Guerlain Meteorites CC Glow Colour Correcting Highlighter Review

Do you love Guerlain Meteorites as much as I do?

Well, it's not that type that I can't live without, but it's the type of product that makes you smile and happy whenever you see it on the dresser and gives you the natural high whenever it touches your face.

That must be the "luxe" feel that you're looking for on days you feel like nothing is turning out right!  

This product, the Guerlain Meteorites CC Glow Colour Correcting Highlighter is part of the Spring 2018 collection from the brand.  Remember the recent post I wrote on the Guerlain Meteorites Heart Shape Palette?  Well, it comes as part of a COLLECTION.

This Colour Correcting Highlighter comes with sisters, there are 3 shades in total --- Green, Pink and Apricot.  And I went for the latter because I like to brighten up key areas of my face with just a twist from this cute pen!

Météorites CC Glow products from Guerlain are colour correctors that target and correct skin tone imperfections while offering a radiant and rejuvenating effect.

Based on the principle of colorimetry – two complementary colours cancel each other out when they are layered – Guerlain has developed three complexion correctors capable of effectively neutralising minor skin tone flaws: dark circles, dark spots or redness.

Each colour has a specific correcting property: green helps to neutralise redness, pink refreshes dull complexions, while apricot helps to erase areas of shadow and minor dark spots and offset the colour blue to counter dark circles.

Guerlain Météorites Heart Shape Palette Review

Every time you mention the brand Guerlain, the next name that would come next to the brand will always be --- Meteorites.

As much as they are so nice to look at, it is such a tedious task to tote it around because of the bulky packaging PLUS the balls may just scatter inside your bag making it a bag mess!  So my Guerlain Meteorites stay on top of my dresser table for a year now!  

Thankfully, after so many years, under the Spring 2018 collection, Guerlain finally came up with a "pressed" version of my favorite luminizer!  And to make it even cuter, this product is inspired by the V-shape face which our Asian Counterparts love (the Koreans).

I obviously do not have a V-shape face (it's rounder than round my friends!)  But I enjoyed using this product nevertheless.

See the Future for Peter Thomas Roth, Guerlain, Shiseido and Elizabeth Arden

For the year 2018, I get a glimpse of what's in store for brands Guerlain, Shiseido, Elizabeth Arden, adding New York-based skincare brand Peter Thomas Roth in the roster during the International Press Shopping Event at Century City Mall.

Let's start with the newest brand that recently hit our shores!



Peter Thomas Roth, is the brand I usually see on online sites like Sephora and Ulta and I'm glad to check them out in person!

Guerlain L'ART DU TRAIT Precision Felt Eyeliner Review

I have been using eyeliner (pencils, gels and liquids) more than half of my life!  I remember using a brown eyeliner pencil for the first time during my Senior college days and I felt so beautiful back then #lol

Because of my small, chinky eyes, lining my eyes will always be the way to go to create that complete and wide-awake look!  I know I don't wear as much eyeshadow as I used to 10 years ago but I definitely will keep that eyelining game strong at present and for the years to come.

That said, I've been using, and testing, both drugstore and high end eyeliner brands and today, I am featuring the one from Guerlain called Guerlain L'ART DU TRAIT Precision Felt Eyeliner in 01 Ultra Black.

Housed in a pen like most liquid liners, you get a clear print of the Logo of Guerlain in Gold on top of a black pen.  Very chic!

Guerlain Precision Felt Eyeliner Says ---

Elegant and trendy, this ultimate Precision Felt Eyeliner L'Art du Trait from Guerlain offers precise, clear and definite drawing to create a natural or graphic look.

With a single stroke, it offers a perfect application and pay-off instantly. Impressively efficient, its long felt tip assures an ultra-precise gesture that enables you to draw a thin line or an intense graphic eye look.

Its water resistant formula and no transfer texture lasts from day to night (8 hours).

Beauty Discovery with Shiseido, Guerlain and Elizabeth Arden

When invited for a "Beauty Discovery", who can say  no to that especially since I've been living and breathing "anything Beauty-Related" for the past 2 decades?  (yes friends, I've been holding and touching makeup as young as 16 years old applying makeup on classmates during school plays!

Brands Shiseido, Guerlain and Elizabeth Arden unveiled their 2017 Spring/Summer Collections in Ayala Mall's Greenbelt 5 Gallery.

Let's start with Elizabeth Arden, I have always known about the brand for their effective skincare products, I have stocked up so much on their Eight Hour Cream and little do I know the brand has so much more to offer!

The cream has its' own version called the Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist!

Guerlain Meteorites - Light Revealing Pearls Of Powder Review

Every Beauty Blogger I know probably once longed to own at least one of Guerlain's iconic Meteorites.  I knew in my heart I wanted one but knew in my heart I can't bear to use them!  So imagine the sheer delight when I got one through Sephora website and holding this for Photo-op brought me back to so much "beauty blogging" memories.

(Sorry nagdradrama, pa year-end na din!)

