Hello my dearest readers 
Last week I went overseas and hauled in DFS Changi. If you are following me on instagram (@memoiselle), you’ll know that I bought few items including this Guerlain blush duo. The picture below is taken from my instagram account.
Now onto the review of this blush.
I bought this blush at $56. I believe this is sold at $70 at department stores in Singapore. I saw few colors at the counter but I am a pink blush lover so I immediately grabbed this one.
The packaging is made of metal casing which is heavy. I love heavy packaging and this casing looks very elegant and expensive. There’s a Guerlain logo embossed at the bottom of the casing. The casing is very prone to finger prints and therefore it was really difficult for me to get a nice picture of the casing.
This blush comes with two shades of blush that can be worn separately or blended together. The top shade is a very pigmented pink with slight shimmer. The shimmer is minimal so this is very shimmer friendly to those who don’t like shimmer blush. The bottom shade is a pale matte pink. I believe this matte pink is meant to complement the very bright pink shade on the top. However I think this shade can also be used alone when I want a very natural pale looking pink on my cheek.
This blush is VERY pigmented. So I need to be careful when swiping my brush to this blush pan. The two colors were blended together as seen in the last swatch picture. I purposely swatch a heavy amount of blush (3 swipes) so that you can see the color. But in real life, 1 swipe is enough to get a pigmented look.
Sadly, the texture is not something that I would expect from a Guerlain blush. The texture is hard and not as buttery as I want it to be. There’s a slight fallouts which I dislike. Also, it’s hard to blend the color nicely.
Final Thought:
The packaging of this blush is very pretty. The texture is somewhat disappointing; it’s not soft and doesn’t blend very well. However since I bought this at the DFS ($56) I guess this is still value for money considering I got two blush color. But if I would have to pay $70 for this, I definitely won’t. The pigmentation does not disappoint but I guess the texture quality needs to be improved.
Ahhh look at your haul!!! *drools*
It’s a pity that it doesn’t blend as easily, because the color is nice and I don’t even own anything similar. Oh well, I’m sure there are nice ones around!
Yes it’s kinda disappointing to know that this blush isn’t blend very well. The pink looks pretty though
I noticed the harder texture too when I swatched these at the counter. I was a bit disappointed…but I’m still lusting after Peach Boy nonetheless
Sometimes I feel that too! I know some products are not up to my expectation but I would still crave for it :p
Meryl, I thought I was the only one who was a little disappointed by the quality. I am still pissed I paid full retail price for this. Give me Chanel or Burberry anytime.
Chanel & Burberry are much better in quality compared to this. I hope Guerlain would release another range of blush with better quality.
