Guerlain Spring 2016






Whenever Guerlain release a new collection each season I always get a little giddy from the sheer beauty of it, and this years spring collection is no exception. Consisting of a new Meteorites Primer as well as a beautifully compacted powder and blush, it is certainly swoon worthy. The Meteorites Base is described as a mythical skin perfecting base and quite rightly so, it really does do something magical to the skin. Rosy peals are suspended in a gel like serum that when pumped out tuns into a creamy gel that smooths over the skin wonderfully. It enhances the complexion with a delightful glow but still controls any excess oils and gives the skin a lovely plumped look. The corresponding Meteorites Voyage pressed powder in the beautiful compact is probably my favorite item in the collection. The pressed pearls corrects and illuminates the complexion while adding a satin long lasting finish to the skin. Oh and we can not 'not' mention that stunning compact, and it is in fact refillable so I am sure it will be one of those items I hand down to my grandchildren. The Rose Aux Blush is a very fun red pink and paler pink duo in lovely red packaging. Both shades have a little shimmer running through them making them perfect for spring. The little odd ball in the collection has to be the Ecrin 1 Couleur a limited edition buttercup yellow eyeshadow, don't get me wrong it's a pretty shade but I am not sure it would be something most people would go out and buy. If you love collecting makeup and special items then this is a lovely item especially as it comes in beautiful rose gold packaging but I am not sure it's for the everyday makeup wearer. The eyeshadow itself is very soft and buttery with great pigmentation. Lastly they have the Long Lasting Eye Pencils which are both creamy and blend-able as well as indeed long lasting. They don't work so well in the water line but on the upper lash line they create a really easy winged eyeliner look. I have the black and khaki shade which really makes my hazel eyes pop. Like all collections it has its hits and misses but as a whole it's darn beautiful. Love...
