I got to take a quick peek at the meteorites, the pressed compact and the Baby Glow yesterday. Despite the small package, I really do like the balls. (I was desperately trying not to laugh when the SA was showing them too me. Particularly when she said "I'm sure these will go quickly-
everyone loves our little balls."
) Anyway, the collection should be out here in Canada within the next week or so, depending on when everyone can get their training for the new products.
I also received some VERY GOOD NEWS during my visit. Apparently, the Rouge Automatique line is not being discontinued after all. This counter (at The Bay) just had its fixtures redone to accommodate both the RAs and the Kiss Kiss lipsticks, so as far as she's concerned, they're not going anywhere. So for Canadians, the line will be out of Shoppers Drug Mart/ Pharmaprix/ Murale, but The Bay will continue to carry it. (It looks like Sephora will continue to carry a few shades, but nothing more.) I'm not sure what that means in the US, but it seems that the line will become retailer-specific, at least for the time being. Interestingly, the display I saw had testers of both the "limited edition" Rouge Automatiques from last Spring, so I'm wondering if those have actually been added to the permanent collection.
