Finally, some Guerlain in my life!

Have you ever fallen in love with a product but haven't been able to justify the price? I lusted after Guerlain's Meteorites Perles for months and months before finally treating myself. At around £35 it's definitely not the cheapest product I've bought but I just couldn't resist as it's such a pretty product.
There is a limited colour range available, I think there are three permanent shades and one limited edition shade (I'm not sure if the limited edition shade is still available as I can't find the product at all on the Debenhams or House of Fraser websites, I'm sure it's available in store/on other websites though). The shade I chose is Teint Rose 01 which is used for brightening up your skin.
I love how pretty all the different coloured balls look. These smell gorgeous as well, exactly like Parma Violet sweets. The smell is fairly strong in the pot however doesn't translate or linger when applied to the face. I like to use a fluffy powder brush to apply this product all over my face after applying foundation. The effect is incredibly pretty and gives a subtle healthy glow.
I'm wearing the brightening pearls in the above picture, I just love the effect. Admittedly it's not a product I use every day, I often forget especially when I'm in a rush! I do love using this when I have the time to. Whilst it's not a vital product I'm so glad I bought it, it's a gorgeous luxe purchase.

  2. I love it on your cheeks! Are they pure shimmer or do they have a little color when swatched? I never own a guerlain makeup product cause they're very pricey! :(

    1. When you swatch it on your finger it looks like a shimmery white but on the face it just translates to a flattering shimmer. I know it's the only Guerlain product I own, they're definitely something you'd only buy as a treat! Thank you x
