[MENTION=99537]Bwachte[/MENTION] that lipstick looks beautiful on you!

My meteorites were originally supposed to be delivered next Monday (silly Nordstrom), but I just checked tracking and it shows FedEx left them at my door today! I cannot wait to get home and check them out. Hoping they aren't too beat up.

Well, I got my balls. I'm returning them tomorrow. There were hardly any in the tin...probably because so many were crushed. Oh well, money saved.

I posted this in the Balls thread....I got mine this morning in great shape. 5 blue balls! There was a bit of powder in the bottom but nothing unusual. I was afraid it was going to be too sparkly for me but it's not once you apply it to the face. Its a beautiful subtle golden shimmy. Its actual quite pretty.

I'm going to go tr on the red ls now :)

My bronzer came this morning! I didn't have time to really test it out before getting to work, but this is going to be so lovely on fair-skinned ladies. It looks beautiful! I'm going to hate messing up the embossment. It's scented as Guerlain bronzers are, but to me it's not that strong. The shimmer is visible in the powder, but I do not yet know about when applied. I will say, the packaging is meh and feels cheap to me, but the blue is pretty. It's raining, so lighting will be crappy, but I will post swatches later with comparisons to MAC Firebrush, MAC Golden Rinse, TF Afternooner bronzer, and NARS Laguna Tiare (apparently it's subtly different than regular Laguna?).

Thanks! I need to know how you like it on & if it's orangey at all.

Here are the pics! I warn you the swatches may look orange-ish because they're heavy, but the products do not appear orange on my face. If anything, they're slightly red (except Laguna). I haven't put the Guerlain on my face yet. From swatching, it's most similar to Firebrush, but instead of more chunky glitter, it has this gorgeous, fine shimmer. It will see use.

Aw, I should have waited for this to launch at Saks for the beauty event but I jumped the gun and got it elsewhere lol
Then ended up abandoning my Saks cart in favour of Nordies
I dislike skipping beauty bags lol
