Velvet Story Lip Cream: Hourglass Velvet Story Lip Cream

@ireneh No reason to think other retailers wont get it eventually. It appears to me that Barneys gets Hourglass products earlier than others and sometimes have the exclusive for a while before broader distribution (recent cream palette and previous modernist eyeshadows come to mind).

Thank you @lipstick4soul !

An awesome Nordstrom SA showed me the catalog. The price on there was $62 though, for both during and after the sale. I didn't think of asking to take pictures, but else there was a CT set with the instant face palette & mascara, a TF set with a lipstick, a mini frosted glass bottle (primer?), and mascara. Also tons of other sets by Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Trish McEvoy, Supergoop, MAC, NARS etc etc but i don't really remember much. Sorry!

Oh yes I'm so excited! I haven't bought any of the blushes or bronzers yet so this is perfect! 

[Mcakes]

You're the best, thanks @veronika23!

Updated with sneak peek of Luminous Light Palette!

[AnneMCC]

Does anyone know if this is exclusive to Nordstrom, at least maybe for now? Or will it be out later at other stores? I als resisted the 2015 holiday palette but I have the blush palette and love it. I use it every day. So debating whether I need to grab this at Nordstrom or wait if it's coming out elsewhere...

[Mcakes]

@AnneMCC According to Temptalia it's a LE Nordstrom Exclusive but if I had to guess it's probably only LE to them for a limited time. They did the same thing with their eyeshadow palette with Barneys but now it's everywhere. 

If you really want it and don't want to risk missing out on it get it from Nordies. If you want to roll the dice...

[AnneMCC]

@Mcakes thanks! 

[begonia46]

Thanks for updating!  Got excited then I realized it was luminous flush - hasn't that blush been in every palette? 

[Mcakes]

Luminous Flush has been in the past 2 LE palettes (Ambient Blush and The Edit)! It is really pretty though so there's that 😛 This is the Orgasm of Hourglass

[begonia46]

It is nice but that is why I bought  the full size :(, and then the blush palette.  Luckily I resisted their holiday 2015 palette.  Don't know if I will be able to resist this one since I've been wanting to try the bronzer. 

[Mcakes]

I totally get it 😕 I never bought the bronzer because I was hoping they would put together a palette like they did for the powders and blushes but they never did. I think I might pick this up or wait until they let us customize a palette with whatever we want in it not just the powders!

@Mcakes @purly You guys probably already know this, but I haven't seen it posted anywhere yet (just the sneak peek before we knew what was going to be in it)... Hourglass finally made the custom Ambient Lighting Palette available online -exclusively online and the Abbot Kinney store!! The price is $70 and you can choose 3 shades from the original ambient lighting shades: Diffused Light (my favorite!), Dim Light, Ethereal Light, Luminous Light, Mood Light, and Radiant Light. I was so excited when I got the email for this the other week... wanted to share then, but, as usual, I never seem to be able to find the thread I'm looking for when I need it! Am I the only one that seems to be incapable of making the search feature work on BT?!?! 😄 

[Mcakes]

I would love to be able to fully customize a palette to the size of what The Edit was!

Sorry to be responding so late to this@purly ! The Illume Sheer Color Trio is fantastic. I even had it's predecessor which was a duo of the blush and bronzer without the highlight and that was wonderful. The bronzer has neutral undertones and the blush is just your perfect healthy glow shade. Highly recommend!
