For Summer 2012, Guerlain once again hooked up with fashion designer Emilio Pucci. I say once again, because there was a Guerlain x Pucci collaboration back in 2007<\/a>. I’d already owned the Meteorites in Mythic<\/a> back then and naively thought I would need more than one tub. Ahhh the naivete of youth \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

So when I got wind of this Summer’s Guerlain x Pucci collection, I made sure I wouldn’t miss out. And I didn’t! \ud83d\ude00 Ladies, I present you the Guerlain x Pucci Meteorites in Perles D’Azur<\/strong>. Some of you have been asking me about this and whether you should be getting it for your first Meteorites (yes, I feel terribly proud for enabling everyone into getting at least 1 tub of Guerlain Meteorites in their life \ud83d\ude09 ) so lets take a look. Settle back, because there are comparisons going on and I get all sorts of verbose about my favourite “can’t live without it” makeup item \ud83d\ude1b\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are familiar with the fashion of Emilio Pucci<\/a>, you will recognise the design on the cover of the Meteorites tin, and on the inside of the box. The whole Terra Azzurra collection bears this very pretty design on the inside of the box.<\/p>\n

Pucci designs are easily identified by the geometric and colourful printed fabrics, and this has been translated into the packaging and colours of the Terra Azzurra collection. Azzurra, meaning Azure or blue in Italian, the blue colour is a running theme, complemented by pink. The blue is inspired by the blue of the Mediterranean sea and dammit! I want to see it for myself! I will, some day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Unlike other Meteorites tins (Teint Rose<\/a> and Perles de Nuit<\/a>), the cover is plain, with no embossing, and bears a Pucci pattern. The body of the tin case is a deep blue as you see in the first picture. It makes a very pretty display on your dresser \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

This is what you get inside. Not much different from other Meteorites pearles, except that the colours of the balls are different. There are 5 different colours of pearls in slightly different textures, to perform different functions:-<\/p>\n
