Makeup session with Guerlain, new products review

Hello ladies,

Let me tell you what happened. I was walking around in my favorite shop, Sephora, sniffing some new fragrances that i will review later, and there was this awesome make up session organized by Guerlain, they picked me to model their new products so this is the result :

The look created is called "The Sophie glam rock look" and there were used the following products in this order:

-Precious light- rejuvenating illuminator
You apply this on the eye area patting gently with the ring finger. It s a great eye primer, great moisturiser, concealer (covers all the imperfections and fine lines), and also illuminator thanks to the tiny gold particles  which reflect light. Also in his composition has myrrh oil, known for its regenerating properties, and lifting the skin.
-Makeup Tenue de Perfection (13)

 Amazing long lasting makeup with spf. Its creamy texture and discreet scent melts into your pores in literally 3 seconds. It lasts many many hours, has a great coverage, and makes the complexion look flawless. It has an solar protection factor of 20. A big bonus.

-Ecrin 2 couleurs - 2 colors eye makeup (06)
The makup artist was inspired by my glam/rock clothes, and used these two beautifully pigmented eye shadows to make a gloomy but glamorous smokey look.  They last long, and have precious shiny particles incorporated. Definitely to wear in a pub, in a club at evenings, even at a nice restaurant. You can combine the pink and the black creating retro, amazing looks. These colors definitely suit me because i have a LOT of similar products with these 2 tones. I adore smoky looks, don't you? They look so dramatic, Gothic and classy.

-Teracotta bronzer (02)
 It's a nice, compact bronzer that accentuates the natural glow of the bronze. I think me being a bit tanned helped a lot. I do not think that this bronzing powder would go on fair skin, because it would make a high contrast and would seem fake, plastic and cheap.

-Madame rougit -Blush
This however it is a great blush. It has 3 different shades, a beautiful warm tone of peach, a cold bright pink and a neutral pastel pink. The small dots are pearly butter-white which add the extra glow on the cheek bones. If you combine them with a kabuki brush all the colors would give you a great, balanced result. I am inlove with this product.

- Clis D'Enfer Mascara
 I was not very impressed by this mascara. My lashes were just colored, that was it. Not curvy, not elongated, not more voluminous.  Nothing. My personal opinion is that the mascara is not good for me and for its price does not offer that much.

-Gloss D 'Enfer number 468 (candy strip)

Another thing that  I adored was this little pink/coral gloss. Smooth & silky, not very sticky, lasts so long for a gloss. 3 hours if you eat or kiss, 5 hours if you are not. 

I was so lucky to test the new Guerlain products. I got the gloss, the makeup foundation and the blush. I would also get 2 colour eye makeup (on my next wage : - ) 


Sorry about this last shot, the camera broke down exactly when they wanted to capture the result, hence the weird grins that we had on our faces.
