[@lilamasand5425]

a family friend of mine is the founder of the Nonhuman Rights Project so I love that, for a long time, Hourglass has been donating a portion of the profits to them 💖 and this packaging is most likely to raise awareness for it as well

[@-lovecassy_333]

I love how the butterfly palette is, like you said, this is definitely for a specific person, and luckily it’s perfect for me. I don’t wear bronzer, I find that it looks too harsh on me, even if I barely touch the bronzing pan. So I typically use bronzer as eyeshadow, and blush to give color and dimension to my face. I have oily skin, so I actually like to have choices for powder. Beautiful review, thank you soo much

[@icepearly]

Absolutely love the Tiger palettes! All the shades are perfect for everyday look! Thanks so much for the review Michele 🥰

[@thebeauteatalk]

Yeah I'm so glad to see they made 3 different shade choices for these palettes. To me the butterfly is for fair light skin, elephant is for light to medium, and the tiger is Richard tan to deep. The tiger one I've noticed doesn't look right on ppl with lighter skin. Which is great bc they truly made it for ppl with deeper skin. We all have a palette now we can pick from. That being said since u bought them all I was expecting u to use the tiger palettes deeper skin tone finishing powder as a bronzer. That palette I will say tho is made specifically for deep skintones and its about time. Thanks for buyin them all so we could see them in action this was so helpful.

[@patriciahorne1522]

I do wish we could customise the palettes. I am extremely pale so the powders in the butterfly palette would be the best choice, however, the blushes from the elephant palette would be more appropriate than the ones they put in the butterfly palette. There is also no bronzer. Disappointed.

[@estellerose9900]

Yeah I'm really confused who the Butterfly palette is for, because someone who would suit the powders is really unlikely to suit the blush and vice versa!

[@debbieotoole1072]

Ya Patricia, i want the Elephant palette but I'd like the highlighter in the butterfly palette

[@mariahciocco9091]

You can choose what the outer packaging you want and what you want on the inside

[@debbieotoole1072]

@@mariahciocco9091 yes you can do that but it would be better if you could pick individual shades, i like the elephant palette but i like the highlighter in the butterfly palette

[@sadsky4811]

I love their powders and always hit pan and use all the lighter/neutral powders and bronzers but there is always 1 or 2 blushes that I barely touch that remain when the rest is 100% gone. I would LOVE to customize! I would lose my sh*t. 🤣🤣

[@BeautyAndTheFrizz]

I wish that one of the butterfly blushes was in the elephant palette!!!! I agree with your thoughts about that palette totally! Love your demos!

[@sunflower312A]

That elephant palette 🧡 but those earrings on you, Michele! 💞🌟

[@runningforme]

Elephant for the win. Thanks again Michele. Love the tiger palette but same as you. Perfect for our deeper skin tone pals. But I still want it.

[@sweetmarcipan]

I really like The butterfly palette. I think that one is for me, I'm not into bronzers. Thank you so much for reviewing all of them Michele! :)

[@chowfurnowmeow]

I've been using dim light and incandescent light for years. I love it as setting my undereyes or as a finishing powder. I picked up the elephant version, after watching your demos, I want them all. 🥰

[@jamiliawallace9103]

I am loving the tiger palette! Beautiful

[@antonjenet3812]

So beautiful palettes. Thanks Michele 🤩

[@prettyE31]

Butterfly palette is stunning!!! I’m so glad I picked that one over the elephant.

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Hi Michelle they are beautiful thank you for sharing 🌺🌸

[@HeidiHi_]

The artwork on the pallets is STUNNING! ❤️

[@becm963]

Ooh, I like the new direction of Hourglass. I like having multiple palettes. Donating profits to help endangered species just warms my heart. Finally, using recycled materials is another positive. I can’t decide on my favorite. There are elements that I like out of each one.

