It is time to get excited because the Hourglass Holiday 2022 Ambient Light Edit Unlocked palettes have been revealed and they look absolutely stunning!! This year it’s a very different collection with designs created by London-based artist Katie Scott, celebrating the Elephant, Tiger and Butterfly. Here’s everything you need to know, plus a full round up of all the previous Holiday palettes over the years.

What’s in the Hourglass Holiday 2022 Collection?

It’s an all palette collection this year with three full sized Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked palettes. The range includes:

  • Ambient Lighting Palette Unlocked Elephant £78
  • Ambient Lighting Palette Unlocked Tiger £78
  • Ambient Lighting Palette Unlocked Butterfly £78

Each palette has been created to support Hourglass’ partnership with the Nonhuman Right Project and 5% of profits from each Unlocked palette will go to the charity.

Each powder uses Photoluminescent Technology to diffuse light for skin and each palette is vegan and cruelty free, and created using 100% tin. The Limited-edition packaging is by artist Katie Scott. I absolutely love it.

Hourglass Holiday 2022 Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Swatches & Review

Swatching these palettes was a complete delight, just as I expected them to be.

The powders of soft, silky and smooth and glide on to the skin beautifully. I love the edit of shades, and I think there’s something for everyone here. Tiger is great for deeper skin tones, whilst Butterfly is ideal for those with fair skins, and Elephant is more of a medium option.

I think I will get lots of use out of them all, and I particularly like the Tiger palette for eyes too.

  • Do you think the metallic palette will work well for someone with very fair skin?

  • I’ve ordered my Ghost palette with the Space NK discount – thanks! This is the first year I have really wanted the palette. I have a couple of their blushes but no powders, bronzers or highligts. I’m excited to try it out. Emma x

  • Oh I’m so excited to receive my order, I was on the website just after 7am this morning I wasn’t taking any chances lol! Many thanks for always keeping us informed with dates and deals especially this one from SpaceNK.
    Though I wish they had of released the shades for the eyeshadow trio earlier as after seeing your previous review on the new colours I immediately went and purchased the shade Ray which of course as you said is absolutely stunning. I have the shade Foil already but with the offer I went ahead and purchased Rapture which technically only cost me £10 so win win all round x
