool toned

@Mochapj   Thank you!

You know, after comparing the images, I think the upcoming Meteorite Happy Glow pearls are the same as the 2017 anniversary ones.  Did anyone else notice this?  I don't want to be wrong and miss out. lol

@Ispend2much6 You know, I was thinking that they looked quite familiar too! I have 2 sets of meteorites, the original version in medium and the birthday meteorites. I use them interchangeably and love them both!

I do think the original have a very subtle/slightly more glowy appearance when applied, but I think that would be imperceptible to anyone other than me!

[Ispend2much6]

@fiercestpoodle   As long as we know we glow, it's good. 🙂

I wonder if the upcoming Meteorites Happy Glow have large silvery balls instead of white.   The images I've seen aren't that clear.  Guess I'll find out!

[Mochapj]

@Ispend2much6 These came out in Canada last month and I picked them up. No silvery balls but the overall cast of the Happy Glow perles is very white

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks so much @Mochapj . This is a must for me as I love the compact version so much! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Mochapj   Wow, that may be the most intense Meteorites coverage I've seen yet!  Thank you so much for being so thoughtful and sharing!

[Sunnysmom]

Yup. We need this @Ispend2much6 ! Ugg. 🥰

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  @blackkitty2014  Saks also has four out of the five new Rouge G's- nude shades- 11- Nude Beige; 12- Bright Brown; 59- Pink Rosewood; 66- Deep Rosewood.  They are missing 81.

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom   @blackkitty2014   Saks has the embossed lipsticks up- shade 61 (matte pink) and 62 (satin antique pink.)

[Sunnysmom]

Ooh good thanks @Ispend2much6 that’s awesome! They are quick and you can use with the current promo then too! Nice! 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @Ispend2much6 . Weird that SAKS has the lipsticks but not the case 😂

[Ispend2much6]

Has anyone seen the Cherry Blossom spring collection anywhere? @blackkitty2014   You are usually in the know about Guerlain- have you seen it yet? Thank you!
