Guerlain Terra Azzurra Summer 2012 Perles D’Azur Meteorites

May 7th, 2012 by Crystal

When I first saw images of the Guerlain Terra Azzurra Collection I was immediately drawn to the new Meteorites in the collection. These pearl powders are Guerlain’s signature and the limited edition versions are often too pretty to pass up.

While I’m not an avid collector of the Meteorites like some bloggers, I do own Teint Beige 02, a permanent color in the line-up. I love the soft-focus, glowy look that it creates and consider it to be one of my favorite face cosmetics.

Like I mentioned last weekend in this preview post, the Guerlain Summer 2012 items are absolutely exquisite; simply put they are collector’s items. Something I touched on was the beautiful detailing to the packaging, but it’s not just that which makes these pieces so splurge worthy.

Since I received my package on Thursday I’ve been anticipating the arrival of this weekend so I could play with the goodies inside! Namely the Terra Azzurra Bronzing Powder & Blush and Meteorites Perles D’azur Illuminating Powder from the Guerlain Terra Azzurra Summer 2012 Collection.

Both are painfully hefty splurges, but so pretty that I feel redeemed by the fact that they don’t disappoint from what I expected from the promotional images. After I take more pictures of the stunning packaging and such, I’ll share my thoughts with you this coming week.

Laura Mercier Oil Free Supreme Foundation is the Newest Addition to a Flawless Face

April 25th, 2012 by Crystal

I can’t tell you how picky I am when it comes to foundation. When it’s labeled a tinted moisturizers I’ll try anything, but for some reason I feel like the word “foundation” can be a warning sign: Use cautiously to prevent a heavy, mask-like complexion.

It can be a daunting task to pick the right one. Especially since I usually only reach for foundations on a bad skin day, meaning I need one with natural, medium-full coverage. The last thing I need is to accent redness or a break-out with cakey, thick makeup.
