This post will cover a few product reviews since I've been behind on posthing these.
Guerlain Meteorites Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer
this primer is suppose to subdue discoloration, smooth out your complexion, and leave your skin glowy and makeup ready. $66 for 1oz.
The primier is not silicone based, goes on like a serum (slightly sticky but spreads easily), gives you a nice glow, and helps with discoloration. It has a very light and pleasant scent. This primer works best with the meteorites powder. Thumbs up on this primer, I like it very much.
bare face before primer...
After primer...
a very nice glow no?
The only downside to this primer? the hefty price tag, which keeps me on the fence about repurchasing.
Guerlain Meteorites Powder
This is the travel friendly meteorites powder in Mythic, Its $50 for 7g.
A very versatile powder, you can use it alone or as a setting powder. It gives you a very nice glowy semi matte finish and leaves your skin smooth. It evens out discoloration and acts as a illuminator. The scent is very similar to the primer reviewed above. If you're looking into trying something from Guerlain, do consider this. See pics after the bb cream review to see the finish.
Banila Co. Let me bebe BB Cream
This bb cream contains SPF37, I'm uncertain about the price since it was a gift. Comes in a toothpaste tube but has a pump top.
The bb cream is on the peach/pink side. The texture is creamy/thick making it slightly hard to blend. It provides excellent coverage and acts as a nice concealer for dark areas under the eye because of its pinky tones. I would rate this BB cream above the L'egere one posted here.
The look today...
gotta love the meteorites finish!
what I have on my face
- Guerlain Meteorites primer
- Banila Co. BB cream
- Canmake eye palette & blush

I can't believe you own so many copic markes, they're incredibly expensive in Germany! Like one pen 8 euro!
Pretty!! The BB cream looks very good on you. How come the pretty primer didn't work on me!? Hmph, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteAh now you have me lemming the primer! I tried their gold Divinora primer before but that didn't do enough for me to keep using it.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the Nacre des Mers blue Meteorites before, but that didn't make me glow all that much. Maybe Mythic works better :)
