I've been hearing a lot of buzz about the limited-edition Guerlain eye shadow palette that recently came out for Spring. And when you look at the Fleur de Feu palette ($57), it's easy to see why people are excited about it. Hervé Van Der Straeten, who designed Guerlain's lipsticks, created this quad of shadows, and the floral motif is gorgeous.
Fleur de Feu is sold out online, but this weekend I trekked to Bloomingdale's and had a look in person. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I don't think the product justifies the hype for this pricey piece. The untouched palette really is beautiful, but the tester that I tried had already lost its design. Without it, it's just another palette of four pretty colors, with a dusting of shimmery pink on top. If I were filthy rich, maybe I'd be sad about missing out on this item, but for now, life will continue on just fine without it.

It is quite pricey...I have other make-ups I want to spend my money on!
1Whooa that is so gorgeous! But you're right, it isn't practical. I definitely wouldn't pay that sort of money for it. The colors do seem really pretty and wearable, which is more you can say for a lot of palettes though.
2*which is more THAN you can say
3very pretty but I would never buy it. always open for gifts though *hint hint*
4I agree with you rock sugar!
Ciao Bella!
5It's pretty but way too pricey.
6Wow, that's really pretty.
7Pretty, but that doesn't mean it's going to be pretty on me. Thanks for the info Bella
8It looks sooo cool. I love it.
9exquisite!
10It's pretty, but like you said, the prettiness doesn't last very long - and the colors themselves aren't anything special. I did just drop almost that much for the new Bobbi Brown palette, but I know that I'll use that palette until it's gone (and then probably have a funeral for it). This... well, it looks nice. But that's not a reason to spend 70 bucks.
11This is pretty - but not $70 worth of pretty. I like the color and the design is pretty, which makes it special, but after a couple of uses, like you said, the design would disappear.
12Yeh... those makeups with designs on them are placed just on top. They do not last beyond the first use.
It is gorgeous tho!
13Very gorgeous but I'll save my money...
14I only like the dark colour. The rest look typical.
15Very pretty, but I think some of these shades would make me look sickly. Pink shadow shades usually do.
16Its's $57 not $67...
17Wow, looks very fancy! Love the floral motif design.
18i would never spend my money on this.
19I agree with you, but it's SO NICE! just look at the flowers and casing. it's so feminine.
20very pretty, but not practical
21Okay, this might sound silly, but the first time I saw the pattern, I thought it was a picture of the pink panther... The colors reminds me a lot of it, but mostly I think it's because yesterday I saw a really pink baby stroller with lots of pink panther logo on it *cringes*.
22sooo pretty! but i don't think i would use it... i would just look at it!
