Guerlain Autumn 2013 Rouge Gs – Madame Reve, Madame Flirte, Madam Batifole

I recently posted that I was really looking forward to the new autumn collection from Guerlain, and last week, I was lucky enough to be able to pick up the Rouge G’s from the Violette de Madame collection a little bit early.  There’s very little that makes me happier than a brand new Rouge G …  There are three new shades, Madame Reve, a soft, […]

Lippie’s Lust List #Twelvety Guerlain Violette de Madam

Oh man.  I need me this collection something chronic.  I was sent the nail varnish in Madam Batifole (below) this week, and now I have a shopping list as long as my arm.  A collection entirely in purple, fuchsia and red?  Oh, I am IN.  In love, that is. GIMME!!  It’s on counters August 1st, but don’t bother yourselves, as I’ll have bought it all. […]

Guerlain Eau De Lingerie

Confession time: I recently spent some time having tea with Guerlain’s utterly charming, handsome (and funny with it) Thierry Wasser, and, to my complete chagrin, after an extremely pleasant, and polite, question and answer session, I – for it was, of course, I – managed to drag the conversation down so far into the gutter that Thierry ended up miming how to get into a […]

Guerlain SS13 Maxi Lash Mascara

A new mascara is always something to rejoice in, and a new mascara from Guerlain is always something to get excited about – how does this one measure up?  Well, it’s about a third of the size of their usual mascaras, which is refreshing!  And lovely to see more of the deco-style packaging that we’ve all come to know and love from the Rouge Automatic […]

Guerlain SS13 Meteorites Perles Du Paradis

  No Guerlain collection is really complete without a new set of Meteorite perles. These slightly sparkling, and highly scented (of violets), beads of colour are highly flattering in use, and I find myself reaching for my pots of them quite regularly.  They’re particularly effective for the … er … more mature lady, as they don’t leave you with too matte a finish to your […]

Guerlain SS13 Rouge Automatique 600 Ballade Shine Automatiqe 761 Flirt

Alongside the two eyeshadow palettes I showed you yesterday, Guerlain are also introducing a few new shades of both Rouge and Shine Automatique, I have two to show you: Rouge Automatique in 600 Ballade, and Shine Automatique in 761 Flirt.  I adore the deco-style packaging, which can – if you so desire, be operated with one hand:   What we have here is a peachy […]

Guerlain SS13 Ecrin 4 Couleurs: 501 Attrape Coeur 502 Coup de Foudre

My love for Guerlain makeup is pretty well-documented by now.  Well, hopefully it is, anyway.  I caught the briefest glimpse possible of their Spring/Summer collection recently and was delighted, featuring as it does decidedly un-pastel purples and greens.  I have an unbearable loathing for pastel-shades, finding any colours that have too white a base tend to sit “on” my skin rather than blend with it.  […]

Shopping My Stash …

My makeup collection is insane.  It always has been, admittedly, but one of the side-effects of being a beauty blogger is that you’re constantly being seduced by the call of the new, and old-favourites can sometimes get sidelined.  Sometimes, however, I like to take a little wander around products that have been favourites in the past (called “shopping your stash”, by beauty bloggers) and rediscover […]

Review Guerlain Rouge G L’Extrait in Luxure

I’m gonna gush.  You’ve been warned.  Guerlain, for me, are totally knocking it out of the park this year, the collaboration with Pucci earlier in the summer was beyond beautiful, and don’t think I’m not kicking myself for not picking it up, because I am.  Okay, I am drowning in Meteorites, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t have used more … This August, Guerlain are […]

Guerlain Noir G Rechargeable Mascara

I really shouldn’t be allowed to walk past the Guerlain counter when there’s a bit of cash in my pocket, as I really can’t resist most of the things on counter.  I’d heard a few rumblings about the Noir G mascara on Twitter, so the first time I got to a counter, this somehow miraculously jumped into my handbag (I paid for it first, don’t […]

Paris Purchases: Guerlain Hiver en Russie

No trip to Paris is complete without a trip to Guerlain.  And, no trip to Guerlain is complete without a purchase, come to that. This time I wanted to make my souvenir very special, something I can’t find in the UK, and the ladies of the Champs Elysée did me proud on this trip: The gift wrapping in store is exquisite, it was heartbreaking to […]

Guerlain Christmas 2011 – Vol de Nuit & Parure de Nuit

Well, after I showed you my initial picks of the Guerlain Christmas collection a few weeks ago, I said I’d be making further purchases, and here they are. Couldn’t resist! Vol de Nuit, I simply could not resist picking up this beautiful teal bottle of sparkly deliciousness, it’s both a gorgeous and glamorous addition to any dressing table.  I don’t have a dressing table … […]
