Oh, and about that palette. I found the most compelling reason not to get it: shade match. The powders are marketed as "universally flattering," but as we universally know, that is rarely true. Whenever I have doubts about a shade I find as many blog and video reviews as I can by people with the same skin tone -- Asians/medium/yellow undertone. Based on these reviews, the most flattering Ambient Lighting shades would be Mood Light and Diffused Light -- none of which are in the Palette. The shades are that in the Palette (Dim Light, Incandescent Light, and Radiant Light) seem to flatter more Caucasian tones. As much as I love palettes, when they come with this hefty a price tag I'll go for picking up singles that suit me over pre-selected shades. You know what would be excellent? If you could make your own custom Ambient Lighting palette! I would pick that up IN A HEARTBEAT.
The palette is sold out at Sephora but is still available at Hourglass, Barneys NY, and SpaceNK.
