When Hourglass sent me the product information for their new Ambient Lighting Blush line, I became so excited that I could not contain my glee. My penchant for gorgeous blush and Hourglass products is united in this very exciting new range of blushes. I selected Ethereal Glow because nothing makes my heart go pitter patter faster than cool-toned pink blushes. I am counting the days and stalking my mailman, and can hardly wait to present it to you!
Discover a new way to blush: this groundbreaking hybrid combines the customized lighting effects of ambient lighting powder with a spectrum of breathtakingly modern hues. The result is seamless, soft-focus and multidimensional color.
Product Claims:
• Hourglass has fused Ambient Lighting Powder, the cutting-edge collection of finishing powders, with an array of vivid cheek colors, creating a hybrid product that is unique, contemporary and revolutionary.
• Unlike traditional blush, which tends to be flat, Ambient Lighting Blush uses Photoluminescent Technology to exhibit depth and dimension.
• The airy, lightweight powders contain optically transparent particles that amplify the colors to a multi-dimensional level— effectively reinventing the way you view blush.
• The state-of-the-art formula means that its full potential is only displayed on application.
• The hand-made powders are formulated using an advanced miscelare technique—which means “to mix” in Italian— creating the perfect balance of pigment and powder, and no two look alike.
• Delivers a radiant natural finish and offers buildable color.
• Ambient Lighting Blush is designed to be paired with Ambient Lighting Powder. Using the two products together imbues the entire complexion with an otherworldly glow.
• The six shades, which range from soft coral to cool pink, are a wardrobe of captivating accent lights for cheeks.
• Free of parabens, talc, fragrance, nanoparticles and gluten. No Animal Testing.

I am very curious about these blushes, they look gorgeous! I can't wait for you to review it on the blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Momo! I agree! I cannot wait to try them out. Ethereal Glow has captured my heart! I can't wait to review it!!
DeleteOh gosh, Ethereal Glow and Luminous Flush??? Too pretty! My cheeks look all the time like
ReplyDeletethey have been painted in Diffused Heat which prevents me from enjoying the world of blushes :(
Precisely the two that are captivating me!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see them in person! Did you ever determine whether the redness is Rosacea?
DeleteI never did, actually. I have the bad habit of never going to the doctor until someone has to take me while I am unconscious. I need, as you suggested, to sort that out. But alas, I really detest going to any kind of doctor. :(
DeleteI suspect that you might learn a great deal, and find some easy solutions as well!
DeleteI can't wait to get my hands on Ethereal Glow (and others). I promised no more blushes but I can't resist these.
ReplyDeleteEthereal Glow is definitely the one that I want the most, but Luminous Flush is also beckoning me!! I'm with you-- I certainly don't "need" another pink blush, but there's no way that I can resist these!
DeleteWOW!! These are going to be a HUGE hit. I can already tell from your gushing :-). Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI agree-- I think that these will rise to cult status in no time! I haven't ever been this excited about a blush, and I still haven't even received mine! I will be sure to review it quickly!
