An Hourglass blush palette is coming! Release date in mid-October, for $58.

Looks like Luminous Flush, Mood Exposure, and an exclusive Incandescent Electra.

FYI, info from this site: http://www.magi-mania.de/hourglass-ambient-lighting-blush-palette-kommt/ (in German)

Ugh, why did I buy Luminous Flush already?  Thank goodness I didn't get Mood Exposure yet, because I loved it when I swatched it in-store. I bought Luminous Flush online before I had even swatched any & it's wearable, but sadly not one of my favorite blushes.

Still, I'm pretty sure I'll buy this palette.  Because...well... it's gorgeous.

Ugh, why did I buy Luminous Flush already? 

My thoughts exactly! That is the ONE shade I already have. I guess it's a sign to save my money.

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

Me too, but I was in store today (spent a ton :scared: ) and swatched all these blushes, none look dark enough for my skin...they all look powdery on me. I did get a nice nars blush, so that cushioned the sadness.\

Also why do they make in store shopping so unexciting? I just spent almost $300 and not one sample or gwp, grrrr!

I swatched all the hourglass powders too and the blushes seriously didn't show up on me either! I love the idea of the ambient lighting powders but I just don't get it/don't think it will do anything for me?

It so is. Couple the no samples/codes with nasty testers and having to talk to sales associates and I'm online all the way. I was glad to see the Pulp Fiction UD lipstick in-store though. I had been lusting after it and seeing it in person made me go NOPE, nope, nope. Would not work with my coloring.

I need Sephora to just send me a makeup counter every few weeks with no one looking over my shoulder and things nobody else has touched. I'll just send back what doesn't work /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I didn't love the UD Pulp Fiction stuff either /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It didn't make any sense for me to buy the stuff just because I'm a huge fan ! I don't think I would've used any of it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It had Looked blood red in the promo pics but in person it seemed kinda brown and just would not look good on me.

A bit more information - 10 grams in the palette versus 4.2 in each individual blush, making this palette a MUCH better deal that the original powder palette, even if you already own Luminous Flush. I'd probably buy it for the other two, alone, but since they made the powder palette permanent, I don't feel the need to jump on this right away.

Can't wait to see Incandescent Electra live, though. I LOVED the Incandescent Light from the previous palette.

Guess I know what to set aside money for in October!  Sephora better be getting this, and a Rouge exclusive for first dibs would be even awesome-er!

I keep getting WONDERS.  7 days of serum and moisturizer, plus I have a few of the 100 perk sheer transformation jars...I've been combining and giving as little gifts - i.e. hostess gifts, thank you gifts or for one friend I put in a make up bag and gave for birthday present as a secondary gift to her main gift. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I gave another friend a whole make up bag full of samples as a secondary gift!

I don't have any of the Hourglass blushes yet, so I might be getting that blush palette when it comes out. I hope it isn't limited edition / doesn't sell out quickly.

Luminous Flush and Mood Exposure were the exact two that I returned because they weren't worth the price tag. However, for $58 I would definitely buy this! They are definitely worth $19.33 each!

 

[SaraP]

I love your math!

*still not worth it for me, but almost he he

The thing is, we don't know that the price is for sure $58. The original post (in German) was just assuming it would be that cost because of the powder palette. But since the blushes in this palette are bigger than the Ambient Lighting Palette, it wouldn't surprise me if the price point for this was closer to $70. 

Edit: We can hope, though!

Pretty blush! I have Dolce Vita. I want those ambient lighting blushes but the don't show up on me either /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just FYI re: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette - the original video is in English, and it is a promo for the companies Monty PR represents, including Hourglass. They give the price as £56, and since the original Lighting Palette is also £56, there is no reason to assume that won't hold true for the price given a U.S. release.

So I think it is pretty safe to assume the $58 price tag will be about right.

:lol:   :lol:  I love her, but when Grav3yardgirl used this palette, she looked... well.

Also, I'm very pale, but the ambient blushes were just a HUGE disappointment. I purchased three, totally ready to fall in love. I only kept one, and that's only because I was determined to make it work. They're actually VERY streaky/difficult to put on (well, as difficult as it can be to put on a blush) and super powder-y, as others have said. And yes, that's sort of the gimmick, but I don't want my blushes OR powders to LOOK powder-y and I doubt anyone else does. I think part of the problem, as someone else mentioned, is that it's really important to get the right ambient light powder for your complexion for them to work. With the blushes, you have to match both the colored pigment and the ambient light powder for it to really be flattering. If you can find the right match I'm sure they're absolutely gorgeous, but for most people they're just meh. I'll still get the palette because I have issues, lol.
