You're getting a little personal here, but I certainly hope so.

00 Blanc De Perles I believe!!

Correct! Blanc de Perles 00 Meteorites. It is an Asia exclusive shade, but you can actually call the Guerlain boutique in France and they'll send it to you. I have a rep over there! LOL! But just buy online because the price is pretty decent.

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 (

) from Clair 02 on my arm. 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!

Gorgeous balls! I'm thrilled you got a lot of pink ones. Trust me, it makes a difference in tone overall...well, only to my crazy discernible eye. All my meteorites create a different look on my skin, but that's because I'm fair. It's still noticeable to my husband, though. So far, I push the coppery bronze balls to the bottom because I want to keep it fair in color.

I need these balls in my life!

If you really don't like the bronze tone, there's nothing wrong with tossing out a couple of the pearls. You'll still have a five year supply of them.

I can't bear to throw any balls away! LOL! They're so pretty to look at. I think given the amount of meteorites I own, I have enough for a lifetime supply!

After giving me a ray of hope, UPS updated the delivery date back to monday. Yup its officially ball less weekend

Oh, I'd have no problem with that at all. Too glittery? Gone, baby gone. You could always keep them but put them in a separate small container (pill bottle?) if the mix is too bronze on you.

You'll probably be just fine though; Christine's new swatch looks like a gorgeous pinky warm sheen.

We went to Panera for lunch early today -Yay for Broccoli Soup - went shopping for a bit, came back & I HAD BALLS IN MY GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think they were coming today.

They're SO Beautiful!!!! Even though I only got TWO red balls

I had quite a few pink one & even amount of bronze & pearl shades. Over-all it was a pretty even distribution. They are SO darn pretty to look at.

On me, its this beautiful slight glow very pale slight rose pink champagne shade.

Received mine today. Only had 3 red balls It came off super duper glittery when I swatched it :/ Not sure if I will keep this just yet...

 

[elegant-one]

Mine is not glittery at all. hmm.

These are extremely hard to photograph because they reflect the light.

I've avoided buying these for years because I was put off by the glitter when I swatched on my arm/hand. My advice is to try them on your face; you'll apply them more sheerly and the glitter doesn't translate to the skin. I am absolutely glitter phobic and I love the Medium regular pearls.
