[@shannantiffin8119]

I do not think this video is too late. I feel some people may be waiting for them to show up at other retailers and this will help them decide. Even though I ordered the lotus palette, I am trying to decide if I want the evil eye palette. Initially I was turned off by so many pinks, but I love the way the look on you.

[@RoseOfMadina]

@@shannantiffin8119 I've been liking the evil eye palette too - the rosegold highlighter 🤩 (first time for Hourglass!) and the neutral blush! Also always nice to have a blurring finishing powder. I was in doubt about the rosy blushes too; the palette is an investment - you would want to love all shades. I felt the 2 blushes were similar, however on swatches I have seen that the coral and cooltoned pink do translate differently. I do not like the evil eye, but I'm gonna customize it to lotus!

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Shannan 😭 I was pleasantly surprised with the Evil Eye edit because the overall tone of the blushes is right up my alley 💫

[@J_loves_lu]

@@RoseOfMadinathat’s what I did friend ❤ I didn’t like the evil eye packaging but the color story is beautiful ! But hurry ! As I heard that if u want the evil eye color story with different packaging there’s now a waitlist on hourglass … I think that specific color story is the most popular ❤ PS … ok I just checked on the HG website & there is in fact a waitlist for the evil eye color story 😢 that’s again if u want to customize the outside packaging

That red blush went from adorably flushed, like you just frolicked around outside during the winter, to High Fashion once you did the blush draping. It's soooo pretty on you!

Their absolute refusal is so 🙄🙄🙄 it’s the only reason I don’t buy from them!

[@aliciaarcher]

I’ll be curious to see how far they pushed the needle with Bronze Heat. I would also like to see someone who is deeper complected mix Red O and Bronze heat together (or even the finished shade) to see if they can create a some depth and flush at the same time.

[@drnono3386]

I'm always interested in what you say about these holiday palettes. BTW, 2 out of the 3 may be Asian symbols of luck inspired but the 'Evil Eye' (🧿 Nazar in Turkish/Kurd) is from the Middle East and is a protective symbol. It literally wards-off evil eyes (of others) and sometimes used to protect (or encourage) babies. It predates the monolithic religions, although still worn by ME Christians, Jews and Muslims (and others) all over the world, either as the eye symbol, the protective colour blue or the hand (of Miriam or Fatima).

[@danijanae3751]

The Lotus palette looks so good! I’ve never purchased hourglass because as you said the colors don’t seem very saturated and I like color! It’s good to see they are expanding but still a long way to go

[@J_loves_lu]

These are the best HG palettes yet! 😅❤🎉 I picked up Dragon with the dragon colors & the evil eye but inside the lotus artwork 😍 stunning powders & stunning packaging ! I think these will surely sell out sooner rather than later … not trying to create FOMO by any means though … if anyone, however, wish to customize the packaging; there is a waitlist to customize the evil eye colors in the other compacts; It seems that the medium color story is the most popular ! I love that they finally gave us five new shades per palette and the deepest one is finally headed in the right direction ! I have had a love affair with hourglass powders for years ! All of the palettes looked absolutely lovely on you, Alicia as always 🎉 and yes, these pallets can absolutely be worn on the eyes ❤

[@kr8882]

Thank you. I watched this video 3 times. Your video is not too late, the palettes are not available here until 15th October. My complexion is medium with warm undertone, similar to yourself and I can only buy one. Which one do I buy? The evil eye or the lotus? Which one is your favourite? You didn't actually say which is your favourite. Thank you again and I hope you have a lovely day.

[@yvettephillips8797]

Either should work. Evil eye would give you everyday, work friendly or subtle looks. Lotus similar but stronger looks, but with a light hand , buffed back (and brushes used) would work. HG quality helps so it is up to you how you use them. Hope that helps ❤️xx

I snagged the evil palette in the dragon case. It’s very pretty. I use with a light hand. It’s really a lovely formula. First time ever buying hourglass and I really am happy.

[@aliciaarcher]

I’m happy to hear that!

