If you do Naomi, be sure to inspect your balls. They should NOT look like T's. You want to see each color representation---happy balls. Not crushed messy balls!

LOL!

I need to see them in person, so unfortunately I have to order them (nowhere I can go to see it in stores.) Luckily Sephora has a great return policy so I might as well give them a shot! But I'm so pale I don't know if they'll work for me. Which is a shame because the packaging is soooo beautiful!!

REGARDING THE SMASHED PERLES IN METEORITES

When I got Pucci Meteorites (the more recent one) I had two of them smashed in the container and at first I was horrified. It looked like they were all ruined.

However, after only about a week or so, it all calmed down and I was able to get the powder out and they all looked fine. Mine looked worse than Ts

I still use them and they are fine. It happened in the mail. The puff came loose and tilted and they smashed around in there in the mail so the Press sample
has nothing to do with it- they were most likely fine when they sent them.

I wanted them to be the pretty reddish rosy pinky balls with some highlighting gold. I didn't want a total gold bronze-ish shade. Ugghh, I do not know what to do.

I hear you. I have enough bronze highlighters - I don't need another.

I'm hoping to check them out in store tomorrow (assuming they've arrived). I'm starting to lean more towards getting a medium in the regular pearls. I want to be able to wear these all over as a finishing powder.

Take a deep breath my child and pray for wholesome, color-appropriate balls. I think if they're intact and not one big powdery mess you'll be able to work with them
to achieve the color that you're lusting for. The only other thing to do is make an in-store purchase and carefully examine your balls before you buy them.

Me too. :( It looks nice and all but I wanted the red balls to show up.

I guess I'll order the eye shadow duos online and check for the meteorites in person in order to avoid crushed balls. As for the perfumed shimmer powder, I'll have to call the counters to see if they'll have it (they better because I really want that shimmer powder.).

I remember that and mentioned it here on the thread. That was a rather traumatic ball experience for you, but it turned out well in the end. I'm waiting with bated breath
now for the arrival of some balls that I can live with----and be proud of.

I agree. Let me know what you think when you spy them out in person. I would like something with some rose/pink/peach.