[@YouSayTomato]

Oooh that tiger illustration 😍😍😍💛🧡It's a very satisfying look to these palettes made from new materials, what with the 2 tones inside and the slight texture.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks Barbara!

[@charlesclay7842]

The tiger shades look gorgeous and the mottled effect is a little like tiger stripes, the elephant palette suits you the best, great review thanks.

[@kittiemui]

I would definitely get the elephant palette and I love the designs too

[@lauragalek]

I find it very strange that Hourglass wouldn't put a bronzer in the light or the deep palettes. The Elephant palette is definitely the way I'm going to go. I'm pleased to see steps to them being more inclusive too. Even if only baby ones.

[@Onlinemakeupacademy]

Thank you for reviewing these palettes!

[@nataliaclaizoni9343]

Thanks for the review, Michele! I was about to buy the butterfly one and would regret it. Going for the Elephant. Your videos always save the day for me! 🙂

[@susanshowersinger6793]

I would choose the Butterfly. I'm very pale and don't want to use bronzer. The different finishing powders would be fun to try in different situations and they look beautiful! I thought it was gorgeous on you!

[@ruthcastillocastilla2847]

They look like they would work great as eyeshadow!

[@domino2367]

Definitely would go for the elephant 🐘 palette 🎨 as I have a light/medium skin tone, and it seems the more appropriate one ☝️. Thanks 🙏🏻🫶🏻 a lot my Dear Michèle, to have reviewed the 3 of them 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🎊🎊🎊🥰🥰🥰💕💕

[@louisesharpy]

love them. I know the butterfly is my skin tone. I know there is the least new in it , but it’s all nice. Love them all. The drawings are pretty. Elephants are my fav. And lions. I only wish there was another blush in the light. 3 powders are a lot but it doesn’t matter. Love them. I love your earrings.

[@AleSchwartzman]

Michele I love your channel and your personality! ♥️🙏🏼

[@brendaf1033]

My elephant palette will arrive Friday. I'm excited for this one.

[@pjs299]

Yay! Can't wait for your review!

[@SimplyDeeBeauty]

I ordered the first Palette with the elephant case cause it's so cute! Can't wait to try and review for my own channel. I think all three all lovely. Thank you Michele for showing us the swatches and applications ❤️

[@TheMicheleWang]

💗

[@irmabeadles3739]

Michele! Finally I’m here on time. Gotta catch up. I’ve been waiting for your review on this pallets. I love the elephant one, besides the art, I think those colors are a yes for me! Have a nice day!

[@sabaaftab8278]

Love watching your reviews ❤❤❤

[@judyreuter5034]

I ❤️ your earrings Michele. I have a couple pair of earrings from Alexis Bittar as well. Love the sparkle and design of his jewelry. 😉

[@vrintige]

I have the tiger palette and I’m so happy I got it! It suits my medium-deep skin really well 😃 Thanks for your video!

[@nschweiz4248]

I have twenty minutes to buy this off sephora website and this comment helps. Thank you!

[@MichelleVanDeusenRoberts]

I just want you to know that you are my Saturday guilty pleaser. I binge on your videos on my Sat. Hourglass is spectacular. The Dim Light is my personal go to. I also use Diffused Light under my eyes after concealing. I have no palettes but I use The Ambient Powders everyday. This is a product I do believe I could not live without. Also when I have Wedding gigs I use the powders on everyone. I will be looking into these palettes when I get a chance as I need to build my kit with more of course for Holday gigs I have coming up soon.

[@TheMicheleWang]

❤️❤️❤️

[@singrii7395]

💕…… I have been waiting for your reviews for these palettes…. 💕

[@amberr6589]

Thank you for reviewing. I went so far as to customize the elephant shades into the tiger packaging. Still waiting for the UPS person to deliver it though. 🙄 I knew for that was the shade range I’d get the most use out of. I do love those tiger shades but I’d have to use them for alternative uses. So glad they finally came out with a more inclusive holiday launch!

