Guerlain Meteorites by Emilio Pucci (swatch/review)

I had always been curious to try the Guerlain Metorities, but always talked myself out of it because of the hefty $59 price tag.  I had a gift card and honestly had no clue what to buy, so I started reading the reviews on Sephora for the Meteorites and decided it was time to see what was so great about these!   Turns out, I LOVE IT!!  I have combination skin (mild dryness on cheeks and break outs happen mostly on my chin).  I almost didn't do this review because I don't even know how to explain what the Meteorites do for my skin.  It's not sparkly AT ALL.  There are some sparkles in it, but they disappear on the skin.   I do my full makeup routine and then I use the Guerlain Meteorite brush and apply this all over my face.  It just makes your skin look like someone else's skin.  Does that even make sense?  I actually stood in the bathroom looking at my face up close after applying this because my skin looked so awesome, but I wasn't sure how it happened.  I couldn't see the Meteorites on my skin, it was almost like the changed happened from the inside out.  I guess the point I want to make is that if you have been on the fence about these, give them a try.  I really think the blue pearls in this Emilio Pucci Edition is what evens out the skintone so well.  Here is what the Sephore website says:


What it is:
An illuminating powder that delivers pure radiance.

What it does:
These must-have multi-colored little pearls are adopting their new summer wardrobe encased in Pucci-adorned packaging. Météorites Perles D’azur is also enriched with a corrective blue pearl to create a flawless complexion. Formulated like the classic Météorites Perles, the Perles d’Azur beautifully adapts to the demands of the sun by combining six colors that even out and correct every skintone.
