Guerlain - Meteorites Pearls: Gold Temptation (2007)

Introduction

This is from Guerlain's 2007 holiday (Christmas) collection. the main theme for this collection is gold.

Packaging

This year's holiday collection Meteorties packaging is quite different from all the past releases. It doesn't have the signature 'fish scales' like design at the side but purely solid gold and white. I'm a bit disappointed with the package actually. I was hoping it comes with a golden 'fish scales' design.

Texture

I found this version has a finer and smoother texture compares to all the previous Meteorites releases. The powder balls are much smaller than the regular one and this is the 1st time I saw such a small Meteorites balls. Maybe this contribute to the finer texture.

Price

RM168, 33g.

Review

As we all can see from the picture, the main theme for this year is gold. This meteorites consists of powder balls in shimmery gold, shimmery silver, white, beige. Maybe it looks a bit boring but it actually turns out to be one of the best Meteorites. The give the skin an absolutely gorgeous glow and compliment my olive skintone very well. It is a glowing effect and basically the shimmery particles are hardly noticeable. Although the tiny size of the balls gives a smoother and finer texture but those balls stuck on my brush bristle occasionally. My brush will pick up some of the balls out from the container and eventually falls to the floor. What a waste! I used to divide my Meteorites into half and swap half of the content out but I doubt I'm able to divide this Meteorites evently with such a small size and large amount of balls. Generally, this is a gold version of Meteorites, definately worth a try.
