My SA called and I went viewed the collection and I didn't like the Meteorites. There were a lot of white balls and they were hard like Neicy indicated in her review. I wanted more of the colors and didn't like the hard/stiff texture of these. So I'm skipping but will keep an eye out on what the Spring collection has in it.

Went to Harrods today as they had a 10% off event. Managed to pick up the new Chantecaille Elephant Blush and also a few things from the Guerlain holiday collection, including the Meteorites, the Liu shimmer powder and the burgundy lipstick. Also wanted the eyeshadow quad but they didn't have that, only the Calligraphy palette which is really nice, but I need to convince myself that I don't need it. :) I haven't swatched the Meteorites yet, I don't even care if they're hard, I need them for my collection, lol. The eyeshadow quad was gorgeous and I the lipstick! The gold one is very pretty too, but I don't need that. I will try to pick the Voyage Powder up on eBay for a lot less, or in the after-Christmas sales. ;)

I can't wait to check the holiday collection out. I will be definitely getting an eyeshadow quad and possibly something else. We will see.

Stupid question, but I don't know a lot about the brand. I'm interested in their Meteorites, do they have a permanent one or do they just release a new version every so often?

Yes, they have 3 perm ones, they are very subtle on the skin and barely any shimmer. :)

I am so jealous of you UK peeps! You get half off Guerlain! plus your ebay is always stocked with good ones from the past. I just saw some rare ones on there, too bad they do not ship to the states!
I am happy you love the lipstick it is really really pretty!

I LOVE it! Very beautiful!
Thank you all for the links, reviews, and impressions. :D
Now I feel really doomed, because I want the Calligraphy palette, the Turandot quad, Lou-Ling lipstick AND the Perles du Dragon Meteorites.

I'm even worse, I also bought the shimmer spray and I really want the Voyage Powder (basically that's everything other than the nail polishes and the gold lipstick).

Yesterday I went to NM and bought the meteorites and the quad. Love the meteorites. I did not find them hard, but rather soft and luminous like last years holiday balls. I used the quad today, but I didnt love it. The texture and quality is fantastic, but it pulls way to orange and warm toned on me. The look temptalia did was so gorgeous I was hoping to recreate it, but it looks muddy on me.
