Was it just me that used to lust after Guerlain's famous luminous pearls? When they came out in high school I begged my mom for them for weeks but she was just not having it. Truth be told I'm sure I cracked her eventually and it was worth it.

Guerlain’s Météorites Perles may be the best-kept manufacturing secret ever – with no imitators ever coming close to replicating the power of these pearls. In 2010, their power is enhanced through new shades and a new formulation specifically adapted to the needs of different skin tones: a rosy complexion tends to show redness, while a beige complexion turns grey with the onset of fatigue and a golden complexion becomes yellow and dull.
