Guerlain Exotic Paradise Spring 2009

Guerlain's Spring 2009 Exotic Paradise is filled with lush, exotic color. Welcoming the triumph of springtime bliss, the palette is lively and charming. It is nice to see this visage of renewal.

The Ombre Eclat Four Shade Eyeshadow compact has a lovely etching of delicate plants and a slender bird of paradise. Opening it will reveal a burst of joyful color in four shades: pink, orange, green, and brown. The KissKiss Gloss in Pomme du Desir #806 is a gorgeous lime green sparkler. Use it alone or with a neutral lip pencil to bring out your lip shape. With luck, you might be able to pull of Angelina Jolie lips!

The Ombre Eclat single eye shadows are packaged in a luxurious compact. With 3.6 grams of product, this is the largest single-eyeshadow on the market. It comes in 10 shades with velvet, sparkly, and pearly textures. I really like the 181 L'Instant Emeraude, a deep forest green. It's perfect for a subtle smoky lid.

Available at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdales.
