MWS Sneak Peek: Guerlain Blanc de Perle Blush G Sakura Cherry Blossom Blush – I have my eyes on YOU!

January 24, 2013 Paris B 58 Comments

I just received the official news about the upcoming Guerlain Blanc de Perle skincare and makeup range yesterday and I just had to show you the one item in the whole collection that I have my eyes on. Not eye, mind you, eyes!

I believe that the Blanc de Perle skincare range is released only in Asia but do correct me if I’m wrong. The reason this is so, is because this is the whitening range for Guerlain, and as we all know, Asia is where whitening is all the rage. I personally have not used anything from the Guerlain Blanc de Perle skincare range although I’ve been told that the sunscreen isn’t bad. I plan to pick up the Super Aqua serum soon so I’m not about to delve into the whitening products of this brand just yet.

This is one of 2 images for the Blanc the Perle range, and as you can see, it reflects the luminous ethereal effect which is promised when you use the Blanc de Perle skincare and makup. The pink on the cheeks appear to be that of the Blush G Sakura blush – a beautiful pink palette housed in a lovely white compact.

If you like pink blushes as I do, you might have to go and lie down after this to slow the pitter patter of your heartbeat after viewing the picture of the blush 😉

Here it is then, the Guerlain Blush G Sakura Cherry Blossom blush.

I have to confess that part of the reason I’m lusting after this wonderous beauty is because I see it as the perfect counterfoil to the Blush G Serie Noir released about 2 years ago! The Blush G Serie Noir comes housed in a polished black case and I can just see them sitting side by side – black vs white. Eeee….!!!! 😀

I have no idea as yet what the texture will be like or if it will be pigmented, or if it will be pale. If it is anything like the texture of the Blush G Serie Noir blush then I will tell you that the quality is sublime. The powder is lovely and pigmented yet blends beautifully to impart just a soft blush of colour on the cheeks. Blush G Serie Noir was more coral-pink and I expect this one to be a bit cooler, just based on the images.

According to Guerlain, the Blush G Sakura blush was inspired by the tenderness of Spring and blooming cherry blossoms. The striped palette contains white, coral, and petal pinks. Blend the 2 top shades of coral and white to give skin a flush of “nude pink” and blend the lower two shades of fuchsia and soft pink to create a “pink explosion” and highlight cheekbones.

To be honest with you, I”m not sure what this all means, but all I do know is that I have set my eyes and heart on this one and I can’t wait till its available in stores. At present, I’m told it will be available locally in February 2013 and perhaps around mid-February 2013 so keep a look out for it then.

I had the impression that this Blush G Sakura is exclusive to Asia but its available on the Selfridges website so perhaps, not just Asia after all, but it certainly has limited distribution.

Here are 2 more shots of the complete Guerlain Blanc de Perle collection for 2013 for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, there are Meteorites Perles too. They come in a tin of white pearls of varying shades of ivory and white, and you maybe wondering why I’m not making a big song and dance about it as I usually do. The answer is simple. I already have them! Mwahahaha! 😀 They are available permanently here in Asia so I picked up a tub a while ago. I’ll post some pictures and talk about them soon 😀

Have you tried anything from the Guerlain Blanc de Perle skincare and is anything worth trying? Does the Blush G Sakura blush make your heart go pit-a-pat?

I can’t wait till its out at the counters because I swear, this is about the only item I’m actually excited about during this quarter of 2013 and that is saying something! 😀

    I have the white balls too! Haha :). That blush gives me a heartache, love it so much but it’s not available here :(. I missed out on the other blush since I was still a bit of a make-up rookie back then :p.

      Yay for white balls! HAHA! 😀 I don’t know if the blush is only an Asia exclusive but I suppose its always worth asking your local Guerlain people just in case its brought in in limited quantities 😉 The Blush G is one of my faves! I’m not sure a fan of the blush duo which is why its so hard for me to write a review 😛

    what a pretty collection, for the first time I am’a little’ bit interested in the skincare form Guerlain. But ‘blanc de perle’ … that sounds amazing and I just want the collection, because of the name 😛 I am very curious about the base, especially the pink and white one. But to be honest, I need a lavender base.

      January 25, 2013 at 3:06 pm

      It just trips off the tongue doesn’t it? Blanc de Perle 😀 I don’t know how the base will fare either but now that you mention it, it does look interesting hmm… I find lavender bases really impressive for brightening the complexion and lifting sallowness. I used to use a lilac tinted sunscreen from L’Oreal. Perfect!

    Wow in this collection all focus is on the cheeks (very pretty, by the way). Reminds me of Snow White as everything is so fair and white! I suppose it’s not quite as good for darker skin tone then?

    Reply
    • Paris B says

      January 25, 2013 at 3:08 pm

      Ooh you’re right about Snow White! 😀 The collection actually focuses on the skin – the makeup is subsidiary to the skincare which is the main focus. But with a blush like that, who’s really looking at the skincare eh? 😉 I do think the blush will suit most because of the lower fuchsia and pink shades but we won’t know till we see the real thing 😉

      I will be definitely reviewing the blush when I get it JoanneP 😀 The Blush G had a gorgeous formula. I don’t know why they didn’t keep it and made the duos instead 🙁 I’ve only tried the Super Aqua range and I quite liked it. Am thinking of getting the serum to try because my skin needs that hydration boost!

    It all looks so lovely!! We have blanc de perle but it looks like you gonna get plenty of new whitening tubes and beautiful jars in Asia! 😛 We have only basic products I think. Whitening meteorites look beautiful, I dont know if they would suit my skin tone but in packaging the pressed ones are just gorgeous!

    Btw is someone else bored of seeing Natalia on the adverts? I understand she dates son of the owner of Guerlain but changing something a little wouldnt hurt? 😀

      I’m afraid I feel the same way you do about Natalia, Catherine! She’s beautiful but its all starting to look the same. Or maybe some new art direction may have to be employed? I didn’t know about her dating the son of the owner of Guerlain – now it sort of makes sense 😉 The white perles Meteorites mostly serve as a highlighting powder for me. Its very sheer and imparts a beautiful glow on skin but is a bit too shimmery for all over use unless you’re channeling the Snow Queen 😀

    OMGeeeeeeeeeee, I nearly died and went to blush heaven!!! Omg, I AM REALLY HOPING IT WOULD SUIT MY nc45 skintone Paris!!!! It looks like it could. Hopefully the white strip and the light pink are not the frosty type….

      I wouldn’t know Deepa but I do hope it’ll suit your skin! If the quality of Guerlain powders are anything to go by, it shouldn’t be too frosty although it might be a bit light. Still, the lower 2 shades seem to ground it a little so lets hope that it’ll all tie in some how 😀

    Stop it with the blushes you are killing me :-). As with the Shiseido blush I don’t know if this will come to Holland, I think so but I haven’t read anything about it yet on blogs. The Shiseido blush was no go for me, there was no time to go to Amsterdam and by the end of the festive season I had bought more then enough other goodies… and shoes. So if I ever run in to it I might buy it, but for now I will be checking the spring collections for a beauty… and I bought my first Dior Blush today… with your love for Dior in the back of my mind 🙂

Which Dior blush did you end up getting? I do love them – they’re lovely and soft in colour and very pretty on skin 😀

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!)