[@peninalipkin2974]

i have lighter skin then you and ordered the deepest pallet. the colors are stunning also you can use the dark finishing powder as a bronzer or even contour. the color is cooler which i like i also saw the other colors can also be used as an eye shadow. cant wait to receive them hope they work on my skin

[@Dancethedecay]

Great review!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@varisap2109]

Always high quality review! ❤ I think I will get elephant 🐘 palette this year!

[@Bohdii]

I want the elephant one!

[@yoyo-dj5bv]

What I love the most about Hourglass is their marble swirls of blushes, the colors are fantastic and also visually appealing. According to my skin tone the elephant palette has the most compatible hues and shades but the blushes don’t come in swirls. I appreciate the art work but if I choose Hourglass I would definitely want some swirls in there.

[@isthatjackson]

I got the tiger palette and color scheme. Happily for me I’m able to work all the shades on my skin.

[@jjohnson6833]

I actually love the color choices in the butterfly palette, especially the two very light colors. And I don’t miss the bronzer. I just don’t understand why they would do two almost identical blush colors. It makes no sense. I would rather have one of the coral blushes and one pink blush. But I do love that they have multiple pale shades because literally any color stands out on my pale skin. (Michele, your skin is not pale in the least compared to mine. You are light to medium. 🥰)

[@beckyc.5743]

Good to know about the recyclable material for the palettes. The former palettes were sturdier apparently but I’ll sacrifice that for the ability to recycle.

[@michellegeorge6448]

I got the elephant, and love it.

[@dawnbourque7974]

i'm waiting for mine to ship :) I'm excited.

[@johannalehtinen9256]

I really love the butterfly and even the double powder, cause it makes it ladt longer and I feel I use that the most. Only thing I'm missing is the bronzer.

[@PolarBear-mj9wt]

love your earrings

[@catherinele1580]

I love collecting these Hourglass palettes 🎨 but never end up using them 😅 i still have the original and the marble cover one too

[@juliebeck3796]

Great review Michele! I love the artwork, especially the Tiger and Elephant! I definitely agree that the finishing powders are too similar in the Butterfly palette. Also, the shades in the Tiger are gorgeous, but 3 highlighters in 1 palette is a bit much.

[@goldenshadow7691]

Great reviews as usual and I appreciate that you showcased from every palette!

[@KellieB]

I love the Tiger 🐅 Pallet and the products I'm it...

[@gabrielleduarte9886]

My fav is the elephant

[@vickiebonbeauty1395]

Thank you, Michelle! I wish I could grab the blushes from the elephant palette and put them in the butterfly...oh, and the bronzer. Lol! But, yeah, I'm stuck with the butterfly palette because I'm uncooked chicken.

[@anasamuel9754]

Uncooked chicken 🍗 🤣🤣

[@leazettegreen4625]

The packaging is so pretty and so are the palettes. I ordered the tiger. Great review as always. Thank you

[@caralai4886]

Really hit on my ❤️. I bought butterfly & elephant platte today Bcoz my skin tone is pale 😆😆

[@karenwright2312]

Beautiful Michelle ❤️💋

[@SueK2001]

Very pretty, love the artwork. I still use my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders during the summer to knock down some of the dewiness of some of my makeup choices lol. But I have to be very careful because powders seem to really emphasize my pores and wrinkles. 😞

[@melaniecarosi8320]

You did an incredibly preview/review of all three palettes! You gave Hourglass HUGE kudos! Fabulous video!

[@monicaherpfer594]

I agree. The butterfly palette should have had a bronzer in it. These are my favorite palettes each year but the butterfly palette is not complete without a bronzer.

