Not gonna lie, I had started to talk myself out of them, and was all "I'll just call them and ask if they think they would do okay shipping all the way to Florida..." and then the next thing I knew I was giving the Guerlain girl my CC number and address to ship them out. Still not entirely sure how that happened.
J/K, it happened because I heard all y'all in my head telling me to GO FOR IT!
Yay for Nordies in Alaska! So glad you found them, definitely worth the hunt! Can't wait to hear what you think of themI love you girls so hard.The Nordy's in Anchorage, Alaska is sending them to me (all the way to Florida... I have well-traveled makeup). (And they have two or three left if anyone else is still on the hunt.)
Well, that's a "slight" exaggeration, I think I "only" have 35 or 36, including the blush balls. haven't counted them in a while. The only ones I'm missing are the special packaging ones (which are basically just Teint Rose) and apparently there was a very old limited edition one in the big tin that I'd not even heard of.
Yay, congrats! Glad you've joined the CG club!! I don't blame you about not wanting to disturb the beauty of it. I got mine probably over a month ago and I've used it only once lol used my softest brush and barely touched it, but I just had to know how it would look. It's obviously stunning! I got this mostly for it's beautiful design. Bc goodness knows I have enough HL's to where I would never need to use this one.Well thanks to Meddy, as well as the positive accolades from everyone else, I was pushed to the edge and finally purchased the Meteorites Cruel Gardenia! I didn't know much about Guerlain when it came out and over the last year or so it's been mentioned in various comments/posts. When I googled a picture it was :shock: and then. I thought it was impossible to get and totally gave up. I had no idea it could still be purchased on eBay, and now I'm on...
I've just barely touched it because I hate to ruin it's beauty, but I will wear it. Eventually.

Yay, enjoy!! It seems the balls from Nord were in pretty good shape. I got mine in store and I seriously had NO dust at the bottom of mine. Hope you love them!! ️My Rainbow Balls came today!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!!!!!My Rainbow Balls came today!!!!!!!!!!!!Anchorage Nordies came through in a big way. There's a bit of powder in the bottom, but from what I can tell, no more than what other people experience. And none of the balls seem to be crushed or anything. I'm thoroughly impressed that they made it what, like 3000 miles without any issue.
Did you return them Monsy?????
That's awful!
Are you still able to use them or are you feeling too annoyed to even bother?
I still use them but I am mostly picking up powder off the puff first since there is so much on it
