Swatched: Guerlain Les Fumes

You know how you have some things you can't seem to let go of? For me, one of those things is Guerlain Les Fumes. I don't wear it often enough, and have tried to purge it many times...but...I...CAN'T. Something about the colors mesmerize me. And really...swatches don't do it justice. An oldie but goodie that's still available...

***All items purchased by me.

Since this is an older palette, it's not available everywhere but I did still find it for $65 @ Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom online, and will probably still be available at random counters. 

All the textures are nice and very blendable, with different finishes to accommodate many looks and tastes. Most of all, the colors work so beautifully together.

I mean...just look at it...

THIS look from Delicate Hummingbird (and ok, all the MakeupAlley talk) was all it took to convince me of the purchase awhile back!!

Swatches in the shade, all heavily swatched. I'm showing this picture first, because the sunlight picture below is where you can see it come to life!

Sunlight, all heavily swatched. The second from the top color looks super shiny and frosty and a little scary here, but it sheers out beautifully and can be built up.

Call me crazy but I don't think I can ever let this one go! Do you have a makeup item you can get rid of no matter how hard you try, even if you don't wear it much?!!
