(I sprayed some Shalimar on before writing this review!)

This product brings back memories of when I first saw these pea-sized pearl balls of color in the container quite a few years ago and wondering just how they were used in beauty. So what does GUERLAIN’s Météorites Powder for Face ($56/1.05oz @ sephora.com) do beside just sit there and look beautiful? Each of the colored balls inside the tin is made to enhance, brighten, correct etc, they call it “pearls with a purpose.” Like the one I tried was Teint Dore 03 or Gold Tint from the Dazzling Radiance Summer 2010 Collection and this one “corrects with mauve and blue to eliminate yellowness amongst a golden tone.” And this is just one three new color correcting tins.

So if you are looking for a product to make your skin glow, this might be one to consider. And the violet scent … mmm …

The idea also comes as a Pressed Powder. Have you tried either? Do tell in the comments!
