I was sold on this simply by the name “Champagne Truffles.” The box and the blue python pouch are to die for. The box says it all with adorable glossy product photos and fun-to-read description and how-to instructions. (Click the photo for larger viewing to read.)
I found this at Saks, but I believe it has arrived at Nordstrom and Neimans too. The kit is $58 USD which is pricey considering the double decker cards were $38 when she first released these. Various counters at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales or Saks often have GWPs to make the purchase a bit more worthwhile by spending a certain amount. Inspite of the high price tag, I still love these cards because I think they look cute, especially since you can just stick it in your purse and have everything in one compact.
Pretty expensive and the pans on the bottom deck look like they are about to fall off.
that python case is really nice!! maybe can be used as a cell phone/iphone/blackberry case too??
Heeheehee. This is SO CUTE! Truffle is a whole lot prettier swatched than I expected it to be!
Maybe I am really cheap (maybe not :)) but the pricing on this one seems insane.
Lina,
Can you explain the shimmer powder? I like mine to be very subtle–will this one work for me?
Lyn – the pans are either magnetized or glued in for her double decker cards. I've never had any of them fall out before!
Freshelle – the python case is too small for a cell phone, I'll try and take a photo in the next couple days. It would be awesome if it were big enough though!
Anonymous – you're not cheap, lol. I agree it's insane pricing. I have to admit I felt a bit guilty spending so much on it.
Hi Cindy! Oh, where do I start with her shimmer powders? LOL – so she's released several shimmer powders in the past. Trish is known for reformulating products and colors numerous times. The Champagne shimmer powder is finely milled and subtle. It's softer than Bobbi Brown SBs or MAC MSFs so I think it will definitely work.
I personally would try to find it in the full size though – the compact is really tiny. You get a better buy with the full size pan. Unfortunately you'll need a Trish page to put it on or the compact.
HTH some!
Ooh I bought the blue Python set but now I want this mini one too – I do find individual Trish prices extremely high so these little sets are good value for me!
