If there's one thing I find hard to resist, it's luxurious and gorgeous packaging. It's the craftsmanship and the effort a company has put in to make their products more appealing and makes all the money worth it. Don't you just hate paying for something that isn't really cheap at all yet the packaging is really tacky? Yes, Shu Uemura and NARS, I'm talking to both of you! NARS, your rubber casing attracts a lot of dirt and gets sticky and eeewie overtime. Shu, your blush compacts - the clear ones - are so flimsy and how they break on their own beats me! Guerlain, on the other hand, did not disappoint me at all. :)
The indescribably drop-dead gorgeous blush! I don't know how I would be able to use such lovely creature, erm, blush. I like how luxurious and immaculate it looks. Gold metal casing that will make you feel like you're part of the British monarchy and should be living in Buckingham Palace. Haha!
Guerlain Blush 4 Eclat in 05 Rose Plein Vent
The Kiss Kiss Baby Nourishing Lip Balm has this silver packaging that is less luxurious than the blush but still "royal" and vintage.
Guerlain Kiss Kiss Baby in 262 Cherry Summer (Also smells luxurious but my nose hates such scents. Maybe I'm not born to be royal after all. If being associated with such scent is what it means to be royal, then I'd rather be a peasant. Haha!)
Anyway, I got both on sale at Rustan's. All Guerlain products are on 20% off so drag yourself to Guerlain counters at Rustan's while you still can! I got the blush for only Php1960 from Php2450 and the lippy for only Php1344 from Php1680. Good deal, right? I was al;so told that if I get another lippy, they'll slash 50% off from that particular lippy but I chose not to get another one. I'm trying to be a good girl. :)
Anyway, I should probably house arrest myself so I will just stay home and not buy anything at all.
Happy Monday, super awesome peeps! :P

ReplyDeleteNadine, I hope it is a fresh start for me. Haha! :P
ReplyDeleteAh, I hate you Pammy, mapapabili ako ng Guerlain! :) Didn't know they were on sale! As in all items!
ReplyDeleteThat blush looks heavenly.
The blush looks divine, loving your purchases.
ReplyDeleteMel, haha! Go buy na while they are still on sale. Ako nga tatakbo din bukas sa Shang eh. :P
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I agree. Divine is one way to describe it. I would normally swatch products right away but I can't seem to bring myself to touch it. :P
Packaging is truly eye candy! :)
ReplyDeleteMadz, I couldn't agree more. :P
ReplyDeleteguerlain packaging is definitely luxurious! sometimes I almost don't want to use it hehe
ReplyDeleteanother haul?! hahaha! yes, u need to be a good girl now and stay away from Rustans! XD
ReplyDeleteim also staying away from Rustans because I might go crazy there... im trying to save up for Guerlain's Spring collection! ^_^
If they are on sale..why not right? :) great buy, I would purchase stuffs that I want if they are on sale! So no need for house arrest, next time na lang! hehehe
ReplyDeleteAmy, that's exactly how I feel with the blush. Makes me want to get a back so I can use it while the other is just on display. Haha! :P
ReplyDeleteG, yeah, I really need to stay away from Rustan's. Driving me crazy. Haha! Oh, where the blush that almost costs 5k is included? :P
Nikki, haha! You helped me justify these purchases once again. :P
I can't blame you because I swoon over pretty packaging and salivate even more when the product exceeds my expectations. :)
ReplyDeletetheir stuff does have very nice packaging I agree! I've tried their eyeshadow before and it didnot disapoint me at all!
ReplyDeleteToni, haha! The packaging usually wins me over especially if it looks so classy and pretty. :P
ReplyDeleteJuliepop, okay, now I know which product to ignore when I check out Guerlain again. :P
