I cant wait to get my order too. I hope UPS comes earlier than their usual 7pm! *prays to makeup gods*
That's probably the one dislike I hate about shipping is that UPS comes sooooo late in the evening! Our usual driver used to come at 6:30 and then sometimes just take it to the front office versus knocking so I would think we didn't have a package but nope it's at the office.... Locked up... Until tomorrow! Grrr lol

Yeah that could be it... The Vera PM were the first I ever purchased.  And I fell in LOVE with them!  They give a gorgeous sheen to the skin.  But maybe people have seen PM's as a hit or miss product.  Guess we'll know very soon if these are WINNERS!!  *crosses fingers*
Vera PMs were my first too! I only got Flatter me from this collection. Its not coming until monday though!

this will be my first time touching the pearlmattes. when it came out with vera i didnt know what to think of it so i just skipped it completely. lol i probably would have skipped again but i wanted the packaging. i hope i like it though lol
I almost skipped the Vera ones myself... I'm glad I didn't! I hope these are as nice (if not nicer) than those! If so, I will have a very hard time sticking to my "NO BUY UNTIL APRIL" wanting BU's!!

Last year, the Vera p/m were also sitting on the shelves forever. It was not until later when people started buying them. Probably because you and me were raving about them.

It's really a hit or miss product. You either love them or you hate them.

Yeah its annoying! My street is seriously like the last street on their route. Sometimes they come as late as 8:30pm

I ordered the Vera PM, Sunday Afternoon(?), when it first came out. Used it for the first time this week and well, it's pretty in the pan but, that's about it.

Well, I usually throw in a couple of spelling mistakes when I post the color stories. I'm not sure if I should feel sad or if I should laugh when people just copy the color stories w/ citing Spectra. But it sure cracks me up that so many copied and pasted the "PAIN pot" and the "TORN tote" onto their blog.

Lol, that's very sneaky.

I love my Vera pearlmatte and I adore the heart print on these but I don't like the outer packaging! I wish they had a clear lid like the blushes. I decided to skip because I need to save some moolah and lately I am REALLY noticing how long it takes me to go through face powders! I don't need to buy any more for at LEAST three years!!

You're right.... I saw them at my counters for a longgggg time too! I remember every time I saw them I wanted to get more BU's and had to STOP myself! We really did preach about those babies! I still use mine at least once a week. And I haven't hit any pan! The texture makes them last FOREVER! They're like miracle powders!

I hope there will be new p/m e/s in the near future. The find the texture incredibly smooth on the lids.

For real! I spotted both Vera pearlmattes at a CCO last summer and was tempted to get another Sunday Afternoon, but I didn't which was smart because here I am 1 year later with PLENTY left in my pan!

Sunday Afternoon was nice. I only got 1 of those. But Flower Fantasy was the SCORE for me & my skintone (NC30/35)! I have 2 BU's of that baby! I really only went back and bought SA because I loved FF so much! But at the rate they're holding up... I'll NEVER get through one!

chatterbox brain making crazy lists of doooom!
Is it sad that I immediately thought of Chatterbox lipstick when I read your post?

I think people are unsure of what they are too. Plus there weren't really any great swatches of them. I think some good swatches of half-face pearlmatte vs no pearlmatte would have really gotten people going.

I got FM TOO!  Were you sold on FM because of the Vera PM's?  Did you love them as much as Mac-Guy and me?!  I could use those things as blushes, highlighters, and all over glow!  LOVE!
Mostly sold on FM because it seems the most versatile. Pigmented enough for some color but light enough to use as a highlight as well.
