WORSHIP THE BALLS- A thread for Guerlain meteorites and the women who love them

[Audrey C]

Oh that's a pretty sweet deal! The closest thing I can think of is maybe the Nordstrom rewards you get from using their card, but it doesn't seem to be as rewarding as those Shoppers points.

I really just started making use of them this year when Katred (at least I think it was her) talked up the program. I had the card for years but hadn't signed up for emails and was blissfully unaware of the promotion emails they send out.

It's really quite generous. Two $75 gifts (the cost of the EDP alone is worth more than $75 with Canadian prices) netted me $60 in Shoppers points that I could use immediately if I'd wanted. I did have a couple of thousand points already to help push me to the $60 point, but the 37,000 points provided close to a 40% payback.

Not all of the stores have Beauty Boutiques and even those who do don't all carry Guerlain, but there's one 15 minutes from me that gets both regular Guerlain and the holiday collections.

TEAM SHOPPERS!!!

How I felt when I ordered the white balls:

I just found this thread and I am impressed that in the three weeks since it started there has been a LOT of ball talk. I bought my first pearls in the Sephora sale... 02 Clair. Right now I can only bring myself to open the tin and admire them.
Occasionally, I smell them but I have yet to fondle them...

Oh they smell so good! I open mine up from time to time just to take a whiff and then put them back on my dresser. They emit such a nice scent as you swirl your brush in them too.

GAH! I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a purchase!

They're available online from our favourite Singapore source; they don't have good reviews though.

It is all about the number 5 loose powder

Oh.my...... And this beauty, where does this come from?

I believe it's this powder:

I'm wearing my holiday balls again today. My poor Ambient powder is getting dusty. lol

Funny how that happens! That's why I give myself little challenges because they force me to rotate and use my products----but sometimes my mood, trumps challenge!!

Yes, that's it!

 

[Medgal07]

I really hadn't planned on adding the white pearls to my collection, but Elegant-One and Meddy wore me down. I'm still impressed that I've managed to amass four sets without personally spending a penny.

Perles d'Etoiles - Anniversary gift
Medium perles - Shoppers points
CrazyPearls - dear old dad (Christmas)
Blanc de Perle - my aunt (birthday)

Even better, I have another $85 in Shoppers points that's earmarked for the spring blush pearls.

After that, I think I'll be good for quite a while (naturally, holiday 2015 will find a home here unless they're really glittery or cool-toned). A girl can only make regular use of so many balls at one time, after all.

That's really very nice having them gifted to you that way.

 

[NaomiH]

Yes, that's it!

It sounds nice! One of my mom's friends from back when I was a kid used to adore Chanel No5, every time I smell it it makes me think of her.

I'm back on my lipstick challenge after that stint of Garconne mania and am making myself use Rio MSF all this week. I guess I should give my balls a break and use my HG powder soon.
