I have been eyeing on the Hourglass ambient lighting powder for the longest time. Did several swatches at Sephora and as nice as it seems, I find it hard to take the bite to buy a single lighting powder/illuminizer at CAD $52.
Last Friday night when I was ready to go to bed, checked on some Twitter feeds and found out from MakeUpAndBeautyBlog that Hourglass has released a limited edition of Ambient Lighting Palette, I knew I had to make a late night Sephora online order.
Ambient Lighting Palette (@ Sephora)
CAD $67
To me, this palette is an awesome deal. With 3 lighting powders( dim light, radiant light and a new limited powder: incandescent light) and a deluxe sample size of veil mineral primer and priced at $67 seems like a much better deal than getting just the one powder at $52. When I was testing the different powders at Sephora, I had a hard time to choose between a couple of them. This palette is perfect for me.
Left: Tarte The Bright Time Deluxe Maracuja Oil & Eye Treatment
Right: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Palette
To qualify for free shipping, I added this Tarte set. I have heard so much about their maracuja oil and I am always trying new eye cream so this set is perfect.
From L to R: Dim Light, Incandescent Light, Radiant Light
What it does:
Create your perfect light. Ambient Lighting Powder is a groundbreaking collection of finishing powders that capture, diffuse, and soften the way light reflects on your skin. Unlike traditional powders, which merely cloak imperfections, Ambient Lighting Powder utilizes photoluminescent technology to filter out harsh light and refine the appearance of the complexion. The powders deliver a multidimensional luminescence to every skintone, making it appear softer and lit from within. The finishing powders enhance skin in any type of light, including flash photography. With three universal shades available in the Ambient palette, you can create your desired effect.

Sephora has recently improved their shipping time in Canada. This order took only 5 business days to arrive at my doorstep which I am so impressed. I recall orders could take up to 3 weeks before. So this is a huge improvement.
I am super-excited to try this palette. Have you tried this or other Hourglass products? What are your favorites?
