WORSHIP THE BALLS- A thread for Guerlain meteorites and the women who love them

[fur4elise]

I just feel the need to give a shout-out to the BALLZ y’all I mentioned in another thread that I have only worn makeup about once a week, so maybe thats part of the magic haha, but using my Medium balls just really makes me feel my best. There’s nothing like a good set of balls!

Thank you for reviving the Ballz thread! Sounds like you found some ball magic!

I can never do without them BUT they messed them up the past couple of years. smaller amount of product and they are softer more fragile so i end up with half of the crushed dust on the bottom and some balls... makes me sad compared to the old ones

Ooooh balls. I have so many decade old containers of these kicking around my make up table. I love the scent.

I've got the newest (summer) Meteorites on their way to me. I should receive them in a couple of days, will post pictures. They only seem to be avaialble through Guerlain's online store now in the UK, but I managed to find one on eBay for about 10% less, so yay me!

New Meteorites. They're nice, but it's very disappointing how little product there is in the pot. I got mine from eBay and honestly thought the seller took out a few balls, but no, I checked pictures online and this is all you get.

 

[Monsy]

YES it's been like that lately

There seem to be even fewer balls in there than the holiday Meteorites, despite them both saying 25g. They're roughly the same size balls, but definitely less in number. I might have to stop buying them.

I stopped buying them maybe a year- two years ago... I got fed up

I've collected all of the ones released so far, so I feel like I should keep buying them, but it's a lot of money for such little amount of product.

 

[Monsy]

Same with me!

I hate to hear that they’ve cut back so drastically on the amount of product! It takes a long time to go through a container, but it’s the fact that they’re still the same price and the presentation suffers too.

The container for the summer balls is very pretty though.

Soooooo, I just happened to check out Guerlain's US web-site, which only had information and never allowed orders. Well, they do allow orders now and there is a set of meteorites for sale called Electric Pearl... I haven't been paying much attention to Guerlain lately and somehow I missed these! Does anyone remember when they came out or know if they are similar to another set? They look familiar but I don't remember them.

Those were from the holiday collection from 2018. They're quite similar to last year's holiday ones, I posted some pictures in the Guerlain discussion thread, I can see if I can find them.

JerseyGirl here's the photo. Last year's one is on the left, Electric Pearls is on the right.

Ahhhh! Thank you! I agree they are very similar. Would you happen to know the name of the holiday balls from last year?
