Boarding time for my flight from Perth was slightly delayed and I had approximately 30 minutes to spare. I walked around the shops hoping to find something unique and I came across this palette.
The Guerlain Terracotta La Sélection de L’été Makeup Palette houses a Face Powder and 4 Eyeshadows in a bronze polished compact similar to the packaging of Blush G Serie Noire. Very classy and luxury as always. This palette also comes with a face brush and a sponge applicator.
Retails at AUD75 which is about S$98, contains 9g of Face Powder and 4.5g of Eyeshadow, made in France.
Top tier shows the Face Powder – Bronze and Sculpt. The lower tier shows 4 Eyeshadows in Khaki, Sand, Brown and Gold.
I think colour of the bronzer goes on very well with my skin tone and the darker strip of sculpting powder is perfect for contouring. I don’t usually contour my face or use bronzer but the whole idea of adding some warmth to my skin after applying foundation is growing on me.
Having said that, its end of Spring, close to Summer in Australia now and I got influenced by the beautiful bronzed skin most of the BAs had. Beautiful and timeless for Singapore’s weather.
The eyeshadows in the palette are amazing. The texture is creamy and soft, colour payoff is fabulous.
Overall, the Guerlain Terracotta La Sélection de L’été Makeup Palette is very versatile and the shades are extremely wearable. For the price, I think it’s such a steal.
Thank you for reading.
What a beautiful palette! I love the warm tones. I don’t use blush for contouring, my stash only consist of pinks and corals. If you contour do you still add blush like normal?
Hi Jacqueline,
It depends on the overall look I want to achieve.
Usually I still add a touch of blush on the apples of my cheeks after contouring my cheek bones =)
Totally gorgeous! Love Guerlain!
Me too =)
lovely palette, and good value (in terms of guerlain) for what you get.
Totally, was really glad I found it..
It was on the bottom shelf!!
Great eyeshadows. I would love to see some pictures of you using them ^^
Hi Tina,
I would love to feature this palette, will do it once I am feeling better =)
Definitely a steal, great colours! I hope it’s not a duty free exclusive item.
Hi David,
How’s the home coming along?
I think it is exclusive to duty free and I don’t remember seeing it in Singapore..
These colours are gorgeous. I was hunting for the Fall collection Rouge Automatique 169 at duty free in Frankfurt but they were out of stock. Didn’t see this travel exclusive one, but the colours will look amazing on you
Thank you Fieran!!
Look coming soon and I can’t wait to get my hands on Guerlain Holiday Collection =)
Hello Joey Chong!
Got ask, can you tell me the number of the bronzer? I mean, i usually use alternate with number 3 or 4… I’m afraid it might be too fair for my skin tone!
Thanks
Hi dear,
No shade number stated on the product, I am sorry, I have no idea at all =(
