Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palettes for Spring 2015
Hourglass can make me lust after anything they make even if its an eyeshadow palette! 😛
Wow! These look gorgeous- especially loving Infinity and Exposure!
oh my goodness i love hourglass. atmosphere looks like the most luxurious neopolitan ice cream!
Oh my, they’re so pretty to look at!
Oh my God, these are gorgeous.
Literally drooling!! This is so fresh and absolutely GORGEOUS! Very pricey for my budget but if it’s good… what a worthwhile splurge. Do you plan to review any of these, Christine?
They’re each like a little compact of fine art, but I don’t think I’d want to use an eyeshadow palette where the colors are all mashed together like that… They call it “effortless blending”, but I think that’s just a prettier way of acknowledging that it’s just going to be a muddy mess after the first couple uses…
The Too Faced duos were made like this and they never got muddy
Well, there goes my no-buy for 2015 – it lasted 6 days. I want ALL of these!
I was thinking the same thing. But it does day permanent.
OMGOOODDDDD!!!!!!!!!! I want to keep to a $100 per month budget at Sephora but how am I going to do that with all these Spring pretties launching! These are so gorgeous. So different, not the same old, same old palettes. Works of art.
Gorgeous palettes, love the design! I totally want Monochrome now.
obscura looks like it would make some gorgeous smokey eyes! my first pick 🙂
Infinity and Color Field are literally the only two I’m not wetting myself over. Please tell me you’re going to be swatching all of these.
I love Hourglass, but I like my shadows to be in separate pans. This looks like it could get messy and muddy after a while. And if the shimmer mixes with the mattes, that’s not good. And since the surface of the shadow is wavy and bumpy, I wonder if it’ll affect the application? At least 3 of the 7 palettes look heavy on the brown shadows, but at least they have a warm neutral and a cool neutral palette. Since I have enough brown shadows to last me 10 years, I’m mostly interested in the plum and greens, will be interesting to see how they swatch!
I agree! I’m so glad I don’t love these!
My daughter has the palette that was a Barneys exclusive in her kit….she has used it on numerous clients and it has yet to become muddy and the waves have no effect on application. Each shade within the pan is uniform in color.
Good to know!! Thank you
Ahh, The Smokey palette is calling my name! I wonder how well these shades will work since they are all in one pan…
Pretty but impractical.
These are going to be very interesting. Looking forward to the ulta sleek packaging and I especially love the shade combos!
OMG…. drool! It looks so nice! But since its all together as one solid, when you eventually hit pan on a color, will the product starts to crack? My friend’s Urban Decay bronzer / blush compact broke when she hit pan on the blush, and everything just cracked 🙁
But this still looks amazing!!!! Can’t wait to see a review and see it in stores!
My inner completionist says get all of them. Graphite and Monochrome really drew my eye. I’m going to need swatch tests and to look at these in person. The patterns are a work of art.
Thank God these are permanent. I can adore them from a distance while I wait for my next Sephora Friends and Family coupon to come in.
Oh em geeeee
Monochrome and Exposure look absolutely gorgeous! *speaks to self* are you SURE the no-buy has to be THIS year???
Of course I like the plum one and the Graphite.
well duh.. 🙂
The grays in the Graphite one just look too blue for me, but I’m not confident that I’m going to be able to talk myself out of the plum one (Exposure).
I keep telling myself that, even if I *don’t* already own the equivalent of every one of those shades as singles, I don’t wear plums every time I wear eyeshadow, so it would be a waste of money.
Really.
My wallet just burst into tears!
Lol!
Some of these are really pretty but I’m just not a fan of palettes where the colors are not separated from each other. I don’t think I’ll be purchasing these because of that.
They are pretty to look at. Can’t wait to see how they perform.
What a coincidence that you should post this, Christine. I just saw these palettes on Sephora’s website with a “coming soon” alert at the top. I wondered when their previous eyeshadow duos – I have Dune and nearly got Gypsy, which I know you have – but then suddenly, they were gone – all of the duos, GONE. I figured for sure they’d be launching a whole new line of shadows. I wasn’t expecting anything like this, though, and from what I saw at the Sephora site, even the grey and “cool” palettes seem to have a pretty warm golden shade in them. Not sure if these will excite me enough to hand over $67 CDN for them. I’m glad I’ve got Dune though – it has 2 fabulous shades which seem like they might be replicated in the Infinity (olive) palette. I need to get that duo out and use it a bit more…
I need to see a review of these– I have enough e/s, but man if these aren’t gorgeous!
Google it, they’ve been around awhile. There are great swatches and examples of how the palettes work which will help all the questions and assumptions. 😀
Oh my lord, this is perfection.
Omg hourglass is evil for coming out with these right after the holidays! Love color field, exposure and obscura. Can’t wait for the reviews.
OOOOO MAJORLY INTRIGUED! I was able to sit the first one out because I don’t use matte shades all that much, but there are at least three here that I’d love to own!
which 3 sunny? pretty sure we’re both lusting after Color Field (olive)!
You’re right, Joyce! I’m eyeing Color Field, Exposure, and Graphite!
Haha, SNAP! Exactly the same as me 😉
These won’t be available at Sephora?
Going to keep an eye on these–love the color schemes and idea so far.
Availability: January 18th at Sephora (early access for VIB Rouges, no specific date given),
Heehee, birthday present to myself!
Today, January 11th for VIB Rouges. I already have the Infinity palette and just bought the Exposure palette today. Now I’m lusting after Graphite and Obscura, though Obscura seems to have very dupable shades.
These really look lovely. I think I would want to swatch them in person before I bought any though. If I were to get one it would probably be Monochrome or Atmosphere. They speak to me the most.
As of today, Sephora says they are only available online. But that could be because they’re exclusive to VIB Rouges at the moment.
Atmosphere for sure … These are so pretty. I wonder how Hourglass eyeshadows rate … I don’t own anything from this brand.
WOW I saw the first palette Atmosphere a few months back in the fall (but it might have been Infinity). There are so many colours here now! I’m hoping there is not issue with the shades because it’s really hard to do baked eyeshadows in different formulas together like this.
Although non of them really screams a mush have shades wise for me and my fairs skin i do like the looks of the Monochrome palette.
Oh wow, these are insanely pretty. I’m loving the atmosphere and monochrome one.. Even though I usually prefer my eyeshadows seperate from another. Hmm…
I would love to lust after these, and in a way I’m super excited, but i just can’t handle the weird merging of the colours like that. If they had made each colour in separate pans in the palette i’d be all over them.
I really love Exposure although the palettes seem pretty impractical.
Monochrome and Exposure are so pretty—not really sure though how practical this design is….I foresee a big ole’ mess on my hands around mid-pan.
Goodbye, money! This is one of those cases where I just need to figure out the order in which I want them, rather than figuring out what I do and don’t want. Question- Is it possible that the descriptions of Color Field and Infinity are reversed?
These sure look beautiful! Excited about seeing them swatched and all of that x
They are totally gorgeous. But way too much brown and mauve for me. I guess my wallet is happy. The graphite one looks like the only one with colors I could wear.
Okay, this is odd – I just looked at Sephora’s site and they have Colour Field listed as the olive collection, Obscura as cool neutrals, etc. I think they’re very mixed up (annoying if you are going to order online and you get the wrong stuff). The one they “say” has a pink shade it in (perhaps Obscura) doesn’t have ANY pink shadow when you click on the pic that is supposed to be that palette. I know they had 2 Bare Minerals quads mixed up (they’d swapped the photos so the photos were wrong). I posted about it in my review of The Designer Label and may have even emailed them about it and they did correct it but, honestly, could you imagine ordering one of these – they’re not cheap – expecting cool neutrals and receiving, instead, the olives or warm earth tones (certainly lovely but not what you’d been led to believe you’d be getting!).
Infinity was released through Barney’s New York back in October as a limited edition. It’s got nice texture, although the colors are not as described above (Olive). Based on the photos, Infinity is the third-from last palette (and probably the best matching description is the one for Color Field). Odd.
I see three I want… crap.
These are beautiful! I love them all but would love to get my hands on 1, 5, and 6. Cannot wait to see swatches.
So much for my new years resolution to spend less money on cosmetics. So much amazing stuff coming out and it’s only January.
Glad these are permanent so i don’t have to rush. I love hourglass products! Color field & exposure are on my definitely list.
In times like these do I regret not living in a country where Hourglass is sold.
Those palettes are gorgeous!
Hi Christine! I think you mixed up Infinity and ColorField descriptions! But who cares!! I am just happy these are permanent!!! The hoarder in me will collect these!!!
Fixed!
Love the presentation of these palettes!
Insanely gorgeous design. Almost too pretty to use. I really like all of the shadow colors in all the palettes, too. Not having separate pans could turn into a huge mess, which I’d hate if I spent this much.
Love the look of Graphite and Infinity – definitely looking at those. Cannot wait for the review
Amazing….I want them all! How will I choose just one?
There goes may No New Makeup vow. Ugh! Okay how about I only get ONE, now I feel a little better.
I wasn’t going to buy anything till April ;_; “these are permanent, these are permanent….” *tries to soothe self gently*
These are gorgeous. I’m not sure on the way it’s not divided though. It may be one of those things that are just not practical.Very interested in reviews. Do you think you will get any of these Christine?
While these look just exquisitely gorgeous, I do NOT like that the colors are not in separate pans, ad I would hate it once all the shades got muddy and nondescript looking. Beautiful, but with a very impractical design.
Omg, Exposure and Monochrome…there goes my “no buy”.
So pretty! I’m going to need one of these in my life.
OMG. Unbelievable.
Thanks Hourglass for making it permanent. Otherwise Imma need a 2nd job seeing that my spring want list is growing fast. My #1 choice would be Graphite but color selections are like the NARSissist Dual Intensity Palette and Im already set on the NARS. So my next choice is Exposure. Hope they review well. Those plums are gorgeous!
Side note, hmmm kinda disappointed they dont have a Marsala themed one tho. Id love to see some rusty red or burgundy or merlot
Oooooohhhhhhhhh………I’m going to have to have a few of these!
I love their blush and ambient lighting powder palettes, so, hopefully, this is of the same quality. Picking just one is going to be difficult! Im trying hard to budget since hearing about Chantecaille’s glacier palette coming this spring and Chanel’s upcoming summer collection!
I got the Hourglass Palette that was sold at Barney’s this fall, think it’s the 2nd from the top. I love the colors, BUT the fall out is ridiculous!! Do not like that!
Actually it’s the 3rd palette from the bottom. Very pretty.
Fall-out? THAT is disappointing to hear. I’m trying to keep to a “low buy”, so the more “negatives” I can read about these palettes, the better (there are 3 or maybe 4 that I’m thinking I would like).
I don’t feel bad about saying that now!! Hate to ruin the happiness! But I just don’t love it. Can’t lie.
Obscura looks really nice….but something tells me to go see this in person.
I saw a sneak swatching of one of these and was not impressed but Exposure and Graphite could change my mind!
Simply Gorgeous!! Gorgeous!!
I can’t wait to see ratings for these! They look really cool!
These palettes look SO beautiful!! Hourglass really knows how to put out beautiful products.
omg, love at first sight. I need these in my life! gorgeous!!! I can’t wait to swatch them and see how pigmented they are.
Atmosphere and Monochrome are my favorites. I love the design!
Obscura is for me!
Oh, dear. Glad these are permanent because I want 4 of them, and that’s a good chunk of change per palette!
Love these can’t wait for the reviews.
Oh my gosh!! It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited over a new release. The hard part is going to be picking one.
So stoked for these! Can’t wait until they’re available for everyone.
*sigh* of course, right after I’ve decided to go on a “low buy” year… thank goodness these are permanent! Jan 1 2016 can’t come any sooner, I’m building up my order!
i NEED the olive one and my bf loves the plum palette (for me, of course)
Really liking Color Field and Monochrome! Eager to see how the swatch and wear…
Oooooh pressure on my wallet…I think I like the second to last one best, but it’s a super hard decision! It really reminds me of Naked 3, but a lot more gorgeous…
Will it be available at Nordstrom?
Love the look of these and cannot wait for them to hit the UK.
Lord, these are beautiful…and pricey.
I’m leaning towards the second one with the olive green….it’s fantastic with brown eyes
I agree….i have brown eyes and tend to lean towards forest and olive greens and the second one seems right there:)
How is it that Hourglass can make ANYTHING look good? Why? WHY? I do not need anymore eyeshadow, yet the olive toned eyeshadow palette looks like the most beautiful thing on earth right now…….argh, there goes my next paycheck.:P
I gasped when I saw these, they are all sooooo pretty and I echo the comment that it looks the most beautiful Neapolitan ice cream!! I initially wanted ALL of them but yet… I just don’t think these will appeal to me once I start working through them. I, like others can see it all turning into a big ol’ mess, but maybe somehow they will maintain their integrity? I don’t know! SOOOO pretty though.
The packaging and texture and formatting of these looks so stunning! Can’t wait to see how they perform.
Atmosphere is like neopolitan ice cream for your eyes! I’m actually drooling looking at these.
Awkwardly, I can’t decide whether I love or hate the design in these, LOL! In terms of the colours, though, I’m definitely eyeballing Color Field, Exposure and Graphite…
I think I may just need all of these. That’d be acceptable, right?
Gosshh.. I am drooling over these eye shadow palettes.. They look so prettyy!! <3
I’d completely forgot about these when organizing my Spring Makeup Budget….thankfully, they will be permanent cause I know I’ll want at least one.
Um. When is their next 20% off sale??
There’s usually a 15% in spring, may be more for rouge or something.
Monochrome is calling my name, hopefully the colours look good on me because they look beautiful in the picture.
My birthday is coming up soon… I KNOW WHAT I’M BUYING!! 🙂
W-O-W. Once again, Hourglass making me lust after their products. I haven’t been excited for a new product in a while, which is good for my wallet but boring. I will definitely have to grab at least a couple of these. Can’t wait for your review!
WHOA. These are gorgeous. They are out of my price range, but my favorite is the second one. What an innovative move!
They really nailed it with the packaging. It makes them so hard to resist!
woow! they are gorgeous! Xx
Exposure looks gorgeous! I’m loving the plum hues in that palette. Obscura also looks really nice. 🙂
Wow these are stunner!! Is it totally weird though that I despise palettes without dividers… sigh… I mean let’s be honest, I’m sure I’ll get one cause they are beautiful and I love HG but reminds me of the physicians formula bar shadows…
They’re live for VIB Rouge! I can’t choose!!
Color Field, please (although they’re all gorgeous!). I have loved every Hourglass product so far. 🙂
I ordered the EXPOSURE first…ive been looking all over for swatches so i hope this one works out good! 😉
Hmmm. The only one that really appeals to me is the plum one (Exposure, I think).
I thought I might love Graphite, but those shades just don’t look quite right for me.
And $58 for eyeshadow?
I just don’t know …
