Covet: Guerlain Autumn 2014 Collection (updated with list of shades and photos)

Guerlain cosmetics have been one of my biggest temptations this year. I love my two Guerlain foundations, Lingerie de Peau and Terracotta Joli Teint, as well as my very-special-treat-of-a-lipstick, Rouge G in Georgia… but I’ve managed to avoid the Guerlain counter since those purchases. However, now that I’ve been a few photos of Guerlain’s Fall 2014 collection (here on Chicprofile), I have a feeling that I’ll be planning a visit to Saks in September.

First, Guerlain is reissuing its KissKiss lipstick line with a new formulation and new shades. I love the shiny black cases.

UPDATE, 7/27: Here is a list of shades, from Guerlain’s Japan website:

325 Rouge Kiss
320 Red Insolence
321 Red Passion
322 Red on fire
324 Red Love
327 Red Strass
360 Very Pink
364 Pinky Groove
365 Romance
366 Fall in Rose
367 Kiss Blossom
367 Baby Rose
369 Rosy Boop
300 Golden Girl
301 Candy Beige
302 Romantic Kiss
303 Beige Booster
304 Air Kiss
305 Forever Brown
340 Miss Kiss
342 Peach Fizz
342 Francy Kiss
343 Sugar Kiss
343 Sexy Coral

And see here for **photos** of all the KissKiss shades on a Dutch beauty blog. A few of the roses are calling to me…

Second, three new eyeshadow “quads” (Ecrins 4 Couleurs) will be released as limited editions. This quartet of nude shades, called Les Sables, looks simply perfect.

I’ve read that the collection’s Japan launch is scheduled for August 1st. No news yet about the US release. Stay tuned…

Product Review: Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick in Georgia (62)

guerlain rouge g

Just a week or two ago, I mentioned my increasing fascination with Guerlain cosmetics. I know, I know. I’m weak. But I decided to give myself a little birthday present, because it’s been a rough month or two, and there’s nothing like a new lipstick, right? So… how about a Rouge G de Guerlain Exceptional Complete Lip Colour? Shockingly overpriced, senselessly wasteful. And absolutely perfect (in all ways but one).

Product Review: Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint in Light/Clair

Although I make regular stops at Guerlain counters to sniff some of my favorite fragrances (Après L’Ondée, Nahéma, Chamade…), I’ve consciously ignored the Guerlain cosmetics line for ages. It’s expensive, and it has shiny gold-tone packaging (not my style). I did cave once, for a fancy lipstick (named for Après L’Ondée!), and then I managed to steer away from the collection for another year or two, until I tried Lingerie de Peau and it became my favorite foundation.

Guerlain recently launched Terracotta Joli Teint Beautifying Foundation, “a single formula that combines the perfection of foundation, the beautiful effect of a skincare product, and the sun-kissed radiance of Terracotta.” This product is meant to complement Guerlain’s classic Terracotta line of bronzing face powders and other “sun-kissed” cosmetics.
