Reviews coming soon! 🙂  For those eager, Sephora actually has the new Meteorites Perles and the Terracotta Bronzer up (but no sign of the rest yet!).  I plan to purchase the Pressed Meteorites powder and other Rouge Automatique lipstick (I have one of the two) when they become available online.

I agree. When I looked at the photo, I thought “This is Guerlain? This looks cheap and nasty.” Compare it to the packaging of the Rue de Passy or Place Vendome shadow palettes or the loose kohl powder liners and this really doesn’t look nearly as luxurious.

oh… my…. god… I was really looking forward to seeing this but the price of these items, you would really expect better packaging. it looks like cheap plastic straight out of the 80s!! soooo tacky 🙁 and I was really thinking about getting that shimmer atomizer thing. this is NOT what I was expecting!

The bronzer looks a lot more yellow than I expected it to be in this picture. Definitely deed to wait for swatches before I order. I agree with everyone who thinks the packaging looks cheep. It looks just like plastic-y drugstore makeup, not very Guerlain-like at all.

I’ll have to chime in with you ladies – I adore the packaging! thanks for the Sephora tip, Christine!

On another note (I’m sure you won’t remember this), but Christine – this holiday collection marks my first year of being gaga for Guerlain – a Huge thank you to You!♥ My Perles du Dragon is needing some meteorites friends. 😉

I’m with you two! I saw the Meteorites with the black lacquer & hot pink flower in the middle and loved it! Think they’re just trying to convey a colorful party atmosphere.

So much for Guerlain’s typically elegant packaging. Yes they might be trying to attract younger consumers, but dumbing down their product isn’t the way to do it IMO. So disappointed.

I’m also one of the few who like the packaging. I think it looks unique and yes it’s out there for Guerlain standards but who knows why? Every year they put their heads together to come up with different marketing strategies and maybe this year they just wanted to be different from the norm.
