Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette Review and Swatches




Hello ladies! Please excuse the longest title in the world, it just makes it easier for those google searches. I know that I rarely buy any make up without having a little nosey at the reviews and Google images of swatches.
So today I'm bringing you the loveliness that is housed in this sleek little palette. I've heard so much about this brand especially when it comes to their ambient lighting powders and blushes and so far I've resisted temptation. Partly if I'm honest is because they don't have an Hourglass Counter at my local Space NK so if I'm spending more than £20 on a blusher I want to make darn sure I love it.
Ok let's take a look inside.


We have 3 gorgeous colours in here.

Swatched.


Colours from left - right.
1. Mood Exposure.
2. Incandescent Electra.
3. Luminous Flash.

These are such smooth finely milled glowy blushes. They remind me of the Too Faced Love Glow blush but of a higher quality. You can apply this lightly or build up for a stronger colour. The first layer can be fairly sheer.
I think the 3 colours in here are pretty universal and most fair - medium skin tones should be fine with it. I'm not too sure if it would suited darker skin tones. So this palette will set you back £ which isn't bad for 3 mini sized blushers. It perfect for travel or to pop in to your handbag. I'm going to happily reccomend this to you all and Id grab it quickly as its sure to be a sell out.

I like to watch something that's easy viewing so my top 3 shows at the moment are Suits, Towie and Made in Chelsea.

What do you wear during me time?
Either cosy pyjamas or A&F trackies.

Nope....id feel very weird doing this!

I like to sit on social media for ages, read tweets and catch up on blog posts. Love watching new YouTube beauty videos and looking at instagram. Oh and also Pinterest....I can spend hours on there daydreaming making up my dream boards.
