I'm still waiting on my UPS guy, and it's 8:02pm EST here!! He has never been this late. It says on the vehicle for delivery... Wonder if he's not going to make it tonight. I'd be very upset since I payed for overnight shipping and it already got delayed an extra day.

I am sitting here, stewing in my annoyance. A little dramatic, but I shall never be paying for overnight shipping again. UPS customer service guy was also rude to me on the phone. They said usually stop delivering by 7pm, but may be later. I said, "Okay, thank you, I am a student who doesn't stay up late, and am wondering what is the absolute latest time I should expect my package tonight." Assuming I'd get some silly guess, like 11pm. He goes, "Latest delivery is by end of day." What? I felt like I was speaking with a computer who wasn't understanding my question...whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?

i would have called them at 7.59pm like...."umm its almost 8 where are my balls?!!!"I'm so jealous that all of you have your balls already! I'm still waiting for Nordies to get some balls... then I'll grab 'em!
My balls get delivered tomorrow but i might be on my way out of town so i wont be able to caress them sunday night

I just got it!!!!! Finally! And he literally knocks and I heard a thud and my package was strewn on the ground. Hope everything is intact.Nah, somethings not right. Track it again & call CS again if it still says out for delivery. They stop delivery at 7 from what I've been told...unless its the holidays

Perfectly entact! Well, very minimal dust / crushed balls. I only had 2 red balls! But about 8 or so pink ones. (More under top layer) I only swatched on my arm, because I don't have any makeup on right now. Will try it on tomorrow! Beautiful packaging, though I wish it was slightly more shimmery. In my initial swatch it wasn't as satin-y as Clair 02. Perhaps if i Mix the balls around I will have better results. The balls that look "matte" in this photo, when pulled out individually and swatched on my arm, they seemed a little "dry", as in, it was harder to see anything on my skin as if I were to rub a ball (

Almost like when poor quality blush has that kind of hard top layer when you first buy it. Maybe after a few uses they will soften up a little. Just my first impression!

They're yummy looking! I know that many folks give them a little shake before application to loosen a bit of the powder for use. I bet they'll get even better/easier to use! YAY!!!

Great tip, thank you! I shall try that tomorrow.They're yummy looking! I know that many folks give them a little shake before application to loosen a bit of the powder for use. I bet they'll get even better/easier to use! YAY!!!
They are wonderful, (and boy, do I love that smell!) and now I'm tempted to try one of the more warmer balls from the perm line... and maybe I can locate older LE shimmery ones... The addiction is in full swing!
