Guerlain discussion

[Medgal07]

ok, I just had to laugh at this ----> YOU & "a boat-load of makeup".... priceless

OF COURSE!!!!!

we only buy makeup in BOAT-LOADS

I know ---how twisted is that. Oh we know how to do it don't we!!!!

I'll need an extra wide lens to get a pic of this haul. I don't know what got into me lately. Today was the only day in the past 2 weeks that I haven't gotten a package. I was genuinely bummed. I had everyone in that boat---YSL, Chanel, Dior and Guerlain!

Its kind of hard to tell the depth of the powder in the pictures but...

And the container is only half full to begin with

Elegant, it seems the pigmentation is breaking down with the ingredients.. send them back and get fresh ones. they may be old. There should be minimal powder dust.. not that much.

sorry

Elegant - I have several meteorites, and none of them look like that. I am glad that they are sending you a new one!

 

[MACina]

Thanks! Is your container fuller than mine in the pics?

Thanks!

I'm happy they understood! Thanks

The beauty specialist that sent me the new one said, yeah ...this is not supposed to be a face powder

Oh man, I hope yours are ok! They should send them in bubble wrap. I got this & my BU Mac PS pink blush today, & neither was actually IN that hard paper, they were under it just against the box

Thats like no protection at all in shipping.

Here is a comparison of Clair and Teint Rose:




Both containers are only about half-full.Clair even a little less.
But it contains less amount of product.So that should be the reason.

I think the reason for half-full containers is that you shall be able to swirl your brush in it

 

[Monsy]

yes you are right macina. containers are never full all the way to the top

The Teint Rose is so beautiful. How does it look on you? Is that one discontinued?

Yes, Teint Rose is the former version of Clair.

Both make a beautiful finish....I love both versions

I love all my ballz

The new Meteorites formulation is much more fragile (the balls are easier to break lol) and powdery than the old, which is why that ^ happened. It may be better to buy in person so you can check first.

that's true!

 

[elegant-one]

If I get another powdery dud, I will take them to a Nordies & exchange them

I am glad that you're getting a new one because this one has been handled too roughly. Too many of the perles have been grinded to powder, and that shouldn't have happened already (we pay for the privilege to do so with our expensive little brushes

). I really don't think you should toss it out. The powder is perfectly fine, you just have missed the fun.

The container will normally be only a little more than half full. Normally it comes with a foamy powder puff placed on top of the perles (that also protects them).

I hope you'll end up enjoying them!

I so hope that doesn't happen!!! I got mine (Dore 04) from Nordies today and it was fine. There was a powder puff inside---gee those little balls are so cute!
I did notice that it was wrapped in paper and not any protective bubble wrap, but the box was full (my boat load of makeup), leaving little/no room for anything to move about.

I just received one of the new ones via UPS today and it was fine. What surprised me is that it wasn't wrapped like a fragile item.
Fortunately, it wasn't the powdery mess that Elegant received.

Thanks dear! Maybe I'll add these to the new container. They really are pretty.
