I have been dying to try the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders for some time now, but hadn’t gotten around to it until my inbox tickled me with an exciting release: a new Ambient Lighting Palette, featuring a new, never-released shade, enticingly called “Incandescent Light”. Along with Dim Light and Radiant Light, and the 5ml freebie Veil Mineral Primer in the set, I could barely contain my enthusiasm.
Having tested the palette out fully, my enthusiasm was well warranted. This is a fantastic palette for those who set their makeup with powder- not just because the ambient lighting powders are the best darn setting powders out there (and make you look as if you walk around in perfect lighting, 24/7), but because you get to experiment with 3 equally beautiful, yet equally different shades. I prefer Dim light for most everyday looks as it lacks any shimmer. Incandescent Light is beautiful for date nights or nights on the town with the girls. Radiant Light warms up my pale complexion just slightly, when I’m feeling tired or the slightest bit ill.
I think this is the perfect holiday gift for that loved one who loves makeup.

Aw maybe there is a hope for me to win this palatte?….?
Ah! Thank you so much for this giveaway, Kristina! I love your reviews and think you do a great job of being thorough and honest. I’ve never tried Hourglass before, simply because their products are too expensive for me, but I always admire them when I shop in Sephora! I’d LOVE to enter this giveaway – this product is totally my kind of thing. Thanks again! (I’m a youtube subscriber under yabookcase and check your videos every week!)
This looks like a lovely product! Excited to hear about Hourglass now. BTW- Still loving your new hair so much! Fabulous 🙂
beautiful palette, hope to win
OMG! Would love to win this!! Love your blog & you tube channel:)
Thank you for introducing me to Hourglass!
hey…..i live in houston too. may be we will see each other some day and i would love to win this pallete.
I typically don’t enter giveaways but I am lusting over this . My plan for today is to drink coffee and hang out at the book store for a few hours .
This palette is gorgeous!!!
Love your blog, Olivia
Would love to try an Hourglass product!! Thanks for sharing!

I would love to win this! Who wouldn’t want to walk around in perfect light all day?Great giveaway!
This is a beautiful palatte!1
This has been on my list! I’d love to win it. Thanks Kristina 🙂
I have had my eye on these powders for a while, but never have been able to put the money down for one/would never be able to decide which one I would want! This palette would definitely help me in the choosing department, being 3 in 1! Have you tried any of the other shades?
I have heard such great things about this palette. I would love to be the lucky winner! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
i have 2 backups of the veil primer.
i’m subscribed to your youtube channel as jcjccmz.
Another great review! Wonder if you could use the powder trio for light contouring, or are the shades too subtle?I have to admit, I always pause your videos to admire your gorgeous wedding ring set {haha} ~ it’s just so ‘pretty, shiny, sparkly’… 🙂

kimpcole{at}att{dot}net
Hi Kim! These aren’t pigmented enough for contouring – which is a blessing in disguise, because you can be heavy handed without looking like a crazy person. And when you try these you’ll want to be heavy handed–they’re THAT good.
I love your new haircut! I’d love to win!
Oh I really want to try this palette – fabulous! I am a youtube subscriber and a facebook follower.
I would love the chance to win!! This is out of my reach as i am a poor college student 🙁 thanks!
Thank you so much for the opportunity! I really enjoy your blog and have learned so much from you. At my age a “diffused” look is paramount and haven’t found that “one”!
I would love to win this. I love watching your videos (reading your posts too but the vids are my fave) Thanks for sharing!
I was a little hesitant to try these powders but like you said, this trio seems like the perfect way to dabble in.

I absolutely love your reviews!

I think it’s beautiful! I think my 40 year old face could use it!! Thanks for doing this giveaway!!
Your YouTube channel brought me here! 🙂 I always look forward to the amazing videos you put out. You’ve led me to purchase many products that hadn’t yet made it into my collection (as sparse as it may be). I’ve been looking at these powders, but the price is just out of budget for me. With two young children in the house, personal splurges are few & far between. I was compelled to enter this amazing giveaway in hopes of owning this beauty!
Love this! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!Jonna
I’ve heard a lot about these powders, but haven’t tried them yet. I like the idea of getting all 3 in a palette.
What a nice palette. Of course I would LOVE to win. Thanks for the opportunity
Yay. I almost bought this the other day. I will hold off since I will most likely win this. haha. Wishful thinking.
I would love to try this palette!! I LOVE your blog!! 🙂
Woah! As a pale person I know I don’t have to tell you that it is difficult to find a good powder so this is amazing. Of course I subscribe to your YouTube channel and stalk you on Bloglovin!

Love your blog and videos! Thanks for the honest reviews! Excited to enter (guess I won’t buy it just yet – I’ll see if I’m a winner)!
It would be amazing to win this pallette.♡ I always wanted to try the hourglass powders but, unfortunately, I can’t get them in my country. Thank you so much for this incredible giveaway ♡.

I recently got this palette, too, because I thought it was a much more justified way of trying out the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders. I’m still playing around with it but love it so far, too. Completely agree with you about Dim Lighting… there’s just something special about it. Thanks for sharing!!

I love these powders. I have a full size of one of the other shades and i love it. They don’t leave that powdery look that regular translucent powders do.
I am sitting in my free time after my two babies under two are in bed (for a short period of time) and thinking about how this palette would actually help my tired looking face!
Dreamt about this palette last night… Sweet dreams!!
Love the colors in this palette, I want <3
