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.

Holiday Meteorites; a lot darker than I expected. There are quite a few of the bronze pearls in there

@makeitup305 Oh my!!! ❤️

[itsfi]

Oh wow @makeitup305! That is beautiful! 🐝

[makeitup305]

@itsfi I mean, if they’re gonna charge that much for an advent it better be fantastic looking, right? The contents are a lot of deluxe fragrances, some skincare, and some candles I think.

So true @makeitup305, so true!! It was really early in the morning when I first caught sight of your post and I mistakenly read the price as £99 because I didn't catch the 5 in front of it and I thought, "oh, 99 pounds? What's that? $130, $140"; then I went to the US site and ummm... the $700 came through really clear! 😲🤣 At that price, every one of those 25 treats had better make me look, smell and feel fantastic! lol. It is gorgeous though. 😍

@itsfi @makeitup305 - LOL...If I hadn't read @itsfi 's post, I wouldn't have realized I misread the "5" as a "£" too.  I guess I need to get that prescription for new eye glasses lenses filled!  😄

[itsfi]

Hahaha @Titian06! You go get your Rx filled; I’m going to make an appointment with the eye doctor stat! 😂 @makeitup305 @blackkitty2014 

[blackkitty2014]

@Titian06 I made the same mistake but I was liked “Their website has a bug. No way this is only $90” 😂🤣

[makeitup305]

@blackkitty2014 @itsfi @Titian06  that’s hilarious! If only!

[blackkitty2014]
