here I’m wearing Guerlain’s new Écrin 4 Couleurs in Coup de Foudre ($59, new for spring 2013) on my eyes and cheeks
الحب من النظرة الأولى.
This, according to Google Translate, which tells me that Coup de Foudre, also known as the name of Guerlain’s new spring quad, indicates “love at first sight” in English.

And yes, it was (love at first sight). first time I opened this stunning gold compact, I made goo-goo eyes at it and twirled a lock of hair around a finger like I was trying to get it to get me a drink at the bar.
هاها!
Hey, baby, what’s your sign? I’m a Gemini, in case you were wondering…
Coup de Foudre shocked me in a couple different ways. First, the $59 price is alarming. Second, I think it’s supernatural… I keep expecting to see it on an episode of lost girl or Grimm!. Its gray, jade green, khaki and coral powder shadows are so bewitching that I bet even sirens and succubi would struggle to resist them.

Because this is a damned fine quad, babe! An expensive one, for sure, but I think Guerlain struck near perfection.
I mean, where do I start?
How ’bout here: when you’re 37, often you have to do the math in your head to remember your age (mark my words, it’ll happen). On top of that, shimmery finishes become really challenging.
Most shimmery finishes, that is. Coup de Foudre has magic shimmer — shimmer that glows on my lids without accenting my fine lines.
When I wear these shadows and look in the mirror, I feel like asking, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s that 27-year-old looking back at me!? hot damn and hallelujah!!”
And that coral? I expected scary, but it’s not. Be warned, though, because it’ll turn you into a coral eye shadow believer (you’ve been warned!). Swept into the crease, it works like a potion of vitality, brightening my eyes and making them look a lot more alert. Oh, yeah — and it even doubles as a blush.
Best of all, all four shades WERK! I barely have to windshield wiper with my 217 to blend any of these into each other, and when it pertains to wear time, they scoff at 14 hours with very little creasing or fading. as for fallout, “Hell, naaaw!”
Oh, and if you happen to have an orange or coral top, introduce it to Coup de Foudre. I have a feeling they’ll look amazing together. In fact, I’m using this as an excuse to go shopping (“But these would look fab with Coup de Foudre!”). Haha.
Ya done good, Guerlain. love this quad with a capital .
