Rebecca giving people 10% off Hourglass! 😍 Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear the Hourglass veil. 😉
Yasmin! You made me laugh and warmed my heart at the same time!!
I would LOVE some more top 5s on other brands ❤❤
I have a Patrick Ta one prepared for tomorrow but I went a slightly different way with it
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty ooooh ta!
Yes please!! 🙏🏽 ❤
The Hourglass curator eyeshadow backlash was 100% about the price
And, with regard to that, the angry people certainly had a point. It’s highway robbery I admit
Great choices! I thought the hourglass shadows were over priced as well. That was me! However, I am now owning my truth …. I can’t apply shadow expertly, I enjoy “boring” palettes and shades and I am more interested in the quality and ease of use for every day and these nail it 😊
I always love when you are here, Mona!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Hourglass powders- top 5 Hourglass items would be Hourglass Veil Eye Primer (so good & so underrated, Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, Hourglass Ambient Powder Brush, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure, & of course Hourglass 6 pan holiday palettes (have quite a few of them - lol)!!! Hourglass is definitely one of my favorite brands!!
Honestly, their powders are unmatched. I agree.
I love your new intro! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
That is so nice of you. I very much appreciate that. It’s a work in progress for sure and your feedback is so so helpful
Oh and their tubing mascara is brilliant
That unlocked mascara is indeed very good
I only own the jellyfish face palette, but I love it ❤
The jellyfish is a really good one
I love the curator shadows and concept. I’m with you, Rebecca. They are beautiful. I was less aghast about the price because I have the pro artist discount.
Right? I guess it’s more for you and me then, Hanna. No one else agrees with us ha ha
More for us 😉
The newest hourglass foundation launch. I’m on my third bottle! It’s amazing.
Totally agreed!
I bought leopard in the jellyfish case.
💕💕
Hourglass is one of my top brands. I love their powder products, especially the Jellyfish palette and most recently the Golden Rose edit, I LOVE it for summer. Everything is so easy to blend and just looks effortlessly gorgeous. The Unlocked satin lipsticks are my favourite lipstick formula possibly ever. Love their brow products too, their gel eyeliners, brushes, Veil setting powder, concealer, foundation stick, eyeshadow sticks. Their cream blushes in the stick are so underrated. If you told me I could only buy Hourglass for the rest of my life, I'd be OK with that!! According to Space NK, it's my most purchased brand and I regret nothing 😂
I would say that it’s very rare, but it happens, that people complain about their quality. The prices people always complain about but very rarely the quality
I honestly take no issue with your love of the shadows since I have palettes that have products that I've never touched. I'm a palette hopper & have a couple going at the same time to get the colors I want. You have chosen the shades you wanted & unlike many of us, you're using all you paid for! Was the price high? Maybe. Was it worth it? Yes it was.
What is that expression I once heard? The quality is loved long after the price has been forgotten
I love Hourglass! The bronzer, blushes, and their finishing brush in #7 are all HG status for me. They don’t dry out my skin, and last longer than any other powder products on my skin. I also have Vol 2, love that one as well. I need to try their matte lipsticks, hopefully they are not drying. the satin ones didn’t last on me. Oh, I have been using that #7 brush for many years! It’s the best brush for smoothing whatever needs to be smoothing out on your face. The best I have ever tried. And, I have tried them ALL, including SG soft buffer, does nothing, waste of my money. . I once left #7 home when traveling. I was actually upset with that. lol! Oh, I forgot. I love their tinted skin tint as well. #7 in that one, perfect shade for me.
I have never used their brushes. Can you believe that?
You know, those shadows must not be that hated! I just clicked the link to take a look and they are all sold out (or no longer avail?) I like the one you have on had never seen them and of course now I need it!
I am not so sure if it’s that they’ve sold out or just that they haven’t restocked them because there was such a backlash
Your voice sounds better, I am happy you are getting better ❤ Also, I love the highlights in your hair!
I still have the skin tint on my list. I just want to finish some foundation in my collection first.😅
I have the Elephant face palette and like it.
Oh my goodness! I am sorry people were upset about you liking the Hourglass eye shadows! So…people can’t like expensive things? 🤔🙄 Lol okay, if you don’t think it’s worth it…just move along.
