Review: Makeup: Guerlain Meteorites

Tine asked me in a comment below what I thought about Meteorites. Well the short answer is that I love them. But do you need it? Well, it depends.

I have Guerlain Les Meteorites Powder – 01 Mythic

  • Save
or also known as the Original version. It has red, gold, purple, white and blue coloured balls in a tub. Its shimmery but not shiny. So, it adds a glow, but not shimmer. If what you are looking for is a highlighter or shimmer, then this is not for you. However, if you have been having dull skin or late nights and just want that extra pick-me-up added to your skin, then this might be the ticket. Its nothing that can be seen off the bat, but for me, it works.

What I do is swirl a fluffy powder brush over the balls and then brush over my face after foundation/loose powder. It doesn’t add any discernible colour or shimmer on the skin. However, when the light hits your skin, i find that it adds a glow that tells people you had a full 8 hours of sleep, even if you’ve been up half the night!

As I said, it depends on whether you need it as this is rather pricey at something like RM150 RM168 per tub. It will last you forever though. There is a fragrance that doesn’t bother me, but might bother some people, so if you have a counter near you, go take a sniff and test it out first to see if you like it. Its too expensive a product to buy and then regret later.

Pros: Adds a glow

Cons: Expensive, fragranced

    Thanks for the review! 😀

    I’ve always been tempted to get this, ‘cos it looks so pretty. Unfortunately, I had no idea what it does nor what you’re supposed to do with it! Well, I do now 😉

    Tine: My pleasure! Its not something that’s a must have IMO but if you have it, its nice. If you don’t have it, its not essential.

    Ahh…so that’s what they are for. They’ve always looked attractive but never knew what good they would do for me.

    Are you sure its only RM150 per tub? it retails for nzd250 (about rm600) per tub in NewZealand. >.

    Kittycat: They are cute aren’t they? 🙂

    Misspear: Actually they are RM168. I’m not sure if the price has gone up but its definitely not RM600! That’s the price of a La Mer cream 🙂 I was told that cosmetics in NZ and Australia are more expensive but I never knew it was this much more.

    Can it be used as a loose powder right after the foundation?

    d3222e: Yes it can but I think it works better as a highlighter as it does nothing for coverage

    Ah, i got this from my mom.She don’t use it anymore until today she took it back. Somehow this Guerlain Meterorites gave me a no effect look because i thought it was loose powder or something. I will try it next time RIGHT after i apply loose powder on :).

    @fionx : There is no “effect” in the true sense of the word but it gives a lovely glow.

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
