Review : GUERLAIN Meteorites



"The secret for a perfect complexion"


A true avant-garde magician, Guerlain first captured the pearls of shooting stars in 1987
in order to fill the skin with diaphanous light.




I can't believe that I have not reviewed this wonderful item as I have owned it for a couple of months! Guilty.


According to GUERLAIN Paris Official website, the shades are available in three to enhance all complexions
and thus seduce as many women as possible:

  • Mythic-01, celestial, luminous and inventive, these small multi-coloured pastel beads – the essence of loose powder – tumble over each other to release a powdery and satiny veil that is infinitely light.

  • Pink Fresh-02, a stylish and delicious merging of pink and slightly apricot shades for an instant healthy glow.

  • Beige Chic-03, a timelessly elegant harmony of soft beige to even out the complexion in absolute transparency.

WOW!

I have
Mythic, which consists of small multi-coloured pastel beads. Each colour has a specific use. The pink gives a healthy complexion, the green plays down redness, the mauve attracts light, the white brightens the complexion, the gold and mother-of-pear bring radiance and highlights.

It is a great product that makes my face look better. I apply this as a finishing powder to set my makeup. It provides me with an absolutely polished look; my skin, but so much more better with radiance. My face glows and looks healthy. I also note that it acts as a mattifier for me; it keeps my oils at bay and my make up stays freshly longer during the day.

This is a MUST-HAVE product ever! For $53 USD (at Sephora), it will last you a couple of years with everyday usage. So grab it, ladies :-)

Review : Carley's Clear & Smooth Skin Treatment (on eBay)





What are These : acneic skin treatment products

Where to Buy : ACNE Results on eBay






I say :


I used Vichy Normaderm for a year hoping to get my skin cleared, but it did not work. So I gave a try to Carley's Clear & Smooth Skin Treatment set of four(4) products ; acne treatment, day-time moisturizer, butter moisturizer, natural soaps.

I placed an order on eBay on March 27, 2006 and received the products in a mail on April 5, 2006. At that time, I had acne prone skin, especially my forehead. I was very excited to try those things due to great reviews on eBay.

When I started the Carley's Clear & Smooth Skin Treatment products for about a month, my skin went nuts!
My face looked pimply horrible. New breakouts kept appearing everyday...huge ones!

So I gave up, I went to see a dermatologist. She was shocked when she saw my face since I used to have little pimples on my forehead, but at that time they were all over my face ... HUGE cystic acnes! She told me that I was severely allergic to these products...a very bad one. So I decided to permanently stop using Carley's products.

I returned everything to the seller and they refunded exactly what I paid them originally. The customer service was(is) great as they provided good instructions and advice. They promptly answered every email I sent from start to finish.

I had found that 50% of Carley's Clear & Smooth Skin Treatment users got dramatic results from these products, and there were also another 50% who, I believe, faced a nightmare like myself. The chance is 50:50. So it's your choice.

Now, my skin is completely clear thanks to La Roche Posay products and mineral makeup.
