Guerlain Summer Collection 2009: Guerlain Terracotta Blush & Sun Review and Swatches

Let's step into Summer for a second here. Can I tell you the life of a beauty blogger is so NOT fun. I hate that I can't enjoy Winter without worrying about Spring or how I can't just indulge in Summer makeup because I'm busy testing Fall....grrrrrrr!

So today let's step back into Summer. After all we are in the heart of it right now aren't we? It's almost August and the sun is super bright today! Humidity is hitting my little city so hard and I'm smiling all the more for it as I'm tired of all the bloody rain New York's been hit with lately.

Stepping into Summer reminds me I indulged in Guerlain Terracotta Blush & Sun. Oh Guerlain how you delight the Muse.


Jump back into Summer by taking the jump for a quickie review of Guerlain Terracotta Blush & Sun!

Guerlain manages to cover both the bronzing and the blush world by creating it's Blush & Sun powder. Capturing the essence of a bronzer with a touch of sheer blush makes thee perfect go to powder for Summer. It's a Summer must have in the Muse's opinion.






The bronzer aspect of the product is ever so sheer so for all the bronzer dummies (like me!) out there or those nay sayers that hate bronzers (I used to be one of those!) this is the ideal solution for getting a kiss of the sun but still having the added benefits of a pinch of blush.

The product comes in three different shades all of which are very nice however the lightest shade, 01 Sun Light, is the best of the three in my opinion and should work well on light to medium skin tones. The shade is a golden peachy beige with a kiss of shimmer. The product works more like a blush than a bronzer which is what makes it so appealing however don't let that fool you as it does give cheeks a sunny touch of color.

The finished look is probably one of the more natural ones I've come across. A sweep of this across your cheeks creates a very sunny, peachy look that not only wears like a blush but also manages to look as if you're spent an hour at the beach and got a slash of color across your cheek bones. Very, very flattering.












Overall, if you're scared silly of bronzers and aren't tempted to try one out for size I'd say that Guerlain Terracotta Blush & Sun is the perfect product for you. A touch of the sun and a touch of blusher creates a super flattering look in this warm, humid weather!

Delicious!
