Review | Guerlain Terracotta Make-Up Palette


I spotted this palette in BA's in-flight shopping catalogue on my way to NYC in March, but only picked it up when I came across it at Heathrow Duty Free a few months later where I could get a closer look at it.  

Guerlain bronzers are renouned for their fabulousness.  It's essentially a matte powder but there are some tiny shimmer particles which add glow rather than shine and make it appropriate to contour with.  The powder is finely milled and the darker strip at the bottom is a nice addition.  The packaging is stunning but they could have invested in a slightly better brush rather than the plastic scratchy offering that comes with this palette.  I really rate this bronzer - and that's coming from someone who's pale and freckly - a skin tone which struggles getting a natural sun-kissed glow.

Underneath the bronzer pan is a selection of four fantastic neutral eyeshadows.  The pigmentation, blendability and durability are excellent and the large mirror in the lid make this compact indispensable if you're travelling light.  

I paid about £34 for this palette - you can pick it up at airport duty free or on some flights, particularly BA.  It's well worth it.

Insolence


This scent ain't for the faint hearted, so all you gals who love your Marc Jacobs Daisy-clean fumes might struggle with this one, but I adore it.  There's something about ginger skin which gives it a Teflon quality when it comes to perfume lasting power but this little Guerlain sucker hangs around me in a heady mist until home time.

I'm pretty rubbish at describing scents and the Guerlain website if far too Flash-happy for me to direct you there (you might not come back here!), so I'll reproduce their description here for you:
