Mine arrived with verrrryy little color so they are already winging their way back to Sephora. I may give them another try if I find myself somewhere I can choose my own in the future.

 Okay, here's my take. I LOVE my Ambient palette. It was a nice introduction to trying out the powders. Now that its not available for retail value and people are selling it for $150 PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT FOR THAT MUCH! It is just not worth it girl. Just buy the powders separate! The powders are retailed for $45, 3x that is $135! Why in the world would you pay $150?! Plus there is less product in the palette! (each shade in the palette is 0.116 oz. , compare that to 0.35  oz. for a regular powder!). The powders may be out of stock at the moment but they always restock, remember these products are permanent! Only one shade is not permanent in the palette however the Etheral Light powder is a dupe to it like others say! Trust me I swatched them together and they are VERY similar! Please take this advice, I hate to see people spend money they don't have to. I hope this helps.

Thank you! I did find it for a much more bearable price so it worked out in the end lol I'm a palette fiend so that's really why I didn't just grab them separately.

Ah forgive me then! I guess I shouldn't have solely went based on swatching in store. They translate differently when applied properly right? But none the less $150 is ridiculous for the palette!

Agreed..I haven't spent so much on makeup since buying a metal rock for almost $200.

Uhh, when you are prone to dropping things, you will need to be extra careful with the ambient palette, because one drop and powders are shattered, they are very very fragile >.< So the palette is not good for traveling if it gets tossed around in luggage.

Wednesday delivery now Saturday will call at my local UPS. I didn't even know they are open on Saturday for a few hours. If my order didnt get changed from Tues to Wed will call would not be necessary! I better love Mood Exposure or my mood will certainly be exposed!

Just ordered radiant magenta, hopefully it'll be a good mix. I was going to try to wait to see in store but that's just way too far away lol.

I was trying to find a girl that was wearing Surrat lip crayon in P.O.C. & came across this blog. She is gorgeous! & she has a lot of fantastic pics & reviews. There was also something about the hourglass blushes.

THIS!

It's so refreshing to see a beauty blogger with an imaginative writing style. Rather than: "Like, I liked this because it was soooo prettyyy. And this? SO pretty. Oh this here? Very cute.. and also pretty."

It drives me absolutely insane. Reviews from Specktrettes speaking off the cuff are more eloquent and helpful than posts from people who run a blog and (theoretically) proofread before publishing..

Also.. I saw a YouTuber who buys every BBW item ever produced and proceeds to haul all of them on camera.. while smelling them and describing the scent notes. Uh? No comprende. How is that a productive use of anyone's time? Lol. Don't even get me started on YouTube "beauty gurus"..

My Dim Infusion and Radiant magenta arrived today. Dim has more highlighter than blush color but based on the finger swatch I did, it should still be a light peach when applied. I'm going to wear this tomorrow so I'll update then. Radiant Magenta has more blush than highlighter. This is one that will require a light hand, a little will go a long way. Diffused heat arrives tomorrow. I'm very curious to see what that looks like. I have several ambient light powders including dim and diffused (I love them both) so I don' t need these powders with only a little blush swirled in. If they don't live up to expectations, back they go.

My Radiant Magenta and Mood Exposure arrived today. Still no word from SpaceNK on what happened to Diffused Heat, so I went ahead and ordered that from Sephora too (hasn't shipped yet). So here are the ones I've got so far. Left to right (and top to bottom on the swatches): Radiant Magenta, Mood Exposure, Luminous Flush





They're under indoor light, unfortunately, but I'll try to get some in natural light tomorrow if I get home early enough. Radiant Magenta and Luminous Flush are actually a little similar - Luminous is cooler-toned and has less shimmer. All of mine came with quite a lot of color in them so I'm very happy!
