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.

Yay! Isn't it just so lovely on? I really like mine. My only gripe is that I have so few balls compared to my past versions.

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...
It looks glittery when you swatch it, but on the face, the glitter doesn't stick, I think. Mine ended up being a soft shimmer that was only visible in bright sunlight.

I have the Guerlain Terracotta light sheer bronzing powder. It's a mosaic pressed powder and some of the shades are uber-shimmery and some are less so. When I first got it I'd swirl my brush over all of them and apply it to my face and I ended up looking like a bronzed disco ball. But then I realized it actually was possible to use a smaller brush and run it specifically over the blocks that aren't shimmery, which gave my face the bronzing effect without excess shimmer. I'm getting the idea that maybe these balls work kind of in the same way. This is Guerlain's M.O., apparently! I haven't received mine yet, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from photos I've seen it looks like the golden/bronze balls contain the most shimmer while the white, pink and red balls are less glittery? So maybe by running your brush mainly over the non-shimmery ones you can reduce that glittery effect? Or if yours doesn't have enough red/pink balls, try to exchange for one that does? Or try a less dense brush and tap it off really well so some of the glitter falls off the brush before it hits your face?

This is one of my concerns as well but I decided to take a chance and order it - let us know how things turn out!

So funny, but I re-arranged my balls so that the bronze balls were on the bottom & the red, pink, champagne & pearl ones were on top. I placed the 2 red ones right on the top of the heap
lol.gif


I got no glitter on my face at all.

The response in my head to this was so bad I'm just gonna leave it there!

Took some quick photos this morning of me in the new Opera meteorites- this was taken at 6:30 in the morning and I am impressed at
how nice they made me look. That is with a flash so it is not as good as with daylight. I have no foundation on, just the Opera meteorites

I do want to point out, however, that if there was glitter to be found, the flash would have magnified it and I can not see any there at all.
