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<\/strong> Rose <\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

\"Guerlain<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Except in prettier sleeker more modern packaging.<\/p>\n

Love!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Guerlain Meteorites Perles: Mythic vs Teint Rose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
