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 - The yellow balls in Clair were replaced by the gold balls in the holiday edition.  😉

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @Titian06 . Did you get one? Mine will come end of this week (maybe 😂🤣)

[Titian06]

@blackkitty2014 - My Meteorites came today!  They look and swatch  just like @Mochapj 's pic above.  The only thing her swatch doesn't capture is the shimmer.  I'm looking forward to trying these.  However, I haven't worn makeup since March when I started teleworking!  😯

[blackkitty2014]

Yay! Mine just came in too @Titian06 🥰

[Titian06]

@blackkitty2014 - Yes, I did.  Mine should be here late this week/early next week.  Then there's the two days it sits at my front door because the carrier never knocks or rings the bell!  🙄

Swatch of the Golden Bee Meteorites

FYI it’s basically just Clair perles with some extra gold shimmer balls thrown in

Thanks for the swatch, @Mochapj !  💖💖💖

[blackkitty2014]

@Titian06 @Sunnysmom It’s available again at Guerlain direct now. I just buy it. 

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @blackkitty2014 ! I ordered the powder last week so I think I’ll behave and resist these! So glad you got em though! 😘

Part of this collection is up at Nordstrom.ca right now,I ordered the meteorites this morning.

[Titian06]

@Seymore3 - Nothing is on Nordstrom's US site.😪

[blackkitty2014]

@Seymore3 @Titian06 Guerlain hates US 🤣😂 I am hoping it would show up on Feelunique or any US retailer soon

@blackkitty2014  @Titian06  I was disappointed with how hard it is to get LE Guerlain collections in the US. But for some strange reason I checked Guerlain direct US last night and they had part of the holiday collection. I ordered LE Meteorites and Lipstick. You should check it out 

[blackkitty2014]

@Zvezdochka @shimmerbait Thx you. This is big new.  This is the first time i saw they have US website.  In the past they dont ship to the state.  Yay! However, looks liked i'm too slow.  I saw the meteorites but cant add to cart.  I however was able to buy the duo highlight compact that i missed out couple year back. Edit: attach picture in case somebody is looking for it

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014, I love that highlighter! Glad you were able to pick it up!

[blackkitty2014]

@TraceyEB I’m excited. I hope they ship it 🥰

[Titian06]

@blackkitty2014 - I wasn't able to add the Meteorites to my basket last night either.  Now it's showing out of stock.  At least you were able to get the compact from a couple of years ago.  💖💖💖

[blackkitty2014]

@Titian06 I think it will show up somewhere else soon. I will tag you if I see it somewhere 😘

[shimmerbait]

@Zvezdochka Oh wow thanks! I didn’t even know guerlain had a US website. I ordered the meteorites, can’t wait to receive!

[Zvezdochka]

@shimmerbait @blackkitty2014 @Titian06  I just got mine and I have to say I was having such an unpleasant start of the day thanks to Saks (I will post about that horrendous experience later on a more appropriate thread) but opening that box lifted my mood so much. I love the thought and care Chanel, Dior, Swarovski put in every detail of their packaging with highest quality boxes, bags, cards, beautiful calligraphy, etc. But Guerlain takes the cake. Thank you Guerlain for providing  such a beautiful experience and to the person who actually put all together. You made my day. Thank you 🧚🏼‍♀️
