It reacts well with my skin, doesn't burn (like the Shiseido does if you accidentally get some in your eye), doesn't give a white tint and I love the handy, portable container.<br /><br />TanjaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-24279051341871191322016-04-04T20:58:52.465-04:002016-04-04T20:58:52.465-04:00Tanja, I ordered it.

But sometimes, as the old saying goes, something's gotta give and in the case of Météorites v. Pink Sand, for me it's the finishing powder that gets the boot. I still use it, but I avoid applying it over the blush Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-79464514008552678872016-04-03T15:41:08.555-04:002016-04-03T15:41:08.555-04:00I have two questions--one is for Eileen specifical...I have two questions--one is for Eileen specifically. Regarding the Tom Ford Pink Sand, I just got mine and I love it! Such a gorgeous sheen. But, the second I dusted my Guerlain Meteorites over my face (including my cheeks) the sheen from the TF was gone. Do you find that you cannot put anything over the TF blush without it loosing its luster?<br /><br />Second question: It's been a while BookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177665756411676686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-51688646773445014682016-04-03T11:56:20.864-04:002016-04-03T11:56:20.864-04:00All, I am slow in monitoring the blog today.

I used to get so excited over new Chanel collections and lately they have been so predictable and underwhelming. Coral or pink lipsticks, blue nail polish etc. I am longing for an ingenious product again, not just an old formula in slightly different colors.

Although it is a beautiful pink, it has a lot of warmth to it because of all the gold pearl. On me, it functions as a light, translucent, pink-coral highlighter--no additional blush or highlighter needed. It is perfect all on its own.
