![]() ….all this taken into account though, I still want to rock it like a baby and never let it out of my sight. It’s also pretty tiny, much smaller than it looks in photos, so you can’t be too sloppy when trying to dip your brush into just one of the pans. ![]() Money-wise it’s not a great deal which means that it’s really for people who can’t get it out of their heads (a.k.a most of us), peeps who have never tried any of the powders before or really amazing boyfriends whose Christmas present buying game is strong. 4) Pop in a lippy and blush, and voila Have you tried Hourglass. Here you’re getting 6 lots of 1.4g powders, so 8.4g, whereas in the usual Ambient Lighting Powders for example, you pay £38 for 10g. 3) I set both concealer and foundation with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder (Diffused Light). At £65 it’s painful to your pockets and it doesn’t equate to fab value for money. Now there is a downside as always and unfortunately here it’s price. The textures are just as buttery and blendable as the originals and this palette basically takes care of all face powder needs – setting, highlighting, bronzing, blush – everything. There’s also the Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light tacked on to the end which gives a nice sun-kissed honey glow. On the bottom there are two colours of the Ambient Lighting Blush: Mood Exposure, a mauvey ‘goes with anything’ shade and Luminous Flush, a hot fuchsia coral. On the top are three shades of their Ambient Lighting Powder range: Dim Light, a pale beige that I use to set my makeup all over, Iridescent Light, a never seen before shade that’s a shimmery baby pink most suited to highlight and Diffused Light, a pale yellow that’s great for undereyes and redness. In similar packaging to the rest of their Ambient line, it opens up to reveal a big mirror on one side and six pans of pigment on the other. ![]() It’s going to be the sell-out of the festive season and sit in the top spot of beauty lover’s Christmas lists worldwide, but is it worth the hype? Ridiculous musings aside, it’s time for a serious review. Also the name – ‘Ambient Lighting Edit’ – I knew I had to own it, even just from the name. I feel like I want to bundle it up and rock it like a baby. I breathlessly yelled ‘ OMG!‘ when it arrived and Mark and I didn’t talk for a while after he tried to rugby tackle me whilst I had it in my hands. I must preface this post by saying that the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit is one of the most beautiful things I have seen it my life.
