You know what's absolutely ridiculous of me? When I got my 00 balls back then, my sister had brought them back from France with her and some of the balls got crushed because they jostled around in her luggage. We're talking about like a 1/3 of the balls! I ended up putting the loose powder in a different container and using it all up, but it's always bothered me that I didn't get a full and perfect container to add to my collection. I still have quite a few balls left, but I think my ratio of matte to pearlescent balls are off because the ones that got crushed were a lot of the pearly ones.
So...I'm considering buying another one and just gifting the one I have now to my younger sister. Please, someone talk some sense into me! Just typing this out, I can hear how crazy I sound!

I'm very excited about it! My first fancy brand items!Aww that's so sweet of you to say. I've had so much fun exploring other brands, and I've found that a single brand does not meet all of my makeup needs and
expectations. I've been taking the good in several brands that I find appealing, seeking quality and not just quantity. I'm glad you'll be exploring other brands too.
You certainly have that enabling encouraging thing going on! It's a good thing I already ordered RP 820!

Her swatches seem to be real hit or miss lately due to her bright lighting. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person as well. Here are some other swatches:The way RP 820 looked on T didn't quite match her description of it, so I'm really eager to see it. It looked pretty warm toned to me.

I wish I had the courage to wear red lippies. I'm just to darn shy, but they look so fabulous on everyone! I tried once, but it must have been the wrong shade for me because my husband stared at me like I was some sort of alien. LOL!

You know, I used to hate red lipsticks and then one day I found the right red and it was pure love after that.
