Guerlain Meteorites Perles Loose Pearls Illuminating Powder Teint Rose – Love the new packaging dahling!

June 9, 2010 Paris B 66 Comments

I didn’t shop much while in Singapore. Well, “not much” being relative but while at Changi airport, to take my mind off certain other things I was eyeing, I splurged on the new Guerlain Meteorites Perles in Teint Rose .

New Guerlain Meteorites Rose Teint

All I needed to know at the counter was “Is this the new packaging?” and once the SA said yes, I was off like a shot to the counter. At S$71 its not cheap but it was a tiny bit cheaper than the retail price of RM185 in Malaysia.

I opened it yesterday and to my surprise (and delight) the new tub is metal! Not metal covered cardboard (as they did before) but a nice light thin embossed metal case. None of that baroque looking gold edged cardboard thankyewverymuch! This is a sleek embossed brushed metal tin with plastic tub insert.

The cover is now literally like that of a flat tin cover instead of the high cardboard cap. I don’t know why but I have visions of Milo every time I open the cover 😛

Guerlain Meteorites Rose Teint

Teint Rose is pretty much Mythic renamed. It all looks the same – little balls of lilac, gold, rose and blue tones to be swirled together to give you that luminous glow. The same luminous glow that Mythic gives me.

Except in prettier sleeker more modern packaging.

Love!

I somehow thought that the Teint Rose pearls looked a little lighter compared to my old Mythic Meteorites. Placed side by side, I got the same feeling too. The colour of the Mythic balls seemed a little deeper than Rose Teint.

Guerlain Meteorites Perles: Mythic vs Teint Rose

But when I placed the balls side by side, there is no discernible difference. My guess is that the Mythic Meteorites I own are already quite old so perhaps the sheen that covers the balls are now lost. Or perhaps there is a difference in the formula which makes it look that way. After all, the new Meteorites are supposed to have an improved formula.

On the skin, there is no difference. Or perhaps there is. Teint Rose seems to diffuse the light better so faking flawless glowy skin is even easier than before!

If you already have the previous Meteorites perles, you don’t have to get this one in the same colours – for me, Mythic and Teint Rose are one and the same. But if you don’t already own Meteorites and want to cut your teeth on these little magical powder balls, I think you’ll love the new packaging too! 😀

My love for the Guerlain Meteorites know no bounds 🙂 Here are some previous posts on some other ones I own.

    So bright, so beayootiful, my preciousssss…

    Hahaha!! I’m loving the new improved packaging!! I’m glad to read that the quality is still the same (if not better)! More often than not cosmetic companies take this chance to either reduce the quantity or change the formulation thats more cost effective (read: make the product crap).

    I must resist getting this… at least for now!! I’m dead broke!! >.<

    The new packaging certainly is tempting! But I’ll take forever to finish up even the tiny travel sized meteorites I got, so lemmings begone! 😛

      Ah you can still get that online so no worries! 🙂 I never quite liked the old packaging mostly because it was cardboard and we all know how horrid cardboard can be after a while. 🙂

    Bonjour Paris.
    You finally bought it, well done 😀 *gonging and drumming*
    I love the packaging but I already have one LE (the one with purple butterfly)…plus, this is not my HG loose powder…I’ll give it a pass until it comes out with something better, or LE…
    Btw, just a random request…since this website is called “mywomenstuff”…would you be reviewing your Dior bag anytime soon? 😀 I am curious!

      Bonjour Lee! Just started using the bag – will try to share soon but I believe the one I have is no longer available in stores. Its from a past collection and since it was marked down so much when I got it, I think its probably quite quite old!

    Hi, I had one long time ago almost like 6yrs. But i never seem to be able to finish it. What about yours? Any chance of finishing the old box? I just wondering whether i should invest in the new one when i can never finish the old one 🙂

    • ParisB says

      June 9, 2010 at 10:00 am

      Nope, no chances of finishing the old box. I might crush up some of the old balls because I like it used as a loose powder 🙂

    OOOOO…. So pretty! Oh yeah, am I right in understanding that these little balls of heaven for you are similar to MAC’s MSFs in the way that they’re a little shimmery, can be used as highlighter and all over the face as well??

    Reply
    • ParisB says

      June 9, 2010 at 10:15 am

      In a manner of speaking, yes except they aren’t very shimmery so I wouldn’t call it a highlighter per se – for me, they illuminate the skin and diffuse the light so its easy to fake flawless skin. MSF tend to be too shimmery for this purpose and to be used all over (for me that is) because if its too shimmery you risk the disco ball look or just looking oily.

      Performance wise, new or old is more or less the same. So it comes down to packaging and whether you can get really good discounts at strawberrynet! 😉

      I’ve posted about how I use it and what to expect in a previous post. Basically, I just use a fluffy brush, swipe over the balls or the whole pan (if its the pressed version) and dust all over my face. To me, you can’t really see any outstanding difference (some might say there is no difference) but it does make a diff to how my skin looks because it looks flawless and glowy in person and just looks better overall. I’ve also used it in most of my FOTD 🙂

    Yes, Meteorites is a must have makeup item for me! I’m been using it for the past 4 years and still loving it to bits ! Is kinda hard for me to get it at my local department stores as Guerlain has closed down their counters here few years ago. So sad…

      Aww… at least you have one! It would appear that Guerlain is now solely found in KL at very selected stores.

      That might have been nice too. Proper gold metal edges embossed with the colorful swirls of colour. But I think gold tends to discolour after a while – that might be the reason they didn’t use gold. Or perhaps its just to fit in with the new image of Guerlain – their new palettes are all using this deep grey metal

    This is fab! I love the new packaging. I always thought the cardboard boxes were too flimsy for something so expensive. Finally the packaging is up to par! I don’t own a meteorites….maybe it’s time huh???

    hey, thanks for the quick reply. i guess i overlooked what you used in those pictures. hmm, i guess i want something more severe. lol. i won’t be trying more balls then. i recently tried a guerlain item and regretted again. some brands aren’t just friends. but you know what? i amy dying to see the new palettes in person. have you read about those? i saw the pictures and i was like, OMG!!! i want those!

      I can’t afford the Meteorites Voyage but I do like the Pressed Illuminating powder which isn’t quite the same thing but is more affordable. The effect of the pressed illuminating powder is a little different though.

        Thank you! I was reading up the reviews and some people were saying the Pressed Illuminating powder works ‘better’ than the balls, so I am just not sure which one to get! BTW, subscribed to your blog and love reading it everyday!! 🙂

          Thank you Natalie! 🙂 the pressed powder that I’ve heard works better is the one that’s multicoloured hexagon shapes. If its the one with a bumpy surface then I personally feel the balls work better 😉
