The Spring 2009 Collection from Guerlain is now being known for one thing and one thing alone, the green lip gloss. It appears pale green in the tube and has everyone wondering how this is the be worn and how it will look when it is applied. Green is my favorite color and I love it in cars and purses but I am not sure how I will enjoy wearing it on my lips. So let’s look at the green lip gloss and THE REST OF THE COLLECTION!!
The collection is called Exquisite Paradise and this is the description from Guerlain, “To celebrate the triumph of spring, Olivier Échaudemaison has created a rich collection drawn from an eccentric, eclectic garden of Eden, a colorful kaleidoscope of nature’s prettiest, most sensual colors and organic delights. With his exotic palette, he concocts color that stirs optimism, awakens purity and arouses a desire for paradise that hibernates within every woman.” for me, seeing anything new coming out for spring rises my optimism level and I always want to jet away to a tropical paradise so this collection should really appeal to me!

It smoothes and revives the eyes at once, creating the ideal base for impeccable eye makeup.

Wearable? Some of it. Beautiful? All of it! I have heard from other blogs that the green lip gloss goes on shimmery and clear instead of the green hue that it appears in the tube. I would buy it just for the name, it translates in Apple of Desire (the apple that Eve offered to Adam that brought about their downfall. I would buy that color just to have it and gaze at it instead of really using it. The eye shadow quartet also falls into the gaze at category, it is so amazing that I don’t think that I could bear to use it and ruin the design on the shadows.
Back to reality! I really would like to try the eye shadow primer, this is the first one that I have seen so far that is housed in a compact and I am very curious to see how the texture and formula differs from those that are housed in tubes. The Baby Shine shade in the Kiss Kiss Maxi Shine would be perfect for my skin tone and will be coming home with me next time I visit Sephora. I would love the to get the Pomme de Desir gloss and the eye shadow quartet but I already have enough makeup that I don’t really use already. Between this collection and Chanel, I just want to buy the products to stare at how beautiful they are!
