La Mer The Illuminating Powder Limited Edition

Did you see this? This morning, I received an e-mail from La Mer, showing me the limited-edition The Illuminating Powder ($95). It's described as a lightweight, radiant pressed powder infused with precious gemstones and shimmering pearls to highlight the skin with a healthy luminous glow.

I knew I would be stopping by Saks after work, so I decided to try to purchase it during Friends & Family. Loyd and I went straight to the La Mer counter to learn two things.

1. It sold out in a heartbeat.
2. It's very shimmery.

Now, I don't know whether to order it online. Help! Has anyone seen this gorgeous compact? Is it too sparkly?

Update 10/23: I saw a tester today at Saks at Tysons Galleria. Every store told me they had received 5-6 units, all of which sold out instantly. It's not too sparkly, and I want it. I'll be ordering from La Mer online. It does have "micro-sparkle," very much like other shimmering powders. It's not at all over the top. The compact is gorgeous - and yes, pricey.
