HOURGLASS AMBIENT LIGHTING EDIT UNLOCKED PALETTE REVIEW & DEMO | Sarah Brithinee

[@MariaSCarr]

I am so glad that your not only reviewed this, but also broke down the product based on price/gram. I love their powders, but don't think that I would pick this up now that I know it is overpriced.

[@SarahBrithinee]

I'm glad you enjoyed (: I always like to break things down so I can really give an honest opinion of if it's worth the money. xoxo

[@audrey2601]

I personally have never hit pan on any of my individual bronzers or blushes I own from HG. I used the Ambient light vol.2 pallet so much I bought a second. Just the convenience of having them all together - so great for travel or a top up during the day without having to take three or four products with you. If you look at any 'mini' they generally are higher in price per volume so I would consider it that way..plus I would never have enough money to buy 6 hourglass products at once! :) Thanls for the video.x

[@luxeydaze]

Audrey Did you hit pan on your first Ambient Light vol 2 yet?

[@ronnie-lynn]

The make up break up channel destroyed this pallet to see about how much product was in in it! And it ended having almost 4-5 grams more then the product stated on the packaging to! So just a interesting fact there as well haha 💕 I’m loving mine for traveling.

[@felicitygeorgiegirl5840]

There is more in these pans then hourglass’s mini powders and if you were to buy 6 of those it would cost $138.00 yes you would be paying for the packaging of the mini’s but I think really this palette isn’t over priced considering it’s a limited edition and these are all new colours. It’s easy fixed also use smaller brushes then you won’t mix up the colours.

[@renatetalks3984]

Hourglass is coming to Sephora in Denmark and I can’t stop watching videos about them, it’s so expensive but pretty much everyone swears it’s worth the price; their lighting powders, blushes, stick foundation, loose powder, eyeshadows... all seem to be in a league of their own 😍🙏

[@SarahBrithinee]

Ahhh that's SO EXCITING! I hope you love whatever you end up picking up from them! xoxo

[@sandyleegarcia8695]

I have last years palette and I barely use it. I agree the pans are too small to get your brush into. I love hourglass for my mature skin. It’s very forgiving. The only reason I considered purchasing this palette is bc most of these powders I believe are limited edition. Now I’m conflicted lol Thanks for the review girl. Appreciate it..

[@meganfairweather958]

SandyLee, I have this palette and I am IN LOVE! yes it's pretty expensive but in my opinion I think it's very much worth it! Also yes ALL of the powders in this palette are exclusive to only this palette and all of these holiday palettes including this one is very limited edition!

[@SarahBrithinee]

I love Hourglass too. They have some of the best powder products and always make my skin look gorgeous. Hopefully if you end up picking it up, you absolutely love it! xoxo

[@Ca_1021]

This is the only thing I want for xmas. It's so pretty!Also I am a new subscriber:) x

[@amandamcclare7314]

Hi 😊 I was thinking of getting this palette and or edit 4 for my birthday, but they are really expensive. $127 each here in NZ!. 😰 I am really confused which palette to get? I have pale/fair complexion and like a nice glowing complexion with highlight and subtle bronzer. I have never tried Hourglass but have heard great things. I like the idea of having the bronzer, finishing powder, blushes and highlighter in the one palette to save space etc but when you broke the price down wow! Would I be better to get the individual products perhaps? But then, which ones? Oh no, help! 😦

[@alannarhodes55]

I just swatched this today in store and it was surprisingly pigmented and stunning! I probably won't get it, however because I did recently get the illume sheer trio and the blush palette from the Nsale.. I was sadly not impressed by the nsale palette but love the illume palette. I'm a big fan of hourglass and have a ton of their products I use daily.. but it's so hard to spend $80 on 6ish grams when you get 10 grams in the bronzers and powders for way less! 🙈

[@SarahBrithinee]

That's a bummer that you weren't impressed with the NSale palette! I've heard nothing but great things about the illume sheer trio -- it's definitely on my list!

[@savanah1407]

I love the Dim Light ambient powder. But it’s so esspensive. Thank you for the review and doing the math for us!

[@SarahBrithinee]

Hahah I read esspensive in KathleenLights voice (I hope you know what I'm talking about 😂) You are very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed (: xoxo

[@calmficus]

Try Makeup Revolution Radiance and Beyond Radiance palettes, amazing quality and in my opinion dupes for Hourglass. They're $7.99 on Ulta. I have this Hourglass palette, a bronzer, blush and an ambient lighting powder and believe me they're dupes in quality to the finishing powders.

[@SarahBrithinee]

Oooh, I'll have to look into those!

[@MicahMichelle8]

Best points made on this!! Thanks for helping us save money!!👍🏼

[@ashdaugherty9213]

Hour glass stick foundation hands down is my fav foundation period !! You need to try it out yourself 🙌🏻

[@SarahBrithinee]

Everyone talks about how great it is. I really need to try it soon!

[@chalanthornsiri-aksorn5530]

Hi Sarah! I’d love to see your review on Becca be a light face palette 😘

[@xoxjelloxox]

Does anyone have any opinions on this?

[@chalanthornsiri-aksorn5530]

xoxjelloxox i actually bought both Hourglass unlocked palette and Becca be a light. I just like Becca better cause it makes my skin look a lot healthier with pretty glowy finish. I’m so in love with it now!

