Hourglass returns to Singapore


After a few years of absence (during which the brand pretty much reinvented face powders and went from an obscure niche name to a cult brand), Hourglass is finally back in Sephora Singapore.

And they are back with a vengeance. 
You can now find all the best-sellers, from the classic Veil Mineral Primer to the must-try Ambient Lighting Powders which put the brand on the map. 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders and Palette

There is a lot of hype, so my top 3 priority picks for you to check out are:
  1. Ambient Lighting Powders - the hype is real. These ultra-fine, ultra-silky powders give a soft-focus perfected luminosity without emphasizing pores or looking metallic. There are two finishes, matte vs slightly pearlescent. I like both equally. (Check out Diffused Light for a great under-eye brightening powder.)
  2. Ambient Strobe Lighting Powders - yes, I love my Becca Shimmering Skin Perfectors, but not everyone wants a high-sheen metallic look. The Hourglas Strobe powders have a knack of creating a subtler, polished, emanating-from-within, 8-glasses-of-water, 8-hours-of-sleep, 8-weeks-of-facial-and-juicing glow.
  3. Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation - it's time for a return to a proper matte foundation with great coverage. This formula contains clay to absorb oil, and is perfect for hot humid weather. If you have normal to slightly-dry skin, you can skip the powder.

Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation

Three other worthy mentions include:
  • Veil Mineral Primer
  • Ambient Lighting Blushes
  • 1.5 Mechanical Gel Eyeliner
These honorable mentions are good, but two are relatively new to me.

I feel primers tend to be as personal as mascaras; whether something works well on you or not depends what foundation and skincare you wear, so what I find fantastic may not work as well for you, and vice versa. I will just say if you're looking for a matte primer, this is worth trying.

As for the marbled blushes, they are gorgeous and silky, and I know a lot of people will buy at least one just to check out. They just aren't as game-changing as the other original Ambient Lighting powders. (Just my personal opinion - they might rock your world.)

One other cultish item which is still quite new to me is the 1.5mm Mechanical Gel Eyeliner. I'm one of those lazy people who will use pencils to create flicks, so I can get a gel-liner effect without having to wash a brush, and this just makes the job much easier. I'm still testing it out so I can't say how long-wearing it is compared to others but if you have some extra budget this is something to check out as well.

Hourglass VEIL Mineral Primer

I personally feel Hourglass consistently excels at face/skin products - especially face powders (powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter), so if you have to pick only one item this is where you should probably look.

Hourglass Modernist Eye palettes

You can stop by Sephora.sg from today onwards to check out the line (and enjoy free shipping over S$40 within Singapore) or stop by some of the stores to swatch and play first. I kinda suspect the bestsellers will go out of stock pretty quickly during the "launch rush", so you might need to move fast.

  2. My names are Ashley Vivian, Am here to share a testimony on how Dr Raypower helped me. After 1/5 year relationship with my boyfriend, he changed suddenly and stopped contacting me regularly, he would come up with excuses of not seeing me all the time. He stopped answering my calls and my sms and he stopped seeing me regularly. I then started catching him with different girls several times but every time he would say that he love me and that he needed some time to think about our relationship. But cannot stop thinking about him so i decided to go online and i saw so many good talk about this spell caster called Dr Raypower and i contact him and explain my problems to him. He cast a love spell for me which i use and after 24 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and started contacting me regularly and we moved in together after a few months and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than his friends. We eventually got married and we now have been married happily for 3 years with a son. Ever since Dr Raypower helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before.You can also contact this spell caster and get your relationship fix Email: urgentspellcast@gmail.com

  5. I was haven herpes 2 on my private part. I have had them for about 2 and a bit years. I am so scared what my mates are going to says if there should fined out i have herpes on my private part and due to the virus my girlfriend broke up with me. I have been to the Doctors 9 times to get it treated. They all come back. I have been using Tee Tree Oil and Wartner (You freeze them at home) and they seem to be keeping the smaller herpes small but they can't seem to treat the larger ones. They don't get any bigger, but then they can't shrink as much. They get smaller a little part at a time. At least they are getting smaller! As soon as I see a new herpes appearing, then I treat it. At the moment I have been using Tee Tree twice a week and then using Wartner every 2 weeks. I was wondering if there was any other information about how to get rid of it. I am only a teenager and I hate it most when it get pi-chins me to scratch it, it get sweets when scratching it most times! I want to get rid of it so bad! DR.ONOKUN website has been a huge help and has helped me realize a lot more about me and my family of genital herpes! so that was when i switch for natural remedy to see if there could be any help by herbal remedy, i search and i saw a great posts by Sarah devise adebayo ehijactor and shanttel Merritt on about the great herbal doctor that get them rid of there disease infection. and this great herbal doctor was called DR.ONOKUN so that was when i contacted him for my own treatment and he prepared me some herbs which i takes for some couples of days, and i take it as he says before i am to no me and my family was perfectly cure for it and never experience it again. please friends if you have herpes virus and you really wants to get rid of it, please contact this great DR.ONOKUN for herbal treatment and you will get rid of it.
