Guerlain Holiday 2010 Meteorites - Perles D'Or & Poudre D'Or

Today I got the loose version of the holiday meteorites and thought I'd share pics.  I shared my thoughts about meteorites in the post HERE earlier this week.

Guerlain Metorites Voyage Poudre d'Or (Holiday 2010)

This is so pretty.  A pure luxury purchase.  I love meteorites.  You don't *think* you need them or that they really make a difference, but they do.  First, they just make me feel pampered and pretty... just owning them, lol.  Every time I open them I get a whiff of the candied violets and it makes me instantly happy (Yes, I AM a ball sniffer).  What they do depends on which ones you get but overall (unless you get some of the older LE sparkly ones or some of the bright all pink ones) what they do is give you a glow and sort of create a soft focus effect on your face.  The balls and the voyage are my faves.  I don't care for the pressed ones that have a beaded surface.  The compact on those is impractical and they're much more shimmery than the other formulations.

Different colors counteract certain issues your complexion may have.  Green for red splotches, Purple for sallow skin, etc.  I really would recommend the Mythic voyage meteorites to anyone that is fair to light skinned.  Over the years, I've gone through 5 of the refills.  The compacts are expensive but you can score them on ebay for fairly cheap (that's how I got my original one) and the refills cost around $45-$50.
