Yes, guilty as charged. I got another Hourglass Ambient Blush after my first purchase in the shade Radiant Magenta(see my review). I really enjoy the formula of this blush. It is a mixture of their famous ambient lighting powder with a blush. So when you apply the blush, it is like applying 2 products and give the pretties glow.
my little Sephora haul
One advantage of being a Sephora VIB rouge is it is free shipping with each order. They have new promo so very often that I could place multiple orders just to get the extra goodies.
Givenchy Le Rouge in 202 Rose Dressing
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
Marc Jacobs Beauty Lash Lifter
What a great set of goodies I received. Talk about luxury. I have never tried Givenchy lipstick and this shade is such a pretty coral reddish shade. I got the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer deluxe sample in another offer and such a nice primer. Excited to try the Marc Jacobs lash lifter. I guess this is like a primer for mascara.
Back to my new blush. I picked Diffused Heat as it is a pretty coral. There are 6 shades available and some are more pigmented than others and with my NC30 skin tone, it is either this or Mood Exposure. From what I see the swatches online, Mood Exposure is so pretty too but it looks like Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed so Diffused Heat it is.
Just look at it, Isn't it so gorgeous? It is a vibrant poppy shade infused with Diffused light powder which is a soft warm yellow powder.
The swatch is incredibly pigmented and smooth. For some reason, it feels so different with Radiant Magenta. This one is just so smooth, like butter.
It also feels so much more pigmented than Radiant Magenta. With Radiant Magenta, I usually have to apply a couple of layers to build up to the shade I want. Diffused heat is so pigmented and vibrant that only one swirl in the pan and apply, that's it. So I will have to use a light hand when applying.
I think I have a new favorite. This shade is going to be so perfect for spring and summer.

Are you falling into the hype of this new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush?
Nice haul from Sephora! These new Hourglass blushes look so pretty. I think I will wait for the next coupon event before trying the blush - I am still stinging from the price of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder (which I just reviewed in this post).
ReplyDeleteI think there is a 20% off at Sephora in April or so if I'm not mistaken. The Hourglass products sure are pricey.
DeleteHourglass items... Sometimes I just stare at them with a dreamy look on my face. LOL
ReplyDeletethey are quite pricey but ever since i got their ambient lighting palette, I'm totally in love with their products.
Deleteoh so pretty i think i do prefer your new one. also amazing perk with the order! makes me wish i was rouge...
ReplyDeleteI like the diffused heat much better than to radiant magenta to my own surprise and I have been wearing this non-stop since I got it :)
Deleteooh super pretty!! The formula sounds amazing :)

the blush is so finely milled and unlike anything blush I have. For this diffused heat, it is super-pigmented and you only need a tiny bit. Highly recommend this one.
DeleteThe blush looks gorgeous, I'm really curious about the ambient light products! I may need to try one out soon!
ReplyDeletethis blush is amazing. I just love the glow from the application. I have the ambient lighting palette and it is a great way to try out different powders before getting the full-sized one.
