Mini Guerlain haul & cute iphone protectors

The Guerlain Spring 2010 collection is out! My sweet husband got the Cherry Blossom blush eclat and the jewel lipstick compact in Berry
So pretty to look at! However, the patterns soon dissapeared with the first usage of this blush. how sad.
The blush turned out to be a very light pinkish peach, a much lighter colour than I originally expected. However, I still found it pretty and fresh looking. The colour was so subtle that extra heavy handed application was required The lipstick I bought came in their jewel bullet-like packaging with built in mirror:
I got an orange-pink colour (B20 Berry)

the lipstick went on smoothly and has a slight glossy finish
On a completely unrelated topic, my sis in law informed me about these cute iphone protectors that you can order from http://www.gelaskins.com/. They're protective stickers you stick on the back of iphones and come in a variety of artwork. These pics are from their website, I found them really pretty and dreamy:

I bought these twoThey are slgihtly darker in real life, than on the website. I'm currently using the 'Leave the hair' design, and love it! It makes me excited to use my iphone again.

Free wallpapers can be downloaded at their website, or you can add the Gelaskins wallpaper application to your iphone.

  4. Wow, the lipstick is so pretty on you(And I though Guerlain rouge G all have named started with G, like Gisele, Grazia, Grace, Geisha etc...I guess I was wrong.)
