Gah I'm deliberating whether to get this or not .... If it's an awesome highlighter yes just a powder eh . Can anyone compare it to anything finish wise ? Color wise ???

What did you say to fedex without a tracking number? I'm curious to do this too! I don't have a tracking number and I'm getting anxious for my package.

I'm curious to know as well. I know someone earlier said they're supposed to be finishing powders, similar to the Guerlain Meteorites but I'd like to know how this one works. Is it colourless... well sheer is probably the better word to use. Have any of you ladies who received it swatched it as yet?

I saw it today when I swatched it at the counter. I was very curious how it would be in comparison to the Meteorites, especially the pressed Meteorites. On me, the Givenchy was much much subtler. In direct, glaring shop light it was very obvious that the Meteorites shimmer a lot more on the skin, while the Givenchy is much more muted. It's not flat by any means, but much subtler.

It's more expensive over here than I'd thought and hoped, so I went away without getting it because I can't determine if I'd need it. It's a very lovely powder, but I've got both finishing and setting powders and don't know if I can justify the purchase...

I told them I know I have packaging coming but shipper is not available and I would like to know arrival date. they did not want to give me tracking number but with my name and address they were able to locate it and to tell me estimate arrival.

Perfect, thank you! I shall try that.

To be honest, it doesn't work on me at all. It just doesn't show. When I swatch it very heavily on my hand, there's a definite pink undertone and some sheen but I can't see any difference on my face.. I really like the packaging, so I don't regret buying it but I don't think I'll be using it.

sorry if this has been asked but is there anywhere to get the powder in the states?

 

[Monsy]

I am really surprised that it's more subtle than meteorites. Actually can anything be more subtle than them? They do have some visible shimmer but very fine but when I saw swatch of givenchy on really ree it had much stronger wither/silver to it, it didn't seem as sheer as meteorites. I can't wait to try it and compare those two

Definitely sheer!! It's not a highlighter ,far too subtle for that! If you are familiar with Le Prisme compacts, the texture is the same with a tad bit for sheen but the overall effect would still be subtle!! as a finishing powder it is subtler than the meteorites or the ambient powders!! I like Le prismes as setting/finishing powders and this would be more or less the same with a prettier design and packaging !! Hth

Hmm interesting. I would have never guessed that given the photo with a swatch on the fingertips in this thread a few pages back.

le prisme compact is AMAZING. I only tried it couple of times at sephora and i was amazed how soft and silky that powder is. I am planning to buy it.

So glad to hear that 'C'---things are starting to look up around here!!!

Wow! Okay. I have a deep skintone so I'm thinking this may not show up on me at all/make any noticeable difference. I'll hold out until I see more swatches and if it comes to Sephora, then I'll decide. Thanks.

Yeah, I didn't think it would be obvious enough to highlight but I was hoping it was just like the meteorites or the ambient powders. I've never tried Les Prismes but I'm thinking if it's more subtle than the ambient lighting powders I can pass... as gorgeous as than darn compact is.

Thanks V!

Haven't yet tried mine, but that's exactly what I would expect Anneri.

I recall the swatch to which you're referring Lauren---I think it was a heavy swatch for the camera. It would never be applied to the face that heavily.

Hopefully I can pick this one up its stunning

Mine has been delivered! I can't wait to get home and try it!
