Guerlain Meteorites Miniature Collection

Up for review today is my Guerlain Meteorites Miniature Collection or coffret which ever you prefer to call this. This is a lust for set and it's a great way to try out the meteorites in every color option without having to commit to a full sized purchase canister of meteorites which depending on the season, can run up to $80 for holiday limited editions. If your familiar with Guerlain Meteorites then you don't need me to tell you how wonderful they are. For those of you who don't know about these, basically they are highlighter pearls that offer a great amount of pigment payoff. These pearls also help to cast a soft glow on your skin while hiding imperfections and evening out your skin tone. This product makes your skin tantalizing radiant with a super soft glow. There is absolutely no glitter or tacky glimmer only a sheen, it's very silky soft and highly blendable every where on your face or your decolletage area. The shades in the photo above in order left to right are Beige Chic-Pink Fresh & Mystic. Each set has white and tonal pearls included to cast a variant glow of the main color shade. The beige chic is slightly more golden,the pink fresh is a nice sheer rosy glow and the mystic has a lovely silvery platinum highlight to it. The brush in the set is fabulous! So soft and gentle on your skin. To use these you just take the brush and swirl them gently around all the pearl beads and give a little tap to the brush then blend anywhere on your face or skin. The shades I'm in love with the most are the beige chic and the mystic. I have to mention that the boxes are not filled to the top because if you look in the photo you can see on the inside cover it comes with a tiny little puff which is absolutely useless! You need to use a good soft professional powder brush. The full size version are not better in weight. The pearls are not a lot so you might seem miffed when you get this home and feel as if someone emptied out the pearls. It's not the case they are all made this way. Even my Victoria's Secret Pearls of India boxes were almost empty. I ordered a few more from them only to find out all the boxes are like this. If you ask me the manufacturers are pretty cheap considering the cost of these little gems! Although they do have a high pigment payoff and they will last you a very long time less is more. You don't have to dig or rub your face puff into the pearls as you would the traditional powders so the friction is less likely to be wasted. This set sold out as it was limited edition but you can find them a few online so the price point will vary. I will list a source with other size Meteorites available in the link below. I was also told that the new 2010 beige chic pearls in full size sold now are in an even smaller box with less weight to them. How can they get any smaller? What are they going to start selling soon only 5 little pearls!  Because there are literally like under 20 pearls in the small size box now. If anyone uses these or the compact please feel free to comment on them and let me know if you think they are worth the high cost. I'm also going to be away for a few days due to a birthday getaway but I'll be back to post more of my product reviews. The ones that I purchased in the same box seem to be sold out at Sephora but they have the pearl compact which I'm including a chart from the site to give you more info on pearl color. Stay Beautiful! XOXO
