Guerlain Fall 2010 Collection - 68 Champs - Elysees

This collection from Guerlain is 100% pure French beauty, I love it! The collection is named 68 Champs - Elysees and after hearing the name, I just visions of fantastic French women in my head. The Nordstrom website states, "68 Champs - Elysees, a collection that pays tribute to the French glamour and joie de vivre that is the root of the Guerlain spirit. The new Fall Color Collection, boasting rich eye shadows and new lip colors for the must-have look of the season". I love it!

Here is the new collection...

Eye Shadow Palette - A trend-setter one day and a sleek sophisticate the next, a woman's style changes with her mood. Transform your look with one palette, six colors - the possibilities are endless. This new Guerlain eye shadow palette caters to your every whim, offering a range of iridescent, matte, and satin shadows. Each palette bears the name of a Guerlain boutigue in Paris. Choose your address!
- 2 Place Vendome - white satin/gray-taupe satin/golden taupe shimmer/almost-black charcoal/sapphire satin
- 29 Rue de Sevres - shimmery barely-white pink/warm gray satin/deep brown taupe/blue-gray satin/shimmery sky blue
- 68 Champs Elysees - shimmery white/matte gray taupe/cool dark brown satin/blue-gray satin/shimmery royal purple
- 10 Rue de Francs Bourgeois - matte yellow beige/warm sand/red-brown/dark warm brown/shimmery orange gold
- 93 Rue de Passy - matte dusty pink/dusty violet/dusty gray purple/dusty mauve/shimmery pale pink

Kiss Kiss Gloss Serum - Guerlain's new Kiss Kiss Gloss Serum brillantly combines the art of lip care with the magic of colors. This extreme-shine formula, combined with anti-aging active ingredients, helps lips look and stay more beautiful by smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Instantly and day after day, lips are beautiful, smoothed, plumped, and rejuventated.
- Myrrhe - sheer peach pink
- Cuir - brown-orange red
- Grenat - mauve rose
- Ambre - peach pink that is more on the pink side
- Baie de Rose - bright pink
- Violine - plum
- Tonka - warm peach rose
- Vermillion - sour cherry

Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick - Guerlain called on one of the most talented jewelers from the Palace Vendome in Paris, Lorenz Baumer, to create an object of mystery and seduction: Rouge G de Guerlain. At first click, the case reveals a stunning mirror, a promise of your own personal luxury, and then an exceptional lipstick nestled within the case. Rouge G de Guerlain surpasses mere beauty with a breathtaking formula. A precious ruby powder interacts with daylight to reveal spectacular radiance unachieved to date. At the first contact, lips are immediately defined, smoothed, plumped, and hydrated.
- 13 Giny - medium warm mauve
- 14 Gillian - warm mauve pink
- 68 Gigi - medium fushcia
- 69 Gwen - deep wine

Blush 4 Eclats - Blush 4 Eclats is the ultimate in sculpting blushers. Its cleverly beveled brush is designed to achieve the perfect color effect. By brushing over the palette from left to right, the brush picks up the lighter shades and applies them to the top of the cheekbones. The darker shades naturally cover the lower cheeks to add depth and structure to the contours of the face.
- 07 Caresse de l'Aube - peachy pink

'Kiss Kiss' Gloss - Lips get drenched in sheer, pearly, or sparkly color with the new Kiss Kiss gloss! Its revolutionary nonsticky formula keeps lips moisturized while water-resistant and magnifying esters ensure long-lasting effects with a boost of volume. Its flat, smooth brush provides accurate application. Available in three different formulas: Petal Effect gives sheer coverage, Pearl Effect gets a boost of pearly essence, and Gloss Effect provides a subtle sparkling finish.
- 847 Peche Charnel - peach
- 848 Brown Sugar - pink brown
- 823 Poppy Star - bright cherry red

Those eye shadow palettes! I am simply in love with them and they are my favorite product of this collection (as they always tend to be). 2 Place Vendome is my favorite of the line but I still would love to own them all. 93 Rue de Passy is my second favorite of the group. I am going to pass up on the blush until I can get to Saks and have the makeup artists show me how to use the colorings in the pan. Lip wise, I want shades from all three formulas. From the new Gloss Serum, I love Grenat, Ambre, and Violine. From the Rouge G de Guerlain, I want Gillian and Gwen. The last item that I want to get is the Brown Sugar shade from 'Kiss Kiss' Gloss.

I am simply in love with this collection, this is one the best that I have seen this fall. I am feeling so Parisian right now...
