Guerlain Coup de Foudre
Guerlain Coup de Foudre, released for Spring 2013, is the smoothest Guerlain palette I own. The colour combination is just perfect (what I would expect from Guerlain anyway), a harmonious play between different shades of green and a vivid orangey coral. Besides the coral shade (demi-matte, very sparse sparkles), all the shades contain iridescent shimmer, which reflect the light beautifully. The texture is very smooth, almost buttery but still solid in touch. All colours in this palette are very pigmented (I used one swipe for my swatches, sponge tip applicator). I haven’t noticed any fallout during application nor any fading at the end of the day.
I think this is one of the most interesting Guerlain palettes (limited edition), if you haven’t tried any of those beautiful palettes I highly recommend swatching and testing this one out, the overall colour story and formulation of this palette is worth the investment. The coral shade can be used as blush as well, I also used it to mix it with the greens in this palette, which resulted in a very interesting colour transformation.

I am more than satisfied with Guerlain Coup de Foudre, this being said, most of the time I like the spring collections or just think they are nice (or just not right up my alley). I am very tempted by Attrape-Coeur as well but I may have some very close dupes already. I have prepared some looks with Coup de Foudre, where I played a bit with colour (mixing) and shapes.
Gorgeous palette, this is
Can’t wait to see the looks you prepared, Claire!
It is! My favourite spring palette
Looks will be up this week xxx
Woaw, I’m I seeing this wrong or does these shades look like purple! I really really really want this palette soooo badly! :p I can not wait to see your looks girl! *waits*
Thank you for telling Teri, my vaio is dead and the comp I am on is displaying colours very … weird. Updated now but I think I have to take all my swatches in the morning now, makes life just easier
I think you will love this palette if you don’t have any dupes! The texture is by far my fav from Guerlain, so smooth and complex shimmer. I hope you will like the ‘looks’ he 
This is so gorgeous! The shades are so inviting.. I especially love the shade on the far right
They are! They look even more complex in real life, way prettier, non of the swatches can show the fine shimmer and the soft texture *dreamz*.
This is so very beautiful! I love the greens with that coral…such an enticing combination!
It is so beautiful and smooth, the combo is very interesting indeed a true eye candy once applied, fun to play with
This is just.. gorgeous!
Hi Isabelle, thank you for stopping by and commenting
I just love this palette … and Guerlain <3
Whoaaa you got it, you got it!!! It IS such a fun palette isn’t it???
I actually got it some time ago ‘but’ as always, the lighting was (still is, it seems, lol) bad
but anyway, I LOVE this palette, played with it the whole time and it is so pigmented! and smooth *dreamz* love guerlain <3
Woah it’s so pretty! I think that might be my next Guerlain palette!
Annick, it is even prettier in real life, hope you get the chance to check it out soon and will like it as much as I do
These swatches have pushed me over the edge. I must find out when this is available in Australia

Thank you Karima
but those swatches don’t do the pretty palette any justice, I wish those swatches would have turned out way better ‘but’ if you like them, I bet you will love the palette irl even more then 
<3
I was just looking at swatches of Attrape Couer and Coup de Foudre yesterday trying to pick which one I liked more. I like them both for different reasons though–I’m such a sucker for purple and greens so Guerlain really hit the nail on the head for me with these releases!
Attrape-Couer looks nice as well and I am also very tempted, the texture is not as smooth as Coup de Foudre ‘but’ the purples there are just so pretty! And I thought this collection would be rather so-so, actually I am interested in quite a lot of products from this collex, <3 Guerlain
This is beyond gorgeous! The shimmer and the color looks super pretty. I am really tempted to grab this one because of that gorgeous khaki green there!
When I saw the promo pics, I never would have thought I would love this palette so much. I can see me wearing it all year round, the greens are all so pretty and the texture is very smooth as well
I am very tempted by this, even though its the not the shades I would normally go for, though I am sure I would have to use the coral as a blush rather than on the eyes
I actually love green and when I swatched them in person I was more than impressed. The coral makes a great blush and it isn’t shimmey but also makes a good mixing colour
I hope you get the chance to swatch this palette, it’s beautiful and the texture is so smooth.
I caved for this palette too! the color combo is something i’d never think of trying – but yet they all looked damn good when put together, the masters behind guerlain r amazing.
This palette looks even more stunning in person, I am so glad that I got it
