Before & After Photos

I chose shade 2N which is the shade I have always used in Guerlain foundations. I think it may be a touch darker than previous formulas, but 2N in Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow certainly works really well for my skin tone.

My Review

My Review of Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow Healthy Glow Foundation
My Review of Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow Healthy Glow Foundation

First of all, I have to say, I love how easily this foundation applies. It is literally effortless and take absolutely no work to achieve a flawless finish. It is a complete joy to apply.

It is super light and hydrating on the skin, and actually feels like skincare as it is going on. You can see that it gives a nice plumping effect on the complexion, and it really makes my skin look lovely and fresh and healthy.

The formula is nice and buildable. It’s a medium and you can definitely build it to full, but it still looks natural even when you do. I love how smooth it makes my skin look and it’s super forgiving on any texture and lines. It’s just flawless.

It terms of finish – there’s radiance but it’s not overly shiny or dewy. It makes skin so plump and healthy looking but it is definitely not shiny. It is quite glowy when first applied, but it does dry down quite a bit, and the glow recedes a little, but it stays really flawless looking. I don’t powder it which I think helps it to keep more glow as the day goes on.

It definitely has a naturally radiant finish, but it’s not dewy per se and considering it is called Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow, I was expecting more glow. Having said that, it is probably the kind of finish that a lot of people are looking for.

Throughout the day, it wears so well. I find that by the end of the day, my skin still looks pretty flawless and it doesn’t fade at all or go patchy. It really is an excellent performer.

Also, I absolutely LOVE the packaging. The glass bottle design is so chic, and it is certainly the most beautiful foundation bottle I have seen in a long time. I literally love everything about it. Plus it is recyclable and contains 25% recycled glass.

All in all, I am pretty obsessed with this, and will be reaching for this for days out and also evenings when I want a flawless finish. Bravo Guerlain!

Jo Malone London Beach Blossom Cologne Review

As soon as I heard the name Jo Malone London Beach Blossom I was extremely interested to try it. I don’t think I’ve really seen a fragrance with this kind of vibe from Jo Malone so I immediately wanted to know more. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Jo Malone London Beach Blossom?

Jo Malone London Beach Blossom Cologne Review
Jo Malone London Beach Blossom Cologne Review

This fragrance has been designed to instantly transport you to warmer climes. Think beaches (obviously), warm sun on your skin, and closing your eyes and waking up in the Seychelles (not that I’d know what that is like!).

Jo Malone London say:

Pack your bags for a summer escape. On the idyllic palm-fringed beaches of the Seychelles, encounter the rare coco de mer. Basking in tropical sunlight, the sea coconut’s sculptural form inspires the fresh solar scent of Beach Blossom Cologne.

A refreshing twist of coconut water carried on the breeze, meeting the sparkling clarity of lime and mint, wrapped in the allure of tonka bean.

The Notes

Top Note: Lime – zesty freshness

Heart Note: Coconut Water – light and refreshing

Base Note: Tonka Bean – warm accents of vanilla and almond

My Review

This is a lovely beachy fragrance, and I can’t really think of anything similar in the Jo Malone London collection. It has creamy coconut with a little bit of a suntan lotion vibe which I always find really comforting.

The lime and mint give it a kind of summer cocktail feel at the start but there’s also something about it that reminds me of the Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, although that one conjures up a completely different type of beach – more British, less tropical. Beach Blossom is all about a sun-kissed summer getaway.

First Impressions

The bottle is understated, and chic, but I have to say, I do really prefer the square Jo Malone bottles, as opposed to these rounded ones. But that’s just a personal preference!

What does Jo Malone Beach Blossom smell like?

At first spritz, Beach Blossom has a fresh and airy citrus brightness that’s really enlivening and uplifting. It is softly sweet, but not in an overpowering way and it is freshly floral rather than sugary.

Everything softens out to a lovely creamy, skin-like warmth that feels super comforting with those vibes of sunshine and sea salt on your skin.

Longevity & Performance

This isn’t a huge fragrance, you can definitely smell it on yourself, but it isn’t overpowering at all. I found that it lasts really well on my skin. I could still smell it on my wrist about 6 hours after spritzing which I was pretty impressed with.

Who Will Love It?

If you love breezy, sun-drenched florals with a touch of salty skin warmth, this one will be for you. It’s chic and feminine, and combines summer freshness with richer creamy notes that give you that cashmere hug feeling. I think this will be a real crowd pleaser.

Final Verdict

Beach Blossom Cologne is a gorgeous summery fragrance that isn’t too heady and keeps things nice and radiant and fresh. I think this would be an easy blind buy as it ticks all the boxes for a summer scent that still has cosy vibes, and it’s limited edition so you might want to snap it up before it’s gone.
