Not everything is about Japan. Today is about Guerlain

I guess once a beauty editor, always a beauty editor.
I'm not a big fan of powder foundations since my skin is too dry and usually, these kinds of products just make it worse. In the summer, I find it hard to wear liquid foundations (so so hot!), but sometimes there is no way around it (too many parties, too much work, too much stress, etc..) that you just need to hide your real face behind makeup. Recently, I came across Guerlain Parure Compact Foundation with Crystal Pearls and I just looove it! So I thought I'd be a nice girl and share my new discovery with you. This little baby doesn't dry my skin - it's extremely light and covers perfectly. Apparently, they use "crystal pearls to replace some of the talc that goes into the composition of powder foundations". Well, I have no idea what this crystal pearl thing is, but it definitely works for me. Oh, and it has a SPF 20. What else could you ask for? By the way, I hope none of you are running around with no SPF...

Dear Guerlain, I really love your packaging but all these shiny mirrors just make it impossible for an amateur like me to take a pretty picture. I hope you'll forgive me.

thank you, thank you! i've been looking for a non-oily makeup with SPF that had slightly more coverage than tinted moisturizer. surprisingly few and far between, so i'll have to try this out during my next sephora run.
