Guerlain Meteorites Flocons Enchantes Holiday 2015


Why I need another meteorites in my life? I also don't know how to answer this question. The result is same same but different. But this holiday edition is about the packaging. Do you agree that this is the most beautiful Meteorites packaging so far? At first I want to skip this piece but finally I surrender and just ordered it online.






I'm happy that this time Guerlain make a pretty design with a different material for the case. It is a sturdy plastic in a snowglobe form. I think I will skip if it is made of another tin or worse, cardboard like last time. The color is white with the golden accent and decoration.

The size is bigger as usual and of course fatter because of the shape is like a ball (but flattened on the bottom to prevent it from rolling on the table). It also contains more product than usual.


The closure is a twist type which I like better that the usual tin case. It has mirror inside of the lid. Like previous holiday edition, it is not a bald puff, but a fluffy one with ribbon, only this time is not red, but white and gold. 


Not like usual colorful balls, this edition contains beige and golden pearls purposedly to create frosted light, radiance and irridescent. The shape of the pearls is also not only round, we get some stars among them too. (Well, not snowflake like we thought).. 


The shimmer is fine but still visible when I did swatch on my hands. When completely blended, the fine shimmers is no longer shimmery but leave gorgeous sheen to my skin. It reduces the appearance of my imperfection like my pores and gently brightening my skin. It last for about 6-7 hours on me. 

Again, it's really hard to capture the result on my face. Meteorites is always better in reality than in the picture. You need to try it yourself and decide whether to buy it or not.

Guerlain Meteorites Compact


I think everybody knows Meteorites, Guerlain's signature products.. Everytime Guerlain launch new meteorites , girls gone crazy even they already have previous series already. Yes, we never have enough of them. Same same but different!

While people love Meteorites tins and collect them, they need one for travel companion. Guerlain hear them. They come out with Meteorites Compact which is much more travel friendly but still have the same magic result that we love. 





The packaging is quite heavy and luxurious enough with the magnetic closure, talking about the price. I think I will not buy this if the case is made from plastic or thick paper/cardboard. Lol.. 

I never use compact mirror at home since I always reach for my table mirror, but in this compact I love that Guerlain includes one.


Sorry for the picture. I forget where I save the brand new picture. But you have the idea that this compact is just like the mix of Meteorites balls in a pressed form. No embossing, just colorful.

I don't own the Meteorites Perles in Clair since I only collect the limited editions and feel that I don't need to buy the regular one, so I could not make a comparison between them. 

All I know is Meteorites never fail. This compact gives instant glow but not causing my skin looks oily. Not like some Meteorites series which tend to be highlighter due to the visible shimmer, this compact is wonderful as finishing powder. It is not bold enough as a highlighter.

The glow is so soft and smooth and it only visible where the light touch your skin. I need no effort in strobing or something like that. Smells not as strong as Meteorites in tin if you know what I'm talking about.

The powder is not as soft as the Meteorites balls so you are free to dip your brush in that compact without the fear of excess product applied. This does not change your skin color, so basically you can put as much product as you need until you achieve the glowing looks that you want.

It last for 6 hours before fading. So far it did not clog my pores or make them visible. Fluffy powder or blush brush is perfect for application.

Guerlain Meteorites Baby Glow



When I received email from Sephora that they held another member sales this week, I need to get my hands on something. I think I need some good base for my bad skin condition lately. I know I have many bb cream, cc cream, foundation etc. But this time I'm talking about the light one, and then I remember that I have sample sachet of this Guerlain Meteorites Baby Glow. So I'm sorry about  unphotogenic pictures and product this time.


"With Météorites Baby Glow, for the first time, light becomes liquid… subtle, silky, impalpable. With a unique alchemy that combines technology with a touch of magic, this liquid light glides onto the skin as a luminous, perfecting veil that erases signs of fatigue and reveals the youth and natural glow of the complexion. The skin looks rested, smooth and replenished – as beautiful and fresh as a baby’s skin. Like an infusion of moisture, the ethereal and delightfully aqueous texture of Météorites Baby Glow makes it glide effortlessly onto the skin, suffusing it with a long-lasting sensation of comfort. With this hydrating burst of freshness, the skin relaxes and appears refreshed, invigorated, plump and radiant. " - www.guerlain.com


From the description paper 
 where the sachets attached (and from the web), this product supposed to be a Light-Revealing Sheet Make Up Anti-Fatigue Effect. So basically it will give you a natural healthy skin looking.. Seems promising right? Yeah something like that. And from the name we know that this not a product with a super coverage, but this is sheer and light. 

It has SPF25 PA++, not too high but enough to protect your skin if you are working indoor. There are 3 shades : Clair, Medium, and Dore (same with the Meteorites Perles)


There you can see Guerlain suggests a pure radiance routine.  You can follow them for better result. 



The sample is 1.5ml and I can use it up to 4times. I put the rest of the product inside a jar to prevent it from drying.


Texture is kind of sheer, so the product is not as heavy or thick as other products that I tried. It is sheerer than Chanel Les Beiges Cream or CC Cream. 

I took picture when it is lightly spread. It is super easy to blend and super light! I have no complaint about the texture and blending ability. Now look at the right bottom when it is completely blended. It is like my second skin but better. I got the instant healthy glow! I'm not kidding!


When applied on my face, it reduces the signs of fatique like it claims. My pores looks smaller and my skin looks healthier in instant without causing a heavy look that recently I avoid. 

You still can see my dark spots and blemish.. If you look for a high coverage, this is not for you. While I said yes, absolutely yes. And you know what, I already ask my friend to get the full size for me. 


These pictures taken without editing or filtering. And I don't use other product on my face. Just this awesome Baby Glow. Then what do you think?


Thank you for reading and have a nice day!
