As per the Guerlain website, ‘This summer, to celebrate Météorites 30 years anniversary, Guerlain creates the new Birthday Candle Pearls harmony that warms up the complexion and brings radiance to all skin tones. The harmony combines gold pearls to fight dullness, pink pearls to reveal glow, and champagne and white pearls to reflect the light. All in a birthday case inspired by the first 1987 Météorites case. They have a delicate violet fragrance, inimitable and totally addictive.'

The ingredients include the Stardust technology (which sounds so interesting), diamond powder encapsulated in microspheres, to create soft-focus perfecting halo. This powder combines gold pearls to fight dullness, pink pearls to reveal glow, and champagne and white pearls to reflect the light.

I have been loving this powder so much, I have the original one's in the same shade as this limited edition which is Clair. This powder blends right into the skin and gives the perfect natural glow. The best way, as per my experience to use them is to swirl the powder brush into these once or twice, tap the excess into the tin and apply it all over the face. For some time, you will not notice any difference but once it blends into the skin, it gives the most natural glow from within effect. One more tip I would like to share is the ‘Less is more' rule, as a matter of fact the glow is going to be visible once the powder gets blended into the skin, so instead of putting more product on the brush, you should wait for the results as they won't be visible instantly after dabbing it on.

The swatch above does not actually reflect what the beautiful effect it really has. I love this powder and using this since last few years, for me, this is like buying a backup but I love collecting these tins and pearls, that is my excuse for buying these beauties. These are suitable for all skin types and all skin tones.

The packaging of this tin is so beautiful, the pink color makes it so cute, the only downside is the sponge included in the tin. I think the packaging and the sponge were not able to help the pearls survive int he tin as I had few broken pearls inside. Otherwise, in the fancy jar, a nice sponge is must have.

Blushes are always my weakness and when they are pink with a gorgeous packaging, i can not resist. This is Guerlain Spring 2017 limited edition blush. The packaging and the product inside, both looked marvelous online and i placed an order with hesitance. And i do want to mention the name of this blush again “Happy Glow” and i love these both words.

This is a powder blush with highlighter that imparts radiance to the complexion with a blend of pearly pigments. The blush has a sheer coverage and the finish is matte and imparts radiance to the area. That means it is safe to use during the work days. I have to consider this fact before buying any makeup that the products should be office friendly, off-course few exceptions i do not mind.

The pressed pearls of powder in this blush does Colour Correction and the stardust technology for a soft-focus perfecting halo gives Radiance which is tailored to every skintone. This blush does have a delicate violet fragrance which is not very heavy. I have used this blush with light hand and with heavy hand, and it totally looks natural and glowy on my medium pale skintone.
