I swatched them lightly side by side ( and I'm a bit darker than you I believe) so they may look different on me then it does on you. Ballerina is slightly pinker than Indiscretion, but I personally think they're close enough to not NEED both on my skin.
Maybe I won't rush to get the Laura Geller then...Thx. That may change though, lol.

Yes! I'm so happy I changed my mind about this one and bought it. First of all, it looks quite different in my home lighting than the store lighting. Even in the pan at home it looks apricoty duochromey. It is much more visible on my face than my hand swatch and looks more pinky peachy duochromey on my face. It looked like a plain golden tone in my hand swatch and looked almost ashy. Not true on the face! Plus I've been using the Mac 159 to apply. I thought I would need a denser brush for it to show up but I don't. I don't know what I was thinking when I originally skipped. I know highlighters are not well suited to hand swatches.


These are gorgeous! If I saw them in a store I would grab them all!


I'm so surprised that you like Ritual. When I tried it last year or the year before, it looked like dirt on my face. It had a grey tone to it that looked terrible on me. I wondered if the veining made a difference. Now that I think of it may be it would have worked for contouring. If you like it, it is worth another try. I saw it in Sephora a few days ago and wondered if the product was the same as before. Will check it out again. Thanks!

Curious about the Peach Mosaic. I bought one of those products on the LM site when they had a sale but I'm afraid I haven't used it much. Laura Mercier has some great products though.

Which Armani did you get? For a second I thought it was an eyes to kill.

I have it and it is gorgeous. It is super duper shimmery and glittery. I don't wear it much. I'm not sorry I bought it but it is not an everyday highlighter for me. More for evenings out I think. I do think $80 is a very good price. I know that it was a higher ticket item at the time of its debut. I can't imagine $80 is that much more than the original price.
Oh I'm so glad you got it and are loving it. It took me using it a few times to seemingly 'break it in' and it started
applying so nicely and looking so lovely---it may not be Heat Wave but it's a really nice highlighter.

I LOVE Ritual. It's a straight up bronzer and it bronzes/contours VERY well. I've worn it EVERYDAY since I got
it. It's dark brown on me w/o grey tones but not orange either. I paired it with Tom Ford's Softcore and OMG!!
It's so perfect and looks so stunning.

I've used Peach Mosaic swirled and applied very lightly like a finishing powder and used the lightest quadrangle
to highlight my brow and inner corners. As a finishing powder it leaves a very soft subtle veil. It can also be
used as eye shadow.

The Armani is the Eye & Brow Maestro---I love it. You can use it to fill in your brows and/or as an eye makeup
base or liner.

Yikes, almost a little scary! Lol. Subtle they are not! Maybe they're good to boost another highlighter too.
