Guerlain Terracotta Terra Inca Moisturizing Gloss - $30.50
My last post was about bright eyes for summer, today I'm talking about bright lips. I came across the Guerlain Summer 2011 collection - Tera Inca at my local mall while on the hunt for something else. They didn't have the bronzer I want desperately but they did have the lip glosses. I have never tried Guerlain lip glosses so I was excited to see how they would turn out.
In the tube the glosses look very bright, but once applied to the lips they become a little sheer, more wearable. The glosses have no shimmer or glitter of any kind, I almost want to say the gloss is "flat" but that would make them seem boring which they are not. The consistency of the glosses is light and not sticky, I was surprised after the first few applications by how moisturizing they were. But a quick look at the Nordstroms website and I noticed they were called "Moisturizing Gloss". I would say these glosses last a few hours alone without any re-touching for about 3-4 hours. They feel wonderful on the lips and have a very faint fragrance, the smell is not strong so if you are sensitive to products with scents you should be just fine.
Mambo #8 (not #5-haha, don't know if any of you will get that joke) is a beautiful bright orange color. It's perfect for summer especially since orange is huge for 2011. Salsa #07 is a bright pink fuchsia color that will look great with any neutral eye. These glosses are great and now I wish I would have also purchased the third gloss which was a bright red color.
I'm loving all these bright summer colors!

Those were my wedding colors, so they are near and dear to my heart. You've got to love the summery combo of orange and pink. xoxox Pretty glosses btw, I've yet to try a single thing from Geurlain.
HAHA it totally should have been mambo #5! That would have been funny, but I doubt Guerlain would want that effect XD
I'm feeling the orange!
The more I see those glosses the more I like them. I at first thought they would be too sheer but I think they may be just the right pop of colour. Beautiful post!
soooo pretty!they must be so expensive though!
hehe
WHOA the packaging is soooooo pretty and I would 100% choose Mambo!!! hahaha when i read it i thought #5 too! then i saw u write it! crazy!

Ughh but they look so sheer! D:
Guerlain is always so darn expensive. -hides-
@Hopelessly Devoted, You haven't tried anything from Guerlain? You better hop on it! They have some nice items.
@Sheila, YES! I'm glad someone got my joke. lol
@product doctor, loving orange this season!
@PerilouslyPale, I had read reviews that they were sheer, but they're not as sheer as I thought. They have decent pigmentation.
@eve, they are about $30- so they are a little pricey.
@lilladylife, I love the packaging, Mambo is my favorite color out of the two. =)
Oh, I got the joke. In fact, I was wondering why they DIDN'T name it Mambo #5 ;-)
They look so creamy and deliciously beautiful. Sigh, about the pricetag, however. ;-(
Hey! I have Salsa and I'm loving it, this is my first Guerlain lipgloss or for that matter my first Guerlain purchase, along with Terra Inca bronzer :) (I told you I will not be kept away from the bronzerssss ;) lol!) I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked Salsa, you are right about it being moisturizing and it almost feels like a little bit of a lip stain to me, which I top up with another gloss later in the day.
"a little bit of Diane is all I need'
i'm loving bright glosses, both colors are gorgeous!
Thank you so much Diane for your lovely comment!
I love the colors of your lip-glosses! And the packageing is so pretty!
