There is plenty other great highlighters which are just as good if not better ;)
I'm aware of this lol but I have makeup OCD. there's no other way to explain wanting a certain product so bad when there are clearly better subs and dupes lol
 Hourglass is still selling out of the powders? Do you have a Sephora where you live? It would just suck for you to pay so much for not even full size products :(
Hourglass was sold out of all but 2 the last time I looked. You know what sucks the most about it? I'm a traveling makeup artist now so around Christmas I was in the houston area and actually saw it in bulk-like 20 of them out for sale at sephora, along with the nars blush palette I also regrettably skipped, and swatched them thinking oh silly hourglass...who would want this for $58? Then later in the week, another artist had it so I actually TRIED it on a model and the search began! Lol I went back to the same sephora that day and every one of them was gone. Lesson learned: if you glance at it twice, buy it! I was actually lucky enough to secure the palette at a reasonable price tonight so hopefully all goes well with that and it lands here where it belongs. I'm looking to get rid of all my msfs except lightscapade and use this palette only for highlighting to save space.

Incandescent Light is a beautiful highlighter but Dim is more of a setting powder (for those darker than me). I wear Radiant Light as a blush. I wouldn't consider this palette, as much as I like it, as a replacement for a bunch of individual highlighters, Luminous Light is also a very nice highlighter and it's full size.

I'm glad you found it It's always nice to get something you've wanted for a while. :) I do agree with Audrey's comment above though.

Well I still have some other highlighters I love but I'd like to rid myself of the msfs 100% I always drop them and it makes a huge mess that I usually don't have time to clean up. Also, on sets with flash the palette is excellent because of the setting properties it has and the fact that the shimmer is so small. I'm also a big fan of palettes in general. It's an addiction I'm fighting. Lol I have to ask though, is it not "all that" to you all? I've been watching reviews and I've used the palette once but I'm wondering if over time there's any issues with it I'm overlooking?

I'm not going to lie. I love incandescent. I actually am still holding out hope that they make a full size. I have tons and tons of highlighters and while I love them all, incandescent is definitely one of my favorites. I have luminous light which is gorgeous, but it's quite different from incandescent. I can wear luminous all over the face because of how subtle it is, incandescent is a true highlight where I just put it on the high points of my face.

I can't decide. I guess I'll have to wait until I get to a Sephora to see what I like. I'm thinking LL???

LL is gorgeous. I never thought I'd wear it over the whole face but they had a hourglass trainer on store when I bought it and she put it all over for a subtle glow and it was gorge!

YAY! My delivery date is a complete mystery.. The only update I've got is that it was sent to an international processing center. It should be here this week or next week at the latest!
I hope it reaches you this week because I don't know about you but I'm impatient lol!

Thank you! I'm so impatient.. haha. Once I checkout I just want it to magically appear. Maybe someday in the future that will be a reality!

I love ordering from MAC because I know it will be there in a few short days. With Sephora, you just never know. At least it will be sooner than the in-store launch! I really hope I have it before my birthday next Wed but we'll see.

My Luminous Flush from SpaceNK got here yesterday! For whatever reason they didn't send Diffused Heat, which I also ordered :p But here some quick pics that I took last night just before it got too dark to see:





Radiant Magenta and Mood Exposure are scheduled to arrive today from Sephora (weee!)
