This Splurge vs. Steal has got me a tad bit excited. I couldn't wait to come home and type this up! The contenders: Guerlain Meteorites and Victoria’s Secret Luminous Face Powder Gems. Now I have used Guerlain a few times and have stretched out my usage because of the cost. So when Vicky Secret decided to launch and carry a more extensive make-up offering, in-store, I was beyond ecstatic to find this little gem.
Guerlain Meteorites could be considered by some to be the makeup equivalent of one of the seven wonders of the world. Their packaging is to die for and so is the product. They are powdered little pearls of joy that work to give you a perfect complexion by brightening, lightening and evening your skin tone. Tucked into a box inspired by Marie Antoinette's jewelry box, these little powder pearls are the secret to a perfect complexion. And hold the presses, because the beauty of the Meteorites that Guerlain released with their 2009 holiday collection is love at first sight. But as great as it is and as fabulous as it makes my skin look, at $53 a pop we’re definitely splurging, not to mention I am not a huge fan of the scent ( a tad bit strong).
But then I came across Victoria’s Secret Luminous Face Powder Gems from the new Heidi Klum Exotic Jewels collection. A light shined upon me and the angels began to sing, okay maybe not all that happened. These are also illuminating powder pearls that brighten your skin tone and give you that inner glow. The pearls are a mix of plum, pink and gold – which I use as a blush, highlighter, all over shimmer and brow highlighter it all depends. And at $22, this my fabulous girlfriends is a STEAL! I picked up the Vicky Secret Powder Gems last week and have been wearing it almost everyday. I am in love with this product – it gives my cheeks a rosy glow and the packaging is gorgeous (you know how I go nuts over cute packaging). It’s a sturdy cardboard and the pattern is, as the collection so eloquently states, very exotic.
Both of these products are simply amazing – but the Victoria’s Secret Face Powder Gems is a steal that helps you achieve the same look! So why not go ahead and save!!! My VOTE Vicky Secret!
