Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush (Mood Exposure): Review, Swatch, FOTD

Few weeks ago, I expressed my love at first buff with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Diffused Heat so in my recent trip to my local candy store a.k.a Sephora, I picked up Mood Exposure, the darkest shade in the collection.

Mood Exposure is described as soft plum but it appears bronzy rose on my medium skin tone. It is moderately-pigmented with barely-there luminous finish. 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush has that distinctive marbleized look. It reminds me of Laura Geller albeit finer and silkier in texture. The rosy-copper mirrored packaging, although a magnet for fingerprints (OC zilla), is very chic and modern.

Here's a side by side comparison with Diffused heat (bright poppy pink).

If you haven't tried any Hourglass products yet, I say start with the ambient lighting blush and expand your collection. This brand has become my go-to for finishing powder (Diffused Light, Dim Light) and foundation (Immaculate Liquid Powder). And with two blushes that got me swooned, you know I'm staying.

Moi in Mood Exposure.

      Yes, it' a brand that has strong cult following! The only one I didn't like so far is the liquid lippy

      I think you'll like this too! I think luminous flush makes a good illuminizer

    I want one of these so badly, but I'm stymied by the choices! Should I start with a blush or a finishing powder, and how do I know which one is best for me? aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

      Start w/ the blush Nidia. If you want more color payoff, go for the darker shades.

    Mood Exposure looks just glorious on you! This year is shaping up to be the year of blush and lips for me, so one of these might just eventually find its way to my vanity. Every time I look at them I keep getting stuck on Diffused Heat, so that will probably be the one I go for. :)

    I love the way these look! I always think that with swirly marbled products, the color doesn't always pay off. You've shown them off beautifully!
