Guerlain Summer 2008 – Illumination galore!

May 30, 2008 Paris B 13 Comments

I am truly sorry if you have been coming by and getting some server error. I assure you its getting looked into so there should be no future problems.

To compensate, here’s some Guerlain Summer 2008 eye candy. Guerlain is giving skin a pearlescent sheen by having pearl illuminating products.

I like my Meteorites. They make a nice highlighter even if it doesn’t look like much initially. So, I’m quite keen to check out the Meteorites Illuminating Perfecting pressed powder even if I’ve read some reviews that say the users did not quite like it.

I read that the Meteorite Perles light-diffusing perfecting primer is nice too, but I’m not too much of a primer person. That said, I’ll check it out at the counter and report when I see it.

Lastly, KissKiss pearl glosses. I don’t like lip glosses in general but I always make an exception for Guerlain’s Kiss Kiss lipgloss. They are so lovely and not sticky at all! I wonder how these will fare.

I do have one comment though. Those bumps and balls everywhere give me the goosebumps! 😛 Reminds me of that Chanel palette with the sequinned surface from Spring 2007. That one gave me the goosebumps too!

Will be back with a report when I see and test them! Have a good weekend all!

    All these reviews on Guerlain is making my wallet potentially itch actually–muaha!
    I just came back from a facial and was asked to buy some dodgy “gold” facial. I turned it down, thinking how much makeup I could buy with RM400! Oh yeah!

    Reeka: Could you email me with the problem you are having reading this?

    Jojoba: 🙂 To each their own! I want to see it just to see if it looks as pretty in real life.

    Monstro: Eeks! But nice skin is the best foundation of all!

    Geekchic: Lol… A house is worth saving up for 🙂

    Hey Paris, do you think the Mystic suites oily skin? It’s suppose to give glow to skin but would it makes oily skin looks worst? I am so tempted to get one..

      I’ve read conflicting views. Some girls with oily skin say that Mythic Meteorites make them look oily. Some don’t. I don’t have oily skin and the glow isn’t perceptible because it isn’t shimmery. I can’t help you otherwise I’m afraid. You could try reading my other reviews here (loose balls) and here (illuminating pressed powder) and see if it helps. Or you can try the Mattifying pressed powder available at counters now (2011)

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! ✌🏻
