I agree been saying that from I saw these blushes that swirl/veins distribution will have a major impact on swatches. Promo pics are so bright and vibrant compared to the actual products it seems. My fate is in the hands of the warehouse staff . Hope I get lucky!

I googled bunches of pics & nearly all of them have very little main blush color & much more of the highlight. I would think at least one would show up with more blush than highlight. Ack..my first experience with Hourglass. I so hope mine have more blush than highlight.

that's what happens with msf products.. have to cherry pick the veining or you get duds.

I see o.o guess I got lucky mne has lots of swirlies.. but maybe that's why I don't see the lavender mood light color in it :( But one more reason to buy ethereal glow in the future, that one looks lavender-ish, may be able to mix them together for an interesting color X3

So far I'm wondering why I ordered any of these instead of combining the powder of my choice from my Ambient Lighting palette with whatever blush I'm in the mood for. Duh

I don't like the name Ethereal glow... sounds like you're dead or from another world. And, I already have Ethereal somethingorother from L. Geller which is an amazing pink

lol Winthrop.. you hit the nail on the head with that comment. So true..it's not rocket science to mix colours -- MUAs do it all the time.

That's what I like about it ;) makes me think of elves and vampires >:D
On these swatches http://lipstickwithsomesunshine.com/2014/01/24/hourglass-ambient-lighting-blush/ it looks kinda lavender-like, but maybe its just my monitor because on this swatch it looks more light pink: http://loveyeyaa.wordpress.com/tag/ethereal-glow/

exactly. Must be because of the promo shot..lol Deceiving promo pic if you ask me. They look darn luscious in it. I guess we'll find out if anyone gets more blush in theirs. Maybe I'll end up liking them anyway.

I will need to try it, I suspect if I put the powder over blush it will make it more pearly. Mood exposure seems to have much less sheen than Luminous powder, but that may be because heavy swatch of blush and highlighter are two different things? lol

The promo pic is insanely different than the actual product. It also shows more of the color & less of the highlight shade which seems to be reversed from the real product that I've seen. Kind of disappointing. Sephora's shipping is sooooooooooo slow. Mine are still in the warehouse :(
Mine hasn't shipped yet either! I swear since I made VIB Rouge they send things out slower. So much for that free 3 day shipping

Yep... this may be the final decision for me... as I had originally anticipated. I was really hoping I was wrong and these would be as fantastic as the powders as a stand alone product. I don't need another ordinary blush that I can dupe.
