Guerlain Meteorite Pearls, you really lived up to the hype!
I was actually looking for a loose powder to set my
makeup when I stumbled upon Guerlain Meteorite Pearls
at the department store. For a
long time now, the colourful little balls (or Pearls as I later learnt) had
always intrigued me because of their secret Stardust technology. Furthermore,
seeing those pretty little pots perched against dainty backdrops on other
bloggers' instagram accounts further piqued my curiosity but I was apprehensive
because of the price. However, I finally gave in when I walked past the beauty
counter and I'm telling you, those pearls were calling out to me!
Guerlain has other products under their Meteorites
range as well, but I specifically wanted to try the Pearls.
For my skin tone (fair), I purchased the Guerlain Meteorite Pearls
in 02 Clair at SGD84 (USD60) which contained about 25g or 88oz
of product. Apparently, the reason for the different coloured pearls are to
correct any imperfections: green to counter redness, white and champagne to
reflect light while gently illuminating it. Like the other Meteorite shades, 02
Clair also contained the 3 base colours: yellow
for redness, pink for freshness and mauve to catch the light.
The beautiful packaging is definitely a pretty item to have on your vanity table. It also has a heavenly floral scent which isn't overpowering.

As mentioned earlier, I wanted a loose powder to
set my makeup and used the Guerlain Meteorite Pearls as a loose powder. I have
rather oily skin and quickly came to the conclusion that this was NOT a setting
loose powder for me as I became oily soon, although during initial application
my husband commented my complexion glowed.
Not one to give up so soon, on the 2nd attempt, I first set my makeup lightly with Lancome Teint Miracle loose powder. Then I swirled a large fluffy brush
2-3 times which was enough to pick up a sufficient amount of the Meteorite product for my face. Finally, I dusted the Guerlain Meteorite Pearlsall over my face as a finishing powder. And boy, with the
blend of colours from the matte and shimmering pearls, the Pearls gave me such a
beautiful glow which I have never seen on myself before. My face looked
healthier, smoother and more radiant. My husband again commented my complexion
looked lovelier. I also didn't have to worry about the oilies as I had already set
my makeup and the radiance the Pearls provided was subtle, giving me an overall
healthy look. Just like how the Pearls aren't a setting powder, it is also not a highlighter.

My final thoughts on Guerlain Meteorite Pearls: pricey but worth every cent. This is a must-have for big occasions. It can also last for a long time: the SA told me
she has been using her Pearls everyday for 2 - 3 years now and still isn't
halfway through her pot. Quick tip, you can smash 1 or 2 pearls to bring along
for your travels to achieve a instant-holiday glow, instead of waiting for that
post-holiday glow! I will definitely repurchase in a heartbeat.
