A bit early maybe, but Guerlain’s Christmas collection (available Nov 1^st) reminds us that the Winter season can be just as anticipated as Summer.

An exclusive edition of the powder with white and sparkling silicone sleeve. For me the most surprising in the collection was the availability of bronzing powder in snow case. Perhaps there is a certain logic. Speaking the truth, I myself long ago renounced colored blush, bronzers performs this role (and a hint of light sculpting program), vobschem Guerlain surprised, it turned out.
