Guerlain Ombre Eclat eyeshadows 409 Ombres Perlees

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for neglecting the blog recently. I have been very busy with my children, we're also in the process of planning our new kitchen and the internet connection has been playing up for the past 5-6 days. So all in all, a lot of things have come up. Still, I have managed to take pictures of my Guerlain eyeshadow collection for you to drool over (if you like that sort of thing). Also, I've just purchased the new eyeshadow quad from the summer collection, so I thought I'd quickly write up a review on that. I have also purchased the 3 new Meteorites powders, but haven't managed to take photos yet, and with half term this week and my 3 children all at home with me, it'll have to wait until next week. Anyway, the new eyeshadow quad is called Ombrees Perlees and as I said it's part of the new summer collection. The colours aren't exactly summery, they're more spring colours with soft pastel pinks and browns, but they're certainly lovely. The quality of Guerlain eyeshadows is always excellent, and while they're pretty expensive at £36, they are on par with Dior and Chanel, you do get 6 gramms of eyeshadows for your money.

I have a good few of these eyeshadows myself, I own all the limited edition eyeshadow quads that's come out since 2008, and the permanent ones as well, plus a few of the old styles quads and some singles, as well as the 2007 limited edition Christmas eyeshadow duo + eyeliner compact. These eyeshadows are always so pretty, it's sometimes hard to make myself use them, and in some cases I haven't actually touched them, or if I have, I've been very careful to go around the designs. Call me crazy, I don't care! :)
