Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette in Obscura ($58)

I have, thus far, been extremely good about not caving in and buying… well, everything Hourglass came out with in 2014 (especially the Ambient Lighting Powders and Ambient Lighting Blushes, which I have to admit to being ridiculously tempted by). I suspect this has more to do with the fact that the brand is so hard to get one’s hands on in Greece (and with the rather shocking prices) and less with my actual self-restrain but it is the end result that counts, right?

Today, however, I saw something I will most definitely be unable to resist. Enter the Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette (an “artist-inspired” , 5- color wonder that comes in 7 glorious shade combinations). I immediately fell for the ‘Obscura’ one, which features some of my all time favorite earthy tones: cream, smokey brown, rose gold (!), coffee & a cool bronze (!!). 

These little gems are currently only available to Sephora VIB Rouge Members (if that, since they all seem to be sold out at the time of writing) but should soon become available to us all. Credit cards at the ready, then…
