Coming Attraction: Guerlain Terra Ora Collection for Summer 2013

I've been waiting to show you Guerlain's Terra Ora Colection for Summer 2013. I had photos, but they weren't the best. I am so impressed with this elegant collection that I waited for great photos. Here's the collection, along with the press on it.

Guerlain’s 2013 Terra Ora collection is an invitation to summer. Using white and gold tones, which are showcased through stunning product composition and imagery, the Terra Ora assortment provides an unexpected and gorgeous contrast by playing with light and shadow, maximizing radiance, and enhancing the inherent beauty of sun-kissed skin.

Guerlain’s newest, limited-edition signature compact. Terra Ora ($72) is composed of a pearly white gold and matte beige, which highlight and sculpt the face and décolleté. Terra Ora works for all skin tones and comes encased in a beautiful wooden mirror case with magnetic closure. Want a pro tip for application? Starting at the outer area and finishing with the inner gold circle, swirl your brush in an “O” shape for that perfect hint of bronze and gold all at once.

The sheer, luxurious, limited-edition Météorites Perles Les Ors Primer ($71) base uses a combination of three different gold pearls to reveal a brighter complexion. White pearls illuminate the skin, while pink and yellow pearls add a rosy glow and a subtle shimmer. The lightweight gel texture makes this primer perfect for setting makeup in warmer weather, or on its own to enhance the skins’ natural radiance.

Khôl Me Kajal ($37.000 is Guerlain’s newest eyeliner - a permanent addition to the line. It is ultra-pigmented to leave a deep, long-lasting impression. The precision tip and ingenious pen shaped design allow for easy manipulation, enabling it to be used as liner or eye shadow.

I'm going to bawl if I can't have this whole collection. When I saw the limited-edition Loose Powder Eye Shadows ($35.00), I gasped. The secret for beautiful eyes this summer, Guerlain’s loose iridescent eye shadows give an immediate metallic result with only one light application. The shadows are available in two easy-to-wear shades: Cuivre Ora, a warm and sensual copper, and Bronze Ora: a timeless bronzed brown.

Guerlain offers this pro tip: For a classic look, sweep directly on the eyelid, follow with a neutral beige or brown into the crease, and follow with Maxi Lash mascara.

Look at the limited-edition Terra Nerolia ($69.00)! This exquisite oversized face and body bronzer showcases a dazzling sun icon comprised of shimmering peach, bronze, and gold shades. When marrying the three shades together with each brushstroke, the gold infuses throughout, resulting in a subtle satiny sheen. In line with the Terracotta collection, Terra Nerolia is scented with the alluring tiare flower. Swoon!

For a subtle, natural-looking summer bronzed complexion, Guerlain suggests you start your appliation at the top of the compact and sweep the letter “S” to achieve the perfect balance of bronze, gold, and peach.

The treasures continue. Two limited-edition Shine Automatiques ($35.00) comprise the newest additions to Guerlain’s legendary Shine Automatique collection, offering lips a second-skin texture and luminous shimmer all in one. Corail Ora is a luminous warm coral shade with gold tone iridescence, offering color that is wearable and oh-so-trendy.

Bianca Ora is a semi-transparent white gold that can be worn alone or as a top coat to create a shiny wet effect.

Lingerie de Peau BB Cream, SPF 30 ($51.00), which I mentioned this morning, is a permanent addition. Guerlain’s first Beauty Booster, Lingerie de Peau BB Cream offers skin protection, hydration, color correction, and even tones through a fresh, lightweight texture. Its benefits are proven with staggering results: over 97% experienced fresh and beautiful skin all day long. I've got more information about it and will share it tomorrow.

This beautiful Terra Ora Kabuki Brush ($55.00) is a limited edition exclusively designed for Guerlain bronzing powders. Dense and qualitative natural hairs pick up a generous amount of product and smoothes it evenly onto the skin, resulting in flawless, streak-free color.

Guerlain’s Terra Ora collection will be available beginning in May 2013 at select locations of Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, and Bergdorf Goodman - and of course at the Guerlain Boutiques. The Terra Nerolia Bronzer will be available beginning June 2013.
