@CynthieLu I think it is dropping worldwide September 20. I can't even get on the Canadian Hourglass website. Not sure if it just a me problem?

[CynthieLu]

So.. true story lol.  I'm actively trying not to purchase this, I am telling myself I need to at least pan one of my ones from previous years. ( ...but dragon looks so good! ) But on Hourglass's site it goes right into my cart @Mellmars1185 is that not happening for you? Where are you getting into trouble? I am sure it's not on Sephora yet, I would not have missed it 😉

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu On one of my browsers when I go to the Hourglass site it asks me if I want to go to the Canadian site and then says it is invalid. Oh wow maybe this is a sign I should not buy it! The Dragon one does look pretty. Here is to panning!

[CynthieLu]

I have whittled them down considerably but none are close even to panning. I'm hoping I can stay strong and resist. It is kinda crazy cuz I use them practically daily and there is still so much left. 😅 @Mellmars1185 

Yes to panning! It's a goal always. 😉

FYI the Golden Rose quad is featured in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. $64. Again, all shades are repeats. 

Nice to have them together for travel for anyone loving them. A pass for me still. 😊

[Sunnysmom]

Well…! 😆 2 of em. 

[CynthieLu]

The one above looks so similar to Butterfly, just with a Bronzer. 🧐  You are so right @Sunnysmom I don't think we need this. I have Butterfly and Jelly Fish along with two bronzer singles. That's a fair bit of powder I should be working through. 

I'm sad about the higher prices, it's sooooo hard to see everything going up and up.

[Sunnysmom]

Yup we don’t @CynthieLu ! Ooh you have 2 of the great ones. Good mixes of all the shades. It’s so sad. Up and up they all go. Not ok! 

[CynthieLu]

I think it's silly. If all the companies price them selves high, I figure people's spending on thier products will go down. They are trying to make more but we'll end up losing so many more sales. @Sunnysmom it's sad 😭

[TraceyEB]

Saw this post for two 6-pan palettes.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @TraceyEB ! 🤗

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  I know you can't really tell for certain from the picture, but this one looks exclusively cool-toned, which is exciting to me!

[Sunnysmom]

It does look good @Ispend2much6 ! Kind of like Ghost way back when! 🤣 I need to compare this to what I have tho of course photos can trick us! How well we know that eh?! 🥹

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  Oops- exciting in a bad way for me for $90x Nope.

[Sunnysmom]

We can do without these @Ispend2much6 @blackkitty2014 @TraceyEB @WinglessOne @Titian06 @CynthieLu as 4/6 are repeats in Jellyfish and the bronzers in something else I forget what now. Money saved unless you don’t have those! Makes sense since the quad are the repeats too. A blush quad would be great however. Maybe, who knows if they’ll do one. But, my girl math now says I should just buy the Chanel Deep Mauve since I’ve saved all this money and it’s exactly the same price. 🤣🥹 Not smart, I’m waiting or trying to! )

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, thanks for pointing out the repeated shades. I have individual HG blushes and other finishing powders that I need to make a dent into, so easy pass for me. You mentioned Deep Mauve - I pick mine up tomorrow!

[Sunnysmom]

Excited for you @TraceyEB ! Same with me. So many HG that I truly love but they last forever. I may or may not have also caved last night! 🙃

[blackkitty2014]

Agree @Sunnysmom . Did they raise their price once again? Ugh

[Sunnysmom]

It’s ticking me off @blackkitty2014 ! Yet they know if we truly love something we will find a way tho hopefully with promos, notes, GCs! 

[WinglessOne]

@Sunnysmom  Yep. Anyone who has the Butterfly palette already has 3 of the shades in the new blush palette—and if you also have Diffused Heat as a single or in another palette, then you’ve got 4 of the 6 shades. And there are Jellyfish repeats too, as you mentioned. I haven’t even looked at details of the other new palette yet because I can tell (just by the promo photos) those are repeat shades. 😒 Eh, fine for folks who are new to Hourglass AB powders/blushes. Not for the rest of us, though. 

Those Chanel Les Beiges blushes look so pretty. The coral shade’s on my Nordstrom wishlist, in case I need something else to burn more Nordy Notes on. 😂

[Titian06]

Thanks, @WinglessOne and @Sunnysmom !  I have the Butterfly palette plus others.  I'll spend my money elsewhere.
