When I was in New York earlier this month I nipped into Sephora to have a look around and was immediately drawn to the Hourglass stand. I’ve lusted after the Ambient Lighting Powder palette for some time, but came to the conclusion that I probably wouldn’t use it half as much as I’d envisioned. I decided to pick up a blusher instead as they looked like such wearable shades and I was keen to try something from the brand.
I chose the shade Radiant Magenta which is a pretty golden fuschsia pink. Unlike traditional blushes which tends to be flat, Ambient Lighting blushers exhibit depth and dimension. They integrate Photoluminescent Technology which results in cheeks with an otherwordly flush.
Whilst this shade sounds like it’d be particularly bright, it’s actually quite delicate. It lasts really well on my skin and I love that it adds a hint of highlight to my cheeks, but nothing over powering – I’m still able to use my usual highlighter afterwards. These blushers are super pigmented so only a very light swirl is needed to apply, and they leave a pretty, soft flush on the cheeks.
This is hands down one of my favourite blushers, and I’ll definitely be growing my collection and checking out some of the other shades. The Ambient Lighting Blushers can be purchased in John Lewis or House of Fraser for £28, or from a host of other retailers.

This is such a beautiful shade! I'm using dim infusion at the moment 🙂

I have the original palette and as you thought I just don't use it enough. I am trying to declutter my make up lately and start to use the products I do have and it's been brought back to the top of the pile but I think you made a good choice with the blush.

This is such a pretty color, I have the mood exposure blush and eventually I plan to get this shade.

I prefer the lighting powders to the blushers because I'm yet to find anything else that provides such an exceptional base but I do like the blushers, I have a very neutral one so I'd like to try a brighter one next time xx
I have been drooling over anything from the ambient lighting range since their launch! I recently bought the By Terry Baume De Rose, so this is now definitely top of my 'to-buy' list! This blush looks absolutely stunning, I'm thinking of going for the palette as I don't know how I'd decide between everything! Great post lovely.
