Did I really set an alarm this morning so that I would wake up in time to drive to the Guerlain counter for the one piece of makeup I happened to glimpse yesterday, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about since? Well, I’d rather not say I did, because it makes me sound like a crazy person.
But that’s more or less the story.
Love at first sight. It happens, sometimes.


You’re not a crazy person, MM. I am guilty of doing this frequently… over food… *sigh*
Oh I do this over food all the time too LOL *kindred spirits!*
It is a rare occurrence for me to get out of bed for makeup though. In fact, it’s never happened before this.
…And looking at this palette, I can totally understand why! I haven’t engaged in this behavior in a while, but I HAVE TOTALLY BEEN THERE. The last time I can remember was for Chanel’s Blush de Horizon, which I got up early on a Saturday morning to rush to the store to buy (we only have one Chanel counter here, so it HAD to happen).
Anyway. That is one sexy palette. And now I want one too, damn you, MM!
And this isn’t even LE hahahah I just couldn’t get it out of my head. MY PRECIOUS mentality. And that was a gorgeous blush, I can see why you got up early to purchase that. GET IT GET IT. It’s so beautiful.
That is totally worth getting out of bed for, so no you are not crazy! You know what they say, if you can’t stop thinking about something, it is probably worth the purchase…so there you go! Totally justified.
LOL I love my blogging friends who tell me I’m not crazy, I’m pretty sure this qualifies as insane behavior in most circles
Do they say that? I like that saying. Gonna adopt it as my motto
No dear MM–it would be crazy NOT to! I fully support your decision! BEAUTY ADDICTS UNITE!!!
haha
hahaha ah, I almost forgot who I was talking to, of course you guys understand!
If I could wake up ever, I would do this. Lol. So you are not crazy!! YAY!!
hahaha oh you guys are all a terrible influence and I love you for it
i’m pretty useless when it comes to not making people buy things. LOL!
Hahaha it is worth it, isn’t it?
I haven’t done something like this, but I have keyed in a reminder when a particular collection/item was launching so I’d remember to pick it up
I am just reusing my Ecrin 6 palettes and I’m liking it better this time around compared to the first time. I don’t have Place Vendome though… hmm…
mmhmm, most definitely. hahah I’ve done that too, but this is the first time I’ve set an alarm for a permanent item! I just couldn’t keep away hahaha. Which one do you own? I thought the other ones were quite pretty, but this is the one that stood out to me right away, and I liked that there was a good variation in shades, while they all still seemed to balance each other perfectly.
I have Rue de Passy and Rue de Rivoli
omg love Rude de Rivoli. That pop of pink!
I believe in love at first sight.

PrettyGloss – makeup, beauty & a lil gibberish
hahaha true romantics unite!
Hahahhaa that’s totally okay, MM! What a stunning palette.
If I had a car I’d probably do the same at some point in my life. Cannot wait for your swatches!
I can’t stop staring, seriously!! Just wait until I show you guys the nighttime shots I took yesterday, it looks even prettier in those. Swatches coming soon!
Eeee, with such a pretty palette, I don’t see how someone would do anything other than what you did. Looking forward to swatches and/or looks from ya
That’s what I like to hear! They’re coming soon
OH YOU CRAZY YOU <3
I can't bring myself to pay full prices for Guerlain yet but now I want this palette and maybe more crazy things will happen, hahahhaa!
LOL I FEEL THE LOVE. Ugh, yeah, with the crazy sales tax here it was almost too much, but in the end I decided to go for it. And it was worth it. *enables quietly while staring at the pile of candles you’ve inspired me to buy*
Oh Lord…..this palette was so worth setting the alarm for….love the entire combo! Desperately needing this now…
Right? The colors are just so unexpectedly perfect together. The more I look at it, the more I’m like YOU GET ME.
Wow that piece of make-up looks amazing I do not blame you!
hahaha good to know! Restraining myself from going back for more…Rue de Sevres was a close second.
WOW.
*nods fervently*