I really enjoyed this video ❤
Thank you so much for being here! Oh the elephant face palette is so good and I think you will love the skin tint when you get a chance to try it
Hi Rebecca! I depotted my hourglass holiday palette (check my video called Depotting Hourglass) and I made a custom palette with only finishing powders. I love it! Since the pans are small, I prefer to have the same type of product instead of a variety of colours
That's a GREAT idea!
I have four individual blushes & they last a long time so for me,worth the money.I love that lipstick but I have a very similar one from Lisa Eldridge that will see me through the non existing summer over here lol ,Such a pretty look Rebecca ,i hope you are feeling better 🙂🇬🇧🇺🇸
The nonexistent sum is true. Sometimes it’s just rain and wind where you are I’m sure. I will send some sunshine over in a box
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty yay🌞🌻🌸
I’m that one who’ll spread out those palettes on her vanity like Batman with his monitors on the wall of his Batcave! 🤣
I love that. You make the most of what you have
I’ve just ordered this lipstick. It brightens your face! So youthful! Hopefully I get the same effect ❤
I hope you love it too!
Hi Rebecca, this is a great video. Love hourglass. I love mascara, Eyebrow products, finishing powders and the holiday palettes!
When the eyeshadows came out, they ?40 each in Australia, not certain about the number. Then you had to buy the component separately of course. Back then i wasn't buying chanel and tom ford makeup so i couldn't compare, but i vividly remember my reaction of WHAT???!!!! 😅
i think it was purely the price. Even though the bronzer was like $80-90 😅.
It was definitely the price compared to the size of the product too I suppose
I want to try their tubing mascara, but haven't yet. My Hourglass favourites are the ambient lighting powders, the vanish primer, the blushers, and the setting spray. All of these are top banana for me
Oh you will really like the tubing mascara. It is indeed very good
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Do you think it is better than the Tarte one?
The Hourglass face palettes are fantastic. i love them. The flawless foundation is amazing. I'm on my second bottle. I really like the veil primer as well. The blushes are chiefs kiss and this isn't a makeup product, but i like their brushes aswell 😊
I love the primer! Have you tried the finishing spray?
@MsBNoodle no never tried the finishing spray. I love the CT setting spray and I'm I'm the middle of testing the Vieve setting spray
@debbieotoole1072 I like the CT one too. I haven't tried anything from Vieve yet but I should!
I need to try the brushes!
I have Leopard in the Jellyfish packaging and the deepest palette in Owl. Those are my only two Hourglass products so far. I'm still getting to know them, so I don't have a final answer as to my opinion. had no idea the eyeshadow situation even happened or was a thing.
The eyeshadow was likely a blink and you'll miss it situation but, at the time, people were just raging for a week straight. haha.
I picked up Leopard in the owl case. Love it! Thanks so much for another great review Rebecca! ❤👍 Now I have my eye on the skin tint😂
Also, thanks for the reminder about the eyeshadows! I love hourglass (I even have the hourglass sweatshirt😂). Will definitely be looking closely at picking up some shadows!
That owl case was so popular and beautiful
The eyeshadow looked good on your lids. I need to hear how they compare to ND’s newest releases in ease. I was just starting to get into hourglass but then they removed ingredients from their site and didn’t respond to emails with questions about ingredients for *months*. The eye balm is HG.
They have a weird way of dealing with customer service. They don’t get back to people and stay very secretive and I have no idea why that is as it completely impacts Customer confidence. With regard to the shadows, these are a little bit less creamy than Natasha and a little bit less impactful but not by much
The Hourglass Curator pallet? I don't like Hourglass enough to try a $100 pallet for only 3 shades. I was never angry about it...I just wasn't willing to purchase it.
That is totally a fair statement
Oh I love this idea! Hourglass is one of my 3 must have brands (with Charlotte Tilbury and my true love bareminerals original foundation and powder).
My picks would be: the scattered lights
Ambient lightning palette 2 (Iam very very fair but with golden undertones) Iam on my 3rd compact!!
The mascara in the triangular tube
Blush in mood exposure
The metallic strobe light palette
Mood exposure is such a lovely shade
The metallic strobe light palette, such a favorite!
I'm so bored by Hourglass but I'll be buried with Dim Infusion blush, Nude Bronze Light bronzer, Euphoric Strobe highlighter and Luminous Light ambient powder. I loved the Metallic Strobe Palette for years but finally decluttered it
Honestly, Linda, I think you speak for us all. It’s like not hourglass again with these repeats. But I can’t live with them, you can’t live without them.
Love these type of videos!💖
Thank you so very much, Sheila!
My top 5 are the bronzer in Diffused Light (such a unique undertone and looks nothing like the pan), the scattered lights shadows (I have all of them but smoke and ray are my faves), the skin tint (I’ve been wearing it all week and had forgotten how beautiful it is), the original finishing powder trio, and the veil retouching fluid (there is nothing else I have found like it).
Oh those are such good choices
Great video idea!
Thank you so very much!
Hi dear Rebecca, love to watch this!!! And it seems you feel a bit better here, i hope you feel completely better soon, you are so brave, keep on going making these video's!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Hourglass? What first comes in my mind, o wow i tried a lot, but what i think first is these Christmas palettes, well they already come in September/October? I love the Elephant, was that last year the Leopard? Well, i buy them anyway. Am i satisfied about their progress for deeper complexions, no, can me better, still!!! Do they make amazing powders, yessss there is more, but when i say i do prefer their gorgeous finishing powder over the stupid Guerlain Meteorites, i mean it, i hate the smell, i hate te mess in my house, they always fall on the floor, i'm to chaotic for that. Hourglass makes gorgeous powders. That eyeshadow you showed was amazing, but i decluttered/gave away i believe, cause i got really crazy of the packaging. Ohh what i do love, is using the cute little shimmer single shadows, i think i love the colour Ray the most, but they have also a cute sort of khaki green and more! Summer Elephant palette, winter Sculpture, most used. What i love most about the brand, is that they are honest, i mean Chantecaille says we give it to the animals, well, i do not, from The Netherlands, Hourglass DOES it!!!! I love their philosofy!!! What would i love from them, a normal mascara, like Chantecaille has. Further, when we may curate shades, Hourglass, make customer-friendly packaging, and not that the products fall out the palette right away, and very important, more all-inclusive shades, can still be better! And i'm happy they don't have too much releases. Lovely video, thanks dear Rebecca, sending you lots of love!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder what hourglass has up their sleeve for us this holiday season?
Holiday 2023 was my first time dipping my toe into Hourglass. I bought the Leopard & the Snake palettes but swapped the contents around. These two gorgeous palettes made me kick myself for not buying the Holiday 2022 offerings which I talked myself out of buying! 😡😆💕
It’s their holiday pallets. They get us every year
Originally I got Jellyfish as the Owl …. Thanks for the code lol! I loved it so much I bought Leopard and I really might like it better love the blushes my favorite is the click stick lipstick I just got it in RISE! It’s sooooo plumping I love the unlocked mascara too! Does that lip liner set down? I’ve been searching for a neutral nude pink ones that do (colourpop oh snap is my perfect shade)
Yes, the liner doesn't budge!
Mine are the hourglass scattered lights eyeshadows I have all of hem except for burnish and ray and I can't find a demo of Burnish on the eyes on RUclips for the life of me. It seems like everyone has tried on all shades except Burnish 🥺
Oh my goodness. You’re right. I don’t even have burnish and I have a pretty extensive collection
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty If u ever decided to try on burnish pls show us too 🥺
I haven't tried a lot of hourglass, but I like what I've tried thus far. I want to try a face palette this year!
Oh please do. It’s such a treat
Hi ❤ I have all the products except the lipliner. I forgot about the skin tint, I gotta pull it out. Hourglass is a great brand!
Have a wonderful weekend 🌸
Thank you, Belinda! Hope your weekend was great, too!
Hi lovely Rebecca !! I love using Hourglass products , I know the shadows are expensive but I loved them and worth the money to me personally. I currently have dim infusion blush , and powder , nude bronze light bronzer. I have hit pan on the eyeshadows . I will repurchase them again when I find a discount code 😊. I would like to try the tint and lip liner ❤🤗
I didn't know you loved the shadows too!
Huh, I had never heard anyone talk about either those eyeshadows or lip liners before! i ordered a single shadow in the shade Orb (metallic golden brown) and a lip liner. My favorite lip liners are Chanel but these look like they are worth a try if you like them. The only Hourglass holiday palette I have is Leopard (in the Owl case), and so I am glad that I got what you think is the best one! I agree that their skin tint is really good. I don't like the scent in those Unlocked lipsticks but I do think the Phantom ones are nice. I would like to see more brand overview/best/worst videos from you.
