Hi Ladies!

Just wanted to let you know that the blushes have been restocked on the hourglass website
Dim Infusion and Diffused Heat are now out of stock though..

Just got to open my LF. It's really pretty. The texture is great. I can't wait to apply this to my face!

I'm loving my diffused heat! It has a healthy mixture of the powder and color. It is vibrant but so easily blendable. It applies like a dream! Here I am wearing it

T-B: dim infusion, ethereal glow, diffused heat. I'm NC 10ish for reference. I'm disappointed in ethereal glow for sure! It barely has any blush. From one swatch of ethereal glow it kind of just blended in with my skin. Diffused heat is my favorite. This is from one swatch.

I wanted to get ethereal but it seems way too pale, even when I have pale skin But I'm really happy with my mood exposure X3 I'm still tempted by luminous flush but I may achieve similar result with nars day dream and luminous ambient powder over it, I will have to experiment.

Yup, this confirms my suspicion that Diffused Heat is the one of these I need to start with. Beautiful!!

I've had a chance to wear the 3 that I ordered and here's what I think of them...

Diffused Heat is my favorite by far. It's a pretty, bright coral color that looks great on my pale skin. It's a keeper.

Radiant Magenta is going back. On my cheeks, it looks very much like DH. RM isn't as bright and is more pink. The RM I received, had more blush than powder but I still had to do more than a few swipes to get the color to build up. It's going back

I'm undecided about Dim Infused. I need to give it another try. It's a very pretty peach on but I have so many peach blushes, I don't know if I need another (especially when it's $35).

I don't think I'll be getting any more of these. They are great quality but I don't think there is anything unique about the colors - both RM and DH reminded me of my Horizon de Chanel blush (best blush purchase ever!). These just aren't 'wowing' me. I think if I mix any of the blushes I have w/the ambient powders I have, I can get the same effect as the Ambient Blush.

From everything I've seen online I think DH would be my favorite as well. I love EG in concept but now doubt it would show up on my cheeks (which have a touch of redness compared to the rest of my face). I wish they would offer some cool colors that would show up and remain cool on the skin when mixed with the highlighter component.

 

[elegant-one]

Diffused Heat is definitely my favorite!

 

[User38]

as much as these are tempting, I think I have so many which are similar or mix with the ambient powders.. dunno.

Wow! Really pretty!

You look gorgeous! Such a wonderful color on you!

 

[myfavoritePA]

Beautiful! It's the perfect just-ran-around-the-block flush on you!

I just received Radiant Magenta and Mood Exposure. Though online swatches seemed to indicate Radiant Magenta was more coral than pink, it is not the case on me. I'm fair, with a yellow undertone. Pretty happy with it so far, but I want to see it in daylight tomorrow. Mood Exposure swatches nicely on the back of my hand, also better than I expected from the swatches online. Both pans had a lot of colour relative to the ambient powder swirled in.

Is Mood Exposure cool toned and plummy on you, or more warm-toned, like Temptalia's swatches?

I would like to know that too. It seemed browny muddy in some pics/swatches not plummy

 

[coffeewithcream]

Looking at it on the back of my hand (in the bathroom light, so that's probably not helping!) it's browner than it is plum, honestly. But not as warm as the swatches I had seen. I will try to take and upload a pic tomorrow in daylight. Right now, I wouldn't describe it as cool toned.

I am really loving EG. I applied it with a fan brush over DH but just high on the cheekbones & just a bit under my brow. Beautiful!!!!
