Guerlain Terra Azzurra Collection by Emilio Pucci

Don’t get too excited, this isn’t a new Guerlain Terra Azzurra Collection by Emilio Pucci. This is from the Summer 2012 collection. I’m only 3 years too late on this. But I guess better later than never!  I bought the Terra Azzurra Bronzing Powder & Blush, and the Meteorites Perles d’Azur last December as a last hurrah before my yearlong No-Buy. These items, especially the Meteorites, have been on my wish list for, well, almost 3 years.

The Terra Azzurra Collection features the distinctive Pucci print, in tones of blues and greens, here’s a promotional image:
