For what it’s worth, Christine’s picture looks color accurate to me. That’s what Incandescent Electra looks like in my palette.

these are beautiful! I will never ever be able to stick to a no buy goal. I tell myself I don’t need anything and a beauty like this is displayed. Open wallet take out card…..but first I will wait for your review…. Hope it’s soon

I’m glad that Incandescent Electra is permanent because the shade work really well with my fair skin tone, but don’t read dull at all in pigmentation.
Now we need Incandescent Light added because dang, I LOVE that shade for an actually highlighter.

I felt that Radiant Light was pretty bronze on it’s own with the gold tone it takes one. 😉

Unless this product contains more product than the blushes or lighting powders, or does voodoo magic on my face… I do not think I could justify $50 for an hourglass bronzer. At that price, I’d rather spend a few extra dollars and get a Guerlain bronzer, which also has beautiful (finger-print free) packaging. Seriously, though, what makes this bronzer worth 50, yet the blushes are 35? Both have ambient lighting powder “swirled” into them.

Will you be reviewing these some time in the coming months? I am still curious though.

OK, so I REALLY, REALLY love the Hourglass radiant blush formula, and have been waiting for news of new, different colors as the current range is not diverse. Another light coral!? That was already released in a palette that everyone and their mom has!? Ugh.

I love luminous light powder (I am on my 3rd one) but I was less thrilled by the blush palette, so I think I shall wait for your reviews!

The 2 bronzers are going to be either too dark or too warm for me, but hope they get good reviews for those with deeper skintones. The peach blush looks pretty

Of course… it was inevitable. I wonder how many different ways they can keep stretching this line. Kinda still let down that all the blushes were so similar to each other. Let’s hope these bronzers pan out (pun intended).

Nicole Avatar

Hmm..my immediate reaction was awesome! My secondary reaction was..hold your horses and wait for swatches and reviews if Christine does them. If not, at least wait to see it in person. I have a drawer of bronzers that don’t see daylight. The blush, probably will be gorgeous. Hope to see reviews! 🙂

$50?! No, I’ve got my heart/budget set on the Marc Jacobs light filtering contour powder. I’ll just layer radiant light (which I already own) over that bronzer and call it a day. Looking forward to the review though. 🙂

Sarah Avatar

What on earth would justify that US $50 price tag for the bronzers? Don’t get me wrong, I think they look gorgeous, and they’d definitely be something I want to add to my collection, but the blushes alone in Australia are already around the AU $50 mark. You’d really want the bronzers to perform magnificently for the listed price.

I saw these at my sephora which I was really surprised to see….anyways they r super glittery… and when I swatched both the color difference wasn’t very much. I kept picking it up and looking at the names by they swatched almost identical! I even sent pics to my friend and she said there wasn’t a big difference between the 2. As a bronzer I wouldn’t want to put this all over…… and the price of $50 makes me not want it at all

I am SO looking forward to skin swatches! I use Radiant Light as a bronzer as-is, and didn’t buy Luminous Light because I understood it was more pink. I am very fair, so I am curious how both of these new bronzers will perform on fair skin!
