Thanks Naomi! I was so sick all last week and seeing those white balls just made my day!
I hope you're feeling better, Meddy.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on your new balls.

[COLOR=0000FF]Okay----all the way from Singapore---my white balls arrived yesterday.  We almost missed getting them.  We were out and came home to an empty mailbox.  Hubs checked for mail again[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]two hours later and the mail carrier left a note--"Sorry I missed you....you can retrieve your package, blah, blah, blah"  Hubs was annoyed because we were home and a car in the driveway indicated as much.  He chased the little mail truck down and low & behold the small box with my white balls.  I was so afraid they would be crushed but like my holiday balls and my Dore balls they are perfect!!!    [/COLOR] :yahoo:    [COLOR=0000FF] Meet my balls!!!![/COLOR]
:pompom: Glad they arrived perfectly. They sure look pretty meddy!

Gorgeous aren't they? Use a light hand, especially if you're a deeper complexion because it can get pretty intense and stark! On me, the powder literally lights up my face! I love it, but I don't use it all the time.

I like them too, but will they make me look ghostly? lol
I noticed they have a pressed version too!
The pressed is more subtle than the balls.

I think it won't make you look ghostly, but you'll definitely see it if you build it up, and it doesn't take much for it to show up. The effect on me is like using a lighter foundation on certain parts of my face. I can't really describe it. It's not like a traditional highlighter because the Meteorites are always "sheer," but the effect is very pronounced on me. Like I mentioned earlier, it literally makes me glow.

I will say the shimmer on this is a bit heavier than the permanent ones (but it does not have giant sparkly bits), so if you want something subtle, you probably won't like it. BUT...if you're a collector, it's a nice option to have!

Thank you, that was very helpful!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Why couldn't it wait until Thursday?!?!?!
Buddy! I think t will be fine. Its on pre oder now, so I am thinking the cash wont go out of your account until it ships which has an approx date of 28th!!! So if you place your order you will be able to use that 9% cash back too!!

Totally kicking myself for buying a new pea coat the other day. lol
As if I'll ever even get to wear it seeing how we don't get winter here. LOL!

The first day or two I wore it I loved it; it has a great finish and it's the first Guerlain foundation I've found that's yellow enough for me.

By the third, my skin was both drying out and at the same time ramping up oil production (likely to combat the dehydration that I presume was caused by the alcohol - third ingredient). Then, I broke out on my chin (2-3 pimples) and on my nose as well.

It wasn't good. Alcohol and my facial skin just don't match. Too bad, because I absolutely loved the finish.
Oh, boy.
I will keep an eye out for adverse effects.
I have been using a dot of it with my moisturizer and I'm not sure how I feel about it just yet.

It's all pre-order Naomi, so order as early as you can on Thursday. I was ordering so fast that I don't even recall the exact projected availability date---I do think it's October.
