Introduction
This is a limited edition item from Guerlain's Spring 2008 collection. The theme of the collection is pearl.
Packaging
The compact is a black plastic case with screw top bearing the traditional Guerlain Meteorities motif on top. The motif is simply a drawing instead of imprint. This seems like a cheaper version of the Guerlain Meteorites 18k gold compact which fetch about USD180. So you just get what you paid for. Although the design is sleek but I still prefer a flip up compact. The screw top is a bit less convenient to use.
Texture
The powder is very finely milled and ultra smooth. One of the finest I've used.
Price
RM200.
Review
I'm a big fan of Guerlain's Meteorites powder and I know I must have it when I saw it in the advertisement. Some people said the surface design give them goose bumps but I think they are unique. I always praise Guerlain for making creative & artistic cosmetics. This is merely a pressed version of Guerlain's Meteorites powder balls. Similar to the ball version, this pressed one also comes in 3 colors which are Mystic, Rose Fraise & Beige Chic. I bought the Rose Fraise although I was tempted by Mystic too. Frankly speaking, these 3 colors doesn't differ much on my fair olive skintone. The pigment is very sheer and hardly any shimmer in it. I notice a very subtle glow but not shimmer. The white pearl at the centre can be used as highlighter at the corner of the eyes and nose bridge. Generally, this is not a must have item but a luxury item if you have extra money to spend.
