In love with: the all new Guerlain 'Noir G' Mascara

A few weeks ago I popped down to the water-side Mantell’s venue on Auckland’s harbour to hear all about the latest releases from Guerlain – one of the first makeup and perfume houses that I became aware of as a teenager, and one of France’s most iconic brands. As much tied up with notions of pure Gallic chic as Chanel and Yves St. Laurent, it is a name that is synonymous with luxury.
As can it’s newest mascara release, the truly extraordinary Noir G. This sleek black beauty is the first mascara to combine the extravagant luxury of a jewel case with a mirror and an extraordinary formula that adds volume, lengthens and curls. It has super charged, ultra-black pigments that create perfectly defined eyes without any risk of smearing, smudging or clumping, whilst a fortifying agent helps to regenerate lashes by stimulating keratin for fortification and lash growth. Like a magic wand, the ground breaking Noir G goes one step further with a refillable applicator, making it convenient and easy to switch to a new wand as soon as you need it. Pull on the case and with a click, the hidden mirror is revealed. Add a quick twist and the brush appears, ready to create exceptional, stunning lashes. Love it!
Die-hard mascara obsessives like me will go nuts for this reinvention of the one beauty staple that’s been given every makeover possible - false-lash effect! Vibrating wands! Wrapped and spiralled bristles! Does everything but the dishes!
Not only does Noir G perform at its best - full dimension, robust volume, healthier lashes through regeneration, and a long-lasting formula – it also comes in a sleek, metallic, jewel-like case with mirror AND is refillable. Guerlain has gone green while looking thoroughly fabulous – that my kind of recycling!
My next Guerlain want is a bottle of the all-new Shalimar, which smells like pure heaven at first sniff. The reformulated incarnation of the classic scent loses none of the exoticism and charm that drew me in when I first made an acquaintance with it many years ago, and I think I’m set fall in love all over again!
