The Hourglass powders are stunningly beautiful, I have no issue with their quality. A palette like this gives you a chance to try different colours/effects but there are minuscule amounts of product in each pan. I’ve hit pan very quickly on one blusher (who's hit pan on blusher before?!) and the bronzer. I would rather have bought full sizes of these items as the first powder does nothing for me and the highlighter doesn’t suit my skin tone, so only part of the palette is useful to me.
I understand it’s a chance to try out different products and if they all suit you, it’s a wonderful thing to have, but whilst I love the products within, I’m not a fan of the way they’re packaged.

This is an all in one powerhouse of a palette which contains everything you need for the face in terms of facepowders, highlighters, blushers, and bronzer. You can also double up the colours as a very light wash of colour over the eyelids. The cruelty free element is an added bonus. Suitable for those with light to medium skin colouring and has an added mirror for convenience, the colours are buildable although those with darker skin tones may wish to follow the application up with a darker colour from an alternate product. The texture of the product is silky and finely milled, it is uniform in application and doesn't leave patchiness

😍❤️😍 I rarely use emojis when reviewing but this one really needs them! This palette is beyond beautiful...from the colour payoff to the buttery texture to the stunning packaging. I love it all and I’ve since purchased the latest Unlocked Edit palette and also the bronzer in a separate compact because I’ve hit pan and it’s sooo beautiful. The blush adds a soft flush of pink to the cheeks (this looks so pretty in the summer). The highlight adds a light gokden glow but can be built up to a really intense highlight if you use a setting spray. I love how they all apply and blend and they can be built up for a more intense look. Each powder contains glitter particles but doesn’t look chunky or like a glitter ball, they just add a healthy glow. It’s compact enough for in your hand bag and great for travelling. I’m a huge fan!
