I won't be near a Nordie's during their sale. And wi-fi in the River runs through it area I will be at is a joke. Plus I know a super hot Russian who has family still living Moscow. So he can just fix this if I don't get it!!!!
Sounds like you're all set!!!!

you know what, that's is a very good question...
​My logical mind tells me that since the color combinations are configured to create a specific result, that Guerlain does employ some type of algorithm to achieve that
combination with every canister they produce.

Thanks Ashievic and Meddy. (game face on) I know someone said these were more cool toned, anyone think they would look off on a warm toned complexion? I'm thinking they don't show up all that much, right? Not gonna lie though, I want them based on the packaging alone lol! Anything white+gold :eyelove:

I was working at this big a$$ event (as in 1500 people) and was making blueberry muffins. The owners wanted to have at least like 15 blueberries in each muffin. I thought, is this a joke? I thought of the scene in the movie Casino....it was no joke. These idiots would randomly pick up a muffin and count how many stupid berries where in each muffin. When I was little the jelly (rubber shoes) I lived in had sparkles. Daddy was the Pres of a rubber company back then. He explained to me that exact ounces (actually pounds) of sparkle had to go into each mixing vat to make the rubber to pour into the mold. Gee, think of the quality control job for the balls!!!!! Again not enough other shades then pink, and you don't have the same product.....need to go to bed. I have officially gone off the deep end.

Get your SWAT team attire for this sale if you are going 1st day right when they open. It is vicious. Think of the pics of Walmart for the crazy super early shopping on Black Friday. But this is well dressed women in heels and claws for nails!!!!

I never go in store. I've always done my damage online during early access. I hate crazy crowds!!!

If you are referring to the blush. The packaging is really cheap. Like a hat box for Barbie as in cardboard. You can control the depth of color by layering it on. I think it would work on pretty much anyone, unless pink looks like $hyt on you. As coral/ browns looks on me.

As for the Rainbow balls, it does work on all. WOC or Caspers, and anything in-between. I purchased them because it was written someplace then aren't quite as shiny as the compact version of the regular balls.

I'm totally warm toned. I think météorites give an amazing finish-----I couldn't see it until I was outdoors,
looked in the car mirror and went wow!!! I'm not concerned about cool versus warm toned---I'm an addict. Why
would I be concerned about that.

Yes I was referring to the rainbow balls in the white and gold tin. I only just bought my first meteorites at the beginning of the year but I can feel myself getting hooked and needing them all lol. I'm still mad at myself for missing the LE Dragon perles in the black and gold tin. I feel like the regular perles (I have them in Medium) have a little sparkle to them. Are the Rainbow balls any different in that respect? Not sure how the compact looks..

I have played with the balls since I was a little girl at the store counters. Only purchased the compact recently. Yes, I went for the regular compact, since the Voyager was way more expensive. As well as being guided by a super lady Monsy who knows far more then I. I think of this like the Dior blush that goes on soft, and in 15 minutes adjusts to your skin tone. The first few times I used the compact I looked like a disco ball!!!! The one review by a Yellow based Casper stated this was a happy medium and less shine then the compact I purchased.

It's so funny how we all give each other nicknames based on our screen names. Mine is part of my name so I don't feel as weird. I would probably chuckle if you guys called me Biscuit which was my late dog's name :)
