Guerlain Fall 2009 Collection - Volga Princess

Guerlain has finally posted their new collection for the fall on their website. Never mind that I feel like I saw it at Saks well over a month ago and I have no clue why they finally just posted it up on their site. Seriously, I have been checking for it for several weeks now. The whole collection consists of only four products that create the usual fall look that we have seen in every collection so far. The collection is called Volga Princess and is based on Russia before the Revolution.

Here is the new collection...

Eyes and Lips Palette - An opulent palette, as fiery as a sunset over the Volga River. An exquisite makeup palette for the eyes and lips held in a black velvet suedine pouch. Perfect for a complete make-up look in hues of soft taupe and delicate pink.

Ombre Eclat Four Shades - Limited Edition Fall 2009. All the flamboyant of an autumnal palace. A richly decorated palette with shimmering shades. The shades in this palette were inspired by the sumptuous dresses of Eastern princesses. Faded orange, brick red, old rose, and aubergine are dappled with a champagne motif, contained in an exquistely designed black-and-gold compact. The tsarina's eyes take on a velvet-smooth, crimson glow highlighting their pure clarity.

Russian Doll Radiant Blush - A liquid blush for rosy, velvey cheeks: like a breeze caressing the steppes. Guerlain creates Russian Doll, a liquid blush with a unuqie shade of luminous, sheer pink that generates natural radiance. Thanks to its kaolin-based formula, this cream-gel emulsion is easy to apply and dries within seconds.

KissKiss Baby Delicate Nudes - Nourishing lip balm - Delicate Nudes SPF 10. KissKiss Baby, the new edition to the KissKiss family, combines makeup with skincare. Just like a balm, it nourishes the lips and enhances their beauty. Enriched with wild mango butter and luffa oil, it keeps skin moisturized, soft, and supple. But that's not all. KissKiss Baby also offers an SPF 10 to protect lips against sun damage. It's rich creamy texture allows for easy and comfortable application. Six sheer, natural shades give a smooth, satin-like finish.
- Cristal Nude 200 - clear
- Red Nude 220 - sheer red
- Honey Nude 240 - sheer nude
- Rosewood Nude 241 - sheer brown rose
- Romantic Nude 260 - sheer pink
- Rosy Nude 261 - sheer rose

This is yet another collection where I really love every single product in it. However, I think the one product that gets me the most excited in the liquid blush. I have been told that I look really good with a brighter pink on my cheeks and that I can pull the "snow bunny" look off very well especially right after I darken my brown hair. Also the new Ombre Eclat really does not disappoint. I feel that in almost every collection, this is always one of Guerlain's strongest product offerings and this collection continues that tradition.
