I totally agree, it's definitely wearable for me. And the more I look at the swatches, the more I think about how I could rearrange my spending and budget somehow to fit this in.

Oh wow! I'm really loving that blush!
I didn't plan on wanting it, but after seeing more pictures and swatches...how can I possibly pass on it? I love that you can tailor it to your specific needs each time you wear it (one of the reasons I'm so in love with MAC's blush ombres). Maybe Santa will let me pick up both the balls AND this new blush for Christmas? We'll have to see...

Do you like the holiday loose balls? I tried it on the back of my hands and could see the sparkles so I wasn't sure if I could use it all over my face as a normal loose powder.
So the pressed pearls or loose balls gives a more beautiful effect? The loose balls are more famous than the pressed ones from what I know.

I really think it depends what you are looking for. On me both have this nice glowy effect, but the pressed pearls have less glitter. When I tried out the balls small glitter chunks were visible on my face. I would live with them in parts of my face, but not all over. Then the SA asked me if I wanted to try the pressed pearls and they gave me the same effect sans the glitter, so I went with them.
Glitter is highly personal and I prefer the pressed version also because it travels easier (smaller packaging). If you want I could make a swatch and show you what the pressed pearls look like?
And most people have the balls, they are definitely more famous.

In stand corrected... I wore the holiday meteorites last night and they are a bit more shimmery than the regular ones. I too almost bought the pressed pearls so there would be less glitter but the packaging was really ugly plastic and I I couldn't make myself do it :-( It looks like these new ones will be Perfect!

Thanks! It's all right, you don't have to go to the trouble to swatch them. I will look at them at the counter. I like glitter as highlight over parts of my face but not all over my face. But if the glitter is very fine I can accept it.

I've literally been drooling over that blush since she released the post. I love the colour and I think it would be stunning on my dark skintone but I am REALLY trying to get my spending habits in check for Uni next year. Do you think she's right about deep throat being a dupe? ....maybe I should just eff uni and get it..heh heh.

The Spring collection is now up for grabs on the Nordstrom website. It's also up for pre-order on the Saks website. I picked up the gorgeous blush as well as the #71 Rouge G. The sleek black casing is so irresistible, even more than the usual silver packaging!

Honey&LemonGirl, did you already get the blush? I like the look of it, but I do not want it if it looks like Orgasm. So agree with you on the packaging, it's devine. The collection will be available mid of January. For Christmas I got the Bee lipstick from the Holiday collection. The colour is pure , just amazing and the little bee on it is so cute, but the packaging itself is enormous and really heavy. And the silver sparkle in it falls all over my face after a while. Sparkles on my chin, how weird is this? Wear very well and the colour is really amazing.

I WANT this! I'll have to figure out which shade will work the best for me.

thanks for the heads up H&Lgirl.. I want to order it this weekend so that it will be here for me when I return next week -- I want to use it on vacation..
meg..I am getting the light cause the second shade will def be too dark on me even for summer since I don't tan much... I am still MAC NC15-20 at my darkest for ref.... I am wondering if that was the muse's hand or face ?
