I thought I only cared about the balls and rouge g until the 'gloss' was actually a matte lipstick. I must try for curiosity if nothing else. The colors of the rouge g and velvet matte do look pretty similar, though.
Every brand releases lippies that look familiar-----and still we get excited about them.

I was able to get the balls for under $20 using a 10% off code, the $50 credit from the epic rewards, and Mr.Rebates!

That is awesome!!! I never get the 10% off when i play those Sephora games, not once since they started doing them, which i think was just a half assed apology for no longer extending their friends and family discount to customers. Hah. I really really wish the Guerlain stuff would go up on Nordstrom or Bloomingdales, i have a birthday thing from Bloomie's if you spend $100 you get a $25 gift note.

I also got the palette, Polish and 2 glosses and a perfume. So poor. At least I was able to use my gift card and I earned another.

Great haul! Please tell us your opinion of the liquid lipstick. (When you have a chance...) I'm trying to decide if I should hunt it down...

Thanks. I think the collection will release at other stores-----definitely Nordies, but they've been late with everything it seems. Fingers crossed that it goes to Bloomies.

Oh I agree, but there's something about buying nearly the same color from the same brand in the same release. Hopefully, they're different enough because I think I want them both. I'm curious about formula more than anything for the velvet matte.

So I picked up the voyage compact today from Nordstrom! The powder feels slightly mattifying but gave the same blurring effect similar to the yesteryear offerings! (based on trying out at the store, haven't tried mine yet) !! The texture felt similar to wulong except for the color! Will report back more once I try it on!
Does the effect versus similar powders (Nars comes to mind) justify the $$$? I don't know much about Guerlain's non-ball powders.

I havent tried it on yet except for at the counter! I would think the effect has to be close but i prefer the meteorites version a tad bit more for the blurring effect it imparts!

Value wise the $100 or so dollars is definitely for the collectors edition packaging since the refills cost around $55! I splurged bec i had kept some extra $$$ for the collection and knowing its a splurge lol ! The powder i believe wont disappoint but the price vs value would be a personal choice imo ;)

Makes sense :D I always forget about Guerlain's refillable packaging! I wish more brands did that--the wastefulness of makeup/skincare packaging is my least favorite thing about the industry.

Either way, I hope you love the powder :D

One I already have if you can believe it, Mademoiselle Guerlain.  I had some freak accident this spring/summer and spilt more than 75% of it.  I promised I would buy another if I earned one of those gift cards so I did. [/quote] I have the pink juice too! For some reason I'm afraid to put the atomizer in it and use it that way. I've just been dabbing it on. How do you like to use it?

Alright, so I haven't taken the plunge yet on buying the balls as they're quite pricey... Can you guys answer a few questions for me? I'm fair/light with yellow/olive undertones and was thinking I would use this as a setting powder (I guess to take the place of my hourglass powder), is that what it's meant for? Also, how long do you think it would last with 5x a week use? Thank you!