[@jumanington7350]

Dim light is my all time favourite hourglass powder..it blanks out all the bad..my go-to xx

[@karenover50]

So excited to see your review. So disappointed elephant is sold out. As always, great review💙

[@robertjamesstephensonjr5098]

Hey, this is Robert's wife and loving ❤️ this video. Brands like Chantacaille, LaMer and LA Prarie are only things I dream to purchase. Hourglass is in that category as well. I guess I'm living vicariously through you. I especially love your videos of pr unboxiing and I still wish I could live in your world. As long as you are making videos, I will be right there watching and recommending your channel to everyone I know. Bye for now.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching and so glad you’re enjoying! ❤️❤️❤️

[@LittleMakeupChannel]

Maybe Butterfly is for the holidays. We aren't tan anymore but want that blush pop anyway 🤷‍♀ It's hard to understand the choices...how many of their finishing powders can we own ? Thanks for an awesome demo. What would we do without you ? 👍🏻

[@pappyone6062]

I feel like someone messed up when they were putting the powders and blushes into the butterfly amd the elephant palette. They don’t go together. And I agree - why no bronzer? These are face palettes. Incomplete. Disappointing. I’ve gotten the palettes very year. The tiger one is the most interesting but it’s a bit warm for me even with my light med olive skin. I wish they had one pinky and one coral blush in each palette for blush. Glad they have three palettes this year. Thanks for reviewing!

[@kimberlygonzalez5688]

I want the elephant palette but also find the ambient lighting edit palette beautiful! Which would you recommend? I seen both of your reviews on the palettes and would like your opinion on which is “better” option 😊

[@jann3443]

I've watched a few reviews of these palettes. First of all, the first thing I thought was, "how sweet is that elephant!" I just wish we could customize the palette. I'd take a blush from each palette as well as a finishing powder from each. I rarely use bronzer and never use highlighters. Having said that, I'll probably buy the elephant palette anyway.

[@melaniephillips7825]

Agree it should be fully customizable!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thanks Jann! Maybe getting the elephant cover on the butterfly version palette would work best for you? No bronzers and a lot of powders to play with.

[@maureyberdoy428]

Oh my god- still doing these for the holidays! Must be such a cash cow!

[@albaquiroz9042]

Nice

[@loralee3232]

Michele, great job in making all 3 palettes work. I would of liked seeing what the brown shade in the tiger palette looked like as a bronzer on you. My favorite is the elephant too because of my skin tone. 😊❤️

[@CarmenHui]

I just bought the tiger palette, but I’m planning to use the powder as eyeshadows and hopefully blushes too. Fingers crossed that it’ll work for my skin tone. It’s too pretty to not purchase.

[@daydreameraj9777]

The butterfly palette reminds me of Vivienne Tam HP mini 210 laptop.

[@AMerchBeauty]

💜💜💜

[@maryclebeau]

Michele, I am new to hourglass what the finishing powder? How to use it? Thank you

[@lornad1457]

I would have liked to see you apply one of the finishing powders, esp. in the Butterfly palette, in the same way that you apply the Meteorites, with that beloved Sonia G brush 😉, to see if they give a similar effect. Nevertheless, a thorough review of this new release by a down-to-earth youtuber.

[@dewimusa7167]

[@mayracabrera5020]

Love the elephant one! And so cool that a portion of the profits is going to be donated

[@TheMicheleWang]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@xoxjelloxox]

How does it compare. to the ghost ambient unlock edition?

[@robbye01]

Wow what in the world were they thinking when adding to each of these palettes? I mean they are all gorgeous but some don't belong & with the one having no bronzer it's just crazy. Would absolutely love to be able to mix and match. I doubt I will spend so much on a palette that may not work for me. I'm a medium neutral skintone. I'm thinking the Elephant may be too light & obviously the darkest one is too dark. I don't like pinky blushes either. On video these all looked more orange in shade is that true? I'm more into orange, peachy shades. Thanks. As always great review/tutorial 🥰

[@autmun42]

I wonder what those colors would look like as eye shadows

[@midtownbrownstyle321]

I would get that Butterfly palette if it had a bronzer.

On their website you can customize the palettes I believe.

