The powder balls from Guerlain

In 1987, in my opinion, the discovery of the century was launched. That was me, (just kidding!), but it was also the powder balls from Guerlain. You understand that this powder was actually made especially for me, and that's why I am also the biggest fan. Hence, today I pay tribute to this favorite.

What is it? A loose powder in the form of colored pearls, which they also call meteorites. The pearls have those sweet colors like mint green, soft pink, peach, and lilac. They didn't choose those colors for nothing, because everything has a function. For example, those green balls reduce redness in the skin, pink gives a healthy blush, and white neutralizes. All those colors together create a beautiful glow. Guerlain, also known as the architect of light, ensures that you are always the radiant center of attention.

Okay, that was my ode to the balls themselves, but I'm not done yet. The box is at least as beautiful. Actually, every six months, with each new collection, the Météorites Perles de Poudre are wrapped in a new tin. And those tins are keepsakes. The lids are always beautifully illustrated or adorned with a pretty print. And they also look very nice on your vanity.

Last point. The scent. It is truly inseparably linked to Guerlain. Since the first time I held the meteorites in my hands, I felt, excuse the cliché, truly in the universe. It smells like violets. Fresh and cheerful. You naturally want to carry all of that with you all day long. And that's what I do.
