Guerlain Pearly White Meteorites

I've never purchased anything from Guerlain before but decided to finally take the plunge with the new Pearly White Meteorites (S$87) and Meteorites Butterfly Pearls (S$97). I've been mulling over the Butterfly Pearls since they came out before Christmas as part of the Midnight Butterfly collection. According to the SA at the Tangs Orchard counter, there were only three Butterfly Pearls left so I bit the bullet and bought it.



The Pearly White Meteorites gave a nice slightly pinkish white glow to my skin. It contains powder balls in pastel white, pastel mauve, pastel pink, pastel green and pastel gold. The 5 shades each have a different function: pastel white for brightening, pastel mauve for addressing dullness, pastel pink for lively color, pastel green for reducing redness in skin and pastel gold for a golden glow.


The Butterfly Pearls were super pricey but you get 60g of pearls for just $10 more than the Pearly White Meteorites which are only 33g.


I was also incredibly tempted to pick up the Parure Pearly White Brightening Highlighter (S$83, 16ml) which is a liquid highlighting cream that comes in a fat metal tube with a brush applicator. It is about twice the diameter of YSL Touche Eclat with the brush about the same size as those in YSL's Radiant Brush Foundation. The White Brightening Highlighter gives a gorgeous microfine glistening shimmer. But I decided against it as the last thing my oily skin needs is more shine. But it is limited edition, which ups the appeal factor to a makeup junkie.


As my purchase was over S$180, I also received the 7-piece GWP which includes: Secret de Purete Cleansing Milk 50ml, Super Aqua Mask, Super Aqua Serum 10ml, Super Aqua Lotion 50ml, L'Or Makeup Base 5ml, Orchidee Imperiale Cream 3ml and a lipstick sample card with KissKiss Exces de Rouge 523, KissKiss Maxi Shine Rose Tentation 865, KissKiss Gloss Cherry Shine 621 and KissKiss Stick Gloss Vanilla Beige 940.
