So far for me, the pink and red seem more satiny than the orange, but I love them all equallyI'm not even going anywhere but I'm going to throw on the orange and see how it wears.

The YSL babydoll kiss & blush are not out in Australia yet. So I thought I would ring around the ysl counters to find out. The first counter I rang, the lady said 'next year' and I was like ' um are you sure, that sounds like a long time to wait'. I then had to explain to her and honestly, she had no clue what I was talking about. The next ysl counter at another store that I rang also played a guessing game with me and said two months. She then asked how I knew about them. I mean duh, there is the internet lady (I didn't say that, I just wish I did haha).
Does anyone know when these will arrive in Australia?

Well my curosity got the best of me and I went to Nordies to check out Kiss & Blush and ended up getting #1 the fuschia one. I was also going to get #5 but I've bought 2 coral lipsticks already and I didn't want to get another plus I can always get that one later since they are perm. I really like the formula and of course the packaging is very unique.

Hey everyone! Has anyone tried/tested the new Souffle D'Eclat powder? If so, how is it? (texture/is it drying, etc)

Sorry, but no.

I have. The key word to describe this powder is "eclat" as it is one of those "illuminating" or "light reflecting" powders. The powder is very smooth, silky and fine. It's not exactly shimmery, but it does reflect the light. The first day I tried it over sunscreen and foundation, and it didn't work out at all. I had to powder three times before I even had finished my makeup, and 30 minutes later, the powder clumped a bit, emphasized the fine lines in my faces and all in all made my skin look like creased parchment (an effect I often get with this type of powder). The following day I dropped the sunscreen in favour of a thin moisturizer under foundation, but the end result wasn't much better. The third day I wore it under a very thin layer of foundation alone, and then it worked better. It didn't clump, it didn't emphasize any lines, but it did lend my face a very beautiful, sheer sceen. If you're familiar with this type of powder and like it then this is very good, but if you want a setting powder or a powder to matt the makeup a bit, you better look elsewhere (I ended up with Shiseido's loose powder which is very close to the now gone YSL Semi-Loose powder). I better say that the foundation I tried it over was Le Teint Touche Eclat.
I tried color #1 and #2. #1 is rather pink. I am very pale (and not pink) so it looked weird on me. #2 is a golden beige with a bit of a gold shimmer in it. Far too dark for me, but probably very beautiful on darker skin.
Hope this helps.

Well, I can understand why they made Souffle d'Eclat like this because if you use an ordinary setting powder over Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation you'll ruin most of the beautiful dewy look it gives. It would be great with a powder that set the makeup, matted the t-zone, worked as a base for powder blushers and eyeshadows but otherwise didn't change the look of the foundation. Souffle Eclat just didn't work that way for me. Maybe it's because I have too many fine lines in my face or maybe it's because I need to much sunscreen and moisturizer underneath it, but for me this powder could never be a daily work horse. If it came in a color that corresponded with my skin tone I might buy it for big nights out, but as it is, I would have to powder neck and shoulders (and arms, if they were visible) too, and that's simply too much trouble.

Yes, I have and I far prefer the meteorites perles. I don't know how to explain it, but the meteorites gives me a basically - if not exactly matt complexion, then at least a semi matt with just a hint of shimmer where my face cathes the light. Souffle d'Eclat gives an overall light reflecting surface. Also the meteorites powder doesn't emphasize the lines in my face - on the contrary, it blurs them a bit.
I wish I could be more enthusiastic about Souffle d'Eclat, but it isn't a good product for me. Maybe there's a "trick" to make it work that I haven't found yet...

I need a pep talk about keeping the Volupte Shine lipstick in Rose Asarine. I want to but it's obviously kind of pricey. I'm thinking UD's Catfight is similar, but I'm not sure if the formula is comparable. My only issue with VS is that it stains my lips so that even in the morning I wake up with some color on my lips. It bleeds a little, too.
