I’ve just bought an Hourglass palette, will it change my life?!

It’s this one
It’s lockdown frustration and boredom coming out, plus I’ve been coveting it for my (currently fantasy) holiday next year.

Please share your Hourglass experiences!

Err, no! Although hourglass are great quality- I have a few blushers, a bronzer and a highlighter. The ambient lighting powder doesn't do anything though and was a waste of money.

Just looking at Hourglass now. I need to know the answer to this!

JemimaPyjamas · 20/11/2020 14:15

There’s 20% in Liberty @Dinnertime22 making it slightly less extortionate! Hence why I took the plunge

@FreekStar glad to hear about the quality. Am not a huge make up wearer but do like the smaller amounts I do wear to be worth it!

Oh I love the ambient lighting powder on me. I wear dim light and I’m natural very pale. I also wear the bronzer and the two make me look healthy and glowy

Oh I hope you love it OP!!

I HATED mine Blush used it a grand total of twice and felt ridiculous both times. Biggest waste of money on a beauty product ever.

But most people seem to love it so I’m sure you will too!! Smile

Ambient powder is one of my few "use till the very last drop and re-purchase" things.

I recently bought the other hourglass Christmas palette and I LOVE it. The powder is great, I like to set my foundation with a powder and this one doesn’t make me look chalky but it has a lovely glowy finish. I also really love the bronzer and the blushers. It’s basically all gorgeous and I’ve used it every day since I got it!

JemimaPyjamas · 20/11/2020 14:51

I will have to report back once I've used it, but it sounds promising!

I bought one of the ambient lighting powder a few years ago and thought it was shite, so I sold it on, and bought a Revolution dupe which I found better! People rave about Hourglass though so I might have to try another one of their products soon.

I have the Ambient Light palette and every time I wear a friend comments on how good my skin looks. I love it as it gives a slight glow without any sparkle.

GinandGingerBeer · 20/11/2020 15:50

They're lovely 😊
I have the ghost palette.
Cult beauty have the 6 pan sculpture palette on offer with 30% off though op. (The 4 pan you've ordered has one colour that's different though I think so depends what you prefer)

JemimaPyjamas · 20/11/2020 18:55

@GinandGingerBeer I did wonder about that one but thought one was enough, and the other one is probably more suitable for what I want it for. If it's really good however, maybe it would be a good idea to stock up! Saying that, I think they will probably last ages
