New Blush G Serie Noire From Guerlain Spring 2011

Hi everyone. Here is a quick post on the new Guerlain Blush G. Guerlain is probably my favourite makeup brand of all time, and I've had my eye on this blush eversince I first saw promotional pics of it last year.

The price is terribly expensive at around ~£40 (the most expensive blush I have by far), but since this was my 'must-have' Spring 2011 product, I could not resist getting it. (Yes, I realise I have no self-control, but I'm trying really hard!)

Guerlain Blush G Serie Noir

This gorgeous blush is housed in a very sleek black case, which itself is wrapped in a luxurious looking black pouch with cerise lining.



The blush also includes a gorgeous hot pink and black brush in a seperate compartment below the actual blush itself.


The brush is not as soft as I would like. I much prefer the super soft brush that comes with Suqqu blushes.


Now onto the blush itself. This is where some might feel they get their money's worth. The blush contains 4 seperate shades.



All the shades contain tiny particles of gold shimmer. The first strip is a coral-orange shade, followed by a dark pink/ fushia colour. The third shade is a peachy-beige, followed by a pale pink.

The four colours allows you to pick and choose which shades to use to flatter your skintone.



I like just blending all 4 shades together, as I found this the easiest to do. All the colours together gave bright peachy-rose colour with gold simmer. The shade reminds me of Nars Orgasm, but with a more pink/rose colour. I really love Nars Orgasm, but sometimes wished it also came in a shade that was more on the pink side, so this blush for me is perfect.

Now I present to you the world's worst swatch. I'm so sorry for the bad quality. I feel that I should redirect you to temptalia, where her swatches are so far superior that it's truly embarassing!


Below is a blend of all the 4 shades on my cheek:
