Although I'm NW43NW45 (complexion equivalent of NC50), I have Sun Brunette and it's a straight up peachy highlight on me so I would suggest if you're ordering blind, go for the 05 powder as the Sun Brunette might not be what you're looking for depending on how light or heavy you like your bronzer.
Oh thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you!

May I ask how Terracotta JT affected your skin?
The first day or two I wore it I loved it; it has a great finish and it's the first Guerlain foundation I've found that's yellow enough for me.

By the third, my skin was both drying out and at the same time ramping up oil production (likely to combat the dehydration that I presume was caused by the alcohol - third ingredient). Then, I broke out on my chin (2-3 pimples) and on my nose as well.

It wasn't good. Alcohol and my facial skin just don't match. Too bad, because I absolutely loved the finish.

Wow. Probably our fault.

Oh well !!!!!! Can't have it all lol
Oh that's too bad. They look slightly powdery but certainly not the crushed mess that Temptalia had. I hope you're able to enjoy them just as well.

I wore my Dore 4 balls today. I noticed after I put them on my face was a little tingly. I didnt think much of it until this afternoon i was in full on itch mode. Now even after I removed them my face is red and itchy. Im thinking it might be the perfume in them. Dang it!!

GUESS WHO GOT THEIR BABIES YESTERDAY!?

The story is actually kind of adorable, too. So, I was obsessing trying to decide if I should buy them online (when they were still available) and I asked my husband what I should do since there were two upcoming sales that I could potentially take advantage of. He told me to wait it out even though I explained it was LE, then the next day they sold out! We drove out to a Sephora in the suburbs and an SA had to go to the back to find them (she had no idea what I was talking about - thought it was eyeshadow and pronounced it "Grr-LANE" lol). He felt guilty and when we were at the checkout he whipped out his card before I could pay! I'm so excited I haven't even taken them box out of the Sephora bag!
That is so sweet and awesome! Enjoy Jay!!!!

Hi Hun thank you for your thoughts I'm worried they going to get crushed on way to the uk anyhow :( I mean when you buy a product expensive product you expect it to come ship shape I have a seruios problem when I buy something and it's marked when I get it home or a thread hanging out or something if clothes Or of make up dented boxes lids etc Sticky lipglosses or u know when you buy a gloss and there a little see through bit you can see of the bottle and when you pull brush in and out it goes as the gloss has filled out that and it goes omg I can't stand it The tube needs to be filled u know no see through bits Swear I got OCD hubby says I have in all that As I'm like that with everything And I just can't get it off my mind till I take that item bk Anwayd I won't be taking it bk as my good frirnd ordered from sephora and it's at her place and it be hasle for her to send bk and if sephora did have more omg the next one maybe worse

Poor Nordies---they are so on the slow bus this year!!!

I only counted my red balls but it sounds like you got appropriate amounts. I think it's formulated that way to give the desired result on the skin.

ohboy.gif


lmao.gif


I looked at it but I just have way too much red lipstick & NP to justify more.
So do I really, but I don't have any Guerlain lipsticks yet and figure this makes the purchase of another red lippy justifiable.

I know the Rouge G's seem to be of great quality, but haven't heard much about the KissKiss ones, are they worth buying or should I hold out for the Rouge G to go up on Nordies do you think?

Okay----all the way from Singapore---my white balls arrived yesterday. We almost missed getting them. We were out and came home to an empty mailbox. Hubs checked for mail again
two hours later and the mail carrier left a note--"Sorry I missed you....you can retrieve your package, blah, blah, blah" Hubs was annoyed because we were home and a car in the driveway indicated as much. He chased the little mail truck down and low & behold the small box with my white balls. I was so afraid they would be crushed but like my holiday balls and my Dore balls they are perfect!!!

Meet my balls!!!!

I have several Rouge Gs but I haven't tried the KissKiss series. I can only imagine they would be good quality as well, and worth the splurge.
