  [COLOR=0000FF] My balls should arrive tomorrow if UPS isn't pulling my chain--I'm expecting my Chanel holiday order on Thursday but got a notice for delivery tomorrow & I'm pretty[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   sure it's MY BALLS[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]:yahoo: [/COLOR]   [COLOR=0000FF] I LOVE Steve Buscemi [/COLOR]:heart: [COLOR=0000FF]He's such a good actor[/COLOR]    [COLOR=0000FF]I've never even heard of the flash 1-day shipping----w/VIBR I never even looked into alternative shipping because that seemed fast enough for me.[/COLOR]   :santa: :xmas:   [COLOR=0000FF]Early Christmas---so glad you're getting NEW BALLS.[/COLOR]    [COLOR=0000FF]That's great.  I ordered mine Tuesday and got the shipping notice Tuesday too---that other scenario just didn't make sense.[/COLOR]    [COLOR=0000FF]We've just been having a BALL over here!  I hate saving things for special occasions---everyday is special, and you shouldn't have to juggle your balls like that.  [/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   Use them anytime you wish.[/COLOR]   [COLOR=0000FF]Peed[/COLOR]   [COLOR=0000FF]The swatches didn't appear to contain much ball-sparkle.  Hope to be able to give you a first-hand account soon.[/COLOR]   [COLOR=0000FF] That's to bad ICL.  That happened with many of the single blushes, nevertheless folks seem to be pretty happy with them. [/COLOR]   [COLOR=0000FF]TF blushes are insane!  The new fall blush duos are still available.[/COLOR]
:yaay: Can't wait to see your balls, Meddy! :haha:

  :haha:  [COLOR=0000FF]Based on the photos that I've seen of the holiday balls, Dore #4 are much darker---more brown, no[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]     copper/gold like the holiday balls.  Mine should arrive soon---I'll be better able to make a [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]comparison.[/COLOR]
Oh, I'd be interested in that, too :-D

Question for those who have lots of experience with their balls -

any more specific brush recommendations? I know the hakuhodo j104 was mentioned. I've also heard some people use the Mac 138 brush. Seeing as I'm leaning toward either Dore #4 or the holiday balls, I'm wondering if it would be better to use a less dense brush so as not to overdo? Any thoughts/experiences with brushes for the balls?

On Bloomies website, the description says the balls "have been specially designed to enhance the complexion after nightfall under the lights of evening."

I mean, rules schmules of course, but perhaps these wouldn't be ideal for every day then? Curious what some of you think when your balls arrive today.

I've never bought a Guerlain brush, but they've always felt very rough and scratchy in store.

The only brush that works on Meteorites!
-12.11.13

QUICK TAKE: natural hair, goat hair

All of my other brushes were too soft. This has a slight coarseness that picks up the powder and gently agitates the balls to get a nice mix of colours. I've washed it once and it shed kind of a lot, though, so I will stick to wiping it down with a diluted rubbing alcohol once a month or so.

Question: What size is the Voyage refill? I'm thinking of getting it and putting it in an empty compact, but it doesn't seem to be available in stores near me so I wouldn't be able to go up and see it in person beforehand and wanted to make sure I had the right size compact for it.

Thats a great question Naomi! I was going to do the same thing. And, I would like to know from those that have it, what they think of it.
