Guerlain - Meteorites Pearls: 04 Pearly White


Introduction
This is Guerlain's Asian Exclusive Meteorites in 04 Pearly White released for Spring 2009. I feel so good to live in Asia!

Packaging
The theme is white. I've noticed that Guerlain has made some variation on the Meteorites powder balls packaging for their holiday collection in recent years. The whole casing design had changed instead of just change the color of the 'fish scale' pattern. However, the casing for this Pearly White is still the traditional 'fish scale' pattern but in white. It is a bit plain for my taste.

Texture
Scented with Guerlain's signature scent. The texture is fine and smooth.

Price
RM185, 33g.

Review
Currently Guerlain Meteorites face powder has 3 regular shades which is 01 Mystic (the original), 02 Pink Fresh & 03 Beige Chic. From the naming convention, I suppose 04 Pearly White would be their regular too (in Asia). I'm kind of expect a white cast when I heard the name is Pearly White, instead it gives a beautiful pink glow. I like this Pearly White more than the other 3 regular shades. I really can't tell the different between Pink Fresh & Beige Chic but I can clearly see the difference for Pearly White. It is more glowing but not glittery at all. I hardly see any shimmer on my face. Pearly White reminds me of the Reflect De Nacre released for Holiday 2002 minus the shimmer. I would highly recommend fair skintone people to go for this Pearly White instead of the other 3 shades.