[@judeli9237]

Their concept is same as chantecaille? Packaging so similar

[@ewelinabrylka8536]

♥️🍀

[@AmyKramara]

These palettes (and the artwork) are beautiful, and the Hourglass holiday palette releases are always exciting to me. Oh and the donation of 5% profits is lovely! However, I think Hourglass could have done a better job with the colour stories in each palette. Only having 1 true bronzer out of the 3 palettes is very odd to me since Hourglass is pricey and there is a whole 6 pans in each palette so feel like there is no good reason for each palette to not have it’s own suited bronzer or contour. Wish each palette had at least 1 bronzer or contour (or - even better - a brontour), 1 strobe, 1 blush, 1 finishing and then 2 ‘hero shades’ where it may not be as universally pleasing but it sure is beautifully unique - like the orangey blush in the Tiger palette, and all 3 palettes have their own exclusive shades and no already existing shades. At this price point I feel like I am not asking too much of Hourglass. All that being said my favourite is definitely the Tiger palette so I may eat my words and buy that palette when it is available to buy in Australia! Love your channel and content!! Xx

[@annhatfield6044]

Maybe they skipped a bronzer in the Butterfly palette in hopes that the fair to light customers would also purchase the Elephant....which is exactly what I did LOL And I even grabbed the Tiger just because those orange-y shades call to me, I plan on using them on my eyes in the summer.

[@LivingMyLife22]

I absolutely love the blushes in the butterfly one, also not a fan of bronzer but i agree i dont understand why they would put those 3 powders, they are pretty alike. Wish we could get the blushes separately or customize the palettes the way we want

[@BeautyAndTheFrizz]

The blushes in the butterfly palette really make me want it!

[@LivingMyLife22]

@@BeautyAndTheFrizz Same! Just for those 2 blushes, forget the other powders. If by some miracle i could get the palette on sale, then ill take the hit

[@carlarenner555]

You seem to have a lot of experience with these palettes and I don’t have one. Which one should I get and I don’t care how many years ago. I’m sure I can find it r

[@julespearson]

I'm pretty pale but the Butterfly one has the least new shades and I don't like the look of the blush colours. I've already got the face powders. I could use the Elephant palette, I can use Dim Light as a light bronzer but already have that. I've got quite a lot of the palettes from previous years so am starting to not want to buy the new ones now. They need to have new shades for me to buy them. The powders do work nicely as eyeshadows too and I would have tried that dark face powder in the Tiger palette as a bronzer.

[@megpeiffer7690]

Michelle, what color do you have on your nails? Is it black Cherry or fedora by chance? I love it!!

Just looking at the old one it does appear it would like best on me. I know you think elephant for your skin tone but what about someone a little lighter (at least I think I am)

[@laurenthomas4213]

The light palette makes no sense with those 2 very similar, overly bright blushes, and no bronzer. I have one of these palettes from a few years ago and the only thing I use in it is one blush shade, so I am probably deluding myself to think that any of these palettes would be worth it for me, but the packaging is just so so beautiful this year 🐅 🐘 🦋

[@jvc8947]

Elephant or butterfly. I’m torn because I tend to like the lighter highlights..ie. not gold.

[@falynangel6594]

The Butterfly 🦋 palette throws me. If they had a bronzer -would have made so much more sense. I'm guessing there is a demographic that won't buy a face palette with bronzer!

[@estellerose9900]

I am in that demographic (bronzer is never the tight tone for me) but there's also no way I could wear red blush so I think they missed the mark this time 😅

[@Marnelle43]

You know what’s funny…..I’ve started with Hourglass awhile ago with the minis….didn’t get the shades always correct and ended up using those as eyeshadow…..with dry skin I also have to be careful with the under eye….I ended up looking chalky or wrinkled….

I’ve seen a few videos on these pallets and I feel like everybody gets a stripe of color no matter what type of brush they use or how much they try to blend it out they look patchy.
