If you liked Gigi, you should definitely try the Rouge G lipstick in Gladys. Killer fuchsia. A little cooler than Gigi, but breathtaking

Hey Kiki honey!!!!!!

Meddy is oh so glad you're here!!!! I think 04 /Dore may be too dark for you. They were too dark for me and I'm darker than you. I think they oxidized on me--interacted w/my foundation. I can use them in the summer when I've had a bit of sun. You should definitely start with medium/03. I swirl my brush in them and apply in a downward motion (got this amazing application tip from our very own Monsy) for a soft pretty finished look to your makeup. I love the scent too. Applying them just feels so luxurious.

I almost forgot Kiki----one of my favorite Guerlain lip products is the Guerlain 'Rouge G l'Extrait' Lip Color-----it's a combination of lipstick and gloss. It is a perfect consistency, feels really nice on the lips and the pigmentation is FANTASTIC. I like the red one----- Luxure M27 and Orguiel, M69, the burgundy one is really gorgeous too.

I feel myself slipping off the cliff, and all of you are adding Crisco to the lip of the ledge!!!!

I so agree with that. If you have the oppurtunity to try out some colours don't forget about Paresse M65 and Avarice M06. They are the most universal flattering colours I have ever seen. And I still think that any woman needs Luxure just for the name.

WE would use baby oil for you Ash!!! Oh yes---you would love Guerlain 'Rouge G l'Extrait' Lip Color Orguiel, M69 because it's vampy. It would actually look
good on you, and the packaging alone is a real treat.

 

[ashievic]

I so know I am late to the party. The Spring blush pebbles, are they to die for? Yes, NM and Nordies still has them. I have never used any of the pebble products compact or the real pebbles. What brush do you use on the actual pebbles? I have TF cream foundation, TF blush foundation, every brush made by Aucoin, along with lots McEvoy and the Chanel brush with the black with the white tips blunt cut across the top.

Please us olive oil for the ledge, better for your heart!!!! I did reorder the cream shadows in the green and sand. Yes, I was in a funk during that period of time with everything with my Dad. As well as I did expect the nail polish to be Tiffany Blue. Not that the shade it is sucks, just not what I expected. I did swatch the green cream shadow and ran around and compared to Armani and YSL light green shadows. Liked the finish on this one better.

Have so just checked this out at BG, remember I pay no tax for that store. Every dollar off means more monies to spend!!!! Long time until pay day on 6/3!!! Plus Barney's debited my account twice for the same order. So I am waiting for them to give me back what they took!!! With it a long weekend this really sucks.

The blush "balls" are PINK. Really really PINK. Very very clown-face pink (worse than the Dior tie dye blush, lol)

Just plan what you want to get when the time is right---I keep a running wish list, like a good little makeup addict should!!!

Oh yes they really are, but stunning once you grow accustomed to using them. I took a teeny weeny ball, crushed it and had the prettiest pink blush ever!!!!
It was just enough!!!

So would you buy it again, if you are a super pale Pink Casper???

If Dore ends up being too dark, you can do what I do- use them as a contour or as a blush!

 

[starletta8]

I did. But it takes a super light hand with a very fluffy brush to diffuse pigment. One tub of blush balls will last forever for me.

Yes. Absolutely.

....for you and every other Météorites enthusiast because we all have multiple canisters of these things

Of course I'd buy it again, but only to look at instead of using, lol

 

[Monsy]

I took the plunge, and purchased the compact of the color pebbles for Casper's. Will be here by the end of the week. I remember when I was little taking out the colors from one container and putting them in another at the store counter. Yes, I was a bad child.

have you tried already any of the meteorites perles?

:lmao: i actually laughed out loud at the meddy comment. I'd agree with everyone else and suggest the medium shade meteorites!! I havent tried the gold primer, but I've gotten a few samples of the "meteorites" primer and really really like it. I know you weren't asking but I'm going to share some "must haves" :haha: might as well jump RIGHT in with both feet!! You'll love this brand and look stunning in their products. I see a few recommendations for l'extrait lip color in Orguiel (i can't spell to save my life) but anyway that is a YESSSS!! It's stunning. The packaging is enough to be a saftey weapon, too. So heavy. Some other notable mentions for lip colors are Gina, Gemma, and Garconne. They're all so pretty. Their bronzers are some of the best on the market IMHO. And lately i've been loving my joli teint powder duo (not really a bronzer but more of a face warming powder, i think) ompom: i hope you find some products you love, next time you stop by the counter!!
