My dusty you-know-whats are here lol Mah pearls
Tried it this afternoon with my RT powder brush over my very, very newly purchased Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint but my lighting is not so good right now. I've never smelt anything quite like it... just a hair on the side of bearable.

Thanks, whew lol It almost reminds me of Ammens baby powder. I am becoming obsessed with the idea of mixing some of these with some of Teint Dore, I gotta shake myself out of that!Yayy!!! Thankfully it does fade off !!

Yeah, pearls are a nicer word to call them. I interchange between balls and pearls.
They are stronger in scent than my other balls, but once you use them a few times, the scent dissipates some.

"these pearls feature fragrance notes of raspberry, bergamot, violet, rose, iris, and cedar." LOL
Doesnt The Jolie teint also have the Fragrance. I actually wait for the fragrance to fade off from the Lingerie de Peau too! I am okay with mild fragrance but cant really stand lingering fragrances. Thankfully the guerlain ones fade off!!
LoL Dont!! Keep it separate although I am sure the final effect will be pretty nice!!

It does fade a little over time but we surely get used to it too!!

[@]sugarberry[/@]I'm going with the "perles" (pearls, beads) because otherwise I'd be smelling dusty balls lol [@]Vineetha[/@] I'm resisting getting Dore lol I'm not sure I'm picking up those notes lol Joli Teint smells much milder to me. I just tried the sample of the Olsen's Nirvana White and the combo is a definite no-no. Going to wash my hands again. [@]Audrey C[/@] either it fades or we desensitize lol

So I got my balls yesterday and got to test it today. I think I have a decent balance of the balls. Although I wish it leaned a little more pinkier, I'm happy with what I got.
I tested it out today and it was glorious. That beautiful glowy photoshop effect.
The major downside is the amount of... or lack of balls you get. I got my permanent line meteorities before they dropped down in size so this is the first one I got after the downsize.
It looks like I'm going to have to reserve this for my most special moments, which is a real bummer cause pretties are meant to be worn.
I'm really disappointed at the small amount. *cries*

Seriously though - it didn't fade nearly fast enough for my liking. It just lingered. And this scent is different than my terracotta sheer bronzing powder. THAT smells like my mother. THIS smells equally bad but is only more tolerable because it doesn't smell like my mother (hehe). Of course my mother's not to blame - I just associate her with the stench of heavily perfumed cosmetics. Love ma balls but whew they stink!

LolLOL :lol: I can't believe I forgot to mention that. When my Sephora box arrived yesterday I took it to my room. After playing with my balls I could not get the scent off my bed.Seriously though - it didn't fade nearly fast enough for my liking. It just lingered.