Oooo I like the Best/Worst by each brand, Lisa!!
I love the skin tint! Do you put sunscreen under or over? I also just picked up the lipliner. Fantastic.
I do indeed put sunscreen underneath!
I can't remember as i have a brain like a seive but it's possible the eyeshadow came after they released their trio of powers for deeper skin tones and there was controversy over them not being inclusive enough and some people didn't believe the product would work on the model used.
OK let’s talk about this. You are right but you will be told you are wrong. There was a period of a year or two where the brand was really under fire for inclusivity or lack there of. And they kind of went into hiding to try to formulate different types of powders for deeper skin tones but they made a critical PR error in that they didn’t really communicate this to the public. And it was during this quiet That they released these eyeshadows. So the public was already furious with them And then they introduced these incredibly high priced eyeshadows and it is that undercurrent that fueled the anger. And people will tell me I’m wrong but I am not.
@NotFitforPrintBeauty ah I couldn't remember the exact timings of everything. I do think it would have had an influence eg..thanks for the eyeshows but why haven't you sorted your shade range in your core line
I thought and still think that eyeshadow is overpriced. I prefer Natasha Denona for price/quality ratio. I love Hourglass unlocked mascara, Hourglass brushes, Hourglas holidaypalettes, Hourglass primer and what I always use...is an other product that got backlash: Ambient Lighting Infinity Powder. I use that stuff as natural highlighter, under the brow bown, to town down blush/eyeshadow looks For me it is a go to and last ages...
I love the infinity powder also. I think you and I are the only ones ha ha
could you please share all the names of the eyeshadows used ? i have 3 as well but got them as singles because that’s the only way i wear eyeshadows. i love hourglass !! my favourite items are the skinny 1.5mm eyeliners, caution mascara ( i loved the original film noir mascara too), unlocked face palette, arch brow mascara, lip oil both original & tinted. in fact, hourglass is a brand which has only a few products that don’t work for me. oh & their brushes are fantastic too !
Fox, Coy and Orb :)
Oh I’ve got my hourglass tint and the leopard on today 🎉…. Surprised you’re tint 3 - is it because it’s neutral? It looks like a great match for you - I’m normally very close if not the same shade as you in complexion products but as I had to buy online as the tint is not sold here I went for 6 & 8 which are cool tone but easier for me to adapt than warm tones…. But 3 is listed as fair which put me off and I’m most definitely a light-medium and the model for 3 was very very pale.
Everyone went darker when this first came out. I guess this works on me because it's neutral??? I am not entirely sure.
Rebecca I completely agree with your assessment of the LE skin tint. I was so disappointed I don’t think I’ll be trying any new completion releases from her brand.I actually don’t need any skin tints. So I ended up holding off on the hourglass face tint. I do love their lip sticks and the glossy lip balms. Hourglass face powder is amazing. It never looks cakey or dry. And, I love how it dispenses. I think people were angry with the price and the shape of the shadows. Also, I think I remember people saying the shadows weren’t magnetized making it difficult to put them into a Z Palette or something similar. But, I do remember the quality got pretty good reviews. I’ve tried all sorts of bits and bobs from Hourglass and have enjoyed what I’ve purchased. For me their standout products are their powders. And, I have to add, I’m a real sucker for their face palettes. I hope you’re feeling better. Love your hair today!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for always being such a source of information, fun, and validating opinions here in the comment section. You were such a gem.
Do you realize your review video on the Hourglass Curated eyeshadows is almost THREE YEARS OLD?? Wow...where did the time go?? I went back in the way back just to read the comments... including my own!! 🤣 Yeah people were mad!! 😁
That was a wild video especially when my channel was only about a year old. I got to go back and look at those comments myself
The Soft Matte Lipstick is my favorite product currently from Hourglass. My other favorite soft matte lipstick is the Lancôme Soft Matte. It is extraordinary and doesn’t get enough love!
I do get out multiple eyeshadow palettes when I do my makeup. In fact, I’d even say the times I use just one palette are the vast minority!
I have realized I don’t like face palettes because I don’t think to use them. I store products by category and when I’m picking out my products for the day, if a blush isn’t with my other blushes, I don’t think to use it. I liked the Jellyfish in Owl packaging, but I wasn’t getting use out of it. I gave it to my daughter and she uses it every.single.day. She has declared herself “an Hourglass Girl” 😂😂😂 Lucky for her the palettes last forever because she doesn’t have the funds to be an “Hourglass Girl” unless it’s gifted to her! 😂😂😂😂😂
I have never even considered trying the Hourglass eyeshadows. I was NOT expecting you to say the eyeshadows! Now I want to try them!😂😂 I spend $90 on a Tom Ford quad, so I obviously have no leg to stand on complaining about Hourglass shadow prices. 😂😂😂
Edited to add: The shadows are $29 each! I don’t see people rioting over the $40 single Chanel shadows! (And I don’t care if the Chanel gives 2g instead of 1g. I’m never panning these things)
Yes. It was weird that HG got them rioting in the proverbial street but Chanel just waltzes by. So strange! An Hourglass girl. hahahahahahaha. My daughters live in a style to which I'd like to become accustomed, as the expression goes. Must be nice. meanwhile, I have holes in my socks.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty 😂😂😂 When my daughter was in high school she once asked me, “Why do you wear the same old clothes all the time? You need some new stuff.” (In fact the other day I was wearing a blouse that I was also wearing in a “on this day in memories” photo montage that popped up from when she was THREE. She is almost 21 now. Yep, it’s still in the summer rotation!) When I explained that I could get new outfits, but it would eat into her own clothing budget, she had a greater appreciation for my “classic wardrobe of tried and true items” She thought it was great that I “stick with what works for me instead of hopping from fad to fad”. 😂😂😂 She does, however, encourage all makeup purchases knowing she is the automatic recipient of anything that doesn’t look great on me. 😂😂😂😂
@@LisaF_ OK this is the funniest thing ever. I was just telling Helen the other day, after I got back from RUclips and all of those ladies do a lot of Instagram fashion stuff, that I can’t do an outfit of the day. It would be like an outfit of the month!!!! “And today’s outfit of the season which you will basically see it various forms throughout the entire summer…” my youngest has an iPhone 15 by the way. And my oldest just bought an entire underwear wardrobe from Skims because apparently they fit the best. Don’t mind me in my yoga pants from four years ago.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes!!! Exactly!!! We are living parallel lives!!! 😂😂😂😂
I really like the hourglass tubing mascara, I’d love to know your favorite if that’s not it!
My favorite tubing is the original tarte tartlette tubing :)
I liked their lip glosses & blush in Mood Exposure. A while back in my endless search for a cool toned plum blush one of the community members suggested it. I can't remember who it was (Annemarie?) but it is a lovely blush!! 💜
As for the lip glosses I have two but see they're not sold at Sephora anymore. I wonder if they're being discontinued? I like Hourglass enough but think it is overpriced. Never tried their powders, foundation or eyeshadows 🤔 those $29 eyeshadows!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, the eyeshadows really WERE extreme in price. Like EXTREME.
I have a love hate relationship with hourglass. Their face powders are incredible but I hate their lack of diversity i. those palettes, which is odd because they seem to be inclusive in other areas of their makeup offerings(foundation and concealer), so I’m perplexed with the face palettes. Like you, I’m not going. from palette to palette. I’m a love the one you picked out to use person and that includes eye shadows too. I’m not bringing in a companion palette. Although I do keep a ND blackest black single shadow or an old UD brown single shadow out on my dressing table just in case I need a deepening shade. Well I take that back because I have the Sydney Grace Coffee something or another out for those cool palettes that are missing a cooler BUT deeper brown, which is why a lot of brown skinned or deeper completed folks often take issue with cool tone palette because they are missing the deep but cool depending or transitioning shades. I digress.
Anyhow, I have some favorites and they include most of the same ones you mentioned: primer ( thankful no SPF or exhaustive list of transformative claims…i’m talking about you, Charlotte 😂), eye and lip liner( some of the best in the market. I put them up against my other favorites ND and PML), their face palettes(nothing like them), and their loose face powder…AMAZING!! Just because someone makes a face palette, it doesn’t mean it is comparable to Hourglass!
I haven’t really ventured into their lipsticks but I have tried their gloss and it’s nice but not worth the cost.
While I wasn’t rage baiting lien folks were when shadow palettes came out, even as much as I love high end and luxury shadows, I couldn’t justify the cost. Didn’t they also release a skin care line that was equally as expensively off putting?
I loved this video and I thought about how even with all the frustration (valid concerns) tossed their way and a relatively small amount of products, their quality has never changed, which I really appreciate. Now if they start offering some more inclusive powder palettes 😬
What in the world is it with them and powder? And even when the world complained… Even when people were boycotting the products because of it, they didn’t really say anything and they never really addressed it. Very strange. Oh my goodness, yes, I remember the skincare line. I never tried it. I don’t think anyone tried it. It was just obnoxiously expensive and I think it faded away into silence
The bronzer from the leopard Do you know if It is available separate?
I don’t think that one is. I’m gonna look into it some more and I’m gonna come back to this comment if I find it
Hello,
My favorite Hourglass products are in the following order: The bronzer in Nude Bronze Light - it's so perfect for me that I don't need another bronzer.
The scattered light mono eyeshadows - so easy to apply, so kind to eyes and skin (which is very important for me) and although so simple you get compliments and I find eyeshadows most beautiful when they glitter :-)
and in third place the matte lipsticks .
These are the products I use the most. Regarding the price in general, I would like to say that on the one hand there are brands that are more expensive (where nobody gets upset?) and on the other hand that I bought all the products in the sale ;-) For me, the price of this brand is justified by the fact that it uses high-quality ingredients that do not irritate my sensitive skin - which is not a matter of course and important for me. Cheap products that irritate my skin and eyes do absolutely nothing for me. So I limit myself to a few good products.
One product from Hourglass that was unfortunately disappointing for me was Caution Extreme Lash Mascara, not because of the formulation but because of the brush and the tube. Too much product comes out, the brush doesn't work on naturally long lashes. I have better mascaras that are cheaper.
All the best for you, Maria
This is such a wonderful comment Maria. You make so many good points
Funny, I dont care for Hourglass, but the curated eye palette has always piqued my interest
I’m telling you, it’s far too expensive but it’s so good.
Haaa is fill reduce to buy those over priced shadows. Evens when they have even in dale 30% I’m like nope lol I know they are good quality. You know I’ll spend money on makeup. It’s just the price with the size that is just a no go. It was funny how we were outraged lol.
Oh the outrage was so palpable!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty lol yes I remember
I actually don't use my jelly fish pallette as much as I used my massive single of DIM light I think there's something to be said for just being able to grab a powder and not worry about using a small brush or mixing the colours. I like the veil primer - I really want to try the finishing spray bit don't know if it's worth it. For me the curator pallettes were just clunky design. If they'd been more smoothly done like the finishing power shapes etc I'd find the whole concept more appealing. I also dislike the work curate when it comes to makeup- it's not a museum. (Unless it's in a museum)
hahahaha. Unless it's a museum. exactly. haha.
The eyeshadow??? Really??? Better than ND or YSL? Or, is this in the (very) niche subcategory of curated palettes?
I do wish that they'd do curated face palettes in four or six pans.
oooo YSL really IS so good....hmmmm....
You know what’s funny, those shadows never went on sale. So someone must of been buying them. My issue is Hourglass had to be peer pressured into making colors for deeper skin . Before that bothered me but then I thought they have the right to choose their audience.
The shadows didn't go on sale. That's right. How STRANGE.

🐐🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐐🐐
In my opinion Hourglass is one of the most overpriced brands. The average quality of their products and the very cheap looking packaging made me stay away from this brand. Their eyeshadows are by far the worst. In Australia each shade is $48 and the case (for 3 shades) is $23. Let’s pretend you buy 4 shades and the separate case is for 4 colours instead of 3. Total price is $215 for a quad. Because is refillable when you buy just the 4 shades in order to refill the cost is $192. A Hermes quad is $175 and is refillable. When you get the refill is $110. I think I’ll stick with Hermes because it’s cheaper.🤣🤣🤣
I have 4 eye brushes from Hourglass. They were my first high end brushes and I don’t use them anymore because I have many fude brushes now. But I also have Rae Morris brushes (vegan, handcrafted in Japan vs Hourglass brushes- China factory). The price for each eye brush is slightly higher than the Hourglass but the difference in quality is huge.
At the end of the day it’s a matter of choice/taste and if you think it’s worth it to spend the money for Hourglass makeup and this makes you happy it’s nothing wrong about it. 🙂
Wonderful comment. And I understand all of your points. Especially in Australia when they raise the price it just makes it beyond exorbitant.
