Guerlain Holiday 2014- A Night at the Opera

[sugarberry]

Excuse the odd car photo, but it's truly had to capture the loveliness of meteorites in pictures-- and I thought it did justice in outdoor lighting. The holiday balls gave me a bit of a glow, and really does seem like "photoshop" for your face. At least it photographs that way. Very happy with my purchase!

You look beautiful! I agree about the glow. I wore it to a family dinner, and everyone kept commenting on how nice my skin looked. LOL!

It's absolutely LOVE it on you, and I LOVE the Guerlain lipstick formula but the packaging is a tad overkill--I keep waiting for my hubs to pick it up thinking it's his Swiss
Army Knife

.I'm so glad you love it. ENJOY!!!

Your pics are amazing. I feel as though I'm looking at them in real. Beautiful, can't wait to get them in my hands.

Hi dear friend!

Yep, I use a big fluffy MAC 182 kabuki & just dust it over my face.

They would be beautiful on you!

Thank you!! And that's wonderful! I love getting compliments when wearing meteorites because I know I've invested in a good product, hehe.

How are you guys applying these? All over or just on cheek bones? I don't think I've gotten the hang of it yet. Plus, I'm using the Guerlain scratchy brush. Maybe I should try another brush.



i use the Real Techniques Powder brush. Its the perfect size and applies the perfect amount of product.

I just received the Meteorites this morning! Ahhh....it was worth every single penny. On my NC45 skin tone it adds warmth to my skin. I thought it would be too similar from what I already own (#4 Dore from the permanent collection) and its opposite. Dore is more of a brightener on me while D'etoile adds warmth. So with that I'm very happy with this one. My only complaint is that I only have two red balls. Everything else seems to show an even amount of colors. I was thinking of getting another one just to see if my luck is any better with getting more red one's but after I applied it in the restroom (I was at work) I don't think having additional red balls is going to be that much of a difference. So for those on the fence about getting these....don't be! Its well worth the splurge.

Absolutely beautiful!!! This powder truly works with all skin tones. From the super fair to dark-skinned beauties.

I'm really glad to hear it's worked for you! I'm an NC44 so just a touch lighter than you and this made me feel even better about buying them!

Interesting! I also got mine this morning and I also only had 2 red balls! At first I was upset, but after applying them I agree with you I really don't think it will matter. It just imparts a very subtle warmth. I would have to grab a ball and rub it on my face to get any noticeable color on my skin (LOL).

But what you're saying about the difference between this one and Dore now has me wondering if I also "need" Dore. Dore was what I was going to get until I heard d'Etoile was coming out so I decided to try this one. I'm happy with warmth but brightening is also good

Yes!!! I was so nervous about Dore and D'Etoile being one in the same. At least with Dore you can take your time making that purchase because its permanent. I think my Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders are going to be very jealous with a second Guerlain Meteorites addition to the family.lol

Yay!!! Go get 'em girl. Glad I was able to help in the decision making. It was tough for me as I didn't see anyone my skin tone rocking this powder but I've had great results with the shade #4 Dore from the perm line so I figured to go ahead and throw caution to the wind. Happy that I did. Just be sure to order from Sephora. I didn't have one busted bead. They all came intact.

Yes fortunately I don't have to rush to get Dore, but I'm definitely going to keep it on my list and probably get it at some point. Do you have the Hourglass Diffused Light? That is on my list too. Was just curious how it compares. Just reassure your ambient lighting powders that just because you're welcoming a new addition to the family it doesn't mean you'll love them any less LOL

 

[laurennnxox]

Absolutely beautiful!!! This powder truly works with all skin tones. From the super fair to dark-skinned beauties.

Thanks, both of you!!

And yes, I love how this product can be used by all ladies with different skin tones. It's really wonderful. It's so hard keeping myself from splurging on more Guerlain products-- they're all so lovely! It's still hard for me to part with that amount of money, sometimes, but I know I'm getting quality when I order Guerlain. So far they seem to be very reliable in that respect.

*Oprah voice* I FINALLY HAVE BALLS!!!!!!

Seriously, I bought the compact years ago but these holiday balls are my first. So, so happy!

On another note, what are you wearing on your lips in that photo? It's so soft and pretty looking. I've been on the hunt for a shade like that.