02 Clair looks like this, I believe there are a total of 4 shades ---

01 Blanc De Pearle

02 Clair

03 Medium

04 Dore

 You'll know it's 02 Clair if you see the "minty green balls" 

Guerlain Météorites Says ---

For the first time ever, Météorites’ Pearls incorporate Guerlain’s exclusive Stardust Technology, a spherical pigment contained within each pearl, to deliver illuminating powder pearls that minimize flaws and brighten the skin.

Each lightweight shade has a specific correcting action to deliver the ultimate in luminous skin and perfectly even complexion.

Benefits

• Paraben-free.

Guerlain is Now Available at Sephora!

My life is on a fast lane.  As much as I would love to spend time inside makeup stores like I used to "swatching" on my favorite lipstick shade  (try online swatch instead with the Sephora Virtual Artist), blush or choosing the right foundation shade for me, I can't seem to do so.  So makeup shopping is almost non-existent in my vocabulary.

I can't even try out clothes in department stores because my son would knock heavily at the door and goes in just to play with me!  And with that adorable face?  I always end up playing with him and forgot about trying out clothes.

Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Review (02N Light)

Aahh, a foundation for a review.  It's been awhile right?  This time, what makes it even more special is for the fact that I am reviewing a pricier foundation for a change!  Have I been reviewing so many drugstore foundations lately?  Well, I know you gals, you always wanted the inexpensive route but going back to my "note to self", it is okay to spend a bit more on makeup that covers your entire face (aka FOUNDATION).

The Guerlain Lingerie De Peau has earned raves and positive reviews from fellow Beauty Bloggers across the globe.  As always, I seldom just agree with them considering the fact that I'm living in a microwave oven!  *laughs*  As much as I don't like to wear foundation on a daily basis, this is one makeup product that I really depend on during special occasions or when I know I need to look at least half decent that I originally am!

Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Says ---

Guerlain’s Lingerie de Peau Natural Perfection Foundation SPF 20 enhances the complexion for a perfect, long-lasting, and natural-looking result on all skintones. This foundation contains SPF 20 and its fresh, light texture glides onto the contours of the face like a second skin to enhance your natural beauty all day long. It's formulated with Guerlain Technology and Bio-Fusion micro-mesh, a combination of contouring and smoothing stretch fibers that are infused with natural silk and linen fibers so that they're in perfect affinity with the skin. Hydrating agents provide softness and comfort throughout the day.

I Wonder: Will You Splurge on Lipsticks?

Good Monday morning AMW Friends!
I have a quick question on top of my head that I would like to hear your thoughts!  I recently got a Guerlain Lipstick from an event I attended and it was actually sitting on my table dresser for quite sometime before I decided to use it (for the sake of sharing my thoughts).  It pains me when I started applying it on my lips because I want to keep it forever!

A bit of background about me, don't get me wrong, I don't mind splurging on foundation, eyeliners, brow products, etc...but I am "okay" with inexpensive lipsticks as long as they don't dry out my lips!  I actually have all the "mid-range" to "pricey" lippies inside my makeup traincase and leave the inexpensive ones behind for me to use!  Low maintenance itech!  :P

Before this goes straight to my traincase, I've decided to try this out and see what the fuss is all about.

Priced locally at Php2,500.00

Silver bullet packaging 

Quite heavy as compared to other lipsticks I own.

AMW Reports: Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noir Event

Guerlain --- upon mentioning this name, I immediately thought of the famous Guerlain Meteorites!
But after attending an event called La Petite Robe Noir (Little Black Dress), that explains why all of us wore black that day, I learned Guerlain is more than Meteorites!  Guerlain has something more to offer, something glamorous and fascinating ---

Embodied in their newest scent called La Petite Robe Noire Couture.

I Wonder: "Too Pretty To Use?"

Happy Saturday AMW Friends!
Today, I will out for almost a whole day and I wish I can make it without feeling nauseous or tired!  Wish me luck! 

Before I leave home, here's a thought that has been bugging me for months!  *laughs*  I am the type of consumer who wouldn't mind using pretty looking cosmetics, I don't get attached to them and I'm one practical person who would always say: "What's the point of buying and not using?"  

Today, I am eating my words!  When dear blogger friend Hedley sent me a gift "just because" she's sweet and she wants to brighten up my day, she gifted me Guerlain Ombre Eclat 4 Shades eyeshadow palette because it reminded her of me! 

Housed in a gorgeous, shiny, black packaging.

Judging by my nail art, the photo was taken November last year!  *hides in embarrassment*  And you guessed it right, it's still sitting pretty on my makeup storage and mind you, I do look at it once in awhile and just admire the gorgeous shades and patterns.  (I just realized I'm a freak!  lol) 

Sorry Hedley, I tried, so many times on picking the sponge applicator and mumble a silent apology for ruining such beautiful creature, but I always ended up a loser!  

Can you blame me?

So today, I WONDER:
"Have you been keeping a particular makeup just because it's too pretty to use?"  

As for me, this happened to me ONCE and it was this particular Guerlain 4 Shades Eyeshadow Palette.  The reason must be because it was a gift to me plus the super pretty and unique patterns!  Please, don't give me a sermon!!!  Promise, I will use it before the year ends!
