I got Mood Light. It has enough pigment to be both a blush and a highlighter, depending on how I apply it. It's a bit pigmented for an overall powder unless I apply with a very light hand. The lighter, brighter shades- Diffused and Ethereal- are probably better for that. I quite like mine so far. It definitely seems to soften my appearance, which is what it says it should do. I don't know where they got the lavender description, though. On me it's a neutral beige-pink and if anything, it leans a little warm.
Mood is the one I bought as well. I prefer it as a blush for very pale skin like mine. I LOVE the Chantecaille les petales de rose as an all over face powder. It is just gorgeous. I am going to try the ethereal one next, as the Chantecaille is limited and I am using it everyday now. It looks great over every foundation I have!
I wanted to get the Chantecaille one, but it wasn't available here (and I hate paying the additional charges from Neiman's or Nordstrom). I've been using Bobbi Brown's Porcelain Pearl as an all over powder, which really does have a brightening effect. Think that might mean I can safely skip Ethereal. I am thinking about Diffused, though, since it looks brightening but and has a little warmth, without leaning really warm like a bronzer.
Just came home with ethereal, and it is just lovely, but I can't imagine it on darker skin. I'm quite smitten!Ahh...I feel confused as to what color(s) I will want
Ok
It's a white highlighter. Of any of the Hourglass powders, it has the least shimmer. It brightens and is meant to give a sort of moonlit glow. Here are the descriptions from Hourglass:OkWell, what color is ethereal or is it no color?
How about the lightest pink shade? That's the one I have my eyes on. I think it might work!The lightest yellow-toned shade looks dark for me
I don't know if I can pull of pink powder.
Hi Specktra ! This is my first post
I just pre-ordered one of the Les Beiges powders from the Bloor Street Holt Renfrew in Toronto. The package will be sent to me on the 6th of March. The SA referred to it as a 'cream powder'. I got the lightest shade which will hopefully work well with my N10-15 (on a tan day) skin ! She also told me they aren't only just used as a setting powder, but bronzer as well. Told me to go two colors up in the summer. There are 8 shades of the powders. Excited to see how it will compare to the new Nars and Hourglass Ambient powders !

Hi,I picked up Les Beiges, shade 20, simply beautiful ! The packaging, the brush and of course the pressed powder itself are great. Very very soft, easy to apply and wear. It's highly subtle, so choose the one for your skintone, it's like a veil of colour in fact. To me it's Peter Philip's last masterpiece. Perfect in every way.
Love Peter Philips, so sad he decided to quit.
