Thank you for posting. Swatches are always helpfull.PICTURE OVERLOAD! They've arrrrrrriived!!! I got the Blush balls and the 02 compact. This opinion is only my first impression, as I haven't done my makeup yet. I shall be using the blush and the compact in my routine today.
Blush: The packaging makes the little blush perles look so TINY! It's hard to see in the photo. Mine came with zero "ball dust", even though it was shipped upside down! The sponge was absolutely saturated in what I assuming would have been the dust at the bottom of my container. I tapped the sponge on my hand to a giant cloud of glitter and pink. Oh no! It's Glittery!? However, I got out a dense angled blush brush and applied it to my inner forearm. No noticeable sparkles indoors. However scrutinizing my arm in direct sunlight, I saw tiny flecks of sparkle. I guess this depends on your tolerance for glitter/shimmer. The color took a lot of swirling in the container and swipes on my arm to become how it is on my arm. I'm going to play around with brushes and obviously over foundation and see how it fares there. It is glowy and beautiful though, in my opinion.
Compact: Good news for you non-sparkle ladies! The 02 compact is no more shimmery than my perm. 02 clair perles. It was hard to get a swatch of the powder, but it looks as nice and glowy as the perles. The only "shimmer" shades in the compact are what would be shimmery in ball form, too. The white and off-white shades. I can't wait to try these out! I kind of want to see the Medium ones in person for maybe added warmth. The 02 blends perfectly into my fair skin without looking ashy or powdery.
PS: All of these photos were taking facing a window using natural lighting.
HTH!!!

I tried with Hakuhodo Yachiyo and it showed up pretty well!! Not a big brush but a tapered yet slightly fluffy one and it picked up the color well!!!
I am trying to capture the finish of the medium compact with the cam to no avail. well hope this helps!!! (HEAVY SWATCH)

NM online said the collection was available in store at my local counter. I was headed in that direction anyway, so decided to pop in to check out the 03 medium compact. They looked at me like I had three heads and said they didn't even get their shipment.... hboy:
