Guerlain Météorites Birthday Candle Pearls

The Guerlain Météorites Birthday Candle Pearls are a new addition for me to my family of Guerlain powders.

If you are thinking of investing in Guerlain Météorites, I whole heartedly recommend the loose powder aka the pearls, as opposed to the pressed powder version.

The Guerlain Météorites Birthday Candle Pearls comes in a really beautiful packaging and the pink tin box is really pretty. Even the lid is a work of art.

Once you remove the lid, you find a sponge which keeps all the pearls in place. I personally would not use this sponge to apply the powder onto my face.

Beneath the sponge, the Guerlain Météorites Birthday Candle Pearls are in full glory.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful these are? All the pearls smell like violets and the finish you get from this, is not a flat matte finish. In fact, it is not so much a setting powder as a finishing powder. If you wonder about the difference, a setting powder is more "hardcore" and really has the ability to lock in your makeup.

A finishing powder usually has a softer finish and gives an iridescent glow to the entire makeup look. This is not the most travel friendly product, in fact, I caution against it completely. This is definitely a vanity table product and I really enjoy using it.
