Guerlain - Météorites Compact Powder


The Guerlain Météorites compact powder is the compact version of the popular Météorites powder pearls. It is available in the same colors as the powder peals and is intended to give the same finish. 10gr cost about 55 Euros in the compact version as compared to 25gr powder pearls that you get for the same price. (25gr of powder pearls referring to the new edition of the product - the old container (2013) contained 30gr).



The product is packaged in a silver plastic container with a flower engraving on the top. It comes with a mirror but without any sort of brush. Depending on your preference you can apply it with a powder brush or the Météorites powder brush that was specifically designed for it.

I purchased this in color 03 medium. The idea of the different colored powder pearls from the original product is transmitted to the compact in a way that the powder looks like pressed pearls resulting in a powder that has different shades.


In terms of finish I do not feel any difference to the original Météorites powder pearls which I reviewed a while back.
Well, why did I actually purchase this, if the compact costs more than the powder pearls? Simply because of the comfortably of the compact format and because I was curious to see if there is any diffierence.

Summing up:

Pros:

·                     Comfortable packaging
·                     Natural Finish 

Cons:
·                     Costs more than powder pearls which have the same finish
·                     Exactly the same as powder pearls, hence both products are not needed