[@justhadtoshare]

I love that you used the powders as eyeshadows!!! When I saw the palette with the lotus design, I was immediately drawn to it! This is my first Hourglass palette, even though most of my makeup since 2016 has been from Hourglass Cosmetics-none of their previous palettes ever spoke to me until now. I signed up for early access, and when I received the sneak peek and saw Red 0 included, I was so excited. This year, I decided to change my lipstick shade, having always stuck to their "I'll Never Stop" (Beige Nude) Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick. Feeling daring, I tried Red 0 in the Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick and instantly fell in love with its stunning red shade. For reference, my foundation is Laura Mercier's Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation in 4N2 Tea (medium with neutral undertones). My perfect shades are the Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Nude Bronze Light, Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure (soft plum), and Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder in Euphoric. I justified purchasing the palette mainly for the Red 0 blush, knowing that even if the bronzer, finishing powder, and highlighters in the Lotus palette were too deep, they could still work as eyeshadows. When my first Hourglass palette arrived, it confirmed my suspicions: aside from the two blushes, and the bronzer (which I use as a contour powder) the other shades were indeed too deep for my complexion. However, they make amazing eyeshadows! I really hope Hourglass makes Red 0 a permanent shade in their range and starts offering more neutral shades. It would be even better if they introduced the option to customise the shades within their palettes.

[@deniseaukerman]

I don't use foundation at all. I just apply primer, then buff the Hourglass powder over my face, then apply the blush, bronzer, and highlighter. Th radiant look I am left with is beautiful. Hourglass powders definitely create the most filtered looks! Thanks for the great video!

[@aliciaarcher]

Yes! The powders are wonderful for a light veil of coverage 🤌🏽

[@coribolle6417]

I have the Dragon 🐉 palette and the #2 palette in the Lotus flower 🪷 packaging. I love the palettes but I'm gonna say the blushes in the Dragon palette look really similar on the cheeks. The strobe light powders are really intense so if you are super fair use a light hand or use them on the eyes.

[@aliciaarcher]

Yes the strobe highlighters are super shiny-

Mine are also delayed😅 ordered via Air Mail from Europe. Dragon and Eye in Lotus design. It will be my first palette (light complexion) and the evil eye is a present (tan complexion) Also ordered the dual brushes. I'm one of these seemingly rare people who uses dual end brushes and enjoy them. On office days I do my make-up while commuting by train and I store brushes mostly in bags for that purpose. I love the lucky charm palette design and to me it is very international. There are so many more people in this world than north america and western europe. Most of my international collegues were delighted by this years packaging. But they absolutely need a 4th dark variant. Great and fun review, thx✨🪷🐲👁️

This years palette are customisable as well! Hourglass has two separate product pages a standard and a customised one. I almost went with lotus packaging and 2nd curation but then I bought the standard lotus palette.

[@manicagency]

I have the lotus pallette and the bronzer is actually a contour on me, it's distinctly cool toned on my skin which is ok because on a cooler toned dark skin tone it would look amazing and the peachy blush doesn't show up much and it also not very warm? it's almost dull , like it's muted with like a hint of grey on my skin tone when I build it up? Overall I like the direction hourglass is going for, the lotus feels far more curated for darker skin then the tiger which is the other one I own, the tiger felt a little confused, like hourglass didn't want to commit to making a pallette for dark skin.

[@nicolewodtke9026]

I got the evil eye pallet and I really like the look of the art work. I think it’s unusual and interesting. A little more original looking than the dragon or lotus palette art work. It’s uplifting when I get it out. I also like what’s inside too! Great colors.

I was just curious as a runner do you ever get plantar fasciitis?

[@aliciaarcher]

I do not! But, my mileage is low, averaging at most 10-12 miles a week total. I also have strong feet, as I run with vivobarefoot sneakers, and have for years. Starting with just a mile, and building my tolerance from there. I also work on foot mobility, which can help the foot’s resilience for running. It also helps that I used to dance for years, and dancers have exponentially stronger feet compared to the average person. So that most likely plays a role-

[@Issamermaid]

Also I think you were too excited when you were ordering or maybe the option wasn’t available at the time cause when I checked the website a couple of days ago you could customize.
