Introduction
This is from Guerlain's Christmas collection in year 2006. Along with this collection is the Perles de Velours Meteorites which I have reviewed previously.
Texture
Slightly scented with Guerlain’s signature scent. The texture is ultra fine and silky smooth. One of the finest powder I’ve tried. It contains white sapphire to give the finish some glow and shimmer.
Packaging
I fall for the packaging. I know I gotta have it when I first saw the picture of it. Although it is made of cardboard but still looks elegant and classy with the red and gold color scheme. It also comes with a brush and a holder to separate the brush from the powder itself. Genius!
Price
RM265, 30g.
Review
This babe is so hard to find! I’ve checked almost all the Guerlain counters in KL and all were sold out. Finally I got it shipped from England.
I use this as a finishing powder and I’m impressed of the result. It makes my skin smoother instantly and makes my pores less visible eventually. The shimmer is very subtle and almost invisible on the face but it does give a slight glowing effect. The brush that comes with it also very soft and useable. However, it might gives a white cast to people with darker skintone. My skin is dry and flaky so I don’t use powder normally but I like this one. It doesn’t dry me out.
It is expensive but the generous size and the lovely packaging does make it more worthwhile.
