Velvet Story Lip Cream: Hourglass Velvet Story Lip Cream

@Tamara76 YOU at least have a good excuse 😉. 

[AlannaM620]

I’ve never bought from Hourglass, but I’m looking to start. I’m very intrigued by the Hourglass Vanish™ Seamless Finish Foundation Stick 1.5 Cream and really want to buy it. What are your thoughts? Also, can anyone who has tried the bronzers and other complexion products tell me about them?

[Sunnysmom]

@AlannaM620 I happen to love many products from Hourglass. The blush and bronzers are among my very favorites and I use them daily. They blend beautifully and the mix of highlighter and subtle powder is magical I think. Soft and buildable colors with the latest At Night blush the most dramatic contrast. Luminous blush is my go to! Perfect flush of color with healthy glow.  I’m light coloring and can still use different bronzers. Blend nicely. Same with highlighter powders, eyebrow , eye liner, lip and creme highlighter stick. The foundation stick is one product I actually do not use as it’s a bit heavier coverage than I go for but I’m sure many others like it and can speak to it! 🤗

I wish they made the quad available early too. Then again, I've gone on a low-buy as of today so it's probably for the best. I shouldn't get it anyway. 😅

[blackkitty2014]

I’m passing both palettes this year too. Too much repeating plus I hate Mood Exposure 😂🤣. Unless they release new blush quad then .... 😂🤣 I will pick up At Night blush during this year sale though @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

Yup @blackkitty2014 ! Good plan. Agree Mood E is a bust 🤣. I had to get the quad because I love the blush so much but not getting the palette this year. Too repetitive for what I have thankfully! Love the dark lip tho and may pick that up during sale also! Little favors. 😂

I am looking forward to the new lipsticks but I am going to pass on the palettes this year. I am holding off on the two new blushes (At Night, Sublime Flush ...did not get Sublime Flush in a palette before) because I am just hoping they end up as minis or in a blush palette. I would love to order a custom blush palette from Hourglass. It would be great if they ever started doing that again, but this time with blushes or even all their powders, not just the ambient lighting powders.

[MvLL]

Oh I remember looking at HG's custom palette. Wasn't it a trio, for around 70 ?  And yes, it could (& should) return with all the HG 1.4gm sized Powders, not just the ALP's. Ghost & Edit multi-pan palettes aren't appealing, as I'd ignore 1 or 2 shades.

[gingerleigh]

Yes @MvLL  I ended up picking up the quad but I would rather not get any more 6 pans. The quad is so pretty. I love the lipsticks in this collection.

[ashacroo]

I wonder why they released this but not the edit palette? Is it because it’s a repromote of shades in the unlocked palette?

[gingerleigh]

The quad would have been much more of a temptation @ashacroo 

[Taradise15]

Absolutely love Film Noir, there is no better mascara out there. The same cannot be said for their other mascaras. I really hoped to love the new tubing mascara but that was a huge let down 😞 

Also love the ambient highlighter and mineral veil but who doesn't 😉

New Hourglass Holiday Collection - I believe it arrives at Sephora on 9/25.

[Harobedb]

I was looking for swatches, and came across a lady who does a good job (including comps from previous HG palettes.) Nice video! HTH someone. 🙂

[MCSSavvy]

@Harobedb  -- I like some of her videos.  She is thorough.  Also "Hey It's Jacqueline" and Kinkysweat just put up their video's.  Jacqueline has 2 up about the collection.  I'm almost tempted by the swatches on the 6 pan but again, I don't wear bronzer so that brings me down to 2 new shades.  Definitely going to grab the lipstick duo though.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @Harobedb that is a very helpful video especially where she shows all the comparison swatches! 🥰

[WinglessOne]

@MCSSavvy  Now that I know the quad contains no new shades, I can easily pass on it. I'm still not convinced Mood Flush will work on my skin tone, and I'm very annoyed that Hourglass isn't showing new swatches or a full look on a model with a deep skin tone. I've complained about Hourglass's swatches many times before, mainly for the unrealistic portrayal on deeper skin tones. (A few other brands commit the same crime.) I mean, I don't expect the finishing powders to be very pigmented, but bronzers and blushes should pack some pigment. I've looked for people's swatches of Mood Flush many times and gosh, you'd be surprised (or maybe not) how few there are on deep/dark skin. One year, I almost bought the Unlocked palette just so I could get some accurate swatches out onto the internet, to help other folks with my skin tone. 🙄 

Anyway... yeah, that's money I'll be saving. 

I already wasn't interested in the 6-pan because there's nothing in there I want or can use on my skin tone. I kinda hate Mood Exposure: it's too pale and chalky on my face. I don't need the other 5 shades: either already have 'em or know they won't work for me. Again, more money for me, yay! 😂
