There are few makeup brands that get me as excited as HOURGLASS Cosmetics, and when they launch new products it's always a cause for celebration, in my view. They have just launched their NEW HOURGLASS Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush formula, in 4 stunning shades, and two new shades of their already iconic HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Bronzer, and they are absolutely breathtaking. I am currently testing and swatching them, and will post my full review very soon, but I can already tell you that it's true love! I have two of their four new blushes and both of their new bronzers, and I am very impressed by their finish, finely milled textures and gorgeous luminous shades. Here is a sneak peek for your enjoyment!
HOURGLASS Ambient® Strobe Lighting Blush ($38.00 for .15 oz. from HOURGLASS Cosmetics, Space NK, Barneys New York, Sephora, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Net-A-Porter, Liberty London and Blue Mercury): This captivating hybrid blush combines the illuminating effects of Ambient® Strobe Lighting Powder with breathtakingly modern hues to instantly brighten cheeks for seamless, glowing, lit from within color.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
• The airy, lightweight blushes fuse the illuminating effects of Ambient® Strobe Lighting Powder with an array of vivid cheek colors to amplify blush to a new level.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
