Guerlain - Terracotta Loose Powder Khol 04 Oriental Bronze



Introduction
This is from Guerlain's Terracotta collection for summer 2007. This collection comes with several interesting products which I'll review later. They are the Sun Elixir, Blush & Sun blushers and bronzers.

Texture
Unscented loose powder. The color is a mystical greenish grey with copper sparkles. Really oriental.

Packaging
The packaging is very exotic. The cap is in gold color with Middle East style motif. The tube is transparent which I greatly appreciate because their previous regular eye kohl tube is unable to see how much contain is left in the tube. There is a thin stick attach to the cap which you could pick up the powder from the tube and apply directly to eyes using the stick. What an innovative invention! Without the stick, I really don’t know how I’m going to pour the powder out of the tube. However I do not recommend to use the stick as applicator to avoid contamination. Normally what I do is I use an eyeliner brush to pick up the powder on the stick and apply on eyes. Oh my gosh, it even comes with a velvet pouch!

Price
RM99, 1g. I loves it so I think is worth it.

Review
The color is truly unique! I have not seen any eyeliner in this color. It brighten up my eyes and make them looks mystically bigger instantly! It is a greenish grey with copper sparkles in it. I bet it will look good on everybody. It compliments my brown eyes so well that I'm thinking whether I need a backup of this. I love the Turquoise kohl that Guerlain came out last year and I couldn't find it anywhere now. The applicator is a bit messy to use and some of the powder dropped onto my face but you can always use a eyeliner brush with it. I love this stuff.
