Just received a mailer from Guerlain which is running a series of weekend specials in July.
3-5 July: Girls' Night Out set @ S$135 (usual price S$192) comprising Midnight Star, Midnight Butterfly Mascara and Spring Mono Eye Shadow
10-12 July: Summer Fling set @ S$143 (U.P. S$205) comprising Perfect White UV Protector, KissKiss Lip Gloss and Meteorites Pearl Powder No. 3
17-19 July: Light & Easy set @ S$181 (U.P. S$259) comprising Prarure Pearly White Compact Foundation, Super Aqua Light Cream and Aqua Allegoria Kiwi EDT 75ml
24-26 July: Pro Essential set @ S$261 (U.P. S$381) comprising Meteorites Travel Compact Powder, Super Aqua Serum and KissKiss Stick Gloss.
The Guerlain counters are at Tangs Orchard and Takashimaya. For the month of July, there is also a 3-piece GWP with every purchase of Terracotta Mineral Loose Powder.
While I got the Guerlain Prarure Pearly White Compact Foundation at a steal, I discovered that actually the Prarure Pearly White Brightening Fluid Foundation gives a much more superior finish. It spreads very easily for a seamless, velvety natural finish, provides good coverage and lasts well throughout the day. It's definitely one of the best liquid foundations I've ever tried. If I had to pick one, I would definitely recommend the Fluid Foundation over the Compact Foundation. As for powder foundations in general, my all time favourite is still Lancome's Maquicake UV Infinite, which is also Lancome's top-selling powder foundation in Singapore. Currently, the Lancome counter at Tangs is giving away a free Maquicake refill with every purchase of the Maquicake UV Infinite Powder Foundation (including the case). If I didn't have the case already, I would definitely stock up.

Looks like Guerlain is having lots of special promotion. ^_^
The only thing which I regret not buying from Guerlain is that pretty butterfly collection, both the spray-on body shimmers and the e/s quad. Their stuff are so pretty...
Hey AhCapp,
Yeah, times are bad so I think they need to have lots of promos to keep drawing customers back (and to help clear their stocks)!
I don't think the butterfly quad was that great, the color payoff was medium at best. The spray on body shimmer was also not that unique, it was really the bottle with the butterfly pin that was the main attraction. But it was just too expensive to shell out for the bottle alone which can't be re-filled.
Thanks Iris. ^_^ Ok, I can throw that regret down the drain now. ^_^
Oh yes, times are bag. I seriously think Guerlain is making the right move to have so many promotions. It's a very expensive brand afterall. -_-;
How much is the foundation for Guerlain! Sounds really tempting! :)
Hi,
the liquid foundation is S$87. The counter at Tangs has been having a sale on the powder foundation for the past couple of weeks at only S$35 but not sure how long this will last.
I bought the powder foundation 2 weeks ago IIRC. I am tempted to get the liquid foundation, is it worth the price? :) Thanks
hi haru do you know if the sale for the compact is still on? very tempted to get it. heehee
woot. right time for me to start looking at guerlain stuff. keke. :D thanks for posting the promo info.
hi santa_monica8,
The compact foundation promo should still be on but why don't you give the Tangs counter a call to check? The promo is only at Tangs, not the Takashimaya counter.
Hi Tracy,
The liquid foundation is definitely worth the price. Do try it out at the counter!
hi haru i called up tangs and they say it over. so sad. but anyway will stll be going down to check out the stuff. if the SA at Tangs friendly? really dun have any good impression on Tangs SA of any counter. haha
I ever got a sample of Maquicake UV Infinite Powder Foundation. However, I found it looks cakey on me. Maybe, I should give it a try again since it comes with a free refill now.
Thanks for the review of the liquid foundation! I want to go try it out now.
