No, it's not like Topaz from my recollection. Do you have MAC's EDSF in Superb? It's like if you layered Superb over The Balm's Betty Lou! It has those micro shimmers like Superb but the shade and sheen of Betty-Lou.

I ordered BG with my Sephora Epic Fail $. I said I was done with highlighters but free is good and I don't feel like figuring out what to get before the code expired, lol. This landed in my lazy lap, hahaaaa!
Thanks for this.

+ [@]Twinkle_Twinkle[/@] The displays were always empty in NYC when I went. Time Sq and 34th. Haven't been to Sephora in some weeks though. I always had to ask to see it and they'd pull the lone display one from the drawer or the studio. Thinking ...maybe they didn't have a new display for it. But no gold boxes in the drawers either. I had to order mine online. This was during the point promo right before Epic Fail...so that can be why too.

The more I hear people rave about it, the more impatient and excited I get while I'm waiting for it to arrive. Thank God mine is scheduled for delivery on Friday, I don't think I have the patience to wait until next week to get it, lol.Ughhhh I love this highlight! Reminds me to pull it out and use it more often!

Hitchcockblonde posted the link to the limited edition Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette in the Sephora thread. I wanted to post it here in case any of you ladies were interested in this palette but don't look in the Sephora thread that often. It's VIB Rouge and VIB exclusive for now.

I think the Hourglass Palette is a skip for me. The individual pans are so small and I'm not that interest in half of the shades in the palette. Great news for my wallet.

No overspray on Bronze Glow. The overspray was on Pink Glow.

The Hourglass Palette is a skip for me as well. As you've stated, the individual pans are smaller than the singles and from what I've heard, are about the same size as their travel size pans (I don't know this for a fact though so don't quote me but they are obviously smaller than the standard size pans). In addition, the top half of the palette doesn't look like it will do anything for me and the bottom shades aren't exceptional enough, in my opinion to pay $80 just to get them. So this is great for my wallet as well.

IT's your fault. I didn't even know it was around.Pretty you have to be more decisive and come to the party just a little bit earlier.

Exactly! I remember discussing it in here once and thought it was just another that got away since I wasn't paying eBay prices for it. This, MAC WOG and EL Heatwave are the ones I missed since I wasn't into highlighting this much. I highlighted, but used the same one or two all the time before coming in this thread! WOG is coming back soon so I'm glad about that. Heatwave needs to make a comeback!

Has that been confirmed? I thought there were definitely going to be ED powders with the holiday collection but we don't know which ones yet.

It doesn't appear on the colour stories so far and the product in the photo that was circulating seems to be an eyeshadow.
One of my IG followers tagged me in a NC50 swatch of Pink Glow & Bronze Glow. I've only got BG, but I've got some hi-res pics on my blog if you search for the name.

Thank you for posting this! Seeing this swatch of the newer version of Pink Glow is making me reconsider my choice of not getting it. I don't know if they made any changes to the original, but this swatch in comparison to swatches of the first release appeal to me a lot more. I would love to be able to see more swatches and reviews of this or swatch this in person before making a commitment to buy it though, so I'm hoping that they'll announce a store release date soon so I can see how it would look on me.One of my IG followers tagged me in a NC50 swatch of Pink Glow & Bronze Glow.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially since so many people are excited about the new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette, however, I think everyone who has purchased or intends on purchasing this product should be aware of how much product they're getting for the price the company is asking for it.

Quote from @trendmood1:
Unfortunately, the amount of product in the whole new palette $80 is LESS than the amount of one single shade $45. Each powder is .049 ounces. .049 × 6= .294 ounces. So let's do some comparison. A regular hourglass powder is .35 ounces for $45. The ambiant lighting palette is $58. Each powder is .116 ounces, times 3 = .348 ounces. So for this new palette with 6 powders you're getting less product for $80
Quote from @angelamarytanner:
Just for further reference a makeup geek eyeshadow has .064 oz of product. AKA the hourglass powders in this palette are smaller than a standard eyeshadow.
Despite the costs for the amount of product that is included in the palette, it is still valuable to have for those who prefer the convenience of having all of the shades in a single palette, especially if they do not have most of the shades included or if they have no desire to lug around or store single shades. However, if you are concerned about the monetary value of the product in regards to how many ounces you are receiving for the amount of money that it costs, I would suggest that you either go in store when it's available to see it in person to determine if you are satisfied or unsatisfied with the size, or see what others say about it once they have it in hand since some people's orders have already arrived or will be arriving to them soon. For those who have already purchased it, you can return it if you don't think it fulfill your needs or keep it if it does. Either way, I hope those who decide to purchase it or keep it if they have already purchased it are happy with their items (because that's what matters at the end of the day) and for those of you who don't want to purchase it can find something that can make them equally as happy since a plethora of holiday items are coming out.
