L-r: NARS Orgasm, Hourglass Diffused Heat, NARS Deep Throat, theBalm FratBoy Luminous Flush was a bit too reddish/rosy, but I was drawn to Diffused Heat, particularly the swirls of Diffused Light (the one Ambient Lighting Powder that I kind of wish I'd purchased instead of Dim Light) mixed into the "vibrant poppy" colour. It wasn't until I spotted Luminous Flush and Diffused Heat at another Mecca store that I was tempted to buy. ![]() I wasn't convinced with Radiant Magenta on me, as incredibly attractive it looked in the pan, the subdued browny peach of Dim Infusion seemed a touch too dusty and light, Ethereal Glow was out of the question and Mood Exposure didn't appeal to me. Was the effect that special and unique that I'd fork out $50 a pop for them? Probably not. When these rolled in Mecca Cosmetica, I was quick to slap some of the testers on my cheeks and examine closely. Who was I kidding - even if they turned out to be hideously expensive and overrated, I just wanted to join in on the fun. The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette is available now at a brief moment, I thought I'd be a rare specimen among beauty bloggers: someone that didn't succumb to the monstrous hype surrounding Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush. I think the blush formula is a hit or miss formulation for some folks (like me!) but I can’t deny they do look incredible on! I just wish for a little more luminosity in the finish that would tip over into the realms of perfection. I love the pretty variety of shades but honestly, on my light medium skin they actually end up looking all the same! The undertones of my skin makes each shade look like a pretty peach….even Mood Exposure which has pink swirls ends up looking peach on me.Įven though I already own two of these shades I’m still happy to have purchased the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette (Luminous Flush) Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette (Incandescent Electra) Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette (Mood Exposure) Granted a little smaller than the 0.35 oz full size but still a good deal of variety and product at merely $58. Purchasing three shades would set you back $105 and you’re getting three shades at $58. On that note, I will say that you do get a good deal of product here as each blush is 0.11 oz in size. ![]() I do think that the better option and cheaper one is Laura Geller Blush n Brighten as the formula is a good deal better and does in fact provide the luminous finish I wanted from these! Although the powdery texture, for me, is a bit wasteful as they do kick up a heck of a lot of powder and this palette and the individual blushes are not cheap and I feel like I’m wasting product at times when swiping my brush through them! I find texture powdery and chalky but the density of the powder and chalkiness blends out to a very airbrushed finish. It’s an interesting concept to say the least. These are actually created with the base of Ambient Lighting Powder and Hourglass just adds a swirl of color into the powder to create the blushing effect. If you expect glow it could be disappointing to you. No shimmer, no glitter, sparkle, or luminosity! It seems to buff out to a very soft, even finish but I’m never had the pleasure of seeing the the glow they promise. I don’t really get that candlelit glow that the formula promises. I think where the formula misses sometimes is the glow factor. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette (Luminous Flush, Incandescent Electra, Mood Exposure) It’s a natural, even finish! They look incredibly no matter how lightly or heavily you apply them! You really can’t tell where your skin begins and the color ends. Let’s see how the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette does for me!Īs a lover of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder the idea of the Ambient Lighting Blush excited me! I think the blushes have an absolute seamless finish. I both like it and dislike it as told by many of my reviews I did when the product launched a few months ago. I’m actually a hit or miss kinda girl with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush formula. Probably the nicest thing about the palette is the fact you’re getting a brand new, exclusive shade within the palette so if you’re a fond fan of the Ambient Lighting Blush formula that likely has you excited. ![]() The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette ($58) is filled with three shades of Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Incandescent Electra (new, exclusive shade), Luminous Flush, and Mood Exposure.
