Guerlain LE Eyeshadow Palette Fleur de Feu


Heart... fluttering... Cannot... breathe...

Hooooly smokes, but Guerlain's Fleur de Feu (Fire Flower, I think) limited edition eyeshadow palette is making me go weak in the knees. Designed by Herve van der Straeten, the man who brought Guerlain into the 21st century with his product designs, the palette takes inspiration from a South African flower that "mocks the surrounding land ravaged by fire [...] the ideal metaphor for casting off winter's gloom." Oooookay. But apart from the melodramatic copy, what's not to like about the pink and grey shadows encased in a black gold (swoon!) compact? Nothing, I tell you, NOTHING.

I'm going to see if a friend can get this for me at the Wellington Airport. He's flying in to Melbourne on Saturday. :P Worth a try to get him to check it at both Melbourne AND Wellington Airport

Tine: I know! I can deal with the design because it's not as intense as some YSL or Dior palettes where I would be afraid of destroying the entire effect.

GC: Oooh, let me know when you get them!
