Guerlain’s Spring/Summer 2013 Wishlist Inducing Product Introductions

June 8, 2013 By Christa 3 Comments

Guerlain is a brand that always catches my attention. It’s a combination of gorgeous packaging, breathtaking promotional photos of the gorgeous Natalia, and stunning shade offering that get me every time. I often find myself so overwrought with need that I can’t decide what I want from their collections as I want it ALL. The Spring and Summer 2013 introductions have brought not only beautiful new shades but also numerous completely new products and formulas to the Guerlain lineup. It’s hard to keep up! Guerlain always outdoes itself with their Terracotta seasonal collections which are one of the best brand offerings for bronzing options for a wide range of skintones. The Terra Ora Summer collection brings even more bronzing options in the intricately designed Terra Ora powder in ornate wooden magnetic closure packaging and a companion limited edition bronzing brush. One of the new product introductions is the loose eyeshadow formulation released as part of this collection. There’s also a new Lingerie de Peau BB Cream and Meteorites Perles primer. Add to that the luxurious looking new Gloss d’Enfer Maxi Shine lip glosses, and a completely new addition of nail lacquers to the Guerlain range and how is any beauty lover to know where to start? I haven’t even barely scratched the surface of the new products that have been hitting Guerlain counters. I couldn’t help but throw together a little collage of pretty Guerlain eye candy.

Lingerie de Peau Beauty Booster SPF 30 PA++ ($54 CAD) Invisible skin-fusion multi-perfecting makeup.
Perles Meteorites Les Ors Light Diffusing Primer ($78 CAD) with yellow gold, white gold, and pink gold pearls to perfect the complexion.
Shine Automatique Lipstick ($30 CAD) in Bianca Ora and Corail Ora.
Vernis Nail Lacquer ($25 CAD) 10 shades available.

What has been calling your name from Guerlain lately? Like I said this is just a small sampling of what has been released. What products from the Spring and Summer 2013 Guerlain collections have you trie?. Anything I should be adding to my wishlist? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Annabelle Bronzing 2013 Collection ~ Multi-Blush Palette in Fresh Pink ~ Photos, Swatches, Review

May 29, 2013 By Christa 2 Comments

Annabelle is releasing a small, yet fabulous, Bronzing 2013 Collection this June. There are two beautifully designed palettes. The Multi-Bronze Palette in Natural Bronze ($11.95 CAD) and the Multi-Blush Palette in Fresh Pink ($11.95). I have the incredibly pretty blush palette to show you today.

Annabelle Multi-Blush Palette in Fresh Pink

The presentation of this palette is really incredible. I can’t believe this is a $12 blush! I mean look at that detail! Each shade strip is rounded up giving a wavy texture to the face of the blush. There is a butterfly embossed into the powder. Each shade has a different finish. The peachy pale pink at the bottom is matte. The next shade, a rose pink, is infused with delicate fine shimmer. The stripe of neutral bronzer is a satin finish. The deeper brighter pink, as well as the coral, have a tiny amount of shimmer. Blended together they create a lovely fresh pink with a subtle glow.

The three wider stripes of colour are big enough that you could use them alone. I love the effect of the whole palette swirled together. The powder is a little bit on the hard side but picks up and lays down colour beautifully with a fluffy blush brush. A must have for any pink lover!

The multi-palettes, as well as the Big Show Lip Shine Multi-Colour Lip Wand ($10.95 CAD) will be available in pharmacies and mass retail stores for a limited time beginning in June 2013.
