I so wish they came out with a brush for this collection! The handle would have been so pretty if it mimicked the snowflake design that is on the top of the meteorites!

OMG if they made a snowflake brush I would get like 10! I only have the rainbow meteorites that came out this summer and they give such a gorgeous glow to the skin.

I just use the same brush I use to set my foundation with powder which is typically a Sephora #30 or anything big and fluffy!

The holiday collection of meteorites will be my first journey into the world of balls! Any recommendations on the best tool for application? I so wish they came out with a brush for this collection! The handle would have been so pretty if it mimicked the snowflake design that is on the top of the meteorites! :love:
It might look nice but I've read that Guerlain's meteorites brush is scratchy. I wanted some ultra-fluffy fancy powder puffs, myself lol I used my fluffy RT powder brush with my pearls recently and was pleased with the result. Hope you get more feedback!

Both? I think it is a really high pressure job and they need to meet their selling quotas for better salary, but also have more work hours, and have the best shifts. I wouldn't want their jobs, I  think only the best SA have the perks and the remaining have to scratch their way out of the barrel.  I did a quick search a little while ago on beauty SA in Dept store and they all tell the same story if they do not sell enough, they are fired.
Very true. Even if they miss goal only one day managers come to scream at them

Guerlain brushes are awful ... scratchy, loosing their hair, and the varnish on their handle peel really fast. I use a bronzer brush with my meteorite (like MAC 167 brush)

I'm with you, for the look alone I'd hoard that brush! The packaging is on point this year! So far, Guerlain wins in that department in comparison to other holiday collections! Thanks for the suggestion! :heart: I'm going to go look up that Sephora brush :)

I heard the same in regards to their brushes, bummer. The crazy makeup lady in me would still buy that brush if it was available (just for collection purposes, lol) :hug: Thank you for the recommendation hun! I have that RT powder brush so I will put it to use in conjunction with the meteorites!

I have heard that many times about their brushes! I wonder why they don't offer better quality?! I have been eyeing the MAC 167 for a while! Will look into it! Thank you for the suggestion ;)

Some of these SAs are cringeworthy!!

I wonder what their commission is, if they are so aggressive....

The few that are sort of nice that I try to talk to a little start telling me their sob stories. I'm starting to wonder if they are genuine or they are trying to play on my sympathy hoping I'll buy more stuff so they make more commission. (Am I just too cynical??)

Its so worth it. The only issue is that sometimes I get in a hurry to order & forget to click through. Its super easy.

It really is odd that the marketed brush isn't nice.

I wonder if u could order online at nordies and just use the pick up from store option??? that way u can have the best of both worlds. It's funny when I go to the counters and mention an upcoming collection n not even the SA knows what im sayin as if I just spit out Chinese MAFF on they azz

Yep, they never seem to know what's going on with collections. And, it doesn't matter what company or what store ...drives me nuts. I LOVE online ordering
