I just recently bought my second Hourglass eyeshadow palette and I love it! I have Monochrome and Infinity now.
I was interested in Monochrome, but a lot of reviews said that the pigmentation was lacking. How do you find it? I finally picked up Exposure and I'm really liking it. Even the really shimmery shade doesn't have much fallout on me and I find the colours last quite well.

Infinity definitely has more pigment to it than Monochrome. Also, I have pink toned skin and I think the pinks in Monochrome blend in more than the browns in Infinity do. Monochrome is still worth buying, imo.

Monochrome reminds me a lot of Naked 3 without the shimmer, and has just as much pigment.

The bronzer is up on Sephora. The pics look very similar so it is hard to distinguish the colors. I'm wondering if I have to search for the "perfect" one like I did the blushes. How do I know which one is best? Do I need more bronzer color or more highlighter color? I may have to wait to check this one out in stores.

Ugh I just dropped a whole bunch of money on the new Kat Von D stuff. I guess it's good that the sale is coming up, I'll wait till then lol. Although I really would rather go swatch the bronzers first because I don't want to get one and not like it. Decisions...

Thanks! I wish the lighting wouldn't have been so bright because I couldn't really see the color but the review was glowing so that's always good. I ordered both today. I'm nowhere near fair, I'm around NC35 so let's see if both show up on my skin.

I bought my first hourglass item today, the ambient palette. I'm not quite sure how to use it. I'm used to not so subtle highlighting like becca opal, ud luminous etc so will I like this? It's more of a subtle finishing powder right?

Yep, they are more like finishing powders, but there is one shade in the palette that's more luminous that you could use for very subtle highlighting.

I use dim light all over, radiant instead of a blush or more like a bronzer to warm up complexion and the third one as highlighter

Ahhhhh. I can't decide if I wanna pick up one or not! I really wanna swatch in store. Hopefully these make an appearance in my store for the sale. :/

I just got my bronzers in and upon initial swatches, they are gorgeous. Definitely not necessary to own both... I mean, I'm going to keep both because I'm a hoarder like that but they arent vastly different, especially in terms of depth. The Suns already going down so I couldn't take great pictures. I plan on taking better pictures for my blog tomorrow. Upon initial swatching, luminous pulls more yellow and radiant pulls a little more red/orange on my skin.... But it's subtle once applied.

Looking at the screen: left is radiant, right is luminous.

Mood Exposure blush and Radiant Light turn orangey on me, so I'll definitely have to try these out in person first. I'm hoping to go to the Hourglass boutique in Venice Beach this or next month.
