Interesting, but it's expensive for the size.

Hi everyone! I went to the Hourglass store in Venice Beach and Katy there was fantastic! She gave me 7 deluxe size gifts even though I was wearing sweats and sneakers #thatengineerlife 😂💄 There was a mini of Incandescent strobing powder on its own but it was not available in the custom palette. I picked 2 minis of that and a custom palette with mood, diffused and etherial lighting powders. They made my day I am so happy 😍😍 Is the Incandescent in the palette and the strobe series the same, anyone swatched side by side? She said it was but I read otherwise. What do you think? Either way I am glad I drove hours to get there because it was an amazing experience. 

[Asche]

How amazing!! I'm glad you had a great time!! 😄

[aydasu]

Thank you Asche! Sorry for the late reply I just got home 😄

It's def not the same. I loved the palette for that shade but returned it since I didn't see the point of keeping it. When they released singles I was so excited to get my hands on it. But it seems like the strobing powders have more glitter to them which is unfortunate 

[aydasu]

Ahhh it was too good to be true 😄 I want less glitter too 😕

[Mcakes]

*phew* I'm not going crazy haha 😛

[aviscardi]

LOL yea i was pretty sad about that. I actually put both of mine up for sale/trade bc even though i liked them i wasn't wow'd to keep them. and missed the mark to return smh. i wanted more color less glitter

[Mcakes]

I'm so glad you had a good experience @aydasu ! The Incandescent in the palette is slightly less shimmery than the single IMO but if she's saying that it's the same then hey, what do I know right? Haha. 

[aydasu]

I had a feeling that she might be mistaken and I think you are right. This has more glitter. Ahhh I was so hopeful 😄

[YoiFran]

What an amazing gift!!! You got more products than the 1000 points Sephora Hourglass reward.

[aydasu]

LOL sad but true. And because of it I will be forever loyal to the brand. (looking at you sephora - rouge situation 😄 )

Hello HG lovers.

I am visiting LA area and I know there is a store there. I wanna go and pick up 3 Incandescent ALP (not the highlight but the LE one) in a trio palette. Is this even possible or am I dreaming? Could you please help? Thanks ❤️

[Mcakes]

I'm so excited for you @aydasu! Please post pictures if you can 😄 I'd give the Abbot Kinney store a call to see if you can add the Incandescent ALP. Here's their number: (310) 392-3409

[aydasu]

Oh my! Thank you so much! ❤️

[Asche]

I would love to see photos as well! I'll be living vicariously through you! 😄

AFAIK Incandescent isn't available in the custom trio palette. It's listed as a "palette exclusive" and not available in the website custom palette options, and the store will most likely be the same.

[aydasu]

Oh no! That is so heartbreaking. 😞

[Asche]

Awww that's too bad. I didn't realize it was exclusive. 😞

[Asche]

@aydasu If I'm not mistaken, you can create your own ALP palette at an Hourglass store. I think whatever you want put in it is up to you. If you only want Incandescent included then I don't see why they wouldn't/couldn't do that. 🙂

I could be wrong though, I haven't gotten to visit an actual Hourglass store (though I hope I can one day). 

[aydasu]

Thank you so much! Yes, I hope they say yes and I can be greedy. It is such a beauty. I hope you could visit soon. I bet it will be fun.
