My confetti powder came today!!! I spent about a minute playing with the beads, smiling like a little kid (I'm such a sucker for packaging). I know this is going to make me smile every time I pull it out. That alone is worth it to me. Hopefully I'll get around to playing with the powder this weekend.

As I was leaving to go to campus to take a test.... Fedex was pulling into my neighborhood.

They won't leave at the door of my apartment... which is fine by me (don't trust my neighbors). And the office refuses to hold Fedex packages for liability reasons. I guess I won't be getting it today if it was on that truck. Shame. I really, really, dislike getting my shipments from Fedex. I much prefer UPS!

I hope your test went well and your package comes tomorrow!!!

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

Which Le prism do you have an dhow do you weara it.


So we are going to use this powder as a finishing powder? I still have a hard time wrapping my head around those. Especially if I wear a pressed powder foundation. Would Mac's beauty powders be a finishing powder?

gah are they sold out of the color confetti powder already? >_<

In love! And I'm still very impressed with Barneys shipping. It was basically overnight for free!!! And echoing what everyone's been saying, this is definitely not a highlight powder!

 

[Monsy]

My powder safely arrived! And now I have to run to work so I will have to play with it later today

 

[style-addict]

It's so pretty!! You must let us know how it translates to the skin when you get a chance to swatch it. I think I'm darker than you are but at least I'll have a frame of reference if I do happen to come across it.

Will do! I meant to use it today, but was rushed out of the house and completely forgot to! Hopefully I can put it in to use some time in the coming week!

No worries! Will look out for your swatches whenever you get a chance.

Well, I guess that kind of kills it for me, then. Based on swatches, I know that this will be too dark as a finishing powder, so I'd be essentially buying it for the packaging. I was bummed that I missed out on it at Barneys and was stalking Sephora, but now I'm just not sure.

What's your skin tone sugarberry? I can't believe that's too dark for you. When I swatched it it blended seamlessly into my skin and I'm about NC 15 in Mac terms.

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.

I once thought that same thing about a NARS powder until I stepped out in to natural daylight & bam---absolutely gorgeous. My daughter noticed it first and said,
" Mom you look radiant---I can't top staring at you."

Barney's online sold out and Sephora online has not yet gotten it. Some Barney's in-store counters might still have some. You can call and order by phone.

Sephora still hasn't gotten the collection. I'd like to get the e/s palettes from Sephora.

Did you order from Barney's? They must have had a restock.
