Guerlain Spring 2013 Collection - Cils d'Enfer

The spring collections are beginning to come to an end and I am already well into my spring makeup and perfume shopping.  I only have a handful of spring collections to look at yet and I expect to be finished right before the end of the month and then getting ready to move onto the summer collections right after that.  Today we are going to look at the spring collection from Guerlain, a line that I often drool over but don't have the best access to.  I will say that the Sephora in the closest mall has begun to expand their Guerlain line and now I can actually try more of the products before I buy them so I am looking very closely at this spring collection since I can now really use some of these products.  The last thing that I need to fall in love with another makeup line but I have heard that so many of these products are top quality and I think that this would be a good line for me to fall in love with...

Any Guerlain collection is highly anticipated by all the beauty bloggers and the whole beauty industry and I know that this one is no exception.  Whether or not new products are introduced or only new shades in current products, this company has such an avid and loyal fan base that the new collection will sell out instantly and raves will be earned for each item.  I personally tend to be most excited about their lip and fragrance products but I am certain that every product that they offer is top quality. 

The Nordstrom website has the entire collection featured and all information will be pulled from here.  "Experience an array of fresh pinks and staggering curl with Guerlain's Spring 2013 Collection starring the versatile Cils d'Enfer Maxi Lash Mascara and legendary Météorites Perles du Perles in a limited edition size."  A new mascara formula is always a reason to celebrate!

Here is the spring collection from Guerlain!

The magic of Meteorites Perles du Paradis is enhanced by a beautiful pink powder puff to provide flawless application.

So what do I love the most from this collection?  I want the Kiss Kiss Gloss in the pale pink shade (Cherry Pink), I have been buying a lot of lip glosses and lipsticks this spring and I want to add this one to my collection.  All I have bought so far has been pink so I certainly don't need this product but I really like the shade and want to try this formula from Guerlain and see how it fits in with my current gloss collection. 

The other item that I really want from this collection is the Ecrin 4 Couleurs Eye Shadow Palette in the purple hues.  I have already ordered a new lilac colored eye shadow from Sephora but I love all four of these shades and I will be using them all spring, this palette is already sold out on the Nordstrom website so I will be tracking it down in another way but I really must have this palette.  These are the only color two items that I really want from this collection.  I am want to try the mascara and I am sure that this will be available at Sephora so I will pick it up the next time that I visit the store.  I am certainly open to trying many other items from the collection but I want to try some of the testers first to make my decision.  I am one of the few people who has never worked with the Meteorites Perles and I know that they sell them at my Sephora store so I will be able to try them out.  I will try them and report back next time that I go to Sephora!
