WORSHIP THE BALLS- A thread for Guerlain meteorites and the women who love them

[IdreamofMAC]

I got my white balls. I was soooo excited to open the box, then I died a little when I saw there were so few ball in there, and so much powder in the bottom . But then I though, we'll they are gonna last forever... so no big deal. So I rushed to my vanity and applyed with my 187. Major fail!!! All I saw was a glitter bomb. Tried it with a few more brushes in hope that it would make a difference, but nope, my face looked like a huge pearl. Why oh why? I want to hear the angels singing too . ***cryes***

I use my Bobbi Brown Powder brush that is 15 years old but still going strong.Its a lot softer than the #187 brush. I've tried quite a few brushes with my Météorites and that BB is the only one that gives a light application without looking like a glitter ball.Don't give up on those balls just yet.

I just don't know what happend. I had a lack of sleep, 25% off and bought the Medium balls. Why did I do that? Okay, I know why, because they are suppose to have more pink in them than the clair but I was convinced I didn't need more balls because one never finishes those boxes. What's next? Doré for summer?

Dore is dark for even me. I have to use it with a VERY light hand.

Did you perhaps use too much from where there was "so much powder in the bottom"??? When a brush is rolled over the balls there less chance of overdoing it, versus
dipping into a pile of powder. Don't give up yet.

it's not even holidays and we've had holiday collections for a while... now they are selling spring before holidays.

I agree, I love preview but you don't even have the time to enjoy your goodie and it's time for a new season. That said ... I'm looking forward the spring balls , they look incredible )

Are the white balls available somewhere in europe?I've never seen them before, and clearly I'm sure I can't live without them anymore

We purchased them on EBay from a seller in Singapore---why does this sound completely wrong as I type it. We didn't smuggle them

I'll find the link for you. PMing you!!!

The Bobbi Brown powder brush. Mine is over 15 years old so I'm not too familiar with the current Bobbi Brown brushes. All I know is that the Balls love this brush over any other brush I tried using.

I bought mine from a seller on eBay for very close to retail. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261601763711?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

So, I guess they were part of some Asian exclusive collection.

Yes, we all did. It was a very good find!

I believe they might have been Urbis.

The white balls were available at the main boutiques in France, but they've been replaced by the 01 balls.

It wasn't part of a collection, but it was a shade that was exclusive to the Asian countries, just like the 01 balls are permanent but exclusive to Asia. If you are interested, you can call the main boutique in France and they'll ship you the Asia exclusive items they have on hand.

I finally ordered this year's holiday pearls!

However, they'll arrive in January along with a rouge automatique in Liu (122). I hope it has at least four or five of the red pearls in the tin.

I got rid of red pearls. I only had 3 or 4

Were they bad or too pigmented? I never got to play around with the display one in the store, so I don't really know how they'll look on my face. :/ The Dragon pearls remain my favorite of all pearls. They give enough warmth, a very lovely glow, and the color mix was excellent.

Thank you so much ladies for giving me hope. I'll play around with it some more and report back. I used it straight from the container, although I tryed to use a light hand. I'll remove the powder from the container and play will all my face brushes.
