Hourglass Mood Exposure Ambient Lighting Blush: Review & Swatches

This is one pricey little blush, but *spoiler alert* it's worth every penny. The retail price is $35, so by far it is the most expensive blush I own.
.15 oz / 4.3 g

ingredients

sleek metallic packaging

Mood Exposure
Name is based on the ambient lighting powder mixed with blush tones.
Contains the mood light luminous powder.

  • Silky smooth powder, one of the finest milled blushes I own
  • Provides a soft glow, very natural flush to the cheeks
    • No harsh sparkles, enough glow to make it seem not flat matte
  • Flattering mauve
    • Looks good on every skintone
  • Each blush has a unique marbled pattern
  • Wears all day
    • I have no problem with fading
  • Very buildable
    • Not super intense when swatched
      • Packs a punch if using a dense brush, very soft product
Overall,
I looove this blush! I can't believe it took me so long to review it. I suggest going and swatching these for yourself, at least to admire the sheer delight swatching the color provides. This is a fairly expensive product, but a little does go quite a ways. If you want a fall blush, or even just an "everyday" blush, and you have the money to spare--do yourself a favor and check it out!

Mac Fleshpot Lipstick | Review + Swatches

Image
Mac lipsticks are a classic, and for me this one is a must have. Mac has raised the prices of their lipsticks overtime, and currently cost $17. They have a variety of finishes, and this one is a satin finish.  "Pale muted pinky- beige" according to mac Pulls more peach on me Can be worn alone, mixed to lighten, or in the center of lips to highlight I love this lipstick even alone, but I know not everyone would like this Screenshot from my latest video about some of my favorite lipsticks Not as dry as a mac matte, but still enough so that it wears a long time Can be built up or worn less intense Overall, Not every person nor every skintone can pull this color off, but personally I like it. On me, it's slightly a "concealer lips" color, but that shade is the look some desire. The formula is also very nice, if I wore this more I would try to find a dupe. There may be some listed online in-case the price does not seem reasonabl

There are many contour options from single shades, palettes, powder, cream, but rarely do they cater to fair skin tones. This cream contour palette is in the shade fair, retailing for $40. There are three highlight shades in the top row, and three contours in the lower row. Cruelty free Sleek packaging After watching With flash No flash For a video demo:  https://youtu.be/jXuu8vNIljs The consistency is creamy but on the drier side Can mix with a facial oil if desired Still blends out very easily on its own I usually apply with my fingertips to desired areas and then blend out with a beauty blender Soft Light is a more peachy pink "pale peach" toned concealer / highlight Lustre is an iridescent clear shimmer "sheer porcelain" Not my favorite shade since it is not intense enough as a highlight and the product still needs to be set in place Fair is more yellow toned "pure sand" and is concealer toned on my skin F
