The Beauty Post | Hourglass Ambient Light Palette

L-R | Dim Light, Incandescent Light, Radiant Light

it's not often that i'll blog about something as soon as i get it, but i just couldn't resist this beauty - the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette. i was lucky enough to get this as an early christmas present from my best girl Ellie who picked it up for me in America after i mentioned how desperate i was for it and i was instantly in love.

the Dim Light shade has been on my high end beauty wish list for as long as i can remember, and when Hourglass launched the full palette this year i knew i had to get my hands on it somehow as the shades in it are so different. 

Dim Light is a gorgeous everyday highlighting shade, and is a lot more subtle than the highlighters i already own. i also love that all of these shades are nowhere near as shimmery as other products i own which can be a bit overwhelming for an everyday look. this almost verges on an almost rose gold tone, too, which is always a winner with me!

Incandescent Light is the closest to the usual type of shade i would pick out to highlight, but it more peachy than cream based in colour than the rest of my collection. i'll definitely use this more in evening looks when i'm after a bit more of a dramatic look. 

Radiant Light i'm not quite sure how i'm going to use yet, mainly because i'm super pale and i think this might look a little bit OTT as a highlighter on me. i might attempt using it as a blush, possibly, but i am now heading off to look for some more blogger reviews to see how people have used it.