[@edithmartinez9884]

I never saw any other beautyblogger talking about $/g ... i really love it!

[@SarahBrithinee]

Yay, I'm so glad you enjoyed that!

[@1017anabella]

I tried using this as eyeshadow also but had so much glitter fall out by mid day 😩 I like the palette but am still contemplating if I am going to keep it or not .

[@SarahBrithinee]

Oh really? That's not good! I didn't have any fall out from my eyes. I'm in the same boat. I like it, but it's expensive.

[@xoxjelloxox]

Ana R is it very sparkly? Noticeable that there is sparkles on the eyes?

[@meredithbenoit4463]

I just love that they’re limited edition colors! I think that wracks up the price as well. You know how I feel about the palette though. 😉

[@SarahBrithinee]

Yeah, that definitely can make it more expensive. I don't know why, but I don't really value limited edition colors unless it's something that I think is so different than others. I still love the palette, I just don't necessarily think it's worth the money since I could get more product for less money. I'll still be using this a ton!

[@meredithbenoit4463]

Sarah Brithinee I can definitely understand that. I travel a lot and love to have nice palettes to travel with, for condensing it and I feel like they don’t break as easily. Since HG powders are so fragile, I always get super nervous traveling with the individual pans. I actually really like getting the small version of the blushes because my brush fits in them perfectly and the regular sized ones are super expensive. The small ones are $24 instead of $38, so that’s a nice difference ($24 is still ridiculous for a blush), but I’ve never hit pan on a HG product, even my illume sheer color trio, which is all creams. I love the mood exposure blush- that one doesn’t have any shimmer in it, but it’s a plum-ish color, so you might not like it on your skin tone. I also have luminous flush, which is a champagne rose, but it seems more shimmery to me. You’d probably really like the color of diffused heat. All of their blushes are mixed with their different ambient lighting powders- that’s why some appear more sparkly than others, but they don’t have actual glitter in them. I love their bronzers A LOT, Diffused bronze light and luminous bronze light are my go- to ones. I think you may already have radiant bronze light. If not, you need it! I know you love the champagne flash highlighting stick- as do I. Do you have the Vanish stick foundation? It’s the only stick foundation that I like, and I usually dot it on and also dot on a regular foundation and mix them together. I have a limited edition highlighter trio that’s really pretty- I do like their highlighters a lot. Have you tried their scattered light eye shadows? If not, try reflect. It IS glitter, but not obnoxious. It’s very pretty. And their Veil setting powder is super pretty and radiant if you haven’t tried that. I have a few of their brushes and love those too. And I know we’ve discussed their Caution mascara. You should also try their Veil Mineral primer if you haven’t. It’s very nice. Oh! And lastly their arch fiber brow gel is so great!! Now I’m basically just rambling. But I wanted to give you a rundown on my favorites from the brand, since you love it too, but you said you’re a little newer to it. 😉👍 I’ll message you next time- typing all of this on YT is crazy hahah.

[@sozayas]

Thank you! You help me make my decision.

[@PorcelainLeigh]

I got this and although I love the soft focus effect this has, it read muddy on my pale complexion. Back it goes. Also for 80 dollars, I expect the packaging to be as luxe as the product. It isn't. It feels like a cheap, lightweight, plastic pallet purchased at Walgreens.

[@SarahBrithinee]

That's definitely not worth it if it's giving you a muddy look! That's the good thing about buying from places that take returns.

[@28ronji]

I love the powders so I have bought the full size, but I do think the price is too high for those small pans. Don’t get me wrong they have great products and the powders are worth every cent, those multi palettes just don’t do it for me. Great review 👍

[@SarahBrithinee]

That's how I feel too. I really love the products, Hourglass makes some phenomenal powders!

[@jessicaritchie4792]

I love thier foundation but I've only had a mini size cause it was a special Sephora ran. I'm a mother of 3 I can't afford most of thier products..lol but one day I wanna try thier setting powder.. I just have to save or wait for a sale

[@meganfairweather958]

Jessica, you could always get their travel size! they have it @ Sephora :)

[@jessicaritchie4792]

@@meganfairweather958 Thank you I did see them and I have one waiting in my cart on the Sephora app I'll get it eventually It just seems like I'll have money aside then get hit with school pics or New shoes..lol life of a mom ya know.. I'll get it this week coming up probably..

[@SarahBrithinee]

I was going to say the same thing as Megan. They have minis of a lot of their products. Hopefully you'll be able to treat yourself soon to something soon (: xoxo

[@calmficus]

I already mentioned this but I thought I'd reply to your comment. Try the Makeup Revolution Radiance and Beyond Radiance palettes for $7.99 at Ulta they're dupes for the Hourglass finishing powders. I do own Hourglass and I use them interchangeably.

[@jessicaritchie4792]

@@calmficus thank you Soo much.. I will definitely try them because I wanted to get the makeup revolution version of the Huda beauty rose gold remastered. Maybe I'll do that instead

[@ashleybickling4843]

It’s pretty but so expensive

[@SarahBrithinee]

Yeah, it's definitely a splurge item.

[@loreendagenais2898]
